when I went to buy a sewing machine, I looked at the Juki 2010Q. That machine sews beautiful. I had a Janome that had decorative stitches on it. I ended up buying the Janome 8900. I had the money at the time to afford it. Remember that 98% of sewing is straight stitch. There is a huge different in price between these machine. I liked the free motion better on the Juki. Juki is about $950.00
