I have a Juki 2010, love it! But it's a straight stitch only and I'm a mechanical machine girl. It's got a nice throat, nice and heavy and sturdy, thread trimmer and speed control, I do quilts and blankets and bags and garments and it's a fantastic machine. You actually have the budget for a couple of machines, you could get a Juki 2010 and a grace frame and still have money left over for a computerized machine with tons of stitches!! Have fun
