I own a Bernina 710 with BSR and a Juki TL2010Q. The 710 has all the bells and whistles but is temperamental...I hold my breath every time I turn it on wondering if we are going to get through a sewing session with smiles or frustration. The BSR was a novelty at first but I quickly found I preferred doing fmq without it. I don't need all the fancy other things the Bernina does. The Juki on the other hand is a straight stitch only, mechanical machine with needle up/down, presser foot pressure regulator, speed control, auto cut, and knee lever.......and I love it. I only do piecing and quilting, I don't like decorative stitches and I have no interest in embroidery and applique. The Juki is perfect for my needs and pleasure and the Bernina is now set up on the side cabinet as my "spare".
