In July I tested the Brother 1500, the Juki TL2010 and the Juki TL2200qvp mini which is the newest Juki TL version available. It's often confused with a similar named Juki long arm machine but it's an upgraded version of the TL2010.

I liked the Juki's over the brother - the speed control was a feature that I preferred on the Jukis but it really boiled down to the Juki's just "felt better" to me.

In the end I bought the newest Juki TL2200qvp mini. I was told the motor is stronger (which wasn't noticeable or important) but for $100 more than the 2010 it came with several feet and the walking foot w/guide. The only two add'l optional feet (not included with the 2200) is the Echo Foot and the Ruler Foot.

In the end, I liked the Juki's better and for under $1,000 I got the best TL with all but two feet included.

Ultimately, you can't go wrong with any of the machines you're looking at - I think they all are wonderful! Good Luck!
