I don't have a Juki machine, but did have an older Bernina industrial, and sold it last year because the motor noise drove me nuts. My thoughts for quilting are - I don't think I would like to remove the feed dogs - how complicated is that & then to replace them for normal sewing. All I needed to do was set the stitch length on 0, and using the knee-lifter to hold the foot a little above the work instead of adjusting the pressure of the foot. Some who use domestic machines tape a piece of plastic (with a hole) over the feed dogs if they make sewing difficult. If I found a 'quiet' ind. machine I would buy it, just for the speed.
