I own the Juki Tl2010Qi I love that machine. I have a Pfaff Creative sensation...I hate it. The first machine that I bought and learned the bulk of my quilting on was a janome memory craft and I love that machine as well. ( Disclaimer I quilt on my longarms...but I do a lot of piecing as well) If you just need a straight stitch machine I would say The Juki. It honestly sews through everything. I also watched a friend of mine quilt several quilts on the same Juki during a retreat and it was amazing.
