I have a VIking sapphire and was very frustrated with FMQ. I read reviews on a JUKI 2010q and bought one online for about $900. It's straight stitch only. What a difference in my FMQ. I love my JUKI. My only problem is I can't figure out how to use the needle threader!! Not a huge problem but it sure would be handy. Someday I'll get it!!
