Moonrise- I have the Juki TL2010 Q that I bought specifically for FMQ because of the large throat space but it's straight stitch only. It's a great machine.
It seems that the newer machines that have zig-zag also have a lot of other stitches, bells and whistles.
I'm looking to upgrade my Bernina. I was told by a blogger I follow that her 770QE has given her some problems. That was the one I was looking at. She recommended the 500 series. Also said to check our Janome and Baby Lock. Not sure what I'm going to do. I really love Bernina.
