I had a Viking Rose which I loved but its motherboard finally gave up. So I bought a Juki with a large throat that everyone seems to love. It pieced and free motion quilted well, but I just could not get the walking foot to quilt well for me. I adjusted everything I could, but over the course of a week of struggle, I still didn't like the result. So I returned it and got an Elna Excellence 720 very much like my old Rose (which they don't make anymore). I'm happy.
