I want a straight stitch machine for quilting....
I'm thinking about buying a Juki TL2010...however...I'm not sure I want a "temperamental" machine as a fellow poster here talked about. I've loved my Brother Nouvelle PQ1500 for the past 12 years with NO issues whatsoever. However, we moved cross country from AZ to PA in February and the movers were far from careful with my machines. Even though they were labeled as fragile sewing machines and packed extra well by me, they piled heavy boxes of books on them and the tension guide was broken on my beloved Brother machine.
I took it to be repaired but was tempted by the Janome 9450 and brought it home. It's an OK machine, but does not sew through seams on quilts like my Brother did, even with the Accufeed feet. I want a straight stitch machine again and thought about another new Brother 1500SL but I've read they have issues, too.
Any suggestions??
