Ordered Juki J-350 Miyabi Longarm on Grace frame
So encouraged by all of your comments. I had been researching Longarm machines for months. Looked at many different manufacturers and models. Sight unseen decided the Juki J350 fit the bill due to digital eyes for stitch regulation, sealed motor, low maintenance, and other standard features that are only available on much pricier machines. I have two other domestic sewing machines for brand experience. A Bernina Virtuoso 153QE that is 20+ years old (still runs perfectly) and a Juki TL18 QVP two years old. I primarily use the TL now for quilt piecing.
i have placed my order with Juki Junkies and we were able to get it on an eight foot Grace Evolution Elite frame as I have limited space for a Longarm and wanted to get as much quiltable space as possible. I live in okc and confirmed there is a Juki authorized technician here that can service the machine when needed. I was also able to find another Longarm technician who can set it up for me for an hourly rate. Should receive next month.
