Good Morning all, I have decided to bite the bullet and get a new sewing machine. I'm in the process of looking, and comparing, and stressing out! I have a 9960 quantum now, so I'm looking for something with faster spm, and the ability to handle thick fabrics, also need a decent size throat. The new machine will be used mainly for quilting. I'm in the thousand or under price range. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Brother 1500 is what I have. It has a big throat area. Straight stitch only. It has needle up/down, knee lift, auto thread cutter, pin feed, extension table, all the quilting feet you need, and telescoping thread feeder. They are about $600 or even less. I would then buy the Eversewn Sparrow 30 for all the extra stitches and portability. It comes with ext table. It is about $400 or less.

I have the Juki 2010q, which is like the Brother above. I love it!!! I was not able to quilt on my other machine and this one quilted like a charm!

Nan, does the juki have good/throat space?

I love juki, was thinking about the hzl f600? Wonder if this would be a good machine. I'm so confused 😂

Narrowed it down to 3:
1. Juki tl2010Q
2.Janome 1600P-QC
3. Juki HZL-F600
If anyone can help me y this decision, I'd greatly appreciate it. My brain is tired!!!!

I have a Juki with 9" throat and love it. Jukis are workhorses.
