I've been hem hawing around about getting a short arm machine with a frame to do machine quilting on, but don't want to invest thousands of dollars getting one. I've emailed a couple of ads on Craiglist after reading many boards suggesting this to be a great site to pick up a great deal. Boy were they ever RIGHT!!!! Found a Juki TL-98Q with a Gracie frame, both barely used, selling for only $400!!! Cannot believe it! Today is my lucky day, should go out and by myself a lottery ticket!!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to start using it!

Good for you! Be sure to take some pics and show us.

Use your lottery ticket money for thread:):thumbup:

Thanks, just posted the pics. I really wanted the Little Gracie II, but figured for this price, I can't go wrong, the machine is worth more than $400 alone, especially being in excellent condition! Anyone have this system currently? Reviews, thoughts, opinions? I'm new to machine quilting, would appreciate any comments you may have.

Congrats on the new set-up.

Happy quilting and blessings to you,

Lucky you! I'm jealous in Wisconsin! Welcome to the board. I don't have that set-up but I've wanted a Juki forever. You're right, the machine alone is worth what you paid. Good score!!!

Welcome to the board! I'm so happy for your great find!! :D:D

Congratulations, Enjoy it
