i can't find the 12" info... do you have a link? are you speaking about a straight stitch only like a longer TL2010? o a commercial machine?

I received a call from a sales rep at Sewing Machines Online trying to 'pre-sell' me the new model coming soon.. here's the link he sent me.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7okqTTouio

It is called the Juki HZL-NX7 'Kirei' and is supposed to be aimed at the Janome 9400 or better machines.. The promo really doesn't cover much detail so I guess we will see..

As for "Why do you love your Juki" question - I have the TL2200QVP Mini (the next generation TL2010) and it's a straight stitch only machine that is as solid as can be.. mechanical.. heavy.. accurate.. reliable.. fantastic FMQ'ing.. It's my go-to machine and I recently purchased a Janome 8900 that is great for any extra stitches I might want but I always find myself sewing on the Juki.

Christine

Edited: I must also add that the new machine referenced above is a computerized machine, perhaps an upgrade to the existing Juki HZL machines and will likely have an entirely different feel than the TL2000/TL2010/TL2200 straight stitch machine that I have.

I also have a Juki 2200 QVP Mini. I find it to be a very solid machine. Nice stitches. Few problems and it does FMQ very nicely. I'm a Bernina girl myself, but this Juki is a great machine.

Wow! No wonder you can't tell anything from that video. It could give someone a seizure!

I have read a lot of positive reviews of all kinds of Juki machines. If I were in the market for a machine I would definitely want to test drive a few Jukis.

I love my Juki HZL 600, she has been reliable with no issues, I purchased her because I did not like the Janome 6500 I had. Now my Janome sits on a shelf, and my Juki is my daily go to machine, now you have made me want to do more research into this new Juki, it looks amazing, thanks for sharing this info.

I bought a Juki HZL D7 about 3 years ago. It is my first computerized machine and I love it. I previously had a great Pfaff and my decision for a new one was between Pfaff and Juki. I test-drove both and Juki came out the winner even though I had no local support. The price was better for one thing, the machine sounded quieter and the stitches seemed close to perfect. There was not much of a learning curve and the manual is great. It has run like a charm since purchase with only one annual tune up. I would definitely recommend a Juki.

I've got the 2010Q and love it. It has performed better than any other machine that I have. If something happened to all my machines it is the only one I would replace. I have two singers and a janome.

Like Cash's Mom, I'm also a Bernina girl. But........ I bought a Juki TL2010Q for FMQ and love love love it!!!!!! It's a dream to work with.
The reason I bought it was because my Bernina doesn't have a wide enough harp. The Juki is a wonderful machine and I'm so glad I bought it. It wasn't expensive either. I'm finally getting better at FMQ.
