I am dithering between a Juki and the Brother. One of the Jukis has speed control. The Brother does not. But the Brother has the pin feed and the right type of walking foot. What a dilemma. I'm glad for this conversation because it will give me more to think about.

Thank you, Mitch's Mom -- I'll look into that!
Stitchnripper, for what its worth, my Juki TL2000 doesn't have a speed regulator. Even though I'm new to sewing and quilting, I don't feel like I need that because the machine and foot pedal are very precise and responsive.

Stitchnripper - have you sewn on either? DH and I went to a shop where they had them set up side by side. First I sewed on the Juki and he on the Brother. Then we traded places and I sewed on the Brother and DH sewed on the Juki.
After trying both, the decisions was really easy for us to make.

Which Juki did you end up getting?

Two things come to mind:
1. Allbrands.com has excellent customer service. You can call them, tell them what you want and what machine you want it for, and they will send you a compatible part.
2. From another current thread on this board - get a laser line level and attach it to your machine as a seam guide.

What a great group! Thanks again for all your help!
Gigi, I hope you’ll tell us how you like your Brother seam guide thing for your Juki. FWIW, I called SewingPartsOnline and was told that that guide wasn’t compatible with my machine – really hope they are wrong about that!
Peckish, I will call Allbrands. Thanks for that suggestion.
Sewbizgirl, I’m afraid that neither of those solutions will work for me. This quilt is too big to use tailors chalk – at least for me, it’s just too tedious to mark out all those lines, especially when they rub off and get blurry fairly easily, and I’m definitely no good at eyeballing! I just feel like I need a seam guide.
Thanks very much!
Judy
