I have a Juki HZL F600 (I call her HaZeL). She's a fabulous machine! I love the automatic cutter, options for stitches, large throat space, and good lighting. I just quilted a king-sized quilt on her!! She purrs like a kitten. I hope you enjoy your machine as much as I have enjoyed mine!

I have the Juki 400 and love it! Know you will, too.

I have the Juki HZL F600 and love it. I'm guilty of not exploring everything, but am glad I chose the 600 vs. 400. I know there's plenty of room to grow with her and won't wish I'd gone to the 600. Just a little food for thought and either way, you'll love either machine. Congrats and enjoy!

I just bought a Juki TL2010Q and let me tell you - this is the most sturdy sewing machine I have EVER owned. I'm ready to sell all my other machines to buy one of the Juki HZL series for my other sewing (the 2010Q is a straight-stitch only machine). Good luck with your new machine!

Enjoy your new machine, and have fun with it.

Fantastic! Hugs to both you and your mom!

Congrats....enjoy the journey and the end result

CONGRATS!!! I am sew excited for you, I know what you mean about saving for a machine I'm in that boat now, still a long way to go :thumbdown:. But I just got my mothers machine out of storage and cleaning it up & realized I learned to sew on this machine over 40yrs ago with my Mom, she passed away 22yrs ago so this machine means the world to me and she still works like a pro.

I am so happy for you! A new machine is so very fun to get. Make sure they have a good warranty whichever one you choose. You never know.

I'm excited and happy for you. When you get an unexpected windfall like that, it's nice that your mum shared it with her kids so you can do something special for yourselves. Mums are like that, yes they are.
