I've narrowed down my wishlist to one of these 2 machines, I think...

The Juki TL-98Q looks really good to me, but I think I'm still leaning toward the Pfaff 7570 because of the IDT... but then the Juki has something similiar to it...

It's a tough choice... and then there's the price consideration!

I love my 7570 Pfaff, had it over 12 years.

I love my 7570 too. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything...

Love my 7570!

I don't know anything about Pfaff, but I LOVE my Juki tl98q and wouldn't trade it for anything.

i have the 98Q but i wouldn't use it for piecing so in this case i would go with the Pfaff.

the 98Q is a straight stitch only machine so if you ever want to do machine applique you'd be out of luck.

if you like Juki you might want to look into the F series either the 300, 400, or 600.

i have the juki f600 and i love it for piecing. its a 9 inch throat so its great for table top quilting.

i have the juki 98Q on a frame and use it strictly for frame quilting.

Ditto! :-) :-) :-)

Do you use it for piecing? My present Brother doesn't hold the seam straight for me... That's why I've been looking at the Pfaffs for the IDT feature. Then I tried sewing on a Juki at a dealers and really liked it, too.

I'm so confused...

I've never sewn on a Pfaff, so can't help there, but I do have the newer Juki TL2010Q and use it solely for piecing quilts... it's KILLER!

My Bernina 830 (much adored by me) is a dual feed machine like the Pfaff, and let me just say that the Juki is superior for piecing. I have tried so many machines, from the $10k Bernina to a vintage Singer 201-2 in my quest for the ultimate piecing machine, and the Juki wins, hands down. If my testimonial isn't enough, ask Sharon Schambers, since she's an award winning famous quilter, that's what she also uses! (She has the older TL98Q).

I have found the trick with the Juki is to sew with the presser foot pressure reduced to nearly zero, and it performs even better than the dual feed. Honest. It's amazing!

Love, love my Juki. Both for piecing and quilting.
