I think I want a new machine....
:cool:
I've been dreaming of the Juki F600 Exceed. someone talk me out of it!!! |
I would like one also! I've got the Juki TL2010q and love it. I've had it a few years now. It's my favorite!
|
Lol!!
i have the Juki Tl98q and the Juki tl2000qi love them both, but I REALLY NEED. this computerized machine...right???:cool: |
To me, I want as big a throat space as I can get, and the F600, wouldn't even get a second look from me, but, if you want it and it's financially feasible, then go ahead and get it.
|
Not familiar with the machine, but I have so say that getting a nice computerized machine 5 years ago was worth every penny--I love the features and the nice, even stitch. would the dealer take your other machine as a trade in? (although I didn't do one--who can part with a machine?)
|
I have a juki forward and backwards only, and I use it solely for quilting. Haven't seen this machine but I bet it is heavy. I like the juki's as they do everything you ask without question. I've used other machines in a friends shop.
|
What machine(s) do you have now? What 3 features attract you to the F600 that you don't have?
I have the Juki F600 and love it so I may not be the one to talk you out of it. HA. I'm lusting after a mid-arm machine and need to be talked out of that (only because I need to put the money towards my daughter's wedding later this year). If I could just win the lottery. LOL |
i wouldn't talk you out of it either! it's a great machine. it handles thick seams very well. and a huge variety of stitches.
|
I have both machines and really like them. The Exceed 600 is a totally different machine than the TL2010 or the TL98Q. It is not nearly as heavy, far more plastic but still sews beautifully. There are lots of stitches and enough throat space for any piecing and small projects. I have not FM'd on it as I have my bigger machine but there is no reason that it wouldn't handle that too. I think you get good value for your $ with this machine. I paid only half as much for it as my former machine a Janome 6500 which I really disliked. The Juki just sews so much better. I have it set up in a SewEasi table and it's great. It's light enough that I could take it to classes if I need it. I don't think that you would be unhappy buying this one. Juki also has a newer model just hitting the market but I don't know how that compares.

I think you've come to the wrong place if you want us to talk you out of anything sewing/quilting related. LOL

if you can financially afford a new machine, go shopping.
I want a new machine BL dynasty, but its not in the budget. Doesn't stop me from dreaming. |
I have been thinking about the Juki F600 Exceed too. I have the Juki TL2010Q which I use for FMQ and straight stitch quilting. However, I am really tempted to get into crazy quilts, and would like to embellish with embroidery. I was wondering if the F600 Exceed might be the machine for me. I can't afford the price of a full-blown embroidery machine. Juki machines are generally very affordable.
|
I'm also in the process of deciding on a machine for FMQ and have looked at the Juki TL2010Q. Am I to assume that the Juki F600 just has additional stitches? I don't remember seeing that one. This is a good time to purchase machines because there are many rebates because of March being National Craft month.
Always start my morning with the quilting board. Thanks to everyone for their great hints and ideas. |
I am another Juki2010Q owner... and love it. I always prefer a mechanical machine over computerized, in their plastic housings. I don't care for machine embroidery and don't need fancy stitches so I am really happy with the Juki 2010. I'm a bit of a traditionalist with machines. I also collect and use vintage machines. They are wonderful for piecing.

I just upgraded to a Pfaff 5.0, I never thought I needed all the computerized features and stitches but it was so worth buying it. And I agree that you are asking the wrong people to talk you out of any quilting related product.
