It does not start to roll on the edges, and does not leave much residue to clean off when I remove it.

Since it's taped to the table, I can untape it from the machine, pull the table out so DH can do service, then put the table back and retape the part to the machine. No need to realign since it stays in place on the table. I have it cut so I can change the bobbin and oil without removing it.

Thanks for the commentary on the Juki. I've wanted to get one for a while but we pay so much more in U.K. It's a big expense. I'm going to the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham on Thursday and Juki have a new model of the TL2010 on a frame so I'm going to check it out and hopefully bring one home with me.

Well they have some type of table top frame set up so I'm hoping that will be suitable, I mostly make lap Quilts and baby Quilts. I'll let you know when I get back.

I emailed a dealer about the walking foot on this model and she told me that they have tweaked the design of the walking foot. Tweaked is my word but basically that's what she said. I have got to try one out.

I'm really sad tonight. I went to try this machine out (actually, not the 2010Q but the newer model 2200 mini), but with my arthritic hands, I simply could not get the bobbin in with that awkward side orientation. It really seemed like the perfect machine for me, because I want a mechanical and don't need fancy stitches. Now I'm not sure what to consider next. The same store carries Baby Lock, but the mechanical Jazz has a very low throat, and the few reviews I was able to find were not good.

She has that seam guide on with painter's tape so it can be easily removed for that oil hole you mentioned, Canny
