I have the PQ1500 and have had it about 4 yrs with no problems. Tension setting once set you don't have to mess with much, and it will take any thread you want to feed it. Very easy to do regular maintenance on. I have mine mounted on a Grace EZ2 frame and have done many many quilts on it. I bought mine on-line and have been very happy with it.

I use my Arrow Gidget II table with my Bernina 550 for retreats - this table is longer and wider than the SewEzi. I found an excellent price Sewing Machines Plus!

[QUOTE=zozee;8275455]Agreed—Sewing Machines Plus is a terrific company online. I bought my first little Janome from them (had questions, talked to a real person to order it) and the next time I callef in two weeks to order other stuff, tslked to the same guy and he remembered my name![/QUOTE

I agree ! Every single thing that I have ordered from them, they went the extra mile to talk and answer my questions. I never felt rushed or pushed into one product over another. The owner actually called me once to tell me that a foot I had ordered was back ordered...real people, real customer service!

I would put my extra money into the machine I wanted, and deal with a table later. There are tons of you tube videos on how to drop a sewing machine into a table or how to raise the height of your table top to your sewing machine bed height..what I did was use an old formica topped table and cut out the place for the machine, made a simple box for it to set in, and attached it to the table. A little turtle wax on the table top and a quilt moves like it's on ice.

I absolutely love my Juki 2010. You will too!

If you have the space, you can probably get a used sit down mid arm for a very reasonable price.

In any case, try to get the machine with the most throat space that will fit in your room and your budget.

I love mine, too! I was just using it early this morning, remarking to myself how easily it quilts and sews with my ruler work.

I decided on the Juki and ordered it from Amazon this morning! It's Prime days, so I earned 6% rewards by using my Amazon card. Bonus! That's 60 bucks I can spend next month on accessories. �� I also bought a very nice desk (30" x 60" surface) from Facebook marketplace last week and I believe we can drop in both machines, offset and on opposite sides so both will be setup and usable all the time. The little one will be off to the right of the Juki so as not to interfere with quilting surface area. I can add my folding tables if needed with large quilts. I'm so excited!!! I will share pics when we eventually get my room set up. Thanks to all for your help!
