I have a Juki TL98E, about 9 yrs old, and works wonders!!!

Babylock Jane works on a frame. 9" throat, 1500 spm, and straight stitch. @ 1300, but you may find a classroom model at a dealer. And, it sews jeans like gliding over butter!

The shop where I bought my Jane told me that Baby Lock dosnt make machines. They put their name on other company machines.
Jane is a Brother 1500.

actually, not knowing if your looking for one for a frame, i would say to not get the 6600..,(if your planning on getting it on a frame.)
it is to heavy for lifting on and off a frame. and has to many bells and whistles to waste on a frame.

i would get a Juki..nothing fancy,and great on a frame! ( i had one on a gracie pro frame.)

The Janome 1600 is also a good machine for quilting. i think they can be bought for around $800.00

Both have 9" throats.

Pattern Review website has reviews of sewing machines by users. pros/cons and prices they paid. worth checking out:

I got a Janome 1600 online (new) for $499 and free shipping. I thought it was a mistake in pricing but it was correct! I don't think the prices are that low now.

:thumbup: Well let start by telling you I just got a new Singer 9960. It has a 10" throat. I don't know about anyone else. To me this is a real sweet machine. I don't know if it is still on sale . It was $1099.99 but singer had their 160 th year. They sold it to me for$448.00. Sewing Machines Plus.com. No taxs no shipping. I have had nothing but good luke with it.

I am like you. I thought it was a mistake but it wasn't. It also is new not a used machine. I just guess GOD thought it was time I had a good machine. My past machines were only what I could afford at the time. Boy did have to replace them often. Happy now!!!!! :thumbup:

Just-Lee, I've been looking at the Juki TI2010. Where did you fine your machine for $700 online?

If you can find the Viking Mega quilter it is under 1000 and works great; with a 9" throat

I just checked Amazon.com, and right now they're having some great deals on various Juki's -- one is 77% off!
