Thinking about buying a new machine
 

I want to buy a new sewing machine just for quilting straight stitch only I've been looking at the juki 2010tl my question is it only sold online or are their places it can be purchase after test driving it with samples of different material and if not reviews would be appreciated. TIA

sorry, I can't add to the knowledge bucket for Jukis :)

but as an alternative thought, you might look for a Singer 301 or 404. Light, workhorse, fun to own, and you can do the service (what little there is) yourself. It is also a fun search :) and singer cabinets are fairly easy to find and cost nearly nothing... they are 50-60 years old and will no doubt last another 150 years.

this was just posted yesterday on the 2010Q

Just remember that buying a DSM is just like buying a car.
