If you had your choice of these two machines, which one would you buy if they both were the same price? I want to put it on a frame possibly with a Qbot. Need advice please!!

Can you do a feature comparison between those two machines? I read somewhere that the Viking has a needle adjustment option but don't quote me on that. Other than that, I believe the machines are practically the same. Juki is known for their industrial machines and the reviews are good. Not sure about warranty.

I would think the throat space of these machines would severely limit what the Q bot could do.

Do you have a qbot? I was thinking that it would be better with a bigger throat.

If I am remembering correctly the 2 machines are very similar...same size throat, etc.
I have the Juki, and I love the speed and everything about it.
Check and see how many yards go onto the bobbin on each machine. That would help me make a decision.

I don't know anything about the Viking, but I am not giving up my Juki for anything! I want to get a long arm, but when I do, the Juki stays for piecing. I LOVE everything about this machine.

I use it on a frame, but I can't imagine using a Qbot with it. With only a 9" throat, by the end of the quilt you end up with between 4-5 inches to quilt in. Not alot.

That said, if I could find a long long arm Juki, I would buy it. As long as you remember the magic words "Juki Loves Oil" everything is great.

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE my Juki! I have 5 other machines and it is by far my favorite for piecing.

I don't know about the viking either but I sure LOVE my juki!

I have a Juki on a frame, just got it about a month ago, I love it. I agree though, that a Qbot would be very limited.

So it is looking like these machines are not too good for the Qbot. So I better rethink this. Thanks for everyones input. I really appreciate it!!

I have the Pfaff equivalent of the Viking MegaQuilter, with frame and Qbot. Either one Viking or Juki will work with Qbot just fine. However, your quilting space is limited to about 4 inches at the end of a quilt. If you have the money, get a larger machine. The HQ16/Avante/Fusion and Tin Lizzie 18LS/Queen/Ansley all will work with Qbot. I do wish, that I had the money for a larger machine. But when I do get that money, my Qbot will be able to work with the new machine, also. Whichever machine you get, you'll enjoy your Qbot.

Thanks for the advice. I think that the Juki is going to be my choice even if I get the qbot.

Thanks so much!
