I agree - because it is so sturdy, it just hums along without much noise at all.

Congradulations on your purchase!! You are going to love using it for many years.

Mine is not loud,it HUMS,,and it is sturdy,weighs 35 pounds,,made with lots of metal..does that help? |
Great - thank you ladies for the information!

Just FYI for anyone considering the Juki TL 98-Q: I've had this machine for several years and it does a great job--knee presser foot lifter, foot-control thread cutter, etc.
BUT: The needle threader never did work properly and finally broke, and it's not easy to thread the needle left to right. A Juki rep I met at a show told me that the needle threader was a "disaster of design" on this machine. The newer Juki F600 has a vastly improved needle threader, same knee presser foot lifter, same foot-control thread cutter, and many other nice features. If I were interested in a Juki as a new machine, I'd go for this one. I've seen it priced from $700 online to $1300 at a show. (???) |
Have fun, lucky you. I looked at those too, but I love my espire.

Congratulations onn your newe machine. I am jealous

I have had this machine for 3 years and it is a sweet machine---Love it for piecing and FM quilting-----Just keep her clean and oiled----

Enjoy every single stitching moment, Pauline!

I own a Brother Nouvelle 1500S. I love, love, love this machine. It is my favorite machine for piecing. If this is the same one you bought, you got a great deal on it. I paid about $900 for mine. I also own the Juki 98Q and like it but not as much as I love the Brother. This is NOT a low end machine. I keep my Juki in Arizona, where we spend the winters. Enjoy the machine, it's a dandy!!

congrats. I have two dinky mechanical Brother machines and they are great. I can imagine one like yours would be too.
