    Quilt E Im on it. I’m actually in the process of finishing up a top, so it’ll be basted and ready to go when the machine comes back. I’m receiving a bunch of fabric for a Quilting board boomerang swap blocks so it works out perfect. I like to have two projects going at once. A piecing/applique project and a FMQ project. Keeps me motivated.

    Rob . I bought this machine used because it has such a solid reputation. Mine has been a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully this fixes the problem. I tend to go with a tried and true older model rather than anything new fangled.

    mkc i think I will hold off on the stitch regulator but it’s very good to know it’s available. I want to make sure my machine works for a year before I commit.

    I have a 9-1/2" throat Juki TL98QE and I love it.

    I use the same machine for machine quilting. I bought it on the trade in table at the local dealer for $199. It has a few quirks but sews great. I don't mind being a little rough with it. LOL I plan on using it until it dies and then I'll think about another. Probably what is traded in. I don't like spending a lot on machines. I'd rather use them to death and get another one. I bought my Brother embroidery machine with big hoop space for $299 off the trade in table. If after a couple of years they mess up, I don't fret over it. I bought my first Bernina on the trade in table, a 1260 for $450 with all accessories. It is such a good machine that I never felt iffy about buying from the trade in table. All have been serviced before being sold.

    where did you find one at that price?

    This thread is 3 years old, so prices will have changed. Onebyone said that the trade in table was at her local dealer.

    Hi MJP!
    I have the Juki QVP2200... the first model that came out, so no stitch regulator. But I learned how to BE the stitch regulator just by using it. No stitch regulator hasn't been a problem. I must have had it about 6 years. I bought it at the Paducah show. It was a demo model that they sold me at a great price, around $5000, including all the extra stuff they had on it for display. So I got a free side wing (and bought the other one myself) and chair, and free teflon slider table cover, and some rulers. All for the $5000!
    I've been very happy with it and it's given me no trouble or ever needed servicing. And only the hook needs a drop of oil every bobbin change or two. I have no reason to trade up.
    Hope you find something you love!
