So glad all is well and you are enjoying them. I just have not got the hang of FMQ yet, but the 2010 does superb with the walking foot for straight line and wavy line quilting. Keep us posted on how you do---maybe I will work on it again!

before you invest in a superslider, try waxing the bed and extension with car wax, the kind you rub on, it gets foggy then you polish off. I have the Juki TL 98 and I do lots of FMQ and the waxing has helped lots more than the superslider.

I have both of these machines!! I love them both. Yes, I too was a little disappointed that the 600 was not a metal casing, but it is a true workhorse! I also expected a little more of the embroidery - but I'm still happy; they are easy to use and the manuals are easy to follow. Good Luck!!!!!

I have the same two Juki's!!!! I just got the HZL-F, mine is the 300. I got it on sale for under $600.00. It came with
20 bobbins and 100 Organ needles (assorted). I have the 2010q on an SR-2 Gracie quilt frame. Works great. Plus, the 2010q can be removed from the frame. I use it when I do 'stitch in the ditch' quilting, can't tell you how smooth this machine works, it is beyond words. Takes the 'chore' right out of it. Have fun!!!

I have the 2010. I would encourage you to try different methods of fmqing. I found that, using the darning foot, I usually leave the feed dogs up and the stitch setting around 2. I feel like I have better control this way.
I, too, have an issue with the gloves making me feel too hot. Someone, maybe on this board, recommended that you cut shelf lining (the bumpy kind) to a size a little larger than your hands. Then, just place it on the quilt with your hands on top and go. I used this method all summer with much success.
Good luck with your new babies. I think you will love them.

Oh, and it's not weird that your Janome dealer was trying to sell you a new Elna. Janome builds them. The Elnas just cost more than the comparable Janome, he was trying to make more $$ from you.
