This past summer I bought a Juki HZL-F600, it came in at just over $1000.. and I LOVE IT! The walking foot isn't built-in, but included. It has a lot of embroidery stitches, but is geared mainly to quilters. I've used some of the decorative stitches on applique. The HZL line are Juki's models that are being marketed to the home quilter, rather than commercial sewer.
