Bought my Juki 98Q 3 years ago (in Jan) and absolutely LOVE it! Love the new model even more! (My sisters came to sew with me and they all loved it too.
If you are serious about your quilting a good machine makes a huge difference in your quality. I learned that after sewing on a 1974 Kenmore and then going to the Juki. Kenmore went to my daughter and is still being used to this day.
I am looking at a long arm as I want to keep the Juki for piecing- I know the 9" throat would not be big enough for an easy fit for quilting on a frame. I have quilted queen size on it now, but with no frame.
Enjoy shopping!
