Hi....I just purchased a Juki F600 sight unseen....but after doing a lot of research. I was hesitant to buy something I couldn't touch if test drive but the reviews and price were too good to pass up. I was leaning towards a Pfaff but it appears from the reviews I read that they are not as well made anymore. I absolutely LOVE my Juki. I'm mostly a quikter and home decor....and dabble in garments. This machine will do everything I need and it is so quiet. You can tell it is well made on the inside, where it counts! Good luck....it is a big decision as they aren't cheap.
