Congrats on your new Juki, LaRae. I'm loving mine. I've done lots of practicing on it (since I'm brand new to FMQ). So far I have completed 4 quilting projects on it - a wall hanging and 3 quilts. I've been using the "precise" option exclusively. The stitch regulator has been a great help since I'm somewhat fanatical about perfectly even stitches. I've been very happy with how all of my projects have turned out. This is my first (and so far only) Juki, but I'm really glad I chose it over the other machines I looked at. It really seems to be extremely well built machine and I like the features on it (including the side hand-wheel). Enjoy your new machine. I'm sure you'll love it.
