Do you have a link for that? I went to the Grace Company website and I couldn't even find a Juki machine.

I have seen a lot of people say that the walking foot is loud and clunky, they must have improved it, because mine it pretty quiet. I do wish that the machine came with feet that attach like the Bernina, I love that machine, but it was giving me fits with FMQ so I bought the Juki for that, but so far have only pieced on it.

Wow! Which Bernina do you have? I've had a 1630 and I currently have an Artista 180. My Bernina is my go-to machine for FMQ. Never gives me a problem.
