I want a new machine
Has anyone had either of these machines?
I need a new straight stitch.
I have regular sewing machine with lots of built in designs, also have an embroidery machine, Esante,
but I want one just for quilting and fast straight stitching.
I had never heard of the Reliable sewing machine until I started checking out machines, when I was looking at the Juki 2010.
Can't afford the more expensive machines.
Both are around 899.00, with quite servo motors, the Juki has a larger bed, but the Reliable has a small table.
Thanks

I have been a "lurker" on this site for a while and haven't posted often, if at all before. But, based on recommendations from previous posts on this site, I recently purchased the Juki TL-2010Q, and I couldn't be happier. I have an old Pfaff 1475 that I struggled to FMQ with. I've had the 2010 for about three weeks now, and I FMQ'd a lap quilt with no problems. With the Pfaff, I had to be aware of the direction I was moving the quilt and go extremely slow if I was trying to go backwards, and I still had to fix skipped stitches and other problems. I moved the quilt every which way with the Juki without an issue.
I am now piecing a quilt, and I'm loving the knee lift, which was one of the deciding features for me. I didn't think I cared about the automatic thread cutter, but it has become my favorite feature. I still have my Pfaff to use when I want special stitches or zig-zag, but the Juki is my primary quilting machine.

The Juki is a complete set up. The reliable will require an additional table and either a single phase clutch or servo motor. It is more of an industrial where as the Juki is semi-industrial, it has a finished bottom cover,an extension table, and ready to go. Also - I have sewn on a Reliable machine. The casting is rough, the finish is rough and it will NOT hold its value like the Juki will. Go with the Juki.
