Does anyone have this machine? My 45 year old Singer finally went to the Big (and hopefully much cleaner!) Craftroom in the Sky and I was thinking about this machine.it's onsale at Joann's for $599. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Patti

I've often seen this machine mounted on the table top quilting set ups. Like the Handiquilter for instance. That seems like a good price from what I've seen at quilt shows. I always thought it would make a good back up machine. I like the thread cutter feature. KJ

I purchased one last spring. I still have my regular machine, (an aging Pfaff that I am trying to keep working as long as possible), as the Juki is only a straight stitch machine. It is easy to control, and comes with all the quilty attachments that you might need. I don't use mine in a frame, but DH adapted my table so that it can sit flush, so it is easier to machine quilt. It does come with an extension table, so it is easy to use anywhere. This was the first time I had made a large purchase online, but was quite happy with the delivery and machine. I got mine from

NAYY. It came with a $300 shopping spree from Superior Threads. They have a set of threads already chosen for you, or you can select your own (that is what I did, as some of the threads were for sergers and bobbin work). Their shipping was fairly fast, and they have some hints online to help you get the machine ready to sew. You might want to compare shipping costs etc.

I have one on my grace frame. I've taken it off a couple of times for making purses - it sews through thickness better than my Elna - but for the most part it just quilts. I got it two years ago for almost two hundred more than that. That seems like a really good price.
