Before we begin today..I want to add one more thing about yesterdays light boxes…I mainly use the light box for laying out my blocks…not just for tracing… I first lay my pattern on the lightbox and tape it in place, (I have placed my lightbox on the ironing board) I then add my background on top the lightbox…(you can through all fabrics but dark wools). I then proceed to layout my shapes exactly on the background fabric while seeing the pattern through the fabric. This makes everything perfect just like the pattern..no more guessing…start with the vines or stems…then leaves and so on..when all is in place I slide it off the light box and then press it in place with the steam iron. Here is another ready to stitch… 
DAY 1…JUKI SEWING MACHINE & APPRENTICE LONGARM, BY TINLIZZIE18
Every year so far people ask…Will you please do the Juki again this year?…. so here it is AGAIN!…..by popular demand…AND you could win yours free!!! Also if you could never afford a longarm…read to the end you may now be able to!
Now I know we pretty much all have a sewing machine…or two or three or even more…But I just have to talk about the sewing machine I use 99% of the time…It is my #1 Needful thing…Most of you probably have never heard of Juki…so let me just say they are not new to the market…Juki is well known in the garment industry and are mostly industrial machines. I think I have had a Juki for about 10 years now…I also own 2 Berninas, 1060 and a 1530, and a couple of featherweights…one black and one white. I confess this to you so you also know what I am comparing to and you all know I teach all across the country and have stitched on many machines.
I bought the Juki with the intention to use it as a second machine to have set up for machine quilting my little quilts, and also so I didn’t have to change the walking foot from my regular foot on my Bernina…that would have been nice, right?…Juki has entered the quilt world with a semi-industrial machine for quilters. Here are a few of the features that the Juki machines have…all metal…no plastic bobbins, no plastic feet, comes with all sorts of feet including 2 free motion feet and a walking foot, a larger 9″ opening between the body and the arm, so machine quilting would be easier to handle. It has a nice extension table, this is nice for retreats, I have it embedded in my table usually. The machine ONLY stitches straight. Now this might be an issue for some, but I was only going to use this for machine quilting…The fact that it only stitches straight is actually a plus…nice tension all the time, single hole throat plate . It holds large cones as well as regular thread…It has an automatic thread cutter, automatic needle threader , knee lift and stitches 1500 stitches per minute or something like that, in other words it is FAST. It comes with a walking foot and other feet for doing free motion quilting…I use the regular foot and stitch up against a bumper to get a scant quarter inch… Here are all the particulars from the manufacturer:
The NEW Juki TL-2010Q is a high-performance sewing and quilting machine. The TL-2010Q is a single needle, lock-stitch, portable machine, constructed of aluminum die-casting to ensure industrial-quality sewing.
With advanced features, such an industrial sub-tension system, variable speed control slider, and bright white LED lighting, this machine is built for precision sewing. With a large work area of up to 23 inches (with auxiliary table attached), the TL-2000Qi can handle large quilt, sewing or home decor project with ease.
Advanced Thread Trimming
The New TL-2010Q allows you to trim top and bobbin threads using the Exclusive foot controlled trimming system.
Just rock your heel back on the foot control, and thread is quickly and precisely cut.
Automatic Thread Trimmer 
The machine is also equipped with an automatic thread button that simultaneously trims the needle and bobbin threads at the sewing end by lightly pressing the push-button.
Both the Trim Button and the Foot Controller engage the advanced Juki industrial style thread trimming mechanism.
No More Twists or Quivers
The Sub Tension Unit ensures thread feeding to the needle is smooth, even and twist free, no matter how thick your thread is.
It also keeps the thread from quivering when sewing at high speeds and provides accurate, fine tuned thread tension.
Thread Tension Scale
The machine also has the thread tension scale, which allows you to adjust the tension according to the thread and material to be used.
Maximum Speed Control
The new speed control lever gives you complete control over sewing speed.
Set the speed from 200 to 1500 stitches per minute, or any speed in between for free motion, and precision sewing.
heavy
Materials are sewn with Ease
The microcomputer controlled, speed control mechanism, allows the machine to sew materials at low speeds. This provides for accurate feed and perfect stitching when sewing heavy weight fabric, quilting and multiple layers of materials.
Presse
r Foot Pressure Adjustment
Presser foot pressure can be adjusted according to the fabric being sewn by turning a regulator located on the top of the machine.
Needle Up/Down Control
When you stop sewing, the machine will stop with the needle in the down position to allow for pivoting or more accurate free motion work.
To move the needle up or down as desired, simply press the needle up/down button.
Truly Illuminating
The new, bright-white L
ED lighting, provides an illuminated view of the sewing area and allows for more precise sewing.
Automatic Needle Threader
The push lever automatic needle threader easily threads the needle without eyestrain and allows you to start sewing quickly.
Easy Bobbin Replacement
A new bobbin case latch and an enlarged bobbin case area make it easier to remove and replace the bobbin.
Nothing Free Motion Quilts Better Than a Juki
Juki’s rich tradition in quilting continues with the TL-2010Q.
The feed dog can be raised and lowered simply by depressing a switch. When quilting, the drop feed allows you to sew curved stitches with precision and ease.
Juki 1/4 Inch and 1/5 Inch Quilting Feet
The quilting feet are designed for free motion quilting and free-hand embroidery. Just lower the feed dogs and stitch away.
Juki Even Feed Foot 
With its reliable feed, the even feed foot ensures the machine’s ability to produce beautiful seams when sewing difficult-to-feed fabrics such as georgette and velvets, as well as heavy weight materials such as leather.
Knee Lifter Lever 
The knee lifter level allows you to lift/lower the presser foot without using your hands. The presser foot can be raised as high as 12mm.
After stitching on this machine and using it. I did not want to stitch on anything else. It “pieces” beautifully…I didn’t have to hang on to my threads at the start, the feed dogs are nice and close together and fed my little pieces in nicely. Having the single hole meant my piecing wasn’t sucked down into that oblong hole… and again…I could stitch, cut my thread with my foot(or there is a button, but I like my hands free to hold on to my patches) knee lift my presser foot and be on to the next thing…I especially love piecing triangle paper on the Juki for all the reasons I just stated…Now I know being fast really should not be an issue, right? We want to be accurate! But let me tell you, if I am stitching strips, borders or you name it…fast is handy…I tried going back to my “regular” machine to piece on…it was almost painful!!! Just shoot me…I loan this machine at The Gathering, but it comes with a warning…if you stitch with it you WILL be going home with it! I think only one person didn’t buy one after she stitched on it for a weekend…lol…They also have updated the Juki recently…I have a TL98Q (old model at home) and the new modelTL2010 Q1 I have in the studio, they have updated to an LED light…they have added a Turtle and a Hare button, if you want to control how fast it can go…and they changed the foot pedal, a bit…I love both of them and even though they are slightly different I can stitch on both on them with no problem even though they have slightly different foot pedals and controls.
So if you are ever in the market for a machine, please check out the Juki’s and you can read all the technical words I should have used to explain it. I sell only the Juki 2010Q1 at my store in WI…I could sell other machines but remember what I said, I only sell what I use…therefore I sell the Juki’s. I am placing the Juki 2010Qi on sale now until the end of the year at a special of $899-(yes…not a typo $948.95 if you are in WI we have to add tax) which includes shipping too. This is a great deal. We will order more for this same price as long as you order before the end of the year. JUKI In 2016 they will go back to $999.00 still a great price when you think about what you all get with this machine! Please allow a few weeks for delivery…we will not charge your card until we are shipping it. Click HERE to order a machine. The sale price will adjust in the cart.
Last year we sold over 50 machines…and gave one away to Janet Glover…I think she was from GA. If we make it over 50 this year…one of you who purchases will get theirs FREE too!!! Those odds are pretty good!!!
I will be posting the winners for the Last three days on NEW YEARS DAY as we need to sell more than 3 irons and so on for us to give one away…so If you have ordered one of these items and we have shipped it to you we will refund your $$ if you win!!
Tomorrow Santa will post the winners for the first 9 days and then then again the the last 3 NEW YEARS DAY!…but one more thing…

Wow, this looks awesome. I have not owned a Juki sure would love to! Pick me!
Winning this Juki would be awesome! Merry Christmas!
I had never heard of a Juki until I read your blog (I’m new to it this year). Sounds like an awesome machine. Need to start saving! Merry Christmas!
I bought the sewing machine 2 years ago from you during the 12 days of needful things. I love it could always use a 2nd !!!!! Love your shop in Wis and all of your quilts. Have done many of them and am still working on the block of the week this year!!!! Merry Christmas and the best New Year!!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, that machine sounds wonderful. Would be great to win one.
Thank you Lisa for letting us be in on your inspiring creativity! I wish you the best in this new year. Please keep sharing pictures of the new house, what fun! Looking forward the this summers SBOW, it will be my 3rd.Maybe next year I can get a new sewing machine, it’s on my ‘bucket list”. My machine I purchased in 1992 or 93. It was a year old trade-in. And I love my machine but it’s getting a little cranky and tired!
The machines are eye candy! Merry Christmas to everyone at Primitive Gatherings! Thank you for all of your hard work!
I would love to win the Juki, it sounds like a dream machine for quilting.
After waiting several years to buy a new machine, I purchased the Juki from PG last year. It’s the absolute best!! The only regret I have is waiting so long to purchase it. I promise everyone it’s worth every last penny!
Wow I know if you love this machine it must be a good one.
I own a Juki 2010Q and LOVE IT!! I sure didn’t pay $899 either…DARN!! What a deal! Merry Christmas!
The Juki sounds like just the ticket. This would certainly be a BIG step up for me. Thanks for this whole 12 days of Christmas. You’ve passed on so much good information and educated me on a lot of good products new to me. And besides that, it’s been fun, even if I don’t win anything. My wish list is now a mile long. Thanks again during Merry Christmas.
I would love both of these machines. I don’t have room for another machine though. I am going to have to re hunk my sewing area which is slowly becoming my entire basement.
It looks like an amazing sewing machine. I need to be dropping some big hints to someone since I have a birthday coming up in February!
It would be amazing to win this machine. Thanks for such a generous give away.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! And here’s to more stitching in 2016! Love my Juki!
I purchased my Juki 2010Q three years ago upon Lisa’s recommendation. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I also have a Bernina that I use for anything other than a straight stitch. One of my favorite things about the Juki is the way it free motion quilts. The tension is constantly wonderful and there is so much room to move my quilt about. If you are on the fence about purchasing one, take it from me that it is wonderful and you won’t regret it. Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas to all!! I would love to win a new machine.
Wow! The Juki machine is Really Nice! I would have to have it on display when not using! Sewing machines have come a long way since my grandmother time!
Happy Holidays to you and your whole family and the doggies too.
WOW! I think I just heard Santa on my roof!
Merry Christmas. Boy would I like to have a Juki. I have been wanting one for so long. Maybe I can talk my husband into it today. (Ha) Happy New Year to all.
Wow the long arm deal is amazing. Wish I had room for one. Maybe leave my car out of the garage…..
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the machine. Hope Santa stop by.
Hi Lisa! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! We are celebrating ours on Sunday so the kids aren’t coming home until tomorrow so a quiet day today :). Wow! You love your Juki :). It does sound amazing – thanks for all the information!
Merry Christmas Lisa!!!
Merry Christmas Lisa!!
Amazing machine, it is great seeing a machine that is not plastic. I think 90% of my sewing is straight and would love to try machine quilting. Have a very Merry Christmas!
Have been wanting to retire my Bernina 930 and I do believe this is the machine for me. I am a quilter–not much need for all the fancy stitches–and this machine sounds fabulous. Thank you for sharing the information. It seems only right that my favorite quilt shop finds me my favorite machine. It’s in the bag!
Thank you Lisa for the amazing needful things list. It is very helpful to know what items the expert quilters use on an everyday basis. The Juki machine sounds amazing. I will have to keep this machine in mind when it comes time to purchase another machine. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!! Thank you for all your generosity– you have the Christmas spirit! 🎅🏼🎄
Looks like an amazing machine for piecing! Merry Christmas!
Oh wow! What a super wonderful gift to win one of these!! I only have Bernina but it sounds like Juki is a good machine too.
I would love to find this machine on my front porch!
Amazing machine. Marry Christmas!
Sounds like a great machine!
What an awesome machine would be nice to have one. Merry Christmas!
Love my Juki, wouldn’t trade it for anything. And like you I have a Bernina, Janome, and two featherweights!
Merry Christmas to you and your family and all your wonderful staff. The Juki sounds amazing.
I bought this Juki machine from Lisa two years ago. Everything she tells about it is true. Awesome machine. Absolutely love it.
Merry Christmas Lisa! The Juki sounds awesome – thank you for educating us on it. I have the Bernina 150 (really old one) and I’ve heard the new ones are plastic. I’m definitely going to consider the Juki!
Merry Christmas to all and God Bless Us Everyone!
I’ve heard you talk about your Juki in a class last year! You raved about it- it looks fabu! Thank you, Lisa for a fun event- it was a treat to read your blog and see your pictures! Thanks for letting us peak into your life and sharing your stories with your “fans”.
Beautiful machines! Would love to own one!
Would love to own this machine. Sounds amazing.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas! I love the pics of little man!!! His tepee is way cool. I love reading about the sewing machines every year. The very next machine I buy will be the Juki without hesitation. I wish I could justify the expenditure now but alas I cannot. I will purchase it when Mr Clean and I downsize in a few years. Then I will ruthlessly let go of the sewing machine hoard! Merry Christmas to you, yours and all your wonderful staff! I wish you continued blessings and prosperity in the new year. Laura B in GA. PS Will Primitive Gatherings be at the EXPO in Duluth in March?
The perfect sewing machine – every sewers dream
Merry Christmas
Kathy G
Lisa I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season! I would love a new machine. I used the Juki at your retreat house and loved it. Thanks Happy New Year!
I am so tempted to get the Juki! I may gift myself with one before the day is over😍
What a generous thought that you would even give a way a Juki machine. Thank you for the chance to win. Merry Christmas!
I was looking for this post yesterday so I found the other one to post on.
I was impressed with the 1500 stitches per minute and see it has a ‘turtle and hare’ button. Good thing to get into speedy gradually. What a wonderful feature. A machine with a single hole plate would be wonderful to stitch on. I’m in ‘lust’ just reading what you and the other owners have to say about this machine.
Santa has been here in Ct, but no machine under our tree unless he mistakenly left it elsewhere. You know he’s getting old and the mind is the first thing to go. 🙂
The Juki would be a dream machine!
This sounds like a wonderful machine with all the accessories!
My sister has the Juki and she LOVES it! I don’t think she ever gets her Bernina out anymore! Maybe it is time I jump on the train and see what you are all raving about! 😍 Fast is always good…… LOL
The Juki sounds like a wonderful machine. Simple is all you need sometimes.
I bought a Juki machine last year…alas, did not win it…& I really love it! Merry Christmas & Happy new year!
The Juki IS a great machine! I don’t have one, but you have always shown us the greatest tools!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family!
I have no more room in my new sewing space! Would love my own long arm!
Move over Bernina! If I’m lucky Juki will be joining us. Thank you Lisa for all you do for all quilters everywhere
Very nice looking machines. I really wish I was in the market for one. Maybe I just need to wish a little harder.
Hope your Christmas is bright and New Year Wonderful. Thanks for all you do such a great job.
Merry Christmas! If anyone is undecided about getting the Juki–go for it–you won’t be sorry!!! I love mine and having a second one set up just for free motion would be awesome!
My niece is learning to sew and would love to get one for her someday! I have a Juki and it’s a gem!!!
Merry Christmas to all of you! Both these machines are exciting!! Maybe this will be the year.
The Juki sound wonderful! Merry Christmas Lisa.
Merry Christmas Lisa, thanks for doing the 12 days of Christmas I love reading all of your post. The 2 items today sure look wonderful, I look forward to getting my things ordered. A couple of years ago I ordered the Dovo set and just love them. Have a wonderful 2016 and can’t wait to see what PG has in store for all the quilters out there.
Love, Love, Love my Juki!!
Thanks for the wonderful tip regarding the light box! As usual that is a fabulous tip!!
Redhead xo
The Juki sounds like a great machine for both quilting and piecing. I think it’s my next sewing machine! The tip about using the light box at the sewing machine is a great one and a good reason to have one. Thanks for doing these 12 Days, I look forward to it and have a nice list of things I want by the end!
The Juki would be an amazing Christmas (New Year) gift!!
Merry Christmas from Rhode Island! I’ve been dreaming of owning a Juki — fingers are crossed 🙂 Have a wonderful New Year!
The Juki would do everything I need! May your day be merry and bright!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Lisa!
It does sound amazing! Merry Christmas and I guess I need to start saving for next year.
Merry christmas
Merry Christmas Lisa and everyone at Primitive Gatherings who take such great care of all of us throughout the year! We have loved you and your beautiful work since we “found” you and Nick out at the Royal Oak mall years ago and Christmas quilts and wool pieces made from your patterns and quilts are part of our family holiday traditions each year!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Would love to win this machine.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Lisa!!
This machine sounds amazing!
I’ve been wanting this machine for a while…Thank you for offering this machine and a chance to win. I just finalized my order :), but sure do hope I can win this machine too. Enjoy your day and wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Ordered the Juki . Thanks Lisa for all that you do. You keep our creative juices flowing..
WOW=:) what a machine!! Thank you for letting me be a part of your creative world.
Merry Christmas, Lisa! You’re an inspiration!
Thanks for the detailed info on the Juki. I have been looking at them for a few years. Maybe I will get to test one out this year. So many great features!
The Juki sounds amazing!!
Merry Christmas! Thank You for all you do. I would love to win a Juki. Michelle
Happy Holidays to all at Primitive Gatherings! Thanks for sharing your great kindness and helpfulness when I requested it. Would be grateful to give any Juki machine a wonderful home!
This would be a great machine to have set up at all times. Thank you for the fun! I would love to win this machine!
Thank you for doing the 12 Days of Christmas! I look forward to this every year. Thanks for all you do to set this up and for all the work on your blog. The Juki sewing machine looks nice. I am very tempted !!!, May 2016 bring great things to you and your family!
Those machines seem like a dream to sew on! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have this machine and love it. I use it for my machine quilting only right now. Merry Christmas.
Everyone of your favorites would be on my fav, love to have list. You always make everything look so fun!! Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks at Road.
Someone who orders this machine is going to be a very very happy winner but even if they don’t win the discount your offering is great! This year was my year to purchase the iron and light panel…. I’m hoping to be able to get a new machine next year and hopefully it will be the long arm!!!
I don’t have a gazillion sewing machines – computerized machine that’s getting old, a Featherweight, and a serger. I would love to own a Juki! Blessings to you and your family for a Merry Christmas!
I ordered mine, wished I had last year, but just couldn’t swing it. Maybe Santa will pick my name.
Merry Christmas to all!
Wow. Great deals. thanks so much and wising you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy 2016.
You are a good salesperson for purchasing a Juki. It is always better to hear from someone who uses the machine for the same purpose I would. Merry Christmas. Doesn’t a little one make Christmas more fun?
Would love to win. Learned so much from your class last summer. Merry Christmas!
I can’t wait to get this machine that I just ordered as I like to sew FAST! I was the speed demon in one of your Bloomington classes last year and you used my pieces to demonstrate.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family! The machine looks fantastic.
Bought the Juki three years ago after reading a huge amount of reviews. Lisa’s comments made the final decision for me to buy one. The best machine ever! Don’t hesitate, you’ll love it! Start the new year off with a whole new sewing experience! Merry Christmas to all!
If I sewed more…I would definitely buy one. 🙁 🙂
Sounds like a great machine. I think it is very similar to the Brother 1500S which I have owned for probably 10 years. I use it for 95% of my piecing. I’m tempted to get the Juki, but my Brother still works great so will probably think about it some more. Merry Christmas!
What a wonderful 12 Days you’ve had Lisa, lots of awesome things!
Have a Merry Christmas!!
usairdoll(at)gmail(dot)com
I’ve been tempted to buy this for the last 3 years but it’s because I already have enough to sew with now. Hoping to get to test drive one of these in the near future. Merry Christmas!
That Juki sounds like a TERRIFIC machine! Would love to try one. Thank you for being so generous and doing the 12 days of Christmas for all of us. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Sounds like a fabulous machine. I do like to zigzag or overcast around my blocks. I do need to knock out that wall!! Then I could use my Bernina when I am not sewing really really fast!! Love that!! I seem to always push the peddle down hoping it will go faster. And if you love it……know I would too. Thank you for all the great information you give us. You are the best!!
These Juki Machines are very interesting. I have been keeping my eye on them since last years post. Maybe in the New Year!
Merry Christmas!
My first comment this afternoon didn’t post. I so am excited to have bought this machine today as I love to sew fast. I was the speed demon in one of your Bloomington, Indiana, classes and you used my blocks for demos.
This sounds like a great machine! Some day I will have to try one.
OMG!!! Would love to have one of these machines!
Merry Christmas! Love Juki machines.
Best Christmas ever! My husband told me to order the Juki for my Christmas gift. Oh I love him❤️
Sounds like a fabulous machine.
Merry Christmas! It sounds like awesome sewing machine!
Merry Christmas Lisa and Nick! I can’t believe the year is just about over and 2016 is right around the corner. Thank you for everything you have done for the quilting world. You and your staff are amazing and it is such a pleasure to shop at your store and online. Who knows. Someday I might get to visit your CA location.
I have been looking at the Juki sewing machine for several years. Still don’t have one.
I would love to own either one of these machines they both sound wonderful!
You make the Juki sound wonderful. It would be a wonderful present to win one! Love your blog!
I would love to own a Juki after reading your blog! Fingers crossed!
I have a juki TL98q, and I can’t let it go, it’s always been such a workhorse! But, if I had a 2010 I might consider replacing!! Working up to ordering one…
I am very interested in the Juki! It sounds like a great machine! I have a Bernina but like the idea of a bigger surface area to try machine quilting. Thanks for all your inspirations and fun activities throughout the year! Summer wool block of the month was my favorite and 12 days of Christmas was my 2nd favorite!!!!!
Your 12 days of Needful things was alot of fun. Hope you and your family enjoyed today as much as we did. Although it was 77 degrees outside and we had the a/c on, it was still a great day. Merry Christmas!
After reading your blog I would love a Juki! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
Couldn’t find my name on any list yet——maybe now. Your little man is totally luscious! Happy New Year and happy new home!!! Can hardly wait to see how it will be decorated. The Juki looks simple and easy to use!! Love it. Diane
I have recently started machine quilting following decades of being strictly a hand quilter. I am using my mother-in-laws old machine. What a dream it would be to have such a great machine!!
Wow, this sounds like a wonderful machine! Enjoy your continued family celebration! We are having 13 arriving today.
I have enjoyed your emails. I am going to make it a priority to start quilting more. The Juki would be a great machine to use. My Vicking machine is probably 35 years old. It could use a companion in my sewing area 😀 Thanks for all the info in your emails. Love your shop.
So glad to know about this long arm. I see one in my future.
Love the new features on the Juki. Sounds like you are enjoying this Christmas season! We are too!
Wow!!! Both machines look & sound wonderful.
Wow, a new machine would be awesome! I love the 12 days of needful things.
Hope you had the merriest of Christmases! Th for your 12 days…this machine looks like a rockstar just like you! Hugs!
After reading your blog I would love to own a Juki! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for your 12 days of awesome!
Wow…what a great deal!!!!
Sure do love my old model Juki, some day an upgrade would be great. Maybe when my daughter graduates and I’m out of tuition hell I can dream of a long arm.
I love my Bernina, but it’s getting old and may need major repairs in a couple of years according to my Bernina-trained, 25 year experience repairman. Makes me wonder if I should get a newer Bernina. I’ve read what you’ve said about Juki in the past and wondered if that would be a better fit. Winning it would be incredibly awesome!
I have been dreaming of this machine ever since your Needleful Things last year….I think this is the year to get one! Thank you for everything you do…you are amazing! Merry Christmas to you, your family and staff!!
Just placed my order! I have the Juki HZL-600 and love that one. So much better than my Bernina.
Thank you for the 12 needful things posts. It’s always nice to hear good recommendations for products. Merry Christmas!
Would love a Juki, but since I don’t quilt as much as I’d like, I have to be happy with my Janome 6600. I do love it too. Cows rule at my house, and that’s where all my time seems to go.
Could never afford such a machine …..just a dream
Fabulous info on these two machines. One of these day I may own one or both of them. Even if it is in my dreams…..lol… Great collection of Needful Things Lisa. Hugs filled with love to you
I keep looking at the Juki but haven’t purchased one yet. It sounds amazing! Love your 12 days of Christmas! Happy new year!
I have had the misfortune of sewing with my Bernina next to a Juki in a sewing class. Ughhh it was horrible….can’t imagine how much quilting g I could get done with a juki. Maybe this is the year I get that juki.
Someone is going to be very happy on New Years Day!
Ordered my machine yesterday! I can’t wait to get it. I also have a Juki HZL 600 which I also love. Thanks for the great offer! I thought I posted this yesterday, but didn’t see it. Sorry if I posted twice.
