I love this machine. I own a Janome, a Viking and 2 Berninas that are computerized machines. I just thought they were the best until I got my Juki TL98Q. I love the automatic thread cutter on the foot control and the knee lift. They make for a very fast piecing session when doing repetitive chain piecing. I don't have to stop and snip everything apart or trim thread ends. I also like that I don't have to hold onto the thread tails to start the next piece as you do with a regular machine. No thread "nests" on the back to deal with. It does take an "L" style bobbin so don't get them mixed up with Class 15 or 66 bobbins but you can buy large boxes of these bobbins pre-wound fairly reasonably as they are used by the larger long-arm quilting machines as well.
I will be taking this machine to any sewing retreats I attend. It is not that heavy. The only negative thing I found was the cover. Flimsy plastic useful only as a dust cover. I am going to make a quilted cover (and a matching bag to hold the accessories) since it has a built in handle. It does not fit into a standard replacement case.
The extension table is well made and is not plastic as so many are. It has a place on the bottom to store the knee lift.
I do recommend some sort of stick-on spacer to prevent the fabric from wandering under the presser foot as it can be hard to control the seam allowance at this speed. I use a Post-It pad. Placed next to the foot itself, it gives a scant 1/4" seam allowance.
The larger throat area is great for machine quilting larger projects as well as manipulating foundation pieced blocks on paper.
If you can only get a single machine for quilt making, this is it. I'm just sorry that I didn't get one when they first came out. Bells and whistles are great if you use them but if you mostly do straight stitching for piecing and quilting, this is the machine to have. Price is fantastic compared to most quality machines.
That said, the machine went out the door this morning to SC with my daughter to take to a two week class in Baltimore Ohio in a couple months. Sigh . . .
