Juki TL-2010Q |
Then, earlier this week, I was at the local quilt shop, watching the owner happily sewing a diaper bag, which had many layers of thick fabrics to negotiate. Her machine just flew right through them like they were butter. This brought back fond memories of the years I sewed on an industrial machine, which had the ability to crank out thousands of stitches per minute and buzz through multiple layers of thick fabrics without even skipping a stitch. I found my heart falling seriously in love with Kim's machine and spent one feverish night dreaming about it.
After researching the next morning, low and behold I found the newer version of her machine for a seriously marked down price. Yay!!! Guess who now lives with me? Here she is. I love her madly. I can free motion quilt at high speeds now. Oh...and allow me to share with you that the one provision I had to agree to with my DH before buying it was that I promised not to sew through my finger.
I can live with that.

oh, I promise you'll love it! I bought the previous model with a smaller table last year and it is truly a great machine. sews through anything and fast. the one downside is that it sews so fast it that everything else on the table falls off. happy sewing!
She is a beauty. Congrats on your new addition. Sometimes you just have to splurge on yourself.
Thanks Brenda, good to hear from another owner. I laughed when I read about things falling off the table...a friend was staying downstairs under where I sew and was commenting on the difference between hearing the Juki compared to the little Janome. I am just flying through meandering on the big quilt I'm doing now; it would have taken me so much longer on my little Janome, I may even get time to do some more quilting before I return to New Mexico in December. Yay!!
Kim: I couldn't agree with you more! :0)
How exciting! I saw one of these the other day at a craft store and was memorized with it. Happy quilting!
