I love my Pfaff machines, with their great feeding system. I have been seeing rave reviews about the Juki 2010 machine. I am thinking about a machine with thread cutter, needle up/down and ability to sew without the foot pedal.
I have no Juki dealer near me, and would love to hear how it does piecing for quilting vs. the Pfaff. All of the new machines have so many computer interfaces and then issues with them. Would love a simple machine with all the bells and whistles.
