Sewing machine for quilting

[Diane L.]

Please advise me the model of sewing machine suitable for sewing and for quilts. According to reviews of knowledgeable people, I consider brother innovate 400/600 or 1000 (but this is already expensive). However, now I dream of JUKI TL-2000Qi https://sewingtopgear.com/sewing-machine-for-quilting/, having heard plenty of stories from colleagues. Have you any experience of using these models?

Unfortunately I haven't worked with Brother machines you've mentioned (or maybe you've misspelled their serial numbers, since I can't find anything?). But as for a Juki, I'd recommend you to have a look at Juki TL-2010Q. I have both of them, and the biggest difference in the two is that the 2010 has a slider speed control on the front. It also has a "pre-tensioner" disc that the thread goes through before it goes into the tension discs when threading. Everything else is the same. If you haven't already found this site, you can compare the features and specifications of the Juki 2000 and the 2010 on Juki's website. They have pdf brochures, lists of specs.
In my opinion, speed control is worth the extra cost.
But keep in mind, that it would be a single purpose quilting machine, since it have only a straight stitch.
