New Juki TL 98 Q Makes Quilting Easier! 
The Juki TL 98Q is our top pick for the best sewing machine for the Grace Machine Quilter or the Little Gracie. The improvements over the previous Juki TL 98E are totally awesome. The new "Q" offers a larger bobbin case area that makes changing the bobbin easier than on the 98 E. One of the things I like the best is that there is now a telescoping thread guide. This new guide is especially nice when used with the Little Gracie, since there is not a thread guide built into the carriage like on the GMQ.
With age, eyes are one of the first things to be affected. Threading a needle seems like it should be a fairly easy task, well now it is. The new Juki TL 98 Q has a needle threader. No more hunting around for your glasses, or having to strain your eyes, the push lever automatic needle threader easily thread the needle so you can get quilting faster.
The thread trimmer makes it so you don't have to bring your bobbin thread up every time you need to cut your thread. This machine is a speed demon, it stitches 1500 stitches per minute. To tame that speed when quilting, check out the Kathy Quilts speed control box (click here), the box has an on/off switch and speed dial, as well as a thread trimmer button.
The Juki has a large throat area, (called the harp). Large quilts are not a problem with the Juki TL-98 Q. Kathy Quilts offers a three year labor warranty. We do all of our own support, we don't sub-contract out our warranty work, we do it all in house. We actually sew off each sewing machine before we ship it to you. That way we can ensure that it works properly when it arrives at your house. The Juki is just as good a sewing machine on a machine quilting frame as it is off the frame. Any project that needs just a straight stitch machine can be tackled by the new Juki Q.
