This video was such a help to me! I am deciding which of these machines to buy. Your video was informative and concise. Thanks for mentioning some things to think about that hadn’t even occurred to me.
Happy to share
I really like comparisons; I think a lot of people appreciate reviews on different machines with the pros and cons.
Thank you. I hope people will check this out I know these are two popular machines. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! I appreciate the honesty and integrity of your reviews. It’s helpful that you review it based on your needs but also share that it may work better for others
Thank you so much for watching I take honesty very seriously. We need a safe trust worthy place for us to truly explore products.
Thanks for your honest opinions. I had almost decided on the Juki before taking it for a test run because I have heard from many bag makers that it’s the “go to” machine for that kind of sewing. Your comments have me thinking I need to try them both for myself!!!
@user-vm4fv6oy9u juki's are very popular but I love my HD9
@@MACoutureCrafting. Exactly! Every one was steering me to an M7, which is a beautiful machine but when I sat down at it, nothing felt intuitive. I don’t want to have to think about how to do everything- it was too advanced for my skill set at the time! When I sat at the BabyLock Chorus though, it felt very natural by comparison. Different people are drawn to different things. I own a Juki domestic (first machine) and it has that same foot pedal - I’ve never accidentally cut my thread and usually forget I can, so totally a non issue for me but I can see where it wouldn’t be great for everyone! Mostly though I just appreciate the reminder to form your own conclusions! I often don’t trust a lot of the comparisons from sponsored videos but yours is refreshing! Thanks again!
I've been waiting for this review. Thank you!
Did you find it informative?
Good afternoon Mrs Cox , I always love your integrity on your channel, which is why I scribe. I love your review and during my retirement or semi retirement 😂 I started working in a craft store and most crafters have at least 4 machines
Thank you so much for watching. I think I will have at least that many when I'm done.
A Huge Thank YOU!, I may still be leaning toward the JUKI but it is nice to see how a real person uses each of these machines.
It's my pleasure. I completely understand I love my machine I hope you love yours when you get it.
Great review and I love your sense of humor!
Thanks for watching
I thought your comparison was interesting. Sewing Machines are kinda like power tools. Each one does something different. Personally, I have both the Juki TL18 and the Janome HD9 and I love them both for different uses. If the house caught on fire and I could only grab one machine, I would probably die from smoke inhalation trying to decide which one to grab. But then again, everyone has different needs in a machine. I use my straight stitch machines for bag making and use Tex 70 in the Juki and Tex 90 in the HD9. Only the Janome can handle Tex 90 weight thread as it is really thick. Tex thread is for more industrial type machines, not domestic. I have other machines I use for regular thread. I'm glad you like your HD9 and sorry you didn't like the TL18. Oh, the Juki does have the needle down position like the HD9. I find the presser foot height to be higher in the TL18. Yes, the HD9 does have more torque. I think it all boils down to how people use their machines as to which they like better. I think the price point on both machines to be similar, but I could be wrong. I got great prices on both my machines so I'm not a good one to ask! Different strokes for different folks! BTW, I haven't threaded my machines from scratch in years. I just cut the thread at the top, tie the new thread on and pull through. Old serger trick. You did a great video!
I love this comment. This lets me know I was right on the money. The HD9 is my preference but I think the Juki is a lovely machine. I didn't know you can make the Juki stop in the up position? That H D9 does take the thicker thread for you & you have confirmed it feels stronger to you too. I'm just tickled pink. As much as I swear by the HD9 I still have people that was the Juki in my circle. Unfortunately not many people can have both I would never want your house to burn but I sure would love to see you have to choose. Thank you so much for spending time on my channel I really appreciate this comment.
Love you videos, looking forward to shopping for new machines and your experience with the Janome brand which I already love is reassuring I’m in the right direction. Looking forward to more info from you :)
thanks so much for commenting and you are going to make a great purchase for sure.
Great video! Thanks for posting it.
Hi, I hope you had a delightful day. I spent the day in my sewing room on virtual sew dates. I just want you to know how much I have been enjoying watching your channel while I hand quilt! I wish you a wonderful week ahead! Than you for posting this video.
I'm so thankful to have you on this journey with me. Thanks for always watching. I'll have some more for you next week.
Thank you so much for this comparison video. It was super helpful to me
I'm so glad you found this helpful.
This is what I wanna hear! I am planning to buy juki and janome! Thank you for this video.
Nice. You can't go wrong with either.
Hi! Greetings from the Inland Empire 🌞 Thank you so much for taking the time and care to share your thoughts with us about these two machines. Great review! 👍
Thanks for commenting and watching
Thank you for the great review! I have been comparing the BL Accomplish with the Juki 18Q, but I will look at the HD9. I really want a machine with strong piercing power. Again, Thanks, I’ll be watching. Ps, hats off to Juki for sending you the machine, they make great machines with reasonable prices. 🤗
Thanks for watching. I really do love my HD9 it is incredibly strong.
Thank you for your review. Appreciate your transperant. I just recently purchased the Juki (even after watching your last video) I agree with two of the cons, it would be nice to have more lighting, in my case was not not an issue as it have lighting right over my sewing area and it would have been nice to have received a box to organize my feet. I also own an Elna Excellence 720Pro (Part of the janome family) and i loved my acessory box. Once of the reasons i purchased the Juki was because my Elna was having issues seweing over mulitple layers. One of the issues i have had with the Elna is the needle threader does not work. I dont know if its the same style as the HD9 but mine is definetly an issue. I have had my Juki for 2 weeks and i LOVE IT for what i sew. I enjoy your channel and keep up the honest reviews.
Thank you for sharing and joining in the conversation. I'm glad to know I wasn't wrong about the lighting. Enjoy that Juki!
I would love to see you and sew Becca do a live sew together. You both have such great spirits.
I would love to but we have never met unfortunately.
Great honest review. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for the comparisons 🥰
No problem I hope it helps
I own an HD9 and was considering adding the Juki TL18 for use at classes and retreats. I haven’t used the Juki but your review has now made me rethink my options. I love my HD9 and it sounds like I would be disappointed in the Juki, thank you.
I love and prefer my HD9 and I bought a second for classes and retreats. Although the Juki is a fan favorite it's not for me
I also was looking at the Juki TL-18QVP and the HD9. because I already have the Juki DX7 I was steering toward the Juki but after watching your video im bow looking at the Janome. Thank you!! New subscriber here!!
I love my Janome so much I bought a second one
Love your honesty, I have a Juki TL 18 QVP
Nice. I bet you will love it.
Wonderful demo You are Good Girl …and I fully APPRECIATE YOUR HONEST option …Love REAL PEOPLE AND WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCE IS WILTH actual use …!!!
Thanks so much for watching
Thank you for your honest review.
My pleasure! I hope it was helpful
I have to agree with you on the back pedal thread cutter. I have (too many machines) a Baby Lock Crescendo, Janome HD9, and. Bernina 770. The Baby Lock has a separate pedal you can program, so no mistakes on accidental thread cutting. The HD9 is no nonsense. I love my Bernina, but I can’t tell you the number of times I have accidentally back pedaled and cut my thread while in the middle of appliqué or machine quilting. It makes me crazy! I end up turning the back pedal thread cutter off.
I enjoyed your review!
Thank you so much for commenting I'm glad it's not just me.
Loved your honest review of the two machines. I just put a HD9 on layaway at my local quilt shop. I feel better about the purchase now. I also have the Janome m7. Just learning to use it. Do you have any M7 tutorials I can watch?.Thank you and keep these tutorials coming!
Thank you so much for hanging with me. I don't have any M7 content yet, I wanted to use it for a while b4 I talked about it. They have a new one that I want to see before I talk about mine. Stay tuned I'll have more machine content coming
Enjoy your honest review & that cons may be pros for others & vice versa! I just got this Juki model a couple weeks ago & love it as a mid point between my industrial post bed machine (leather goods) & many domestics (vintage 1957 Necchi Super Nova my Mom got new, and 1952 & 1924 Singers that I got running again, and a Bernina 450 I bought new 13 years ago to replace a Baby Lock I bought new in '89). But I wanted a flat bed straight stitch for lined light weight leather bags and super good straight stitch for any material. The '52 Singer is great on garments for quality stitch, but low power... And features on the Juki, wow, save a lot of time. My industrial machine is heel back for the thread cutter, like the Juki, so used to that. But I still sometimes have an oops, but back stitch & resume.... But I do find it a little annoying that its body is cast aluminum, so you can use magnets to keep things handy! But it's nice that I can move it, unlike my industrial 😂.
I love that your machine meets your needs. Juki's are so popular and I think its awesome how passionate people are about them.
I own the Juki Haruka, I agree with you about the lighting, and would love the bigger bobbin 😍 too.
The price point for the two machines are a bit different, the HD 9 being more $. The Juki does have a needle up/down function, and the extra tension (micro lifter) near the bobbin winder may not be what you thought it was. I think for the price class it is an excellent machine. Like you I make quilts and bags and love my machine, and all the extra feet that came with it, lol, still keep them in the plastic bag tho 😄 I haven't had to purchase any extra feet. No I am not a paid promoter, just wanted to clarify. I do have more than 1 machine tho none used as much.
I am a fan and one of your 5 subscribers 😜! I also think it's great to have your honest opinions.
Thanks so much for joining in the colors I'm so happy to have you here with me. I think the Juki is a great machine but the HD9 is absolutely for me. With the up down function the HD9 can stop in the up position I don't think the Juki had that option. And my understanding isthe micro lifter is to raise the foot with the needle down so you can turn your fabric when necessary. I love that you love your machine and that you have several machines it sounds like you are over there being awesome!
@@MACoutureCrafting In a Juki TL-2010Q girl, but I appreciate your review & comparison of the Haruka & the HD9. The microlifter increases the space under the presser foot to allow extra room to accomodate bulky seams (e.g, bag making).
I have the HD9 and I love it. But I'm a garment sewer, so I don't use quilting features. The knee-lift is so great that when i use my machine without it, my knee automatically tries to use the knee lift. I love that the space between the reverse and the thread cutter is *perfect*. I also got a cabinet to put the machine in, so it doesn't move and I have a larger space to use.
I'm glad to hear from someone who is not a quilter. I need to try the knee lift
Thank you soooo much!! I’m wanting a machine that I can take to retreats that I can do bag making without problems sewing through multiple layers. ❤
Nice comparison, and nice to hear you say “nice machine, but not for me. “. I have the tl2200. Lighting is dismal, but I love the pedal with the industrial style kick back thread trimmer. The automatic threading works like a charm, and I find the handle balanced.
Thanks for watching I'm such a stickler for lighting I love that you love the pedal I'm very passionate about pedals.
I agree I love my Haruka. Great tension adjustment, i love love the foot pedal cutting, the handle is in the right spot to balance the machine when you pick it up. The slightly higher throat space accommodates a roll of quilt better as well. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Thanks for the comparison. The lighting on the TL18 is indeed dim. I have not had a problem with cutting thread. My Bernina has a heel back function, so I have several decades of muscle memory to NOT put pressure on the back--I also operate my pedal with my left foot to be unencumbered with the knee lift operation. Worth noting that there is a foot pedal for the TL that is similar to what is on the HZL models. (As I wrote it, I tested my Kirei foot, and it works with the TL and does the thread cut with the right pedal.).
Good to know. Thank you for sharing
I have the same issue with my nails on the juki. lol 💅 new sub!!
A gal after my own ❤️
Thanks for the comparison video. I'm still wanting the juki over the HD 9 but I appreciate the differences listed since I haven't found any places near where I am that sell both.
Thanks for commenting you are on good company juki's are lovely machines. I hope you get your Juki soon.
I researched high and low and I chose Juki over all the others. I could have bought any of them.
One thing that will prevent me from buying Janome is what the name Janome means. It means “the eye of the snake”. Juki in Japanese, is a name that means “joy rejoice happiness pleasure”. I have three Juki’s now. A serger the TL 18 straight, and a multifunction musty stitch Juki.
Your complaints are not petty. I would probably feel the same way about most of your dislikes. Especially the pedal. Also, I have the M bobbin in my longarm and love it. That is a great feature. Thank you so much for the time you spent making this comparison. It has been very helpful for me. The one thing I am having a hard time finding out about the HD9 is what needle does it take. Does it have the flat side. I dislike having to put a round needle in and trying to get it in the perfect direction. Thanks again.
thank you so much for this comment. I use Organ needles for fast machines which came with my machine and yes it does have a flat side.
Thanks for the comparisons. I have the Janome MC 8200QCP that I use for quilting, but I'm looking into a straight stitch machine to make some bags and I'm tired of my fabric getting sucked down into the machine, but I love the throat space. I want the Juki, but my local shop doesn't carry them and doesn't recommend them. They also told me that the Janome is all metal, so that maybe why it's heavier. I think I will end up with a Janome, even if everybody loves the Juki. I wasn't sure about that foot pedal.
I love my Janome and although Juki is super popular there are plenty Janome lovers too.
I also have the MC 8200 QCP and I have just bought the HD9. I absolutely love it
Thanks for the info.
I'm happy to share
Good review...l'm a Janome gal...on my 3rd one
I guess I'm technically on my 3rd too. Yay us.
Thanks for the comparison! Where did you get your Martelli machine mats?
I got them at a convention
Thank You, I'm in the market searching for heavy duty machine.
Before watching your video, I was leaning toward HD9, Now I kind of know what I want.
But the price point, I'm a little hesitant. I'm a beginner, and I'm not sure I need an expensive machine.
I do have 1 Brother, 1 Juki - just average home sewing machines.
I live in Irvine CA; I'm thinking about visiting the store which you mentioned in previous show
when you compared Juki vs HD 9.
Thanks.
Oh yeah you can't go wrong with either store or machine. These machines will last you a life time and remember do not pay sticker prices. If you like to sew a straight stitch will add nicely to the machines you already have.
@@MACoutureCrafting Thank You for your reply. I spoke the lady @ the store already.
They are waiting for next shipments.
By the way, How long this machine has been around?
@@tinalee5559 Robin is great. If you can't wait for the shipment you can try Sew Yeah too. They can ship to you.
Sew Yeah Quilting is in Las Vegas Nevada
I have the hd9 and love it
Check out my latest short video I might have just done a thing!
I watched your video on both machines and I have a few questions on the HD 9 janome can you turn off the thread cutting mechanism? Also You mentioned that the HD 9 had a bigger throat space. But you did not say the height. Or length of the throat space. I'm looking for a straight stitch machine either juki or janome. But would be interested in mostly the height of the throat space for quilting. Along with the throat space from the needle to the right of the machine.And the tension dial on the HD9 is it difficult to set? If you could answer these questions I sure would appreciate it Thank you for the video.
I thanks for watching the video. The dial is easy to set in my opinion. There are clicks between the whole numbers. And you cannot turn off the thread cutter but it does not have to be used. I push a button to engage it. I googled the dimensions and it says 12.25 x 7. Hope this helps.
Hi from a fellow Sew yeah quilting club member 😀😀😂 I did some research and shopping around like you would mentioned in I think this video and came across a local dealer that is selling though Juki TL 18 q.v. P brand new for $1399. And they also have three of those machines that were used for I believe one quilting retreat and they were cleaned and put back in the box and they are selling those for let’s just say $1200 even.
The features that you did not like I think I’m OK with but I am going to sit down and try it out before I buy it and I have to go on Tuesday because the Labor Day sale ends. That’s like a $500 saving if I bought the new one.
My local dealer in my city sells the Janome HD nine but he doesn’t have one in the store and he expects me to pay for it even though I haven’t had a chance to practice on it. And I kind of didn’t really like his attitude. So I will have to drive into a sketchy part of town but if I go during the daytime I will be fine and I don’t have to pay sales tax if I go to Portland
The local guy was trying to tell me that he would service the machine for two years probably just once a year and unlimited classes on how to use the machine. Well he doesn’t really sell straight stitch machines and he doesn’t have this one in stock so how the heck is he supposed to show me how to use the machine? I think I’d be able to show him more after all the videos I have watched.
So we shall see how it goes on Tuesday. Dealer in Portland also sells Janome but they don’t have one on the floor and they said that I could purchase the Janome and if I did not like it I could exchange it within 90 days for something else. So I might have to watch your video again for your observations.
I do not stand up when I sew so the footpedal shouldn’t be a problem plus I will put that rubber guard on so I don’t use the cutter. And one feature that I really like about the Juki’s is the little door on the bottom you didn’t show that in your video. You just open it and you have better access to clean out the bobbin area. So that really appeals to me because the more I can clean it the less I have to worry about taking it in for service
Wow you really did your research I hope you get the perfect machine for you.
@@MACoutureCrafting I did go to the local dealer across the river and I was able to pick up the Juki TL 18 QVP and it was what they call an open box and they said it was used for one quilting retreat. Anyway I’m very happy with it haven’t had a chance to do much sewing I’m in the process of taking care of this black cat that wandered into my backyard. But now I have them in the house in the spare room so I can hopefully concentrate on playing with my machine.
I ended up getting it for $1195 and no tax yahoo!
With all of these machines the knee lifter needs to be moved over it’s almost right in direct line with your foot I think if it was just a little bit over that would be perfect
I did try to do some quilting on one layer of cotton two layers of Insel bright and one layer of cotton batting and it did not do a good. Then I tried the Janome 1600 end it did a better job for quilting so we’ll see how it goes
@@dcwatashi keep us posted. It takes a while to get used to your machine.
Is there an extension table for the hd9? I need to use the tek90 thread so i really appreciate this comparison.
@hollyhall1948 yea there is a table. It came free with the black but it's extra with the one you see in this video
Thanks so much for the comparison. Where do you set your tension on the HD9 for MonoPoly and do you do anything differently when you thread the machine with the three hole thread guide?
I haven't had to change my tension for Mono Poly & if I'm using three holes I'm probably using a bobbin case that I have set for a really thick thread.
@@MACoutureCrafting Thanks so much. When you thread the HD9 with monopoly do you go through 2 holes in the 3 thread guide or just one?
@pattij6104 I believe I just do the 1 when I use 12 wt or thicker I use the heave thread path.
I really love my HD9 but I wish it came with all the feet the junior comes with. I had to buy a walking foot and yet to do free motion uilting because I still need to buy more accessories . I have been free motion quilting on my Pfaff ambition.
I find that as much as I love my HD9 I need an additional machine
Which sewing machine is better to use in quilting free moton?
The juki can drop the feed dogs
Great video, thanks for your views.
🙋♂🙋♂
Thanks for hanging with me
Separate comment about foot pedal on the Juki, I watched another video presentation from a dealer and he mentioned that people just turn the foot sideways that way you can rest your heel on the floor and you won’t be accidentally cutting the thread
Thats a thought. Thanks for the share
I’m wonderimg if your M7 machine pedal fits the hd9? I’m getting my hd9 tomorrow but really wanted the thread cutter. Thanks for your honest review!
My M7 pedal does not fit the HD9 I was sitting here so I checked for you. Congratulation on your new purchase I think you will love it.
@@MACoutureCrafting thank you so much for checking! My Google search said yes. 😂
@@scrapbookinglife I just checked again because I trust Google but my HD 9has 3 prongs my M7 is a single prong
@@MACoutureCrafting I appreciate you!
Great video 👍👍👍
Your forgot the the speed dial
The adjustable kneelifter
A separate threatcutterpedal available which you can place it left or right to the foot pedal........
I love the HD9 I have this machine for one year and everything you sad it's 💯💯💯💯💯the truth 😂.
Only the playing with the tension it's a little tricky but I'm sure that the reason why there is no marking on the wheel ist that this metalfeather (in German is called so) I don't no the english name that) is getting over the time (years) looser so that the wouldn't be correct!?
Sorry for my school English and have a good time 🥰
Thank you so much for those additions. I keep telling people I love that machine.
@@MACoutureCrafting this machine is a beast 😈for beasty girls😜
i don't know which it is, but english, a 'feder' is a spring. So apparently there's some spring that affects the distance. Greetings from frankfurt
HD9 I love my
I love the bow
Thank you
Whew! Thought I was going to have to go out and purchase a new machine. 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol we are safe for the time being.
IMO, the HD9 looks like better quality. I just wish the foot on the HD9 would lift higher than the two heights.
You are not wrong it's a tight lift too but if you can get it under the needle it will seq through it.
I wish I had watched this before I bought the Juki. I had it for 3 months and hated it. I just sent it back to trade in for the Janome. 😮
I'm betting you will enjoy the Janome.
I wanted the juki and still do but know I am leaning more to the janome
I totally understand people love Juki's because they are lovely but my Jam is the HD9.
Greetings. I just subscribed on the basis of this review . Will you tell me how you liked the stitches for each. I am a fiend for top-stitching perfection. Juki has a box stitch innovation? Looks good on You tubers bags how about the HD 9 stitch loveliness? Thanks
I might not be the best person to tell you about the stitches. I do know that they both looked good to me. I think the HD9 is a stronger machine however people love the Juki too.
I like to see my bobbin, how do you get used to not seeing it and always worrying you will sew only to find out it didn't.
It's something I got used to. You should check out my bobbin hack I think you might like it.
@MACoutureCrafting thank you
I literally have been comparing these two machines today.
You have two very good options here.
Did you use a walking foot on both?
I did not use the waking foot on the Juki
yeah i am with you on this. Now, i'm a Singer Sista but i can see why you don't like Ms Juki. the features are not as good as Ms Janome. i like the handle on Janome better. it's bigger and better to handle than measly Juki. my Singer 4411 has a handle like Janome and it's big like that.
Singer was my first girl I will always have love for her. When I travel she is the one that comes with me
I also sew standing up but that's because I don't really have a workspace and I sew using an ironing board. Why do you sew standing up? I feel like it would be weird to sew sitting. Who knows mb it's a whole new world!!! 😅
I sew standing because this table is super high and it's all I have.
Did you have problems with the thread cutter?
on which machine? I didn't have a problem with either one.
@@MACoutureCrafting I saw a different video and they said the thread kept coming out the needle every time they used the cutter, that’s why I’m torn between the two would prefer the Janome
@@tomg7104 I don't have that issue with mine. I love my machine
@@MACoutureCrafting thank you so much very informative, great video. Will have to save some more for the HD9 💕
@@tomg7104 I liked mine so much I bought a second one to travel with
What is a martelli pad?
It's like a non stick pad. I have a video on my channel showcasing it. I love mine
I find my hd9 lighting dark, I wish the lights were brighter.
I wonder if your machine is performing at optimal level? My lights are very bright on my Janomes. They do make those sewing machine strips though.
I will look for you on the online fabric sales for Sew Yeah Quilting . What’s your screen name?
M A Couture Crafting I try to pop in whenever I can. I'm actually due for a visit to the store.
@@MACoutureCrafting oh OK so you live in Las Vegas. I would love to go to the store and hang out I’m just waiting for all this Covid crap to disappear off of the face of the earth. I would have to take a plane or a very long road trip.
Of course the benefit of the long road trip is all the fabric I could bring back
😸🤣😆👍🏻
I like their Saturday night sale because it’s way more affordable at six dollars a yard
@@dcwatashi you are not wrong Their sales are great. I don't live in Las Vegas but I need to pop over there.
@@MACoutureCrafting are you going to drive or fly? If you’re going to drive and you are probably coming up I-5 I could meet you and Carpool LOL
Actually I would have to look at a map because now that I think about it you did mention that you live in California Southern California so you would probably be coming a different way
By the way, you are quite the character and I think you are very pretty woman!
@@MACoutureCrafting ** just looked it up on the map and actually you are quite close if you live in the LA area. It’s only about a 4 Hour Dr. but heads up because there is a lot of flash flood warnings along the way
Now you have 6!
So glad to have you stay tuned I have so much more to share. Thanks for hanging with me.
I have always preferred Janome over any other machine . I have three different models
I love this comment. I now have two different ones
Janome sent me my extra pieces in a plastic bag. I wish they came in a pretty box.
Me too. All mine were sent in a box from janome.
Not fond of that Juki pedal , accidents will happen. Also the Juki's poor lighting with shadows created is a deal breaker. I do like the the drop feed on the Juki.
You get me. Some people think I'm crazy but accidents do happen especially since I stand while I sew.
I love the comparison. The Janome is just too big for me.
It's bigger and heavier and I understand.
I have the TL18 and I regret buying it. It is the worst machine I own. I have a brother pq1500sl and it’s performance is ten times better than my Tl18. Thank goodness I didn’t pay the $1500 on it that I see some online stores have them for. I wanted the HD9 but couldn’t find anyone who would ship it to me.
I'm glad that you have your brother machine. I still love my HD9. Thanks for sharing
Omg! You dont like it because of your nails??? Really? You say you hate it but then you are praising it more then the hd9. What the heck is that about?
There's a little more to it than that, It's a lovely machine but it's not for me and my reasons are not for everyone.Yes my nails can sometimes deter me from liking something however there were several other reasons I chose the HD9 over the Juki which I spoke about in this video.
aliexpress is a great place to get cheap feet for these high-shank machine. Just saying.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing
