    See price on AmazonSee it on Amazon

Juki is best known for industrial machines, and its home lineup borrows from them. The range splits into two families. The HZL machines are computerized zigzag machines, several of them with Juki's box feed, which the listings describe as moving the feed dog in a box motion for steadier seams. The TL machines are straight-stitch-only, semi-industrial machines built for speed and piecing, with knee lifters and, on the TL-2010Q, an automatic thread trimmer. The right Juki depends on whether you need decorative and buttonhole stitches or a fast, accurate straight stitch for quilting. This guide compares seven Juki models on stitch type, feed system, thread trimming and presser foot lifting, using only the facts each Amazon listing states. Where a listing is short, the table says Not stated and you should check the listing or Juki's spec sheet.
