Juki 2010Q Owners - Opinions Please!
Hi all,
I am hoping some of you Juki 2010Q owners can answer a question for me...
I currently have a Juki TL98Q, and am thinking of upgrading to a 2010 to get the speed control slider. My thought is that if I can limit the speed, I would be able to maintain a more consistent slower speed than I can now. I find that the food control on the TL98Q is so sensitive that even an imperceptible change in pressure on the foot control can change the stitching speed when I am cruising along at a medium-slow pace doing really small motif FMQ stitching. It is my hope that by limiting the speed, I would be able to "floor it" and not have those unwanted changes in stitch speed that I get now, especially when I've been quilting for awhile and start to get fatigued. I know I must be changing how I am pressing on the control ever so slightly and it is causing the variations I'd rather avoid.
So...what do you all think? Do you use the speed control? Does it lessen the "sensitivity" of the foot control?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

I absolutely LOVE mine!!!
I usually have to slow it down for FMQ. Most of the time I have it set half way down. I would think you would be happier with the ability to adjust it even lower than that for the kind of quilting you do. And you do some gorgeous quilting!

I definitely use the speed control!! I set it about half way between the slowest speed and the middle--so about 1/4 way up and find that a perfect speed for me. I just "floor" the pressure foot and can totally concentrate on what I am stitching. It is such a powerful machine I would really have a problem regulating the speed without it!
