Congratulations on your new machine, I bought my Juki TL98E around 15 years ago to use on my Little Gracie quilting frame, and she still runs like a dream, never had a moments trouble with her and her stitches are always beautiful, no tension problems ever. I did think of selling her after I bought a Qnique 15Pro to put on my frame a few years ago but I just can't part with her for so many reasons, so I set her up in the basement and use her to put my bindings on and quilt smaller projects.
I hope you get over your UTI soon, definitely not fun havning to take the medication for it, it sure didn't agree with me last time I had to take it.

I have the Juki TL98E, it is very old. Just now having trouble with it. The thread cutter caused a big repair to the machine, damaged the hook. Repair guy not much help because he is a 'tech' not much of a repair. I still use it, just had to disconnect the thread cutter. I am getting more use and fun out if it now because I don't care what happens to it. I keep it oiled and clean and will continue to free motion quilt until it bites the dust.

I bought a Juki 5500N in April- an industrial straight stitch that Donna Jordan from Jordan fabrics uses. I just love it. I use it for all my long seams, borders, binding, etc. I still use my Singer 301 for small piecing. I think the Jukis are the best modern machine build wise. I love the insides and how durable they are. I am not a fancy stitch, computer loaded machine person. You will enjoy it.
I take D-Mannose supplements that my urologist recommended. It is a sticky sugar (not absorbed) that the bacteria sticks to and leaves your system. The bacteria have leggy structures that hang onto your insides and are hard to get rid of. The D-Mannose provides a good exit for them. I buy it on Amazon. Works for my 90 yr old mom also.
