Juki HZL-F600 Computerised Sewing Machine

This machine oozes precision. Comparing it to the other machines I've used is like comparing a Lexus to a Pinto. Describing it as "high-quality" won't even prepare you for the experience. Everything that can be automated has been automated, but it doesn't seem gimmicky at all. The essential functions (like stitch length, width, and pattern) remain easy to understand and use. If you completely ignore all the advanced, computerized functions, it is still a far superior machine to anything else I've had. Quiet, smooth, unhesitating... Sewing with it is like dining at the finest restaurant, and being waited on by a tuxedo-clad gentleman. If there is such a thing as sewing machine design etiquette, Juki should write the book on it.

It does a great job sewing. Has many, many different stitches. Instruction book is a very good one. It's easy to follow and that makes learning this machine easier. Mine came with the quilting table as well. It's large and the legs are height adjustable. It has fonts. You can also set it to remember a name for example. It does have a knee presser foot lift like a lot of machines. It does come with a hard cover and it has storage for the presser foot as well and the knee lift. Even came with a walking foot which is nice. 1/4 " foot is a real winner. Even without this foot you can set the machine for a 1/4" seam. Lots of decorative sewing designs as well. I also think this is a well built machine.

After 25 years of heavy use, I retired my beloved Pfaff. I wanted a machine just as good to replace it and, oh my, what a joy this Juki is. Besdes being fine tuned and flawless in its stitching, the knee lift and auto thread cut are amazing! You never realize how much time you spend on those tiny tasks until suddenly, you no longer do. I love the extended table for large work and, in the two weeks I've had it, I pieced together previously sewn quilt blocks (it handled 8 seam joins without any hesitation or distortion) as well as some heavy draperies. It was great to have that extra support for those. I also sewed a delicate silk dress and several cotton dresses, all without issues. I am looking forward to a long and happy relationship with this machine. Oh yeah, the ... MoreAfter 25 years of heavy use, I retired my beloved Pfaff.
