Save for Juki F-600, or Buy Brother PC420 Today?
M.S. Intermediate Member since 3/6/09 Posts: 1138	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/20/13 12:04 PM Does anyone own both of these machines? There are a few things better about the Juki: 1. Adjustable cutting width on the buttonholes 2. Knobs to adjust stitch length and width But $375 for the Brother PC420PRW......it's so tempting to try one! Has anyone sewn on both machines? Can you give me a comparison? ------ Pfaff 138-6 Brother PQ1500S Necchi 4795 US Blindstitch 718-9 Kenmore 16644 Janome CoverPro 1000 Singer 201-2

The Juki sounds better. Less clunk clunk clunk sounds. I wish I had a Juki dealer nearby! But if anyone wants a Brother, Amazon has it for $375 + free shipping. ------ Pfaff 138-6 Brother PQ1500S Necchi 4795 US Blindstitch 718-9 Kenmore 16644 Janome CoverPro 1000 Singer 201-2

Date: 3/20/13 3:19 PM If you are interested in the Juki F-600, check with any Sew & Vac places in your area. I know one of ours sells the Juki F-600. I don't have one, but have considered it. Also, I believe AllBrands online has them. Happy hunting! ------ AngieRose http://timberhillthreads.blogspot.com New!

Date: 3/20/13 5:18 PM I haven't sewn on the Juki, but I did own the Brother PC420 for 3 miserable years. I might as well have thrown $499 out the window for all the good that machine did me. ------ Viking Opal 650 Singer Stylist II Singer 14sh654 Brother SE 270D Brother HE1

I read a lot of reviews on this machine and am wondering about it myself. I even found this last night and am seriously considering it but say what you want I just don't like its look. It has almost everything you could want in a machine except pivot feature and low bobbin indicator and, well, its looks.

I agree, it could use some tweaking in the appearance department. I like the knobs, though.

Date: 3/20/13 7:02 PM Tammy.. believe me.. the looks will grow on you.. I now even enjoy looking at it.. Everyone has that same first reaction to the way it looks.. but if you notice.. anyone that has had their machine for a while never mentions it now.. REALLY.. Its different .. but in a handsome way..
