Has anyone purchased accessories for this machine other than the very few offered by Brother? Like binders, additional hemming feet, etc.? If so which type/from where? It's same model I believe as the Juki 98 and another variation... it's the straight stitch only long opening high speed machine, kind of a cross between domestic and industrial. I LOVE this machine and want to start using it more. Thanks!

The only accessory I've bought is the Juki 1/5 free motion foot. I don't see why any Juki high-shank attachments wouldn't work.

I use mine almost exclusively for sewing now, except when I need to do buttonholes, zigzag etc. I purchased the set of seam guide feet and the very narrow foot from Allbrands (scroll down the page). They are great for topstitching and I often use the narrow one for putting in zippers. Love that machine!

I think all the semi industrial machines share the feet. The Juki has many feet available and all that I purchased fit my Janome 1600P. I have a friend with the Brother PQ1500 and she also has many Juki feet.

I had the Juki and bought several items from Ed Reichart online. They had a modified 1/4 foot with guide that I liked. They were extremely helpful on the phone advising me about what accessories they had.
Other generic name items I bought from a local supplier included the magnetic seam guide, a clear free motion foot, and a rolled hemmer foot. The clear free motion foot was only $5 so I bought two and used my Dremmel to make one into an open toe foot.
Unlike my Bernina accessories, it was so nice to be able to buy reasonably priced feet for the Juki and play with them. I ended up selling my machine to a friend but still think twice about the decision. I love the way these machines sew. I just had no space in my room.

Here is the link: Ed Raichert. That took a bit of sleuthing.

Thanks for adding the link. Their website is not the easiest to navigate. Here is the page I found most helpful for accessories.
