Machine type
Fast straight stitchers that plug into a household outlet and sit on a table like any home machine. JUKI's TL-2010Q and TL-2200QVP Mini and Brother's PQ1500SL sew up to 1,500 stitches a minute and trim the thread automatically. They're household machines, not industrials, and they take household flat-shank needles. Their manuals call for regular oiling, daily on the JUKIs if you sew every day, and their own bobbin cases and feet matter.
