I bought a Juki 2010Q in August, specifically because I do my own quilting and was really needing more throat space. I love it so much! I mainly do walking foot quilting, and it's awesome at it. The harp space is over 9 inches wide by about 6.5 inches high. No more rolling, shoving and muttering! I just bunch up the quilt under there with plenty of room to spare. Fits my needs, and it was so much more reasonably priced than many of the alternatives (about $1000).
