I think it's official - I am in love with this Juki machine! I feel slightly unfaithful to my Husqvarna Viking Sapphire, but I think I have enough room in my heart (and sewing room) for both of the machines. They both have their strengths, so I have a feeling I'll be using both pretty often.
My Juki, however, is in need of a cover, both to make it pretty and to keep it relatively dust-free. I've sketched out a couple of ideas, and now I'm working on picking out some fabrics, but I'm having a really tough time deciding. Maybe you could help a girl out. Tell me which one of these fabric stacks below is your favorite. I'm all ears (or eyes, as the case may be!)!
Stack #1:
Collections from top to bottom: Luxe in Bloom, Luxe in Bloom, Salt Water, Constellations, Salt Water, Architextures
Stack #2:
Collections from top to bottom: Architextures, Simpatico, Simpatico, Simpatico
Stack #3:
Collections from top to bottom: Madrona Road, Type, Mama Said Sew, Type
Find these collections in stock at:
Architextures - Intrepid Thread, Pink Castle Fabrics, and Stash Modern Fabrics
Constellations - I Don't Do Dishes, Intrepid Thread, Pink Castle Fabrics, and Stash Modern Fabrics
Luxe in Bloom - Intrepid Thread and Stash Modern Fabrics
Madrona Road - Intrepid Thread, I Don't Do Dishes, Pink Castle Fabrics, and Stash Modern Fabrics
Mama Said Sew - Intrepid Thread, Pink Castle Fabrics and Stash Modern Fabrics
Salt Water - I Don't Do Dishes, Pink Castle Fabrics, and Stash Modern Fabrics
Simpatico - Stash Modern Fabrics
Type - I Don't Do Dishes, Intrepid Thread, and Pink Castle Fabrics
And I'm planning to pair whatever I pick with some super gorgeous yarn-dyed Essex linen in either black or flax. You can find yarn-dyed Essex linen at Intrepid Thread, Pink Castle Fabrics, and Stash Modern Fabrics. So, what do you think? Which combination is your favorite??? I just can't decide!!!

I like the typewriter fabric. Its kind of related to a sewing machine don't you think? Of course they are all pretty!
Stack #3 FTW!
I say close your eyes and pick a stach...you cant go wrong with any of them :)
I'm drawn to #1 for no apparent reason. They all are lovely.
Number 1 for me!
I like #1. The rich colors, movement in the prints, and complementary contrast would inspire me to take the cover off the machine and try something new!
I like no.1...maybe it's the corally colors that I love...
Stack 1 for sure. The other two are nice, but just don't make a statement like #1.
#1 for sure!!
#1 all the way
I'm torn between 1 and 3... I love them both!
I like #3 right now :)
Likin' number 3...simple, great contrast :-)
Looks like I'm in the majority, love #1!
for this project, I like #2 with the flax linen....guess I'm in the minority! Any will be fantastic and inviting!
Love #2 - am I the only one?
Stack 3 but Stack 1 is a close second!
Love #1 !! But they are all beautiful - you have a real flair for putting fabrics together.
What colour is your sewing room? I like #1.
Love the top one!! Congrats on the new machine!!
Hard choice!! I love stacks 2 and 3.
I like stack #1 the best. Stack #2 is great too. :)
I love #3! I may have to get my hands on some of those fabrics and make my own cover!
Tough decision!
All of the stacks are great, but I'd go with Stack#2 because it is so bright. Nice energy for your new machine!

I like number one-- I think it'll stay fresh all year long. I have a Husky Sapphire too......but your Juki sounds nice!
I love the top one. So rich and vibrant.
I LOVE #2! I think I'm in the minority, but I think it's gorgeous!
I would chose #1, but they are all lovely, so you can't do anything wrong :)
I like #1.
They are all nice, but I love #1 best. It just pops!!!
The first one - love it to bits!
ok really they are all gorgeous!! I'm currently liking number 2.
When I made mine I used different fabrics on each side and also a lining so essentially it is reversible and I can change it depending on my mood, which I love and stops me getting bored of it!

stack 2 stack 2 stack 2!!
Ooh. This is hard, but I love stack #3!!!!! Mary
I'm currently having a love affair with navy, so I choose #1! Can't wait to see what you do!
Stack #1 for sure! I just bought fabric yesterday in the same hues of peachy-coral and deep blues - love :)
I love stack #1 - digging those navys and corals!
big fan of all of them but I like #2 best, followed closely by #3.
#1, need my machine dimensions? :P
I am loving #3 hands down! Beautiful!
#1 for sure!
#3!!
I have to go with #1...I've had Constellations on the brain!
I love all the fabrics, but combination #1 for me :o)
Definitely stack 2!
Either one or three . They are both pretty for different reasons.
I can see why you are having trouble deciding, I love them all...but I think#2 is my favourite. Good luck deciding!
stack number one has my heart. er, vote.
The first group of course! It's Florida! Oranges, water. You can't choose anything but...
Love love love stack #1. It's got such a unique combo of fabrics that look great together.
i really do like them all...but if i were picking for myself, i would pick #1. i can't wait to see what you make! :)
Definitely #1! I'm not biased at all in that I'm using many of the same fabrics on a quilt myself... :)
Oh gosh, just close your eyes twirl around and pick one, they are all beautiful.
#1 (but all are pretty!)
Stack #1! They are all lovely though. I like the rich colors of the first best:)
I'm drawn to the peacefulness of stack #2. Sure wish all this fabric was in my stash.
I like them all too but if I had to pick a favourite I would go for number three.
I may be too late but my choice is number three! It has just the right amount of whimsy and function for a sewing room.
LOVE #2.....In fact, I am heading to PinkCastle to get some!!!
Stack #2
I'm torn between fabric stacks #1 & #3....But I think I would prefer #1.... conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
I'm totally a fan of words on fabric, so my vote will go to stack #2, but they are all beautiful!
I like all of them but for me it is number one. I really like the bright and dark contrast.
I like stack #2 for your sewing machine, and then I think you should make one from stack #3 for MY sewing machine....I'm a work-at-home typist/editor/proofreader extraodinaire! Plus, my sewing room is pink!
Go with stack number two - it will hide lint and threads much better than dark colors.
I vote for #3.
cannot decide between stack 1 and 2.
I like stack #1. I don't know the color of your sewing room, but I would go with the one that looks best in your room. Nancy: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
Stack No.1 is very nice -- dark blue and melons - my favorite !}
I'd go for number 3 but they are all lovely.
I thought I'd decided on number one with those gorgeous colors but then you threw in Essex in black which would be pretty stunning with that Type fabric in #3. I think it's the contrast in values which seem so great in those two bundles. But really all of that fabric is so beautiful.
I like stack #2. I really like my Viking Sapphire 870Q. I know the strengths and weaknesses of that machine. What is it that has you in love with the Juki?
