Yep, I knew the Juki was going to Proform the best especially sewing through the 16 layers of fabric. I'm a furniture maker and I use my Juki DDL H industrial sewing machine for the upholstery work on my sofa sectional builds. Juki is a favorite brand among upholsters, and I defiantly see why. Great video comparison.

[@margarettyree983]

I have the Juki TL-18 QVP and I absolutely love it! I also have many other machines including Viking, Bernina, Singer Featherweight, etc. She looks a bit industrial but I like it

[@sshirleyks]

I have a Juki and turn my foot pedal around backwards to avoid accidentally cutting thread. I LOVE my Juki!

[@wayfarinstranger2444]

I do that too! Almost paid 20 bucks for a foot pedal insert, but thought, nah, I'd rather spend that on fabric!!!😅

[@mjp5129]

My husband put a piece of wood in the bottom of mine. No more accidentally cutting thread. That wasn’t a Good idea by the manufacturer

[@dottiemathews6853]

Well to tell you the truth, Juki never was a "cute looking" sewing machine. She comes in to work and work HARD! LOL!

[@BlueprintDIY]

Yesss, and she works darn hard!

Thank you for this video! I would like to know if there is a semi industrial JUKI or Janome, that makes not only straight stitches, but zig zag , buttonholes, elastic, and aplique stitches… I want a strong machine Thank you

[@nakshipolly5666]

Thanks for your nice response. I understand that you are really very talented in this subject, please give me some advice I don't need a sewing machine design. I will sew vine leaf flowers and round designs using quilting free mutton. So for me should buy any sewing machine at low price

[@gloriaa3652]

Good assessments. As a Juki owner I was cheering at the end. I love my TL2010Q model. But the thread does slip out after using the thread cutter. I will try your solution. And this model is about a grand, with tray and extras.

[@kimsaidit5732]

I have the Janome and absolutely love it. Thank you for the demo❤

[@freedumtrayn]

Thanks for trying them out for us! I appreciated your demonstration 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️

[@miric6224]

In the 1970s I bought a Viking sewing machine, with cams, that the salesperson sewed down a wooden yardstick to demo the power. That was impressive: about a 1/3” thick, wood. He went a long way down the length of the yrdstick. Those days the machines weren’t made in the far East. Ie: My Elna Super was made in Switzerland. Now I just bought a Juki and have been pleased with my fancy Janome and “big bang for your buck”: brother. Back to the past. I never sewed down a yardstick and have no need to sew through ten feet of leather, (i’d get a machine made for leather and the proper foot attachment). Nice to see you enjoying the machines! You seem to enjoy heavy duty sewing, you might want to try leather working: making small items for people, purses, glass cases, etc. and doing bridal and/or saddlework. Just suggestions from a grandma.

[@alysonsneyd3401]

The Haruka has a piece that comes with the machine that will stop the thread cutting feature. Works great. I agree that the knee lift is in an odd place.

[@susanbattey478]

I noticed that you had the thread on the bobbin winding spool when you were sewing on the HD9 maybe that’s why you were having issues with the thread pulling out etc. It shows the way you should thread on the top. You also threaded through the extra tension(heavier thread guide) when you threaded with regular sewing thread when you sewed on lightweight material. I have never had those problems when threading correctly. Please try those settings and see if you notice a big difference.

[@TGBTGAlways]

I also own the HD9 and I NEVER have problems with the thread cutting too short 🥰 I ❤❤❤ my HD9 it’s my big baby 💝

[@honestly7393]

Thank you for pointing this out. I'm trying to figure out what sewing machine I want to add to my use of my Bernina that will tackle more layers especially for upcycling.👍

I have had the Juki QVP since it came out and it is very nice. It comes with a lot of feet too! It’s the best in my opinion and does Freemotion quilting very good if I don’t want to get out my longarm or long arms not free.

Thank you, I bought the Juki, I agree that would annoy me too. Even though I think the Janome is little more powerful, it also cost more. Girl you are AWESOME love what you do, keep up the good work! Blessings

I bought the Juki TL 2010q for my birthday earlier this year and I love it. Regarding the foot pedal thread cutter feature, you can always purchase the stopper for $15 if you're worried about mistakenly cutting the thread. Out of the 3, I would go for the Juki TL-18QVP. I wish I had purchased my Juki a couple of years ago. The Juki TL family of machines is wonderful. Not trying to give anyone a plug but Juki Junkies here on KZbin helped me make my final decision and they have great tutorials on how to use and care for your machine. They also have a Janome Junkies channel. Great machine reviews as usual. 😊

[@BlueprintDIY]

Thanks so much!! I feel extremely fortunate to be testing the QVP as my first Juki, but I’ve heard a lot of great things about all their machines.

[@Kitchguy]

Loved your review thank you

[@sherried79]

I actually really enjoy sewing by hand. I am nervous about using a machine. I bought an old one that only has one stitch but I didn't realize that at the time. It took me several weeks to figure it out and then I was just disappointed it only has the zigzag stitch. So, I've not used it since. I recently bought this smaller but new Sunbeam for 10 bucks but I'm waiting on the foot pedal to arrive. It has 12 stitches so I'm excited to use it, I think. 😂 Oh my goodness your channel is so addicting but I must get my behind to work! I look forward to watching more!

[@lflines]

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, the Juki TL-18QVP is the only machine with the micro lifter to go over thicker fabric. I picked the Juki after testing the HD 9 and Juki at my local dealer. The Juki handled everything I threw at it and then some. Juki needs to improve their foot pedal and I'll probably get an after-market pedal for mine. Other than that, love the Juki.

[@dachsiemomma1725]

I have had my Juki TL18 for nearly two years and just love it (much more than my expensive Bernina). It came with an attachment for the foot pedal that keeps me from cutting the thread.

I have seen some of your Fabricator videos and really enjoyed this comparison video. I would have bought the Fabricator in a heartbeat if it had had a thread cutter!!!! Once you use one, you can't live without it! But then again, I travel a lot and it is NOT portable. So I have been watching and reading about the Juki TL 18qvp with more and more interest and I think your comparison has pushed me over the edge to hit the BUY button! Thank you for your very informative videos on the machines!

[@lindareda5071]

I'm so glad I found you!! I was considering exchanging my juki for the HD9, but now will not do that! I agree that the placement of the knee lift is annoying, but I have gotten used to it. THe problem I have with my Haruka is that it suddenly cuts the thread while in the middle of sewing!! Only occasionally, but it happens when I am being extra careful, like around a curve or changing thickness of the fabric, say on a wallet, where there are varying levels. Oh, I use the pedal backwards so I do not accidentally cut the thread. Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@kayhutchens5106]

Cutting the thread too short would eliminate a machine as an option for me. Being able to move from fabric types without having to adjust tension is a huge plus to me. Being able to sew through lots of layers is also huge for me. I’ve been working on a bag with multiple pockets, layers of fabric & special fabric has really been a problem for my Singer Fashionista. Looks like the Juki would be the answer for me. The knee lever concerns me but not enough to put me off. Thanks for your review. Very helpful!! 😊

I NEVER lost a thread with my Juki TL - ALso I use the pedal thread cutter with the tip of my foot while pushing the knee lift. If you're quilting, it is INDISPENSABLE You can get other Juki TL serie that is the same machine ( expect for a third thread tension dial on TL18) and cheaper ( with more or less accessories ) . Doing regular garments sewing=go lower model, do quilting = go higher ( +accessories) , do leather and bag making, =go TL 18 Best investment ever.

What are the differences between the Sailrite fabricator and the juki 18qvp you have reviewed?

[@BlueprintDIY]

For me the Sailrite works better for thick layers. There were parts of my bag making process that couldn’t fit under the foot of the Juki, but I don’t have any issues with the Sailrite. On the other hand, the Juki is more enjoyable to sew on during the regular sewing parts like sewing on the zipper and piping.

[@TerryJerry]

Are these good for beginners? How do you feel about the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960?

[@BlueprintDIY]

A beginner could learn on these great, but it only does straight stitches so if they want to learn buttonholes they’d need another machine.

[@rogerpeggywheat1630]

The Juki has a different pedal, available for purchase, that has two separate pedals in one. One for sewing, and one off to the side for cutting. I want it, but haven't bought it yet,

You must be in Portland. I grew up in NE Portland and my mom would take her sewing machine to Montavilla for maintenance after we moved there in 1962 (I was 10 years old). I used to do garment sewing but switched to making quilts years ago. I’m still making quilts and would like to get back into garment sewing but all the fabric stores that were around back in the day are gone now. And I was so sad to hear that Fabric Depot closed. I live in St. George, Utah now and we have five quilt fabric stores. A lot of quilters here! I’d love to know where you buy your fabric. I've been looking at the Juki TL18 as my next sewing machine.

Hello

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

Have your needle stop down before you push thread cutter. Your needle ends in up position and the thread isn’t too short. At least this is what I found on my Brother.

[@BlueprintDIY]

Oooh, that makes sense!

[@jcnyc55]

You didn’t mention that Juki TL18 has a micro lift adjustment on the top left. Where you can adjust how high the foot presser goes up so you can add height to to fit more material like webbing on. Also the juki tl18 comes with a rubber insert to put under to disable the cutting feature. Also go to your local dealer to check prices. They won’t give you the price over the phone but I went in wanting a TL215 because that was in my price range. The dealer sold me a TL18 for $1,200!!! I was shocked. Everywhere online said $1,600. So talk to a dealer. If I didn’t. Go to a dealer I would have got a TL215 online for $1400!!

[@jcnyc55]

Also I saw on Amazon a few weeks ago they had the TL18 selling for $1,300 for a short period. And yes my machine was brand new and the dealer gave me free bobbins and one yard of fabric for free. I was shook.
