You do a great job on these videos, David! They’re always right to the point, very informative, and I learn so much from them! Keep them coming!

[@betseykuzia8477]

Great information, love these videos!

[@JukiJunkies]

Glad you like them!

[@BridgeMD]

The foam head cleaning sticks are awesome!

[@JukiJunkies]

The best!

[@michellewaugh9388]

I love your videos! Thank you. One question: my Juki thread cutter cuts the bobbin thread short and it doesn't come through the hole. My needle thread is cut at normal length -- an inch or so. Is that normal for the bobbin thread to be cut so short it doesn't show? Keep up the good work!

[@cherylwhite654]

my TL2000qi is brand new (2 weeks old) its just one thing after another , so new thing just this morning the stitch cutter is locking up I have to hand turn the wheel to unlock it , had to remove the needle & cut thread .. what would make this happen & how do I fix it. thank you... update took the whole thing apart again and found a tiny piece of thread

[@lindsey-do-it]

Can you do a video on taking out the old cutter and putting in a new one or how to make adjustments to it? My TL 98 refuses to cut the top thread.

[@micheleboisture5643]

David when I remove everything and push the cut button the bars do not come out on the left. Any ideas on why that might be?

[@deborahsuekenyonweller837]

I have had thread jams and then used the thread cutter to loosen the jam..could that be why I'm now having more thread jams ?

[@kimw5533]

Is it possible to disengage the cutter of the foot pedal?

[@pjinlaca5489]

If you’re using 12 wt thread in the DX or other like machines, what thread weight should you use in the bobbin?

[@JukiJunkies]

12wt is too thick for the bobbin, I would stick with 50w on the bottom and size 14 topstitch needle for this combo.

[@tinau74]

Great video! Can you also do one on the automatic needle threader? I have a DX5 and the automatic threader on it doesn't work. Thank you!

[@JukiJunkies]

It might be bent already but I (Boki) will defiantly suggest that to David to make a more in depth video!

[@tinau74]

@@JukiJunkies Thank you for replying! I've only had the machine since last October, and what's weird is that it 'sometimes' will work on the bigger machine needles (14+) but won't on the smaller needles (9-11). 🤷🏻‍♀

[@Jin04115]

​@@tinau74i dont think you are,suppose to use tge threader for size 10 and smaller needles

[@Willowsilvermoon]

What's happening with my stitch cutter just started a few minutes ago!, is every time I hit the cutter, it not only does not cut, but the needle continuously goes up and down. I can't even stop it by holding the wheel.....what's going on??

[@kevindyche4988]

Thanks for this video, however it was pretty low level, home user oriented. My TL had cam position issues, which I fixed, but it’s still not cutting. A deeper dive video would be helpful for those people that have more advanced issues than a burr or cleaning, if you have the time.

[@JukiJunkies]

Cam issues need to be sent back to Juki America for repairs,

[@Fereday]

Is there a way to lengthen the thread that is left after the cut? I have to rethread my needle almost every time ? Also is it ok to leave the presser foot up while using the autothread feature ? Mine is stuck down unless I have the presser foot up due to the tension of the upper thread. Thank you in advance

[@JukiJunkies]

There is not. Make sure your sub mention unit which is the first tension spring you go through when you push the thread through the 2 holes is completely flush to the metal circle inside. That could be causing your issue. Its totally okay to use the cutter when the foot is up, while it may cut more consistently while the foot is down.

[@YomeidaGarza-ku4dx]

My.machine has the bobbin case is.on the side my Bobbincutter is on thr floore my foot goes down n cuts the tread

[@LQ327]

what is that you have clipped to the top of the tl18? is it an accessory?

[@JukiJunkies]

Its a tool from gypsy quilter you're actually supposed to wrap around your wrist but we snap it on the machine and it does great! gigisfabricshop.live/products/pin-cushion-slap-band?variant=7996

[@marciacarey2793]

Hit there, is there a way to turn off the thread cutter on the foot control please? I am always accidently stepping on it and it is very frustrating. Thank you.

[@JukiJunkies]

There actually is! Theres this tool you can just pop on the bottom of the foot pedal that won't engage it from turning on. See here : jukijunkies.com/product/foot-pedal-switch-stopper/

[@sassyd3538]

Hi, hoping you will see this message and reply. I’m in the UAE and our place where one could get service and help has unfortunately closed down. My DX 5 the “fluffy “ has come off (no I didn’t try remove it I know not to) but when cleaning my machine I noticed it was off (in 1 piece) can I glue it back on? In the meantime I will try find a place online that is able to send me a replacement, if I find a replacement can I screw that off and replace it? Love your videos I just watch because so much information, a new subscriber now😊.

[@JukiJunkies]

If it came off you can either just put a little super glue and put it back on or just leave it off

[@lenahowell2451]

@@JukiJunkiesmy machine was purchased without it. I am not sure if someone removed it or it fell off but I don’t see it. Does that cause issues? And how can that be fixed?

[@idkwhaty2kfashionis]

My thread cutter and needle up/down button are not working at all. I was working on a project yesterday and spent the entire day trying to fix it. Any tips here? I can’t even wind my bobbin, the foot control works, everything works except those small issues. Please help !

[@JukiJunkies]

Oh no! It sounds like something is not connected. I would bring it to an authorized Juki Dealer to take it apart for you and hopefully fix it.

[@BarbaraTimmerman-cb6xs]

How do I make the bobbin thread a little longer after the cutter cuts the thread?

[@JukiJunkies]

The top sub tension knob loosen it some

[@nanachavis]

The cutter does not cut my thread and the metal sticks on left do come across but do not cut and thread ends up getting caught inside there.

[@katiebarnes784]

What happens if the little fuzzy piece is gone? Should I worry

[@JukiJunkies]

No worries :)

[@normaleepfaff8724]

I have a brand new Juki TL 2000 Qi. Right now, I’m really frustrated with it. I’ve read everything I have to read, watched videos and still can’t figure out what’s going on. I’m trying to quilt with a cutie. Got my quilt all strapped on and begin to quilt and it’s gets jammed. I use the cutter and then I have disassembled to get to the bobbin because the cutter cuts it so short that I can’t pull the thread up. I’ve adjusted the tension per one of your videos, I’ve checked the needle, still skipped stitches or breakage. Help!

[@lpsoftie]

This may already be resolved but are you lowering your feed dogs if free motion quilting?

[@pattyharp725]

I am unable to remove the screws on the plate cover. Any ideas?

[@JukiJunkies]

Drop a little oil in it and let it sit. Try to use a right angle screwdriver!

[@toniwatrobka3068]

I have a TL. About 50% of the time the cutter cuts the thread so short that the thread comes out of the needle eye. This requires retreading the needle repeatedly. How can I fix this issue. Thanks

[@JukiJunkies]

Adjust sub tension knob to be looser

[@toniwatrobka3068]

Thanks for your very prompt reply. Before I adjust anything I want to confirm- are you talking about the tension screw on the bobbin case?

[@toniwatrobka3068]

Can you tell me if the sub tension is on the bobbin case or if not where that is exactly.

[@littlejacquesful]

​@@toniwatrobka3068the sub tension is that first tension knob you route the thread through when threading your juki. It's above the tension assembly. The bobbin tension is another thing entirely.

[@rhondasailors1697]

Thank you for your informative videos. I have a TL machine that will randomly cut the thread when I step on the foot control. I have the foot switch stopper installed and have turned the control around so that I’m only stepping on the rear edge to make the machine run. Any ideas of why this is happening?

[@alicekelly4975]

I glued my rubber thing in, so I can’t cut thread that way. Given the choice, I would not get thread cutter controlled by foot pedal, wish it was an option.

[@lisagiarratana7660]

Hey Rhonda, you’re not alone! I’ve also experienced the cutter randomly engaging too. I also use the stopper. I have a bad leg due to MS and thought maybe I put too much weight on the front and caused the heel area to lift up and cut somehow 🤷‍♀️ I thought it was just me 😌

[@JukiJunkies]

Hi! There was a bad batch of foot pedals from about 2 years ago now. So if you got your machine around that time, it may be that. I would reach out to your dealer to see if the serial number from your machine is from that period and if you can get a new one via warranty.

[@Sewing556]

@@JukiJunkiesmaybe this is my problem. I have a TL 2000 that was purchased during Covid lockdown. It will cut my thread every time I press on my peddle. I don’t like having the thread cutter on my peddle.

[@user-tv5up1uu4x]

The thread cutter is driving me crazy! It randomly cuts the thread even when I'm not even touching the back of the foot pedal.

[@pandoriallc3991]

What is that purple thing on top of the TL18?

[@HeikeM-bc6ee]

It's a magnetic wrist pincushion.

[@JukiJunkies]

Its a magnetic slap band thats supposed to be used on your wrist but we use it on the machine and it does great! gigisfabricshop.live/products/pin-cushion-slap-band?variant=7996

[@rae-annerichard793]

Why does my thread cut when I press my foot pedal?

[@patriciapugliani1800]

My bottom thread will not cut.

[@kstorts7348]

So what IS the purpose of the “fuzzy thing?”

[@JukiJunkies]

It helps feed the thread and keep it in place when cutting and the avoid bunching at the beginning when you start sewing.

[@kstorts7348]

@@JukiJunkies thanks for the explanation. 😉
