I have this awesome machine and I used to use the bobbin winder just as you are, fiddling trying to get that pin in the right spot, until I saw another youtuber simply set the bobbin down on the spool and lightly spin it til it sat into the pin! No more fiddling.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks for sharing! I will try that.

I love watching Stacy,I am new to quilting and have learnt so much from her she is absolutely amazing,I was struggling with the binding and then I watched a video of her doing it and she made it look so easy so now if I wanna know anything she is my go to person ,thank you so much I feel that I have achieved so much and I have been doing quilting for nearly a year and from an absolutely none sewer to a quilter with her guidance by watching her you tube videos I am really happy with my progress so far 😊❤

Hello!! Just came across your videos and I love the way you present your material content and your demonstrations. So many people go so fast , or they talk to you as if you know certain things . I am a beginner basically. I started a while back, then with life and moving am now returning back to my quilting and was getting reacquainted with everything. Thanks so much! I look forward to watching all your videos! 😊 …Your newest quilts friend, Vicki, from North Carolina, USA

Great tip! I do mostly quilting, so haven't needed to do that 😊

Hi Stacey, I had a little drapery company and had all power sewing machines. My biggest regret is selling my power serger and my power straight needle. I’m over it with these little wimpy slow machines. I’m thinking about getting a Juki industrial. I really miss the knee lift And I really miss how fast these power machines can go. Thanks again again. I really enjoy all your videos.

I think you would love the Juki. The TLs also have speed and a knee lift; so check them out too ❤ I highly recommend Juki Junkies: jukijunkies.com/ref/staceylee/

When I bought my Juki at the Houston Quilt Festival a few years ago, I admit, I'd never heard of the brand. I bought the TL-18QVP and I'm still impressed with the power this baby has! I was told by several people at the show and since, that the TL model is a workhorse. I've started making bags and pouches and I just love it. I still use my electronic machine for quilt piecing, but the TL is my go-to for the bulkier projects. There is a KZbin channel called Juki Junkies and they have a lot of good information. Thank you for your video, it was very helpful 😊

Love my Juki TL2010 but had to stop using the pressure foot knee lift because my stubborn brain kept remembering my mom’s knee controlled sewing machine I grew up on & would not stop reminding me to use the lifter to run the machine 😂

Love this machine. I have the TL18 after first owning the TL2000. The speed control and the micro lift were the reasons why I switched.

Wonderful, descriptive video Stacey! I love my TL2010, and have had it for about a year and a half now. I love it's speed, and that it is a straight stitch machine. Did I understand you correctly about oiling every 3 to 4 months? Interesting.......I oil everything every bobbin change.....and I sew A LOT! LOL

[@cynthiasymons]

I oil my machine every bobbin change too. I have the TL18. I have also never been able to get my bobbin to click-it is seated and works fine, but I’ve never been able to get a click out of it. Have yet to figure out why.

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes the information was giving to me from Juki Junkies. You oil the bobbin are every change. You can over oil them, in which case if you opened it up you may have a big pool of oil inside.

[@Tlea064]

Thank you !

[@staceyleecreative]

You're welcome! ❤

[@kathypeters9895]

Thank you! I have two 2010q's and need to oil them!!!!!!

[@Zombiepixiestitches1981]

I have been following you for a while now, love your videos have made quite a few things from your videos. I am wanting to upgrade sometime soon in the next 6 mo to year. I see other you tubers some have Juki some have Bernina. I found this video very helpful in pointing the features out. I have had 2 Singer Sewing machines and want something a little more heavy duty. I have made a few quilts and have dabbled in making bags but my little Singer just doesn't seem to keep up with more than 2 layers of fabric. One of my biggest problems also with my Singer machines is the space between the bobbin and the needle is very small and hard to thread the needle sometimes so more space would be a perk.

[@staceyleecreative]

I'm glad my video was helpful! Thank you for the continuous support!

Hello just bought a TL2000qi!!! Can’t wait until it arrives! I was wondering what you set your tension on for quilt piecing? Thank you Good video, hadn’t seen anything about oiling it

[@staceyleecreative]

I don’t touch my tension. It should come to you set up. I had a problem with mine at first but never touched it since.

[@HiMyNguyen]

Great video. thanks for your sharing. anyway i have a same one but i still have a big struggle with the foot control , really bad experience with cutting function. Do you have any advice, please…😢

[@staceyleecreative]

I have never had a problem. I would contact the shop you purchased it from and they can help you resolve the issues.

[@beckeecarrier4616]

The autothreader on my TL-98 worked perfectly every single time On the TL-2010, I got it to work just one time. Once. I replaced it, adjusted it, still no go😩 But I won't trade my TL for any other machine!

[@staceyleecreative]

Oh no! I don’t know why you are having trouble with the threader

You should try the knee lifter. I love it 🤗

[@teresaericson6603]

Thank you Stacey for another great video. I do have a question about the Juki that you use. Since it is industrial , does it have any problems sewing multiple fabrics? My grandkids like Rag Quilts and sometimes I have problems with my machine that I have now not being able to sew through multiple pieces of fabric. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks again.

[@staceyleecreative]

Sorry for not replying earlier. The beauty of a Juki TL is that it is semi industrial, so it can easily sew through many layers.

[@MsNomitu]

Loved your video. You have a great talking voice. I could probably research it but can i use prewound bobbins that are not metal? Would it cause problems with tension etc.?

[@staceyleecreative]

Sorry for the late reply. I have heard the Glide prewound bobbins work a treat, but I haven't tried them myself.

[@bevdreyer2568]

Hi Stacey, What a great video, I have been looking at the TL2010Q. Just wondering what thread type you have in the large cone there?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, I use Glide and Wonderfil Specialty thead.

[@khinekhine613]

Does it have memory needle down feature since that is quite important for me? Great review, thank you.

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, the idea of thsi video wasn't to be a review because there are so many out there, it was more the little things no one tells you. But yes you get set the needle to be up or down when you stop sewing. Buy from Juki Junkies with my link to get a free gift with purchase: jukijunkies.com/product/juki-tl-2010q/ref/staceylee/

[@smontone]

Thank you for a very helpful video! I have a comment and a question. My comment is I had to get a repair person to show me the feed dog switch. It’s easy to drop down by to engage it back up again you have to turn a full rotation to get it to stay up. 😅 my question is, I don’t like the plastic case my Juki TL2010q came with can you suggest a case that would fit it? I switch back and forth with my Juki and my Viking SE.

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean a travel bag? I know Juki sell them 😊

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Not being very familiar with the Juki models, I was wondering if it does any stretch or zig-zag stitches. All the features you have mentioned are great (and especially that knee lift!), but I would need a machine that does a bit more than straight stitching. Thank you for your well presented video.

[@staceyleecreative]

No I am sorry the Juki TL sewing machines only do a straight stitch. It's a semi industrial sewing machine 😊

[@juliemac5604]

It seems like Juki's answer to the vintage Bernina Record series. The Bernina had automatic tension and more stitches, but the Juki has the knee lift and needle threader.

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes it is!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Thank you for such an informative video! I've had my TL-2010Q for about 10 years, but didn't know about oiling the bobbin area.!

Many thanks for your help and for creating such a great video!!

[@lynnl6101]

Excellent video. Thank you. One thing however that really annoyed me. I was cleaning my Juki one day, and the foot plate fell on the floor. The plate that bends. Anyway the tiny screws (can't remember if it was one or two) that hold it together fell off and the plate came apart. I have never seen a screw so small. Thank goodness Juki junkies had a how to video on changing your foot plate or I never would've been able to put it back together. You would think on such a expensive machine they could've at least used a larger screw so you could actually see it. So just be careful with that plate when you're cleaning your machine!

My auto threader seldom works. Most of the time I just thread it manually. Other than that I love this machine.

[@staceyleecreative]

Oh no. You can replace it if you think it might be faulty 🙃

[@Quilting4fun]

After I’ve wound my bobbin and have it in the case it’s very loose so when I turn it on the side to put into the machine it often falls out of the bobbin case. Is it supposed to be that loose? Thanks for the video it was quite informative.

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, no it’s not. If anything you want it to be firm like a spool of thread. I think you must be not wrapping it around the tension disc.

When it's working correctly, the needle threader is great. It is fairly delicate, though, so if it stops working well for you, you might need to replace it. Fortunately, it's an inexpensive part. Order yourself a new little piece and get that needle threader working again!

My Juki randomly cuts the thread when I am sewing. I can’t use it for quilting because of the thread cutting.

[@margobalzarini2339]

Also, Juki does not acknowledge my questions about this problem when I write to them. And the local dealer won’t work on my machine because I didn’t buy it from her.

[@staceyleecreative]

The downsides are said in the video. But the only real downside is that it is only a straight stitch, I didn't mention that, because the idea was to talk about things no one days. But that's the biggie. You really need a second machine for zig zag, button holes, etc.
