Needle threaders on many brands are finneky. I just saw a video about an improved needle threader that worked flawlessly. So, the industry is aware of threaderbissues. I have another pet peeve about my juki 2010: lighting. Needs better lighting over bed of machine and with no glare ring. Ifinally this juki is mechanical. It has buttons. Mechanical buttons vs computerized buttons. I also think many mechanical machines have the metal bobbin cases which the sewer inserts a bobbbin then inserts the filled bobbin case below the needlebed. Like the old fashioned blackhead Singers. The bobbins on mechanicals tend to be metal. Computerized machines generally have plastic drop in bobbins. I gifted a number of mechanical beginner janome machines to some of my students. I chose mechanical because the bobbin system has proven to be reliable after a century of use. You are an easy to listsen to instructor who explains using good grammar, vocabulary demonstrating excellent knowledge of the topic. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and informative comment! I agree, lighting could be better. I don't tend to notice lighting issues as much, as my studio has an enormous amount of lighting for video recording purposes. You are correct, though, the lighting on the machine could be better. I appreciate the feedback and the thoughtful comment. Thanks for watching! ~Deborah

Minor corrections: The Brother PQ series is primarily cast aluminum like the Juki, but a few of the cosmetic cover panels are plastic. The Brother PQ (and the BabyLock equivalent), Juki TL and Janome HD9 are all basically clones of each other, and really only differ in minor features and included accessories. Also you can get the Janome in black, if you're into that. The Sailrite you mentioned, the LSZ-1, is actually a zig zag walking foot machine. You probably meant the LS-1, which is the straight stitch only version. The walking foot attachment for this machine, like the ones for almost all domestic machines, does not actually pull the fabric from the top. Rather, this style of "walking foot" is designed with a low friction slider that moves with the fabric when the feed dogs in the machine itself do the actual advancing. The mechanism inside of the attachment just resets the slider to the middle between each stitch. The net effect is very similar to using a teflon foot, but slightly more slippery. Technically speaking these straight stitch machines are computerized. There is a microcontroller inside that reads the pedal position and then drives the motor while monitoring the needle position, and it also takes care of operating the thread cutter. However, unlike a fully computerized machine it does not control the feed dogs and obviously there's no zig-zag mechanism for it to control.

I bought my Juki 2010Q last August. I have two Brother Machines and a Handi Quilter. I’ve had a Bernina too. I do have a Bernina serger. I love my Juki and have heard that the Brother 1500 is the exact same machine. They came out with a new 1600 now. I sewed on a Singer 345 for years until it died. Love this Juki straight stitch. Your straight stitches are wonderful. You won’t be sorry if you buy it.

I’ve had my juki TL98 for about 12+ years…… and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. There are a couple of computer boards in the top. One…. Of them went on the fritz about 5 years ago (at that time a new board would have cost $300.) I have been working with this machine, perfectly fine…….BUT it no longer does “thread cutting” or “needle down position” or “Stops the moment you take your foot off the gas pedal”. I LEARNED how to work the machine without those 3 features…. 1-I hardly used the thread cutter anyway, because of the knot that the next stitches have in them. 2-needle down …. I DO miss that feature, but I can hand crank it down. 3-I take my foot off the gas about 5 stitches before I need it to STOP. It still goes 90 miles an hour, and stitches wonderfully…. I will SURELY buy another juki TL….. absolutely!! Once I’m ready, and REALLY feel the need!!! I have a second juki TL98 which lives on the mid arm frame!! IF there is/was a “con” about the juki, it would only be that it’s straight stitch….. but my Janome was purchased for all those OTHER things. I am a very LUCKY girl!!! …. With amazingly supportive DH.

You and me both! I have other machines for those other stitches, but wouldn't trade my Juki 2010 for much of anything! I have heard of those boards having issues.

I have a Juki TL 18 QVP. It does some additional foot adjustment which I wanted. The one thing I don't like about it is that the knee lift is further to the left (v. their other machines and other brand machines). It is my only quibble. These are brute machines that get the job done with minimal ask. I don't piece with it; however, I love it for binding. Feet sets are inexpensive, and I use the edge stitch feet and the left and right compensating feet. I really like this machine for binding as well as for heavier duty sewing. (P. S. I don't bother with the auto threaders....I just thread them as I still can see!)

Oh, how I wish this machine could do a simple zigzag! Other than that, it has everything I need or want...mechanical, a knee control, a down-needle button, a larger throat, etc. But in my quilting, I attach batting to my QAYG pieces with a zigzag stitch so I don't have to mess around with batting tape. It's also great for making frankenbatting. My Janome HD-5000 is sturdy and works for me, but I do wish for just a few of those extra niceties. Since my sewing room has room for only one machine, I guess I'm stuck. But this one is so tempting! Thank you for the thorough review.

@piecesofthepast 22 күн бұрын

I enjoyed your video & now I’m able to show my husband how awesome a Juki is ♥️ & it’s definitely everything I’m looking for in a machine. But I would like to know if you have one that doesn’t interchange into or is used also for a quilting table that might be cheaper but still does everything that the 2010 machine does along with the same size throat space? Please reply! Thank you!

@piecesofthepast Ай бұрын

Thank you and, yes, do show him! There are no machines that I know of that have the deep throat space and straight stitch that are less expensive than the Juki 2010. If you are not interested in quilting, you can go with a less expensive model that does not have the deeper throat space. We are not machine dealers, so I recommend that you look around to see if there is one that will better meet your needs. I do highly recommend the Juki brand, though. My second favorite brand is Janome. Hope that helps. ~Deborah

Great video ❤❤❤ I do bag making and I'm looking to upgrade from my Juki DX7 Would this machine or the new Juki Sumato machine be a good choice. I sew denim and mid weight canvas and would like to start sewing with leather, fake leathers and vinyls.

@piecesofthepast 21 күн бұрын

Good question! For your application, this machine would be a wonderful upgrade to the DX7. I had that machine and it really was a gread machine for all purpose sewing. The housing on the DX7 is plastic and the 2010Q is metal. If you can keep the DX7 for those times when you need to do zig-zag, or buttonholes, I might keep it. For me, I sold my DX7 and went with a much cheaper Janome for those stitches that I need on occasion. The only thing I really miss about the DX7 is the auto buttonhole feature. That was a dream. The 2010Q will sew all the materials you mentioned and more. I have never used a Sumato, but it looks to me like it is an updated version of the 2010Q. I cannot speak to it's durability, but since it is a Juki, it should be fabulous, too. Hope that helps! ~Deborah

Can you quilt freehand on the Juki without a regulator? Can you use the acrylic stitching guides I see quilters use? I would live to buy this machine..don't know if it ever goes on sale or not Thanks for filming this, it was so helpful.

@piecesofthepast 2 ай бұрын

Yes, you can quilt without a regulator. The regulator helps keep the stitches even. Stitching without one takes a lot of practice. Go slow and steady and you can do it. You can definitely use the acrylic rulers for quilting. A word of caution: Don't buy rotary rulers thinking they are the same thing. Rulers made for quilting as a guide are ¼" thick (or more), rulers made for rotary cutting are ⅛" thick. If you try to use a rotary ruler, you risk running over the ruler and breaking the ruler, needle, or the machine timing. I have not ever seen this machine on a sale. I can say it is a good machine for the MSRP. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!! ~Deborah

I really enjoyed the video! 😀 If I may ask 3 quick questions: I'll need a machine only for topstitches(?) it's a decorative seam which will also close the opening after turning. Is it hard/easy to do the lockstitches? My "normal" machine does it automatically and I've never done it myself and they'll need to look good bc it's on the top. Can I do a color change like with overlock machines, so knoting one thread to the next one? I have to do a lot of color changes and threading the machine each time would become tedious I think. And at last: I often have to shorten the last stitch before a corner but sometimes I only see it when I've gone to far, so can you go "one stitch back"? Thank you in advance!

@piecesofthepast 8 күн бұрын

Great questions! Lockstitches are done with the lever on the bottom right of the machine and are very easy to accomplish. Color changes can be done by knotting one thread to the next one, provided the eye of the needle you are using is large enough. I would not really recommend it, as the eye would need to be considerably larger and then it would probably not be the correct size for the thread you were using. I am not sure. You would have to try that out on your own. I manually change my thread multiple times a day, sometimes, and it is a really simple process for me. Finally, backing out of a stitch can be done, but if you have gone that extra stitch and the needle has come back to the up position, then the stitch is made and there is no backing out of it at that point. I hope that makes sense. Overall, I love this machine for top/edge stitching, but the things you mention seem like they could be better accomplished with different machines. I would recommend that you find a dealer, if possible, and test drive this machine to see if it will do what you want it to do. Thanks for watching and for the questions! ~Deborah

The oiling is super easy and I do it every time I clean my machine (about once a month), but I sew heavily every day. The machine has little holes in the casing where you just drop in a couple of drops from time to time. The manual is good at showing you where those are. Thanks! ~Deborah

Thanks for this video, and it was a great thorough review :) I just got this machine, it's still in the box... I like the Teflon foot suggestion, since you can't move the needle in other positions, can you get one that's a 1/4" foot? The one that you show that comes with the machine, has the piece of metal as the guide, I don't care for that kind, I'd rather use the edge of the foot to sew the 1/4". I notice that you do use the diagonal seam tape to mark the 1/4", I'm assuming that's what you do to piece for quilting. I jumped around the video a bit, so I apologize if you covered that and I missed it.

@piecesofthepast 29 күн бұрын

The teflon foot (see the video description for the link) is ¼" at the edge, so I use that for everything quilting related that requires that seam allowance. I use the diagonal seam tape (link also in the description) for doing flying geese and those types of things that require sewing from point to point. I use the red line in the middle more than the black ¼" line on the sides. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! ~Deborah

Interesting question. I believe it would be great for that application. The foot lifts higher than a domestic machine, so you can get thicker things under the needle easier.
