How To Use Industrial Thread!? (Juki TL Complete user Guide)

[@joanrichards235]

Excellent video - learned a couple things like having your foot down while adjusting the top tension. Thank you!!

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes :) that’s a great tip! Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@deborahlh7747]

Hmmm, a thread sock. I had no idea what that was! Great and informative video.

[@JukiJunkies]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m so glad you posted this! I have some tex45 thread and wasn’t sure what to change in my practice.

[@JukiJunkies]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting! we appreciate you.

[@juanitamayes6329]

This video is perfect! I followed it and changed out everything (stitch plate, thread, bobbin, and needle) on my 2010 so I could top stitch a bag. So much better!

[@JukiJunkies]

Yay, glad we could help :)

[@dee9859]

Only 2.45 minutes into video and already learned something new! I had no idea that is what those thread nets are for! Love your videos!

Thanks 😊, this really helps I was not winding bobbins correctly or threading correctly. This is good info.

[@JukiJunkies]

You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for watching!!

[@gstmist9362]

Oh, I did not know that when threading the tl using all 3 holes! Ive always put the thread through 2, well will now correct this because I make bags and use tex 70, thank you. I bought this machine from you guys about a year ago and I absolutely love it! ❤ Although I just ordered a thick throat plate because through user error I have quite the many needle strikes on the one I have 😢. Cant wait for it to arrive!

[@TASFiberArt]

I’m looking to buy a Juki TL2010Q next year. I’m a mixed media fiber artist and this looks like the perfect machine for me. As someone who has been using a sewing machine for nearly 60 years, I understand quite a bit about tension. With that being said, I would like to know more about the pre-tension and when you would need all 3 of the guide holes on top. I’m not familiar with this concept. Would you please do a video on this particular topic. You guys are so phenomenal with your information. Thank you

[@Tenita79]

I have a industrial DDL9000B but the thread needle info was great and I think some of the issues cross over to other machines also.. It is very hard to find info/how-to for my machine. Thanks!

Your videos are very informative, thank you . I own a Juki DU 1181 N and I love it but it’s not really for lighter weight fabrics like the lining of bags so I’m thinking about getting the 2010Q for this purpose. Do y’all ship to CA?

[@JukiJunkies]

I totally agree. That would be a great way to solve that issue. Yes we can :)

I can’t seem to find the smooth roller foot mentioned in this video. I often use the standard roller foot and can see where this would be very handy to have on hand. Would someone mind sending me a link? I’ll order it right away.

Thank you for posting this! I’ve yet to try it and have been wanting to.

[@JukiJunkies]

You can do it! Thanks for watching!

[@carlenlesesne]

So I agree with another commenter that the threading shown here misses a step I usually use. I checked your other video for TL threading and it also misses that step. When I look at my owners manual, it indicates you should go through the thread guide on the way down and then again on the way back up. Is there a reason you all skip that thread guide? Is it optional? Thanks for all your wonderful instruction, this topic (heavier thread weight) in particular has been on my list to research recently so I appreciate you all saving me lots of time and frustration!!

[@JukiJunkies]

This is the way we do it and find it works perfectly. It is more natural for the thread to go the way we did. I could be miss understanding so please feel free to email [e-mail] with a picture to show what you mean :)

[@carlenlesesne]

@@JukiJunkies I don’t think it makes a huge difference, was just curious. Thanks again for all your wonderful content!

[@maryl9601]

I love my TL 2000. Would love to see how you thread it on an original basis and fill the bobbin. I think it might be different than what I have been doing. Oh my

[@dcwatashi]

They already have a video on that

[@JukiJunkies]

It’s pretty much the exact same way just miss that middle hole on the first thread guide :) we have a few other videos on this. But we will make a newer version soon.

[@caroleehornbuckle6855]

Can you use a thinner weight thread in the bobbin with Tex 70 for top stitching

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes :)

[@AliceDillon1963]

Thank you. Great video. I learned all the way through! For the piecing of the bag you use a different thread or can you use the tex 70 for everything? Is the tex 70 just for the top stitching?

[@JukiJunkies]

We like to piece with glide 40w and top stitch with Tex 70

[@alisonhingston7820]

Are these steps the same for tex 45

[@jennifermatchett1330]

Awesome video as usual! Do you suggest going through all three holes when using tex 45?

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes I do!

[@umrayan7010]

I have an issue with my Juki. The needle up- down and scissor cutter have stopped working. Scissor cutter doesn’t cut now, but moves the needle. When I push the needle up button, the needle does several up downs, instead of once. Please tell me how I can resolve this issue? Thank you

[@savingmyself8802]

Since you're known as juki junkies, why is it that the UK version of this machine is better than ours? Will it be available in the US?

[@Conservgma]

Thanks,learned a lot…but I have a question…. I went to your website looking for tex70 thread. Under your industrial thread page you have the following three choices; Tex 90, Aruvp 1350d, and Fil-Tec 69. I’m SO confused. Which one is the Tex 70 ( and is it “Tex” or “Tec” and is there a difference between the two words. Long question but I am confused 😞

[@JukiJunkies]

Fil-Tec TEX 70 bonded nylon is what we use in this video. The Aruva is a high end thread for outside upholstery. If you’re looking for thread for your Juki TL or similar model buy the Tex 70 here is a direct link. jukijunkies.com/product-category/industrial-sewing-threads/bonded-nylon-fil-tex-70/

[@Conservgma]

@@JukiJunkies Thank you so much 💕

[@simpsondonna]

Fantastic video!

[@maaszviktor]

Thanks for the great video. How does these apply to computerized machines? What is the heaviest thread I can use for my F series?

[@donnahixon3643]

Excellent video

[@MyMike509]

I never knew those thread nets affected the tension - just thought they kept the thread in line! Good to know - also great tip on the bobbin winding. Did the 2010TL come with those nets (from JukiJunkies) - or do you order those separately (need to check my box)!

[@JukiJunkies]

Have to order separately. Check the description. They definitely help keep your thread a tad tighter. Enjoy!

[@chasethehorizonx]

Can you use Tex 70 with a TL-2000?... asking because it doesn't have that secondary tension thing.

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes you can :)

[@dcwatashi]

At minute marker 15:53 when you turned over the Fabric the bobbin stitches did not look good at all compared to the very first line of stitching that you did. I’m surprised you didn’t see that. Would be good to know what you did. It sounded like you increased the stitch length. Unless you adjusted something we could not see. And why is the thread white when you showed brown thread at the beginning of the video?

[@JukiJunkies]

It’s not white thread.. pause the video and look closely. I just reviewed. It still looks good too. Thanks for watching!

[@dcwatashi]

@@JukiJunkiesI did pause the video. How else did I get the minute marker And it certainly isn’t the color of thread that you were first demonstrating It’s so obvious that the bobbin thread did not look anything like the top thread

[@JukiJunkies]

@@dcwatashi We didn't switch threads this is the same thread that I used the whole video. :)

[@cathryncoate2167]

Is there a comparable machine to the JUKI TL2300 in the US? I am in the UK and thinking of buying the TL2300

[@MrJvkckelley]

What would be a similar heavy duty machine that would give me zigzag as well as strait stitch?

[@JukiJunkies]

The Juki DX-7 would be best! It’s not as heavy duty but does decrotive stitches …what kind of sewing/material are you using?

[@MrJvkckelley]

@@JukiJunkies thank you for the rapid response. I am trying to sew cotton duck with a little webbing. I have looked at the Sailrite machines, but something in my gut tells me to keep looking.

[@maryjackson5906]

Please define industrial thread. Is it the large cones? Is it the thread used on an industrial blind hem machine? Something else? Thanks!

[@JukiJunkies]

Great question. Industrial thread is typically measured in Tex not Weight. The higher the tex the thicker the thread. In this video we used TEX 70. Which is the max thickness of thread you can use in a Juki TL. Also industrial thread is typically a bonded nylon for higher strength.

[@maryjackson5906]

@@JukiJunkies Thanks. What is the minimum thickness of an industrial thread?

[@maaszviktor]

Thanks, great tutorial! Can you use tx 70 on your Dx/ f series machines as well (considering you are using an appropiate needle?)

[@JukiJunkies]

No only on the TL :)

[@maaszviktor]

Thanks you for the response. What is the max thread size for those computerized machines? I can’t really find that. There is quite a bit of a range betwern the std Tkt 120 and Tkt 40 (tex 70)

[@carriesaindon5382]

The foam under my spool cushion is getting worn. Do I really need to replace it?

[@JukiJunkies]

You don’t have to but you can :)

[@C123abc]

Confused by the tex 70 part. I have thread that is 100 wt, very fine, down to 12 wt cotton thread which I thought is what you're talking about. How does my 12 wt compare to 70 tex? There is no tex number on it. Thanks.

[@JukiJunkies]

Here is a conversion. to convert wt --> tex divide 1000 by the wt. value to convert tex --> wt divide 1000 by the Tex value e.g. 40wt is 1000g/40km -> 25 Tex 25 Tex --> 1000m/25g --> 40wt 100WT = TEX 10

[@JukiJunkies]

Wt is the km of thread per kg. Tex is the inverse - weight in g/km. to convert wt --> tex divide 1000 by the wt. value to convert tex --> wt divide 1000 by the Tex value e.g. 40wt is 1000g/40km -> 25 Tex 25 Tex --> 1000m/25g --> 40wt 12WT= TEX 83 Roughly

[@pamelathornton8643]

I try this method but I didn’t work in my Juki 210 😢 . My thread will jam in the Bobbin area and will not stitch.

[@JukiJunkies]

Does it jam with normal thread?

[@pamelathornton8643]

@@JukiJunkies no I tried everything you said with the thread net adjusting the bobbin case the pressure it would not stick the thread would jam
