What a great informative video. Having used many makes/machines over the years (yes I am old 😂) Juki is my favourite, fab machines, reliable, strong and easy to use. My first was the DX7, a great machine and if I’m honest my favourite. I upgraded to the UX8 (am in the UK so DX4000 equivalent) and again another great machine that I love. I mainly sew bags (as a hobby) and have for a long time. I decided to add a TL2300 (not sure what your equivalent model number is) and I can now use the thicker threads for top stitching. I also find it a great machine for soft toy making which saves my UX8 from all that fluff 😂 So in essence, after researching what I needed for bag making in the past I will say that your advice is spot on and will I wish I’d had it when I was struggling to find the right machine…well done 👏 Anyone looking to buy a new machine, you can’t go wrong with a Juki they are fantastic machines x

[@JukiJunkies]

Aww thank you. I love this comment :)

[@sewing_myhappyplacepauline223]

Hi Sue, I have the DX7 and yesterday at the Harrogate knitting & Stitching show I ordered the Juki TL2300 Sumato for my bag making endeavours. Impatiently waiting for delivery next Friday 👍🏻

[@adventuresingoatfarming6754]

Listening to you speak while I’m sewing up some leather ( heavy duty:) framing chisel sheaths. Only 1/2 inch thick English bridal leather. On my 115 year old Landis # 3 harness stitcher . The old workhorse is still chugging along. New machines are in the future. ❤

[@dianamann8798]

I've been a Janome owner since I started quilting almost 10 years ago. I bought a TL-18 as a Christmas present to myself last year and wow, it is a great bag making machine! I love my computerized Janomes - Skyline S7 and an M17 - but the Juki is a beast! It is amazing for bag making.

[@JukiJunkies]

That's lovely to hear we love both Juki and Janome. The Juki TL is definitely a fantastic machine :) -HD

[@rhondamarcum7912]

You two are enjoyable to listen to! Both very knowledgeable!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you kindly! :)

[@maryl9601]

I have the TL2000 for my bag making and quilting. I love it. I love the power. I have a small Singer patchwork forZig zag and a few other stitches. Thank you for your info

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for watching :)

[@sadiejosiemom]

I have the TL2010q and have made some pouches and one large tote that was not heavily interefaced but had leather strap handles. I've had no problems. What I really wanted it for - because I have 4 Berninas - is because I saw so many quilters use it and loved it and I concur!! Also, I follow someone very well known on Instagrams that has a TL she uses to make TONS of bags - mostly from quilting cottons but she does use vinyl a lot too. And there's another woman who makes bags and pouches on a TL. It's really a great machine that I do not regret purchasing!!

[@JukiJunkies]

The TL is definitely a winner.

[@rosemarieburrell1799]

I have the Juki 1541S and LOVE it. I sew with vinyl, waterproof canvas, and clear vinyl. AND IT WILL SEW COTTON AS LONG AS it’s interfaced!!! I have done it many times, just want everyone to know!!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you for sharing :)

[@catherinedengate1502]

Love your Sunday videos!

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you :)

[@tracyreid1670]

My DX7 was my first Juki and I love it for all my piecing and taking on retreats. My NX7 is my second Juki and so far she's been great but she needed to go back to Juki because the needle was a little off center. Hopefully she'll come back all fixed up because she was great for making all my knitting project bags. I mainly use quilt cotton and cotton canvas. I also use the NX7 for quilting. The 12" throat space is awesome. A small part of me regretted getting the NX7 instead of the TL but after watching this video I do think the NX7 is a better fit. I might have to add a TL to my collection if I start making more bags to share with my knitting group. Thank you for all you do.

[@MarcieFrazee]

I bought a Juki F300 8 months ago because the refurbished Brother Project Runway model I have can’t handle the quilting projects I started (and continue to make). Since then I’ve also made 2 weekender bags and an attaché/laptop case. For the most part, my Juki can handle whatever I throw I’m at it, although it doesn’t like to play nice with stiff foam fusible stabilizers. If I thought I would be making bags a lot more, I might consider upgrading; however, since I had to take out a loan to pay for my ~$600 F300, I don’t foresee making a change anytime soon. I❤️JUKI!!!

[@JukiJunkies]

That is a great machine :)

[@2andor4]

I have the Juki DDL-9000c-fms, which is a computerized industrial machine. I sew 2 layers of unlined quilting cotton on it all the time, in fact it is what I sew the most. It also handles fleece and sherpa well. I also use heavy duck cotton, vinyl and ottertex on it with no issues. However - full disclosure - I am NOT a bag maker YET. I have only made totes and the PursePal (Linds Handmade). Also- this machine is on the pricey side.

[@marlyminks]

I have the TL2020 Platinum Edition and the F600 for my bag making and quilting needs. The two together compliment each other well.

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes they do :)

[@Areayea]

I needed this video XD but I already made my decision. I ended up with an industrial since my question was hakura or 1541s. I chose the 1541s since I want to work with leather leather. I was also conflicted on the du1181 but I didn't think it would be good for the veg tan leather since I also make clothes, jackets, harnesses etc. Thanks for answering this question! I'm glad I made the right choice.

[@neilarmitage6632]

I have industrial machines. Direct drive straight stitch. Industrial 4 thread overlock direct drive. Both have speed adjustment. But they don't have the versatility as the Juki NX7 OR UX8 OR NX7 I sew a lot of fine work. Thin fabrics which need slow speeds, and perfect stitches, expensive garments

[@JukiJunkies]

Thanks for sharing

[@alicekelly4975]

Even if I got an industrial, I’d never get rid of my TL. It’s a quilting champ, she pieces like a demon and I can FMQ fairly decent on it.

[@JukiJunkies]

Totally agree :)

[@BarbFry]

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my TL-15!

[@thisbasicstitch]

I use a tl 18, mainly work with cork and vinyl ... I use it mostly for top stitching , I use a size 16 needle along with a polyester bonded tex 45 thread. My tl has a computerized companion for bag lining.

[@JukiJunkies]

The perfect two!

[@thefailingstudent]

I have making backpacks with my dx7. I use more technical fabrics and i think i have pushed it way past what it should be doing, but it takes it like a champ...i think my next machine will be a TL

[@JukiJunkies]

The DX7 is a wonder, it can do soooo much. The TL would be a great next step up for you! Would make an awesome companion with the DX7 :)

[@kylieandlinsay8525]

Love it :)

[@JukiJunkies]

Thank you!!!

[@patriciawatts7157]

I love the butterfly quilt and do you have the pattern?

[@elimelart]

Im deciding between tl2010q or du1181N. For bags, backpacks. Later ofc smth with cylindrical arm, then i have real production

[@sparklemint2458]

Thank you 💖

[@JukiJunkies]

You are so welcome!

[@jillkama7614]

Saving my pennies... Definitely would be interested in a juki vs hd9 video

[@JukiJunkies]

Maybe soon

[@sherrywilliams1131]

Hi. Thanks for this informative post. I'm wondering if the TL line of machines might come out with one that has the start stop buttons etc similar to the new Little Rebel by Grace ? The only other item i would love is a zig zag.. lol id love to be able to do jelly roll rugs but it needs to zig zag rows together.. Have a great day

[@JukiJunkies]

Not that we know... but that would me amazing.

[@craftscor]

This video was really needed because there are so many different Juki machines to chose from. I have a JukiTL 2010Q. Best machine ever, for everything I sew. I do want to get another Juki that is as strong as the JukiTL for my bags, but also does the different stitches and is good for taking to Sewing retreats. Did you day you recommend the DX series?

[@JukiJunkies]

No computerized machine will be as strong as the TL but the DX7 is a great option and we do have a special running on them. Call us 813-661-9000 10 am -4 pm Est Thank you, David

[@westbourne7034]

Hi can you give me some advice what the in the log file on Juki NX7 error history has E007 noted twice? It’s a second hand machine I was looking at buying but concerned this could be something expensive to sort. It has 133132 stitches 1376 number of thread trimmings . Are these a lot? Not sure what time of evolution or time of energisation means? Thanks

[@ShannonWimberly]

I want to start sewing but I really want to make bags , because I am tired of buying them from companies. I want to start off with cotton but eventually get to mixed materials to include leather. Is this TL something you’d recommend for someone who has never sewn with a machine before?

[@tearose3763]

What does TL stand for, I have a TL 18qvp haruka…..i love it ❤ thank you for this content

[@JukiJunkies]

I am not to sure.

[@traciblack2079]

Thank you, I have a juki tel 2000 I’ve heard a lot of good things about the 1181 for bag making I also do upholstery what’s the biggest difference between the 1181 & 1541 I believe is the other one?

[@JukiJunkies]

The 1541 s has a triple feed walking foot system :) Where the needle actually moves unlike the Juki 1181

[@Keto9947]

I’m just starting my bag making with my TL18. So far I’ve only put Tex70 thread in bobbin and top and put in a size 16 needle and tested the tension on a vinyl strap. I needed the Teflon foot then got a great stitch by making minor adjustments to the tension. I’m not sure about having to always be adjusted the tension between tex70 and glide 40. Would you talk about this when bag making with the TL machine. Is glide strong enough to construct heavy vinyl and waterproof canvas bags?

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes we use Glide 40 all the time for bag making :) Typically use the tex 70 for top stitching. Just make sure to not use thread cutter with that

[@Keto9947]

@@JukiJunkies What I find then is constantly changing tension. the pattern calls for sewing and then top stitching a section which means changing the tension back and forth. Any suggestions?

Juki 1541S - Can the presser foot be lifted manually with your hand? I had to sell my Sailrite Fabricator because the knee lift caused a lot of pain in my arthritic right knee.

[@JukiJunkies]

Yes you can :)

[@dianep649]

I am currently sewing on a Janome M7Continental which I love. I am wanting to sew more clear vinyl and vinyl bags. My M7 doesn't seem to like the clear printed vinyl. How would the Janome HD9 compare to the M7 ?

[@JukiJunkies]

It would be a great option because it does have more power. Call us so we can discuss in more in depth. 813-661-9000 ask for David :)

[@GirasolVintage]

Is bag making comparable to furniture upholstery?

[@Kim-xg1vm]

I would go for a heavy industrial for furniture upholstery.

[@loisblakeney4218]

I have a TL 2010Q which I purchased late 2023 and I have an issue with it. I make bags with Faux Leather or cotton fabric. When I am sewing a bag and have to stop to adjust the fabric, then when I want to sew again the machine will not go. I press my foot on the foot peddle or press the Needle Up/Down button, nothing happens the machine will not go. The only thing I can do is take my hand off the sewing and turn the wheel a little and then the machine will start sewing again. This happen most of the time, sometimes I don't have any trouble. It is like the machine freezes or something is sticking. Have you ever come across this problem. I can really do with your help. I have complained about it to the dealer but I don't think they believe me. I have been sewing for more than 50 years so I do know when something is wrong.

[@JukiJunkies]

I would try to capture a video of it and show the dealer and ask them to either replace it or do a warranty on it. Especially if this issue is consistent.

[@loisblakeney4218]

@@JukiJunkies thank you. I will do that.

[@GayleHallAZ]

It’s probably just me, but it’s kinda distracting when you guys keep talking over each other and interrupting what’s being said by the other person. Boki (sp?) does this a lot, unfortunately. Otherwise, great topic!

We are siblings we are doing great :)

[@michaeltexeira6185]

You guys yapping too much. Show the machine working,,Eg Sewing. Janome 9 is the best. It have a high pressure foot lift,,,Slow ,,medium, high speed,,for speed control,,,thread cutter,, and you will need a Janome Serger to finish the edges,,,forget price. Get the best.
