Thread: Question about Juki 2010Q

I absolutely love mine. Ordered it from an online sight that did not charge me any shipping or sales tax so it was cheaper than at the store but it is fabulous. I got it for the extra throat area for my quilting which is fabulous, it is a work horse which I had been told by another member here on the board. It comes with a walking for for stitch in the ditch and 2 free motion feet for quilting and a couple other. Has to be oiled after so many hours of use. Not computerized except for the automatic thread cutter. If you have any other questions you can message me directly I have been using mine since September.

I ADORE my Juki - I have exactly this model! I have quilted for over ten years, long arm quilted for the past two - and for me it is a very practical and useful machine. I rarely if ever use zig zag or decorative stitches...I'm a quilter through and through! I haven't much issue with tension, in fact of the dozen or so machines I have I find the Juki is the easiest to tension and I can switch back and forth from various different thread weights with little adjustment. It's a wonderful machine!

I absolutely love my Juki. I got my straight stitch one the Juki TL98Q (model previous to the one you are considering) first as a slightly used machine from a guild member who had upgraded to a long arm. It's heavy, fast, powerful and stitches perfectly. I love the extra long stitches it is capable of making, the two power thread cutters and the heavy duty feet. I wanted some fancy stitches, so I've recently purchased the Juki Exceed HZL 600 Quilt Pro and it stitches beautifully too. Both of these machines together cost me less and stitch so much better than my old Janome 6500. There is really no comparison. I would definitely recommend a Juki.

My most favorite 'modern' machine!
This was my review of it from last spring, and I continue to smile whenever I sit down to use it. Mof, I am sew taken w this machine that I've started carrying them in my shop.

"I've owned this machine for (then) 8 months and just adore it. Its stitch quality is beautiful, it is reliable, it takes all threads (not at all finicky), the foot control thread cutter is fantastic, the knee lift is convenient, the threader is easy to work, doesn't require a 'leader' when starting a seam, etc. etc. etc. It is a quality machine through and through. I own(ed) many different machines and this is my favorite. I enjoy it far more than the Janome Horizon 7700MCP I sold to purchase this. Its stitch is comparable to (better than) my Berninas and I find it far easier to get a consistent scant 1/4" seam allowance on this machine.
It comes w 3 different 1/4" feet: the all-purpose straight stitch, the compensating, and the walking one. I've used them all, depending upon my needs.
I chose this model based on 1) my desire for solely a straight stitch machine w a large throat space, and 2) the outstanding reviews I consistently read about it, There isn't a Juki dealer around so I couldn't try it prior to purchase. I bought it from a terrific sew/vac center down south. Not only did I get a great price but they have fantastic customer service and I couldn't be happier w my decision.

Some people say the threader is difficult. Make sure needle is in its highest position and the presser foot is lowered. I personally haven't found any issue w it but if you do, a brief video by gardenspeak may help."
