Juki 2010Q - Comments & Questions after first week of use.
#22
I'm really sad tonight. I went to try this machine out (actually, not the 2010Q but the newer model 2200 mini), but with my arthritic hands, I simply could not get the bobbin in with that awkward side orientation. It really seemed like the perfect machine for me, because I want a mechanical and don't need fancy stitches. Now I'm not sure what to consider next. The same store carries Baby Lock, but the mechanical Jazz has a very low throat, and the few reviews I was able to find were not good.

That's an awesome idea!! The 201 has a very large harp. It would be wonderful for quilting!

So does a Featherweight have a side bobbin. The Juki might be the easiest to deal with since the cover folds up almost to the foot. I had to remove the bobbin cover on the Brother 1500 as I couldn't get at it. The Juki is sitting in a SewEzi table and no problems whatsoever.

I'm back and I've bought one. A Juki TL 2200 QUP mini. I got £100 off the price and some extra bobbins, 10 in total. It's getting delivered on Wednesday . I also purchased machine quilter frame, just the 6ft but it has the capability of buying extra poles to extend it. shop.machinequilter.co.uk. I won't be getting that until about mid September and have the option of collecting it (about a 3 hour drive away) and she shows me how to set it up, get the tension correct and have a play for about 3 hours so I'm comfortable with how it works so "it doesn't just sit in the corner " quote from Martha lady who was selling the frames. I'm so looking forward to it, I had a little play with the set up and felt really comfortable so can't wait to get started. I'll be watching out for more posts to aid me. Thanks
