Juki long arm
 

Juki TL-2200 QVP Quilt Virtuoso Pro Long Arm 18x10" Quilting Machine

I was at a quilt show and most recently purchased an inexpensive long arm without any gadgets
I saw this long arm and fell in love with it, it is easy to use.
It is not in my budget now but I was very impressed with it and the all inclusive price of the frame, sttitch regulator and machine was enticing...

For those of you who are Juki fans I thought I would introduce you

Did you happen to take a picture. Thank you for the heads up, I am looking for one and like Juki brand.

I will have to research this one, I love Juki's!

here's a link http://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/juki-tl-2200qvp.php
wow, there's not too much bulk to the machine, leaving more room for the quilt.

Looks like a pretty cool machine!

I'm going to have to look this up also!!! I love my Juki TL-98Q!!!

I just tried this machine out at my LQS yesterday. It is SO awesome. I'd just about be tempted to sell my car to get one, but then I wouldn't be able to get to the quilt shop for lessons!!!!

Wow, it looks awesome! I wish I had the money and space for a larger machine. I just ordered the Juki TL-2010Q and hope that I love it as much as everyone else loves theirs!

I was seriously considering this machine, but they delayed the release date for so long that finally I decided to go with another brand. In the end, it was the right decision for me because of the excellent dealer service and training I'm receiving. If I already knew how to use a long arm though, this machine would probably have been quite tempting. It has the dead bar (extra take up) so you don't have to adjust the bar as the quilt rolls. It has a higher throat than most 18" machines so there's more room for the quilt to roll, really good lighting and it automatic scissors.

I suspect they'll offer a great initial pricing deal when they finally do hit the market.

I'm a new owner of a Juki 600 and I can't believe how great it is. I think if they made a machine with a 12" harp and the features of the 600 I would only own Juki's. If I ever branch into longarm that guy is on the top of my list.

I'm definitely checking this out at the AQS show in April. It appears that Juki, and their dealers are offering an intro price, which makes sense as this is their first domestic longarm. I luv, luv, luv Juki's!!! They know how to make machines. I have an industrial Juki--it's fabulous!!

You all should check out the website "Kathy's Quilt" for information and a video on the new longarm Juki. Lots of information on the site and she includes everything you might need for the machine.

Hi, I am SERIOUSLY thinking about buying the JUKI TL-2200QVP. There are not currently any good youtube videos about this machine and no one has any demonstration of the stitch regulation and no one has a video that you can watch showing it working. I would love to hear from anyone that has used this machine. Should I buy it? I can't get over the intro offer and I need to make my decision by the end of April 2013. JUKI goes with my "Kawaii" ness...

I am very UNimpressed by kathyquilts.com promotion of this machine. JUKI should hire me, I could make some really good youtube videos and really promote this machine.

Greetings to everyone!

My name is Christopher Dimos and I work for Sewing Machines Plus.com. I would love to work with each of you and discuss this new Juki. It is a phenomenal machine with a steel frame, adjustable front handle bars, and the only machine on the market with thread cutters.

I look forward to hearing from you and you may call 1-800-401-8151 and ask for my extension: 119.

Have a wonderful day!

Warm regards,
Christopher

Awaiting delivery juki QVP
 

I ordered it at local quilt show at a great discount and they through in the back handles. Paid shipping but no tax. It arrives EOM. I'll post update after I get it assembled and running. Can't wait.

I can't wait to hear all about it! I just love my Juki 2010q and F600 so this would be my next BIG step someday...

So, has anyone bought this machine yet? it looks so awesome. I have a 17" Bailey which I like a lot, but so many features of the Juke make me want one.

New Juki Longarm
 

I just recently bought the new Juki longarm and I love it. I have it up and running. It is rather easy to put together (my daughter helped me). I love the stitch regulator and it has lighting on the handles which you can adjust for comfort. I love everything about it especially the price because it was more in my price range. I got it for the introductory price. Love this machine.

Hi Bonnie, I bought the Juki last Friday and still am not able to get the tension set correctly. Any tips?
Bonnie G.

I do not have the juki long arm, but I have the Juki HZLF 300 DSM. I love this machine. I would recommend a Juki sewing machine to anyone. Does anyone know if they make an embroidery machine? Also do they make the sit down long arm like the sweet sixteen machine?

I bought my juki long arm here. I was impressed with the knowledgable sales people! Then I got the machine. Woo Hoo Whatr an impressive massive thing. I got the 12 foot frame and it did take some leveling. But it glides so easily. I have problems with my back and will be seated so the 2 rails being vertical on the front means not having to stretch over 6 inches just to get to the quilting surface. It's on a frame from Grace specially made for this machine. The stitch regulator is also made by Grace. It was extremely straight forward in assembly. There is a DVD and good instructions. The holes are machined so you don't fiddle with matching nuts and washers up and dropping them I did not have to pay for someone to come put it together, you know how much they charge for that. And shipping was free. And the financing was 0% And no I do not work for either Sewing Machines Plus or Grace. Talk to them they do some great deals. They had everything I wanted and it was a great price.

I just ran across a post in another group about the Juki longarm. Apparently the Juki foot is ***not*** totally compatible with 1/4" thick rulers. Rulers work on 3 sides of the foot, but there is not enough space on the right side where the foot is attached to the presser bar. Plus, Juki made no provision for attaching a ruler table (necessary for when doing ruler work). Apparently Juki added a thread cutter because quilters were asking for one, but then failed to provide a means of doing the ruler work that most longarm owners expect to be able to do.

Now, this is all hearsay, but it would be well worth checking out before purchasing.

Love my Juki 2200QVP!

Love mine!

RI finally got the QVP up and running. It's great although I don't have much to compare to. The assembly wasn't too bad, but I have u even floors that took some finesse to get the machine level which is essential. I loaded my leaders, and batting, backing and top and was quilting away in minutes! The bobbin case is a bit tricky to set in as it takes an added click. I remember having to do this on another brand so I wasn't too frustrated. The only negative thing was I set the frame up as a 7 ft not allowing for the width of the machine on either side, so instead of having 84 inches for quilting, there is only 70 which does a twin size but not a queen. Looks like I will reconfigure it for the queen after I finish the quilt that is on it. In retrospect, if I had known this, I wouldn't have purchased the 2 ft extension package as I don't think I like the limitations of the 7ft. Frame. The Juki is a dream to work with. I downloaded the PDF manual in order to get the small pieces assembled and the threading instructions. They send a PC version do a CD with this on it, but I use Mac so had to find it on the web.

So after a 10k renovation on my basement, I'm finally set up and stitching away on my bargain priced Virtuoso QVP 2200 system. (My husband didn't think it was such a bargain after doing the renovation, haha!)

I purchased a Juki TL2200QVP. I'm really excited about it, it has a lot of super features. The thing i found is that the instruction manuals and information are lacking. I would like to have some sort of information such as how do I attach the leaders properly? How do I thread the machine? Basic things that I don't know since I'm new at longarming and this machine is brand new. I've searched online and cant seem to find any info. and the only pamplets that I have are for assembly that came in the boxes. I live near SewingMachinesPlus.com store and so I will drive down and see what I can find out there.

If anyone has a link to the users manuals I'd appreciat that, thanks.

Juki is also coming out with a 18" sit down machine this spring. The stand up machine is awesome and much cheaper than other framed systems so I'm sure their sit down will also be as nice. I have a sit down Lizzie which I do like but had that Juki been out when I purchased my machine, I probably would have jumped at it... I love my Juki 2000 so I'm sure that sit down would have found a nice home here...

Hello everyone,
I bought a Juki 2200 6 months ago and have had nothing but trouble. I have been sewing for many years; quilting for 3 years. There is a DVD with instructions on setting up the machine - no problem. The instructional manual on how to actually use the machine is worthless! If there is a problem you have to call the technician which I also found to be effective half the time. I have had tension problems (I use Superior thread for long arms, 40 wt.). The "thread cutter" is useless - sometimes it cuts the thread when I touch the "thread cutter" icon but sometimes nothing happens; sometimes when I touch the "thread cutter" the needle starts (in place) at an incredible speed. When the "thread cutter" actually cuts it leaves the bobbin thread so short that the needle will not pick it up to begin sewing again so I have to stop the machine, remove the bobbin, pull the bobbin thread out a bit, reinsert the bobbin and start again. Needless to say I do not use the so-called "thread cutter". This brings another difficulty - it is very very difficult to bring the bobbin thread up to the top of the quilt in order to tie/bury the thread the old fashioned way.

The computer monitor has been changed already as it is not always reliable (sometimes it changed the stitch function/style by itself - mid quilting).

The wheels for the tracks have been changed but there is still difficulty to move the machine head in particular directions - diagonal movement away from my body meets with resistance.

Of course, there is one dealer in my vicinity but when I called for there help they were quite upset about these machines being sold online when they cannot get one for their store nor have they been trained on them as yet. So no help there. When they do get trained since I bought it online (from a reputable online sewing/longarm machine dealer) I must pay a service charge.

The frame is very substantial and has a dead bar which is helpful. Grace makes the frame and has been very cooperative. Grace has sent new lock brackets to me as the current "locks" for the rollers (which hold the fabric in place) often do not actually hold the fabric with any tension.

The salespeople do seem very knowledgeable, but .... if you need help you get a technician who takes you in circles. The technician's basic platform is that whatever is not functioning right with the machine is the users fault

So, if you get up in the morning happy that you now have a longarm quilting system to use - beware, especially if you buy this machine online. "Buyer Beware". The online group I purchased my Juki 2200 from does not accept returns if it has been delivered by freight. Of course, due to the weight, they are all delivered by freight.

Always, always, always, buy a longarm from a local dealer who will be responsible and has pride in his/her products.

Uh Oh. Sounds like this might not be a great choice for the price!!
