I bought the new Juki long arm, the 2200QVPs (sit down). I am really enjoying it. I have had a 2010Q for several years, which is what I learned to FMQ on. So when it was time for a long arm I stayed with Juki. Love both of my machines.

I too am interested in this machine. The LQS here also said it needs to be pre-ordered to see it. What? I have TL2010Q and HZL-F600. The new one is at $3K. This is a must see and must play with for that money. Not a good selling strategy. A bit disappointed

I've been a Janome girl since 2003 when I switched from Elna after 38 years. I have a Juki and would not do without it Ever!. Mine is not computerized (2010), so it might not be comparable to the new Juki, but I Love it dearly. Why do I Love it sooooo much? Quality, simplicity, reliability, speed and power!

I have 2010Q and F600 love them both. Stich quality is the best even accurate 2010 great for free motion and ruler work. Is good with all threads so far. Have owned both machines over 5 years.

MsMaz I have theJuki 2200 mini which I believe is very much like the 2010 that you have. I bought this a month or so ago and have slowly become friends with her. I still have thread breaks with the Juki ruler foot I ordered with it. I took it back to the dealer and after a hour and half came to the conclusion it’s the foot. There is a adjustment on it but not sure which way to adjust it. Have you any experience with this? I would appreciate any suggestions thank you.

It is called the Juki HZL-NX7 'Kirei' and is supposed to be aimed at the Janome 9400 or better machines.. The promo really doesn't cover much detail so I guess we will see.. As for "Why do you love your Juki" question - I have the TL2200QVP Mini (the next generation TL2010) and it's a straight stitch only machine that is as solid as can be.. mechanical.. heavy.. accurate.. reliable.. fantastic FMQ'ing.. It's my go-to machine and I recently purchased a Janome 8900 that is great for any extra stitches I might want but I always find myself sewing on the Juki. Christine Edited: I must also add that the new machine referenced above is a computerized machine, perhaps an upgrade to the existing Juki HZL machines and will likely have an entirely different feel than the TL2000/TL2010/TL2200 straight stitch machine that I have. |

I guess the appeal of this new machine would depend on which machines you already have. Juki would make me very, very happy, if they came out with a straight-stitch mechanical machine, with a harp of, say, 13 in. x 6 in. high. That would be somewhere in between the TL2010Q and the sit-down TL2200QVP. |
I have a Juki TL98QE. 9" throat, I love it because it is hard working. I got it in 2008, never been in the shop, very dependable. Like any thread. I keep it cleaned and oiled.

I have a question about FMQ on your Juki straight stitch. How do you do that?
I've had thread breaks but I'm certain when this happens it's due to drag on my quilt top. I will periodically get a few skipped stitches but find it's just Juki reminding me to clean out the bobbin area. I think the Juki operates fabulously so long as you keep the entire bobbin/thread areas clean, change your needle regularly and she likes to be oiled! If you're a bit remiss on any of these then she will let you know so you can take care of it and move right along. I hope that's what you were asking :) Please feel free to PM me if there's something else I can share.. Hopefully, I'm doing things right - so far so good :) Christine P.S. For all of you much more seasoned quilters please, please, please, share any suggestions you may have, as well. I'm very eager to learn how to do this better myself! P.S.S. I just finished quilting my On Ringo Lake mystery quilt that I enlarged to 95" x 95" and had no problems. Now if I could just finish hand-binding it so I can share a picture. |
