For the love of JUKI!!!!!
 

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since I have been on here! But I had to share with all of you who truly care lol that I got a TL Juki 2010Q!! I could have kissed the UPS man when he showed up here Friday with it. I got this machine mostly for free motion quilting but now see it is just as capable for piecing! This machine is a workhorse for whatever you need it for! I have been trying to put this machine through its paces since getting it Friday, seriously trying to create nest under the fabric letting the needle gum up, moving the fabric super fast and super slow and not one time have I had a thread r needle break and no snags. Its just amazing I am in love that is all I have to say!!! The owners operation manual is kinda vague or at least I thought. I had to thread it a few times in order to completely understand the how to of it all. But once I did it was easy easy!! I love the simplicity of this machine! I am so excited because I have some quilt tops to get done, but am waiting for a batting order, I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I have went through 18, 18" quilt sandwiches and find myself dipping into my stash to make them so I just need to be patient lol!! Well thank you all for reading and I hope you have a lovely day, and anyone who has any questions about free motioning with there juki just ask!!! Take care all Kayla. My pics won't upload so I will try to add them to my page!

Congrats!! Here's to many years of happy quilting!

Sounds like you got a winner!

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new machine!!!! I'm sure you two will have lots of fun together!!

This is so good to hear. I have this same machine--brand new and have not yet tried it out. Got it to use on my Grace frame which I am afraid to tackle getting it all set up. Need motivation.

How exciting and congratulations , I watched a video on this machine , I like the simplicity of this machine and it looks like a workhorse . I added it to my " if I win some money list " LOL

Congrats and welcome to the Juki lovers club! I have the same machine and it has been perfect since I got it. No fussing w/tension, no birds nests, it loves many different kinds of thread and sews awesome! It does love oil and I put a few drops in each hole at the end of my sewing day.

Get that puppy set up!!!! It is soooooo simple! I set mine up with a three year old in my sewing room!! If I can tackle it so can u! It will be so worth it!!

We can only get the Juki TL98P over here in Europe and I became the proud owner of one just a couple of weeks ago. Now getting ready for a trip to the States so won't be doing much until I get back but I am looking forward to cultivating a good relationship with her! I am not too sure what the differences between the models are but I didn't have the option. I do hope you enjoy using your new baby as much as I intend enjoying mine.

Congrats on your new machine! That is the one I am looking into right now. I have a friend with one and she is letting me try it out on Tuesday. Did you order thru a dealer on online?

I bought mine online! It is the only machine I would do that with! You get some darn good deals! You will love it!! Your friend is awfully kind to let you play with her machine!!

I do feel lucky, I have my practice "fabric sandwiches" ready to go. I have several friends with Juki's, she is the only one who purchased recently enough to have a model still being made. I have looked for a used one for a while and they just don't come up that often. There are no close Juki dealers so, I can go anywhere.

I love my Juki TL98Q, I can't tell you how many quilts she's done...they are excellent machines!!!!

Julia are workhorses the manuals being vague is the most common complaint. I just / saw their sergers in action they were impressive

Congratulations! I know you are going to love love love your machine! I have the Juki 2000 (I decided the extra features of the 2010 were not worth the extra $$$ for me)
I love my Juki and several of my friends have either gotten or will be getting a Juki 2000/10 soon.
I will say that I did buy a few extra feet for my Juki - a 1/4" guide foot, a 1/4" foot with no guide (for doing those quick short cuts where you sew on the line or 1/4" away from the line) and a binding attachment. Love all of those. If you are interested in getting those, I got them from ngosew on Ebay.

Wide Edge Presser foot - 1/4"

I also got a bunch of bobbins on Ebay for next to nothing and an extra bobbin case.

Have fun with your machine!!

Thanks alot!! I got a ton of bobbins and needles with my purchase but yes I need a 1/4 in foot!! So thanks for the link!!!

I definitely recommend that seller. You will probably want to splurge and get both of those feet I mentioned. They are not very expensive so it's really worth it. I use both of them all the time. I tried two other sellers before that and got wonky feet that didn't fit right - they were crooked when put on! Who wants to piece slightly off? Not me.

Also... if you don't like binding quilts, check out the binding attachment. The top clean bottom raw one is perfect for 2 1/2" strips folded in half. I have a youtube video on using it if it helps. A few people asked me to do a video of it. I can bind a massive quilt in no time now.. I hate hand stitching. I used to glue baste the bindings and that was awesome until I got the binder attachment.

Yeah I just looked at the page it is a really good deal!! That's funny you hate hand stitching bindings cause that is my fave!! Lol too funny!! But I will watch the video it might be worth trying as far as like charity quilts or donation quilts!!thanks for all ur ideas it's awesome!! I posted a thread about something we as quilters wish to improve on, and I would live to hear what u would say!! So go post something!!! Lol have a great day!!

Here is a link to the video tutorial on YouTube. I know we aren't suppose to send you outside of the board but I don't know how to imbed a huge video. If it were a quick one I'd use the button here but it's a long video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTIQ7...WqELzH5svT-EYA

Congratulations. I know you will love it. I have it's first cousin, the Brother PQ1500 -- actually it's a clone of the Juki. I love it. Like you, I've never broken a needle or gotten a nest of thread underneath. While using some 20 years old Walmart thread the other day, I did have some thread breakage, but the thread was marked 5/$1.00, so certainly not quality. Do be sure to oil the machine regularly. I was advised by someone on this board to oil it with every 4th bobbin change. I've followed that advice and never had a problem.

I just ordered your machine's twin. I can't wait to meet her! :) I intend to name her Vivian after my late grandmother whose generous gift made her adoption possible.

Grandmas are the best!!! My grandma is so in my heart and determination when it comes to trying new things and even making mistakes with my hobby! I am glad your grandma could help you with your new friend!!

Where did you buy it on-line? My friend is currently looking for one of the newer Juki machines to use mainly for piecing (she has a long arm) but she is very much on a budget. I'm sure they are cheaper somewhere on-line than they are at the Dealers. That usually seems to be the case. I would love to share with her-where you got yours.

I bought mine through Amazon.com.

You can try Ken's. They ship and have great deals and throw a bunch of other stuff in too. http://www.kenssewingcenter.com/sewi...nes-c-210.html

I got mine on amazon through sewvacdirect if she wants a machine just for piecing I am sure they have cheaper models I got mine to quilt on.

Congratulations on your new machine! I bought one in January and LOVE it... I've yet to find anyone who doesn't. I also recommend that eBay seller for feet and bobbin cases.
