I’ve been practicing with the needle threader, I have to change my angle and look at it from the side on the last part to get it to work.
|
Another thing with the needle threader is to make sure it is pressed all the way down, and keep it all the way down as you bring the thread straight forward under the metal piece(don't know what to call it, but it's key to bring the thread under it for getting the thread thru the needle) and then guide the thread to the right. It will naturally want to go in the slit, slot, valley etc.(again don't know what to call it) then slowly release the threader and the thread should go through the needle. Hope this helps. Once you get it you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.:D I don't think the manual emphasized enough about that metal piece directly down from the last thread guide.

So happy for you! You're gonna have years of fun with your new toy.

Pamela, I have bought a used Juki 2200 QVP and feel really dumb that I dont undestand how to use the bobbin winder. The instructions are really skimpy. Also, what thread do you recommend using for quilting on this machine?
|
Don’t feel dumb! The manual isn’t that easy to follow. Is there a juki dealer near where you live? I’m sure they would show you how to wind a bobbin if you asked. Also might be able to find a YouTube on how to wind a bobbin...
ive been using MSQC and aurifil and so far it’s been working well. .

Thanks for the thread suggestions. I have just rethreaded with some Aurifil and it isn't sewing very pretty but I will do some more practice. My husband had no trouble at all with the bobbin winder. Sometimes I am a total klutz. HA

Pamela, I can answer this I think. I add 2-3 drops for about every 8 hours of sewing. I watched a Leah Day video about this and she was using my machine ( TL2010Q). I would guess that as long as your Juki is like mine, and I believe you said it was, that you won't go wrong with 2-3 drops.
Hope this helps! I work on mechanical machines. 2-3 drops per 8 hours for an average sewist’s machine is alot/too much. Over-oiling a machine can happen. Stick w 1 drop per oil hole. Oil when your machine starts sounding clanky (dry) as opposed to usage hours since everyone’s machine usage varies. |
How are you liking your Juki? I'm thinking of buying one, but wonder about the prior model TL-2200QVP. Any thoughts? Thanks, Barbara, Portland

I’m liking it! I need to figure out the tension on it, but I have faith I will be able to.
|
Thanks. I will be sure to examine the tension before I purchase. It seems like a great machine. Barb
