Is this the best iron you'll ever own??
I have two Jukis. One is the DX 7 which is perfect for traveling with. I love that it has a slider tab that you can cover the edges of the sewing slot so it becomes a single stitch plate. My other Juki is the DX 3000 qvp and it’s amazing! It has a dual drop down feed which is awesome for quilting and binding. It has 12 inches of throat space. I don’t like how it FMQs though😢. But it’s great for straight quilting. I love both can be made to cut and raise the foot when you press the cutter, or other options can be made on the pedal. I agree their walking feet suck. 😂. But the drop down dual feed is amazing.
Thank you for this video ✌️🙃🧐🫶🫶🫶🫶
My pleasure 😊
Hi …loved your video ….i too have the Juki 2010…I agree it’s a power house….but I’ve had some issues with the automatic thread cutter…which for me can be a deal breaker. I’ve used thus feature from the machine itself..little scissor button…it causes jamming in my machine…Very fruststing…so I’ve just stopped using that feature…disappointing but no longer have jamming! Just thought about your comments..maybe I will try using the peddle to cut my threads…hoping this works! Also what type of thread do you prefer? I’ve been told to ONLY use Glide thread (Juki Junkies)which is an embroidery thread in both the bobbin and top. I’ve been using that but not always do I want a shinny decorative thread. I Would appreciate your thoughts on thread recommendations….i sew on many different machines…teaching the craft as well…but this machine is new to me and I’m a bit confused by a few things…thread choice…cutter…and also the extra lift…which everyone seems to brag about…is it normal that I can just use the extra lift when my knee lift is engaged? Without the knee lift..I can barely get anything slightly thicker under the foot? Would really appreciate some input on these issues…getting a bit frustrated….happy sewing to you!🩷
I'm sorry to hear that your thread cutter is giving you trouble - that sounds super frustrating! Have you contacted your dealer about the issue? I use Aurifil 50 wt cotton thread in my Juki and have never had any issues with it (or any type of thread I've used). As far as I know, the Juki TL series doesn't have an extra high foot lift (at least mine doesn't). My Janome does have this feature which is really nice for bag making, but I tend to make all my bags with my Juki (and just shove the layers under the foot). Happy sewing!
Steam…. I don’t use it so I have a question. Do you have to pre shrink before cutting to use steam after? I love your video!
I don't pre-wash my fabrics. Ever. If I'm worried a colour will bleed in the wash, I throw a couple of Color Catchers in the machine. ❤
Lesson was very interesting.❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it! ❤
Great tutorial thank you .. 😂
You're welcome! ❤
You are good teacher ❤
Thank you! 😃
Boni Hunter is a great quilter, i agree.
Beautiful pattern ❤
I love my Juki TL2010Q!
Funny how the use of the word "scraps" is so different for all of us. The stack of fabric chunks you picked up and called your scraps, to me would be huge chunks of fabric. My scraps are random pieces that are quite tiny by comparison.
Yes, I love how different we all are - the world would be pretty boring if we were all the same! ❤
Whats the nsme of your online shop?
My shops name (as well as some others) are in the video description. 👍
I would like to get a Juki, can't decide between 2010 or 18qvp, i make alot of baby quilts, and wash cloth bibs. Any advice?
I'm not familiar enough with the differences between the two machines, but I'll bet there are a lot of comparison videos out there. I'd start by searching the Juki Junkies channel. 👍
One of the reasons I watch your channel: really good camera Work and beautiful lighting.
Great overview video. I've been looking at the Janome machines....love to have that throat space!! Thank you so much for the video.... very helpful 😊
You are so welcome! ❤
Man, I was really thinking to get the Juki this fall but I want to be able to quilt with it! I’ve heard the Juki walking foot sucks, I know somewhere I saw somebody got a different brand walking foot to use with it. But I’d love to not have to swap out. But, budget and space. Grrr. So frustrating!
There are a LOT of people who are able to quilt on their Juki no problem! ❤
OMG! I have exactly the same 2 machines plus a small brother sewing/embroidery machine and i love them all 😍
Twinsies! 👬
Oh that’s how you do it! I ruined one of my cutting mats by putting my wool pressing mat on top thinking it wouldn’t press through. Wrong, thank goodness it was only a small cutting mat. I’ll have to try the silicone mat technique. 👌🏻
It's such an easy fix! ❤
It's interesting, we have the same two primary machines. My difference is I kept my little beginner Brother for classes, as it's so much lighter
I have a 6700p and have learned to love it. It had a habit of throwing thread out of the takeup lever and jamming, was driving me absolutely crazy. My machine tech swapped the lever for a closed hole type and it’s been perfect ever since.
Oh wow, I'm glad you were able to make it work! ❤
I use my juki TL 2000qi for piecing & binding, my juki dx7 for garment sewing, and my babylock coronet longarm for quilting. I also love my juki serger/coverstitch combo machine ❤
I like the compensating foot for binding on my TL-2000qi
Haha, there's no such thing as too many machines! ❤
I ❤the analogy you use with the coffee mugs, that was just perfect! 👍😎
Right?! Why does my tea taste better out of this one mug??? ☕
Great video! I just received the Janome MC 6700P as a retirement gift from my sweet family. I still have and will never give up my 30 year old New Home that still performs beautifully on garment sewing. I wanted the Janome mostly for quilting so I was happy to hear all the reasons you loved it. I can’t wait to become best friends with it. There are a ton of CZcams tutorials on how to use it but you explain things well so I will sure let you know if I need any help or have a particular challenge!
Wishing you and your Janome a happy life together!!! ❤
Thank you for this very informative video about how you use each machine for the various quilting steps. As you stated, we’re all different in our likes and dislikes. I used to own a Janome 6700P and found the Accufeed Flex System to be cumbersome and annoying to set up! I’ve always loved Pfaff’s IDT system for even feeding the top and bottom layers, so I traded my Janome 6700P with a lady who had a newer Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.2 that she’d bought for quilting but wished she’d bought the 6700P because it’s such a workhorse. We were both very happy with our decisions and never looked back. I’ve owned my Juki TL-2200 QVP Mini since they first started selling them in 2016, and it’s my workhorse for everything quilting, including FMQ king-sized quilts. No regrets at all with that purchase. I paid $899 for it in 2016.
OMG, what a great trade - everyone gets what they want! Love this! ❤
@@GayleHallAZ I have the Pfaff quilt expression 4.2. It is a quality machine. I love the IDT even feed dog system. I use it for putting in zippers, fancy stitches but piece on my Juki TL 2010Q because it’s fast and I LOVE the thread cutter on the heel strike 🙌
I have a brother and the nicest thing I can say is it SUCKS! I know what your saying.
Oh, I don't think there's anything wrong with Brother machines as a whole... Just the one I had! 😆
Lovely video, I own both of these machine that you presented to us. But I have purchased a Brother BQ 1350 and Brother BQ 3100 and love, love, love them both. Because they both sew beautiful and is very user friendly. I left my Janome 6700P at the Dealer on consignment hoping it will sell if not then I will use it as a travel machine or give it to my daughter or grand daughter. It’s a great machine, but it was not user friendly for me. Having to go through that little screen to find whatever. And never was able to save any stitch to recall for later. But my Juki it’s a keeper I love it. I have had it for about 6 years now. And I also have a GAMMILL Longarm Vision 22 retro fit w/Elevate. But, love the way your binding looked by machine. Wanting to know if you will consider doing a video step by step explaining your process. I love how you did not have a lot of excess on the backside of your quilt. Thanks in advance.
Wishing you luck selling your machine! ❤
I own the "twin" of each of these machines...the Singer S18 and the Singer S16. Although I'm not a fan of the Singer brand, I just couldn't pass these two machines up as they are nearly identical to these brand names and were a fraction of the price. If you ever come across either of these Singer machines....buy it!!
I have a Juki TL 18QVP. It is amazing,. I sew heavy duty items like bags with waxed canvas, several layers are no problem for it! Piecing is a dream. Better still, I have done free motion quilting without a single flaw! I always use a top stitch needle and polyester thread for strength. It's a fantastic machine.
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Just curious - have you ever tried reducing the pressure foot pressure on your Juki when quilting or binding? I found that made a huge difference in fabric bunching.
Sure did! I tried literally everything under the sun. It just won't quilt nicely for me. 🤷
I have a brother pq1500sl straight stitch and I love love love piecing on that machine. I have been searching for my other machine that does all the stitches without frustration and I am current sewing on the elna elnita ef72. It's been a good experience so far!
Love that you've got some machines that make you happy! ❤
I have a Janome MC6500.... and LOVE it!!! I was tempted to buy a Juki.... but wanted to have the option of some specialty stitches. Listening to what you have to say about your experiences.... I think the Janome was the best choice! :-) I like the "glue basting, stitch in the ditch" method of binding.... hand stitching takes waaaaaay to much time....lol!
Haha, I still hand stitch a lot of my quilts, but when I'm in a rush I like to glue baste! 👍
I love my Juki TL. A true work horse. I bought mine in May 2020. But I do struggle with quilting on it.
There are a lot of us out there who struggle with quilting on our Jukis. 😆
I have a Babylock Accomplish which looks almost exactly like your Juki. Same features: straight stitch only, same all metal body, same bottoms on front, etc. my other machine is a Babylock Allegro which also has a great walking foot etc. weird about Juki being in Winnipeg which is my home town. I’m somehow assuming you’re in either Steinbach or Brandon. 🙋🏻♀️
Yes, there are a number of machines that all seem to be exactly the same model (but from different brands). And nope, not in any city - just in rural Manitoba.🌾
Juki Junkies also sell Janome machines!
Yes, but on a different website. 👍
I have that Janome as well as a brother laminar for embroidery.
I have had a brother that only sews a straight stitch since 2004 love it. But also have Bernina and a janome
Love me a straight stitch machine! 🙌
Hello everyone, I'm wondering whether I should get the Janome HD9 or a Juki from the TL series. I would like to sew leather and jeans, so thick fabrics:)
I'm not sure if I'd recommend either model for sewing leather (I'd suggest a full industrial machine for that). But there are a lot of videos and blog posts out there comparing these two machines. Give it a google and see what you think!
The Juki DNU 1541 is great for leather and canvas
@@rsplatt100 I spontaneously googled it again today and came across this one. I would have space, of course the machine is a bit more expensive than the HD9 from Janome. But I also think that the Juki DNU 1541 would be the better choice
Great way to organize your sewing to avoid mistakes. I will give it a try. I've sewed the wrong edges on many squares in the past. I've just discovered your channel and I'm a fan already. Your teaching style is great! Can't wait for more bag videos.
Thanks so much for the kind comments - I'm glad you're enjoying the channel! ❤
Holy cow I have just found your channel!!!! I looooove your machines (I have a similar set up but with Brother machines, the PQ1600 and VQ2) and I loooooove your quilt style. gotta go, need to binge watch all your videos :D.
Welcome aboard - so glad to have you here! ❤
My juki binds beautifully
I believe you - I know there are a lot of people who can use their Juki from start to finish on their quilting projects. I'm just not one of them. 😥
Such good explanation on both. Super good information delivery! Sure would like to change my Brother for the Janome 🤔
I have a Juki TL 2000Qi
Glad it was helpful! ❤
I pressed to the side for years. Tried pressing flat and I love it! Everything is much flatter and no decisions as to whether to press this or that direction. Occasionally I will press to the side if it's an issue of bulk with complicated seams.
I'm the opposite of you - I pressed open for years until I tried pressing to the side and now I'm in love! ❤
Have you tried loosening your presser foot pressure when you use multiple layers on your Juki. It sounds like it might be too tight to handle the extra layers.
I tried everything. You'll just have to trust me when I say that this machine simply will NOT quilt without tucks and puckers. Oddly, it can sew through the many many layers when I make bags! 🤷
Do you use your Juki for bag making?
I sure do! I used it for every step of the process (except the quilting), and it does really well with super thick layers. It's a beast! 💪
I have a very similar setup. My Juki is the TL98. I’ve had it forever, and like yours, it just keeps going. I can’t see myself ever giving it up. My Janome is the Continental M8. I really like this machine. It’s my first Janome. The Accufeed is great, the stitch quality is great and I have a lot of throat space. There’s a lot of metal in the machine. In some ways it reminds me of the Juki. I also have a longarm, but I can use the Janome to quilt projects if I want to.
Omg, we almost have an identical sewing machine lineup!! ❤
Do you get a full 1/4" or a scant 1/4” with the Presser Foot w/Guide on your Juki? I have the same Juki and i love it! I guess i lucked out because my walking foot works great.😊 Thank you for this great information!
That's awesome that your walking foot works well! 🙌 The Janome 1/4" foot that I purchased for my Juki is indeed a scant 1/4". Perfect blocks, every time!
@@matantequiltingFantastic! I’m ordering it immediately! Thanks!
My other machine is also a Janome, which i love! Not the Master Craft, its the HD 5000. Great mechanical machine. 😊
I have a Janome that needs to be “adjusted” for$100.00 each time. Today I watched a video of someone repairing a tricky problem on a featherweight. It took him a long long time to figure out how to fix the problem. When people have a persistent problem I believe the repair person is not persistent about fixing it. For my machine it goes out of “adjustment” for a reason. It is not my fault or the machine’s. It is like finding a good vet for my dog.That took four years!
You can buy Jukis in Canada from Troll Brothers Quilt Designs as well. They are located in BC in Vancouver Island.
Whaaaaaat? This is big news to me! I did some research prior to this video but I was clearly wrong. Anyone else know of any Juki dealers across Canada that sell TL machines? Please share them here!
I have a Juli TL-2010q and LOVE it! What thread do you use with yours?
Twinsies! 👯 I use Aurifil 50 wt for piecing. 👍
