JUKI TL-2010Q/CE 1-NEEDLE LOCKSTITCH PORTABLE SEWING MACHINE WITH AUTOMATIC THREAD TRIMMER FOR QUILTING TAILORING APPAREL AND HOME DECOR

It it amazing! I’ve had a few regular Singers, Brothers, and the last two were Janomes; nothing comes close to this machine. First, it is heavy. It’s 38 pounds of durable, quality aluminum. It sits solidly on my table. There is almost no vibration as I cranked the speed to the max. My latest Janome weighs 12.8 pounds. I had to check because it’s me. Second, the speed! It took almost an hour for me to adjust. I cannot imagine going back to a regular domestic machine. I pieced a quilt top in less than half the usual time for a familiar pattern. Once you adjust to the speed, projects whip together in record time. Third, the power. Wow! It plowed through all the layers of my grandson's quilt with ease. I had a cotton top, Warm and Natural middle, and cotton backing. There was no hesitation, drag, or feeling that it was a struggle. There is NO comparison to my previous machines. I haven’t tried leather or canvas, but I’m sure it would sew without any problems. Fourth, the quality of the stitch. On any stitch length, every stitch was perfect. No skipping, no variation because it was pulling fabric through, nothing but perfection. This is a straight stitch only machine. I use it primarily for piecing and quilting, plus the occasional clothing repair. You must oil it every time you use it. Cheap thread with deposit lint throughout the head, so prepare to clean it regularly. Some bits are different than a regular machine, such as the needle mounts with the flat edge to the right, not the back. The bobbin also enters from the left, not center front. It’s not a big deal, just different. Threading is somewhat different too. Pull up some videos and you’ll be fine. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I’ve not tried the auto threader. If you’re on Facebook, there are multiple Juki groups; join as many as you can. It is a wonderful resource of helpful people. This is the high speed sewing machine of your dreams. I would talk anyone into buying it. If you’re a serious sewing person, you will truly appreciate the quality of this machine.

Julio puts out great sewing machines, and I always wanted one. It has speed, love the bobbin threader, how it sits along side the regular thread . Great value for the money excellent machine

Love love love. Best machine I have ever had. Great quality, delivered on time, smooth operation,

I got this machine for no-frills sewing and for quilting. I have a BabyLock for the fancy stuff. Both machines are fantastic for what they do. I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to get the Juki threaded - it's really different from any thing I've used before - but thanks to YouTube and Juki Junkies videos I got it figured out. It is NOT difficult, just different. Once that hurdle was crossed, I fell in love! This sweet machine will tackle any thing I put in front of it. I do some fairly thick quilts and my Juki never skips a stitch. It is a powerful machine that can tackle any project. If you want to do fancy stuff, this one will be a disappointment, but if you want a strong machine that can sew all kinds of fabric (even leather!) this is the machine for you...and if you want fast - oh my gosh! It is a speed demon and again, it never skips a stitch. Just the best machine ever!

Sewing machine was packaged well and arrived quickly. Very happy with its quality and ease of use! Great value for the amount of money paid.
