JUKI2010q Sewing and Quilting High Speed Semi-Industrial Machine

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.

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!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The Juki Sewing Machine is a Work Horse. Goes through thick fabrics.

This is a powerhouse machine. I love it!! Sews great and fast. Not a machine for sissy’s. I put 8 fold fabric through just to try and it was no problem

This machine is so fast, and so easy to use, I LOVE it!! I have several sewing machines ranging from antique to computerized (O.k., 7 🙄🤣) and this Juki is by far my favorite. It’s metal so it’s very sturdy and doesn’t bounce around on the table when I hit the high speeds. It reminds me of the sturdiness of the heavy duty antique machines with the quietness of the new models. When quilting my quilt, I lowered the feed dogs, set the speed limit lower, and kept my foot pedal all the way down. It was so much easier only having to worry about moving the quilt under the presser foot and not having to worry about keeping my foot in the exact spot to keep the needle speed steady. WOW! What a difference! I will soon be purchasing some accessories (even feed foot especially) and I will rarely need to use my computerized machine. I do quilting and garment construction and this machine is great for both! Buying from Juki Junkies was a great decision! I saw feedback about other companies that didn’t have very good customer service reviews, so I went with Juki junkies. Upon unboxing the machine I noticed the automatic needle threader was broken (manufacturer packaging). I immediately contacted Juki Junkies and they had a replacement in the mail right away (and this during a hurricane!). I would absolutely buy from Juki Junkies again, and can’t say enough good things about this sewing machine!
