JUKITL-2000Qi Sewing and Quilting Machine

Game Changer for quilting!!! I personally think for myself this is the perfect choice! So many straight stitch machines on the market, but I am in love with this Juki TL 2000 QI. If there are any cons it would be, it needs to come with a FMQ foot. It is fast the light is bright and the machine is super quiet! It switches from regular straight stitch to Free Motion effortlessly. I love that the feed dog switch is right on the front of the machine. The automatic threader and thread cutter wasn’t something I thought I needed, now I know I was wrong. It isn’t something I can live without now! Thank you Juki and Amazon for an amazing machine at an affordable price!

If I could give this 10 stars I would! Love love love this machine! So much so, I bought two! I bought one of these, then a week later I bought a second one and a Grace quilt frame to use one of them one.What is so great about this machine? It's substantial. It's heavy duty and a workhorse. There is no plastic, it weighs a lot if that is a concern for you. It has an all metal body and components. This machine goes fast if you want it to, it responds extremely quickly, you want it to speed up, or slow down it's like johnny on the spot. There is no wearing this machine out. I sew daily and put machines through their paces and this one is up to that challenge. It's pretty. All bright white, super clean looking. Visibility is fantastic. The head of the machine is tapered, look at the pic. That tapered head provides an unimpeded view of your project. This is great, because so many machines now have so many electronics the head of the machine is huge... which hides your project. Free Motion Quilting on this machine is easy due to this tapered head and visibility. PERFECT stitches, this machine does one this... straight stitch, but it does it perfectly. You can't mess this up, if you are doing free motion, it just does it perfectly. You know how so many machines will make long stitches, eyelash tension problems or break thread when trying to do FMQ, and it's so hard to get tension right? Well, not with this baby. Listen, I have done FMQ with this machine and it's MADE for this task. First, the knob on top of the head is to adjust the pressure foot pressure, which means that I can even FMQ using the regular piecing foot if I want to. (and I have). I have had no problems with tension or eyelashing.. this machine just makes FMQ simple. The thread holder, is fabulous, no tangles no trouble. And I just leave a spool on the second spindle set up for winding bobbins all the time, so I don't have to unthread the needle. It's quiet for a machine. The auto thread cutter is amazing! You rock your foot back, it cuts. Not only does it cut with a push of your foot, it leaves the tiniest tail! And it starts sewing perfectly every time. So, there is no trimming long tails, and no having to take the bobbin out to lengthen the thread to get it to start again like other machines can often do.. it catches the tails and starts again every time. I love that if I use the cutter button, I have a tiny quarter inch tail left. No trimming to do and it saves thread. I love that I can cut the thread with my FOOT! The knee lifter also means that you can cut and lift without ever taking your hands off the machine. You don't have to lift the pressure foot by hand, or push the cut button by hand.I just can't find anything "wrong" with this machine. The lighting could be better but it is not bad and it's WAY better than my Elna and Brother machines, so while more light would be great it's got more lighting than most machines. You DO have to oil this machine each time you use it. BUT in my world that is a plus, not a detriment. Why? Because it allows you to service your machine, know its lubricated properly. These self lubed machines eventually suffer problems and you can't do it yourself, you have to take the machine for service.I am shocked at the low price of this machine for the joy of using it. It's the best machine that I have ever owned and it's the cheapest. I have a 6,000.00 Elna, which does not hold a candle to this Juki, though the Elna of course does all the fancy stuff, zig zag, embroidery etc. But I despise actually sewing on the Elna because of the large head and poor lighting.How about the one on the Grace SR2 Frame... it's as great as it is on the sewing table. Just simple, just works, just no problems.If you are a quilter, and you want the PERFECT QUARTER INCH SEAM, this is the machine for that. If you are a quilter and you want simple, perfect, easy, reliable, joyful, sewing... this is the machine for that. This machine is a PARTNER, not a tool. It's truly a quilter's partner. I wish I had gotten one of theses years ago. You would have NEVER convinced me that a machine could improve my quilting after 20 years of experience, but this machine has made my quilts crisper and better. People think I am crazy, they say... but .. but.. it only does a straight stitch.. who wants just a straight stitch machine... then they use it and buy one.

I've been a quilter for about 20 years. I had an expensive machine with all the bells and whistles. For the last few years, it's been a struggle and a constant frustration. Repeated (expensive) trips to the sewing machine shop for maintenance and cleaning. It occurred to me that in 20 years, I've only ever done anything other than straight stitch about 3 times. So I decided to try this semi-industrial straight stitch machine. Life changing! Suddenly, I enjoy sewing again! It does one thing, but it does it to perfection. It is absolutely perfect for piecing and clothes alterations. Highly recommend this machine if all you need is to stitch straight.

The sewing’s machine came defect. Amazon take care on the whole situation. Thank you so much

I love this machine. I bought it for quilting. But I have a huge issue with the the foot pedal. I bought this machine in September 2024. Only used it to practice my free motion quilting. Then I decided to use it to piece some blocks for a quilt. Sewed like a dream for the first section of my blocks. I took a break & then went back to finish the blocks. Every time I’d press on the front of the pedal it would cut my thread. I did some research & found that they make a little rubber piece that goes on the back of the foot pedal. I ordered one. It came a couple days ago. Worked great for 4 blocks. Then it started cutting the thread again & will not sew a seam at all! If I can get this issue fixed I’ll be a happy camper. I bought this machine to be able to do free motion quilting. I can’t quilt an entire quilt on my Brother machine as the throat space is too small! Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Overall I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s a powerful, sturdy machine. I love the knee release and the automatic cutting button. If you’re doing a lot of sewing, these are really nice features. I think the value is great for a machine that can handle heavy duty, thick and many layer sewing.I still find it necessary to own a separate, basic machine that can do zigzag and button holes, but I do all my straight stitching on this Juki.My one problem was the foot pedal, which seems to be common with this machine. Mine started failing after about 3 months of daily sewing. When pressed, it would automatically cut, and not move forward with stitching OR it would move forward very erratically. I managed to contact Juki and send it in to have it repaired under warranty. Make sure to register your machine with them when you get it. Contacting Juki and finding the right place to send it was a little bit of work, but once I sent in my foot pedal, it was returned within a month. I’ve only had it a few days, but it’s working great.Definitely love this machine.
