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!

this is the perfect sewing machine for all my quilting The spacious areas have allowed me to quilt a king size quilt in a day The piecing of quilt blocks is very easily done with accurate seams It is all metal and will definitely last me the rest of my lifetime I could not be more pleased with the machine

I like the structure of the machine. Nice and solid and slim. Not large and bulky. Sews beautifully. I can sew a bag in a few hours. Where as before it took me a couple days after struggling with broken needles, missed stitches, tangling under presser foot, etc.. Very pleased with my puchase.

If you are a person who goes back and forth from one type of fabric to another this machine is for you! It is so versatile. Go from a cotton woven right to a faux leather without changing and tension or setting! As a an intermediate sewer this machine is great!
