Thank you so much for a brilliant and thoughtful review of this Elna machine. I have been researching semi-industrial machines and until I watched your review on Elna EF1, I was considering the JUKI TL- 2010Q. I appreciate your work to bring the features and strengths of the Elna. The same features that you that important are the same I find invaluable. Again thank you!!!

So glad this was helpful to you :) You may have seen I did a review of the Juki TL2010Q as well, if you need further comparison or thoughts… you may find that video insightful too. Ultimately, I did favor the Elna the most out of 3 machines reviewed here in the same series. The Juki scored the lowest for me of the 3. I hope you end up with a machine that you love! ❤️ thanks for watching and commenting!!

I just purchased and so far i like it. I have a Brother product. Not that i can compare as you did but i am coming from a Bernina history. Each of my machines are for very different purposes. And each have value. I can not and will not say i was disappointed in my last purchase. I would say Juki is a great semi industrial. My experience was positive and will rate it with 5 stars. I wanted industrial but dont have the room, at this point. I am satisfied. Thought the $$ vs ability was a great value. Just my opinion.

Love my TL2010Q. I added one of the Madame Sew light strips to solve the lighting problem. That is the ONLY criticism I have after sewing with this machine for over 3 years.

I’m surprised you didn’t fix the bobbin thread but kept on sewing. I’ve been told by a very knowledgeable sewist if it hasn’t been winded correctly, it can affect the stitches and tension. Probably would have had better results with a bobbin correctly winded. Needle threader on my Singer domestic machine is on the left side I find a bit bulky. It gets in the way when I try to sew a bulky item. The more I watch Juki reviews, the more I want it! I love how it sounds too.

Minor terminology correction: a compensating foot has a split base where the left and right half can move independently. The feet with two different length toes are just regular straight stitch feet. Also the foam on the thread stand isn't packaging, it's supposed to be there to keep thread spools from sliding around. Not a big deal if you don't use it, though.

I have the TL-18, the top of the Juki TL line. It took me a while to get used to it, but I really love it - and all the TLs now. The table does not slip at all. I love it! My only 2 complaints on the Juki TLs are the lighting (even the improved lighting on the TL-18) and the needle threader. I work and teach at a Janome/Elna, Brother/Babylock, Juki dealership. The needle threader is absolutely frustrating, and I finally gave up on it. The bobbin case needs to be adjusted for Tex thread. Some people purchase a second bobbin case adjusted just for Tex thread.

The tension on the top stitch is determined by the tension on the bobbin case. The bobbin thread tension is determined by the tension button on the machine.

My Juki works like a dream if you turn the tension on the op of the machine you will have better results the bobbins on mine wind perfectly every time also you need the correct needle for heavy threads

I use tex 70 nylon thread upper and in the bobbin. The first thread tension, should the be flush. (The knob and metal rod even with each other. I put old cutting mat under my machine which lesson the noise and helped with moving the machine. I use this machine everyday Sewing vinyl, leather, cork and cotton. I love it.

I use a size 18 Schmetz Leather Home Machine Needles - 15x1, 130/705 H LL - 5/Pack from Wawak 70 tex thread. I did buy another bobbin case for tex thread. I also purchased the large needle plate for large needles. Juki Junkies was my source for information of what thread, needles, bobbin case and large needle plate. They are an awesome family owned business.

I am wondering if you had a bad machine? I have this machine and it is phenomenal. It makes absolutely no humming noise whatsoever. Also, I have heard that the thread cutter on this particular machine is not meant to be used with heavy threads or tex 45. I agree that the lighting could be better, but I have easily solved that. I have heard that the step up machine has much better lighting. My machine is set down into a sewing desk. Anyone that does any amount of sewing will find that that makes sewing so much easier. I only use the table if I’m on a retreat, and for me, the sewing table works fine.

Thank Dan. Definitely could be. I know some people are either team Juki very strongly or they are just not that into them. As for me, I think they just may not be my preference and that’s okay. So many choices out there :) I had tried a couple of juki industrials when I was shopping for mine and I also didn’t think they were for me. I decided on a different brand that works great for me and was half the cost with more features. The beauty of choice is that there are so many and one for everyone’s preferences :D

I love your honest reviews. I watched both the Juki and Brither. I am in the market for a semi industrial machine and your videos are super helpful. I’m wondering if you would do one for the Janome HD9. It’s more expensive, but would like to know if it’s worth the money. Thank you so much. I love your channel. ❤

@EmporiumThreads 11 ай бұрын

I have one more video in the series and it’s a sister to the HD9. While I didn’t try the HD 9 itself I found this other machine (video yet to release) and it was a bit cheaper than the hd9 with the same/similar features and it’s the same sited company. That machine will come out soon and I hope it’s helpful. I ended up picked that machine and I love it!

I added a light strip, but when I was quilting large quilts the light strip pulled off. I have been trying other things to light up that inner area and some are more successful than others. I have not been able to use the needle threader successfully even after I replaced it. It’s so sensitive that it takes longer to get it aligned properly than it does to just thread it manually. It’s amazing at regular and free motion quilting and nothing can beat it for piecing.. With all that said, I love my Juki better than my Bernina, Janome, or BabyLock. I bought a carrier with wheels so when I travel, the weight is not a big deal.

Thanks for your nice feedback. I understand that you are really very talented in this subject, please give me another suggestion I don't need a sewing machine design. I will sew vine leaf flowers and round designs using free motton. So which sewing machine should be purchased for me at a low price

Hi, thanks for the review. Just wondering have you tried knit fabric on that machine? Does the foot need to be changed along with the needle?

@EmporiumThreads 4 ай бұрын

I did not end up keeping this machine as I didn’t care for it but since it did have some struggles I can safely say that I would 100% want a walking foot for it on knits, if I were still using it. For needles, I always change to a ball point needle whenever I sew knits to avoid runs/rips in my fabrics, regardless of machine :)

@briannehinojosa1402 8 ай бұрын

Just FYI Juki advises NOT using the thread cutter on thread heavier than 30 weight. That's why you are getting the grinding noise and poor performance-the thicker threads need to be cut with the manual cutter on the side or with scissors. They also recommend topstitch needles (bigger eye) with this type of thread - having a mismatch between thread size and needle size can cause all sorts of issues / machine sounding unhappy.

@EmporiumThreads Ай бұрын

It didn’t. I kept the machine for a while and it just did not perform well. I have also taught some bag making classes on this same machine as well as used it as a rental at retreats and it just did not perform that great. It’s not a bag making machine- it’s a straight stitch quilting machine and while it’s okay, it just does not do great with bulk, with lots of layers of vinyl or many of the things we run into as bag makers. The score it earned is accurate. Of course, it’s all opinion based but if you search fb groups you will see others either feel like I do, or they claim to love it and say they never have an issue. However, having been in a room with 45 of these machines and everyone having the same issues tells me it’s not a one time thing… it’s this machine. In another review video, I did the same tests with the Elna ef1 (which scored much higher than this Juki and I ended up keeping) the Elna does not have any of the struggles this Juki has. A far superior sewing experience for bag making. I adore the Elna and the experience and sewing quality is FAR better than this machine. Hope that helps. Happy sewing.
