Juki

The one flaw is too big to forgive – I love everything about my JukiTL2010q but for 2 things. Two things that destroy my sewing enjoyment 1. Difficulty inserting the bobbin is annoyingly… Read more

true, but it’s not a deal breaker. I could live with it if it wasn’t for problem number two! 2. The placement of the knee lift lever is horrible. Every time I use my machine (daily) I repeatedly curse the position of the knee lift lever. The knee lift lever comes out approximately in the centre of the machine bed. It means I’m squashed to the left half of the machine. And it and my chair keep interfering with each other. The placement of the knee lift lever is so seriously ridiculous and unendurable I find it puzzling that other owners aren’t mentioning it. Why not? What do they know that I don’t about using applying and using the knee lift lever and being comfortably seated. I’m so aggravated by the position of the knee left lever and how it imposes on my sewing enjoyment, I am considering trading the JukiTL2010q in on another more ergonomic sewing machine

If you use this machine and have found the knee lift lever position comfortable please share your trick/tip with me Thanks

Impressive Japanese overlocker – Due to doing a lot more sewing during 2020, I decided to purchase an overlocker. After doing some research, I discovered the Juki MO1000. It appealed… Read more

to me because it's supposed to be an 'easy threader' and great for beginner users. It was expensive compared to other more common models available in Australia, but I'm really glad that I bought it. You could just tell that a lot of care and consideration has gone into this machine. It arrived packed meticulously (not just your usual plastic and styrofoam). It smelt like it had been freshly oiled, and the company had even done a test piece to check that everything was working. I haven't had any issues with it so far. It does thread nicely, although it obviously takes more time than threading a sewing machine. I've tried it on a variety of fabrics (silk, tencel, tulle, cotton, denim) and everthing has been top notch.

Really love the Buttonhole foot, it’s the biggest one I have ever seen in a home sewing machine. This is my back up sewing machine for when my Janome… Read more

6700P is being fixed or serviced. I have used it near constantly for months, great for shirts and waistband buttonholes , as well as construction. I don’t expect much of auto threaders but it is still working. I do think you need to be experienced for a Juki machine, not one for beginners. Being able to change the width of buttonholes is a good innovation. It has a hard cover and good lighting.
