JUKI TL- 2010Q Sewing Machine Review 

Wow. I have no interest in sewing whatsoever, but i have to say this has been some of the most comprehensive uninterupted review i have ever seen. If juki is ever looking for a spokesperson to sell their products to the the masses, i think they found their woman.

Hi, it’s 2024. Just got my juki 2010. No one talks about the other feet that can be used. I’ve purchased a few of them, but found them in limited supply. I’d call this a semi heavy duty/industrial machine. Simple, no fuss, workhorse; love it.

Hi Vanessa! What a great video!! I just purchased this Juki from Sew Mini Things yesterday (June 2024) and I'm over the moon happy!

I just purchased this machine. I was really impressed by your demonstration and at the speed of the machine. I have a plethora of machines from antique to top of the line embroidery but kept looking at this one. You sold me lady. You my dear are an enabler and I'm really excited about it. So from one sewer to another, stitch on. Thank you.

I reread the manual several times trying to learn how to use the needle threader. Your video finally explained it to me. Thanks so much for your precise and accurate video.

Oh Vanessa! Finally an excellent video for auto threading . I have had my Juki for over a year and was unable to understand the how to. There is no other machine for me. You just can’t go wrong with this machine. You really did a great job on explaining. Definitely a workhorse. I love my Juki. I also have nothing I would change on it either. Can’ say that about any other

Thank you! it's 2020 and this video is still relevant! :) This video has helped me finalize my decision to get the machine. Fingers crossed.

Girl they need to hire you to sell their machines. you have managed to complete a very comprehensive demo on this machine. I just watched an Australian demo and thought it wasen;t bad but she didn't cover how thick of fabrics you could put out on this machine . it looks like you could quilt without a quilting foot. thanks so much for this demo. I learned more watching you then I did on any of the others. I have a pfaff which I love but would like a larger throat space for quilting and this machine is fast which I love also.

Just got my new Juki today from Sew-Miny Things today. Phillip was very helpful and thanks to Vanessa for the review. Ladies don't forget to tell that you watched this video so you can get your 10% off! Thanks again Vanessa!

I have owned this Juki model for close to a year now. I Love, Love, Love it!!! I do all my free motion quilting on it. I picked this machine because it has a lot more neck space than other home sewing machines. I have quilted up to a queen size quilt on this baby.

I got it for Christmas from my eldest daughter. I have it all set up and ready to try it out. I make handbags, so I needed a work horse. Thanks for the video!!

I received this fabulous machine this morning for Christmas, best gift ever from my husband. I didn’t want to touch my machine without looking at your video. It’s very thorough and comprehensive. Thanks for all your tips.

Just got my Juki, 5 years after you did. Loved your video, felt your enthusiasm and started smiling at you as you've gone through the denim layers :) Thank you for your review! Cant wait to start using my machine... Got it this morning, trying to learn some before I get into it, just because I know once I start I wont stop SZ

I have this Juki and just bought the DNU-1541s walking foot industrial. I’ve been a Juki fan bf they were popular. Had my Juki serger now for over 20 years and still going strong!! Amazing machines. Great review. Hugs, Lin

I just want to say thank you for all your tutorials, you have a wonderful personality, you explain things so well, that this gal was able to learn how to sew and so many other things that I wouldn’t have even tried had I not seen your videos. You are appreciated!

I just bought one this summer for my birthday. I just adore it. So fast, so powerful. Great for quilting and if you do heavy totes and purses, it sews through many layers like butter!!

I received the same Juki2010 this morning for Christmas. What a wonderful surprise from my husband. I didn’t want to touch it without looking at y

Just got mine recently. I have done one project so far. Getting used to her and this helps me and gets me into the habit of oiling her correctly and regularly. Hope to spend many years at my Juki.

Hi, Vanessa, I bought my Juki TL-2010Q in 2014 and it's the best machine I've ever had. I have made so many quilts, tablerunners, tote bags, rag dolls, etc. on this machine. I use it every day and it is, like you say, a workhorse!

I just bought this, because I am wanting to teach myself how to sew, and I didn't want computerized stitches, I just want to do straight seams. I am so grateful my seamstress friend told me about this brand, and I really enjoyed watching your video. I'm excited for my machine to come!

This is my dream machine! I almost have enough saved for it! Your review was awesome!

I realize this is old, but, I have had my eye on this machine since your review. I just received this machine , which I bought for myself for Christmas, today. OH MY GOSH!!! I have been piecing on a 25+ yr old singer and . . . wow. I LOVE this Juki. It is soooo fast, and it just glides through even the most bunched up of fabric (I am making crazy quilt squares). Thank you so much for this review! I look forward to finally free motion quilting. :)

After I saw your review I have never regretted buying one.

I recently moved from Palm Coast to Eustis and I’m about 15 minutes from Mt. Dora. Wish I had known there was a sewing place here who carried the Juki. I assumed you had to order these only. I ordered my Juki and have been waiting and waiting for delivery! Ugh. I’m a novice sewer but a fast learner so I’m hoping this machine will speed up the process of my never ending slipcover projects...and hoping the machine won’t go kaput like my cheap Singers. Guess I’ll just keep watching vids and learn till I receive it. Thank you for the review!

Thank you Soooooooo much for your review. I bought this machine because all I do is stitch my piecing and quilt with a straight stitch or FMQ. I have a Babylock with fancy stitches, I rarely use for quilting, and a Brother serger I use for making apparel, but this JUKI 2010Q is thee best machine for piecing and quilting. I make large quilts and my new Juki has made everything so much easier. It is a workhorse!! Thank you! I bought my Juki just based just on your review and I am one happy quilter now. Thanks again!!

Very much clueless about any sewing machine but have always been interested in have one of a semi-pro nature. I didn't really understand or grasp how great this Juki is but Vanessa TheCraftyGemini has me convinced this is THE one to have! Enjoyed the enthusiastic video presentation!

Oh Wow, a built-in needle threader🤭 what a game-changer!! I want it!💜

I am buying one of these because of your demo😄❤

I just bought one and can't wait to use it!!!

I LOVE my Juki! Took me a few years of research, test drove a bunch of different machines at a quilt show in Lancaster and finally made my decision. First heard of the Juki by reading a blog "Sewing Machine Adultery".

I watched the videos and loved them! It appears that you had a fantastic experience. Sewing machine so that you can begin crafting your own hand-made items. I made a tote using this great product and it turned out fantastic! I made it for my dog groomer. Thank you once again for a great, instructional video. Thanks

I've had this machine for about 6 months now and it really is a work horse! It's semi-industrial and is wonderful. I ordered mine through Amazon for $999.00.

I love this lady with this Juki ❤❤❤

Great review. The speed on that thing -- wow.

I came back to this review a few times, and almost talked myself into giving one of these machines a try. Most modern machines have too much plastic in them for my taste. I prefer vintage all metal machines. At least this machine does have a lot less plastic than most modern machines. And although it's not computerized, I suspect it does have some electronics involved with the needle up/down functionality, and perhaps the speed control and/or thread cutter. I'm not opposed to electronics. I've worked in a corporate data center surrounded by electronics almost two and a half decades. But mechanics tend to outlast electronics. I finally decided to splurge. For a little less than this machine I have an industrial Juki DDL-8700 on its way to me. I had to sacrifice the needle up/down feature and thread cutter. The DDL-8700 does come with a speed regular, ranging from 0 to maximum speed. I've been finding conflicting information on maximum speed, but it's somewhere between 4,500 and 5,500 stitches per minute. It also comes with a presser foot knee lifter, and an oil pump. Yes, it oils itself. I'm looking forward to getting it set up and taking it for a spin. One of these days I might break down and add a modern machine to my collection with a thread cutter and/or needle up/down feature.

I have this machine, it works great and has lots of power ar ar ar. I use it to sew webbing material. I saw another video of this machine going through 4 layers of leather. Looks like she was sewing motorcycle chaps. What I like about this machine is how slow it can go. I'm not good at sewing and the webbing I sew is like an inch across so the slow speed is nice for the things I sew on it. I've gone through 3 layers of heavy webbing with it no problem. Make sure your bobbin is adjusted right or it can give you trouble. Once I got that adjusted this machine has been working great.

Best review of a machine ever. No extraneous talk. Only get down to the machine specifics. Bravo. I’d buy a machine from you. Hope Juki uses you as their ambassador

Thanks for the great visual on the needle threaded. The diagram in the book wasn't easy to follow but your video was perfect!

I bought this machine because of you and it works fabulously. Keep up the great work you do, if I had a business I would beg you to work for me.

I have the Juki TL 2000Qi (one step older than your 2010Q) and I LOVE it. I quilt with it on a Grace Majestic frame and also love it for piecing but generally use my Juki HZL F600 for daily sewing and piecing. You are Right On with your reviews. These are major league machines.

Wow!!! Excellent video, awesome JUKI TL- 2010Q Sewing Machine, now I'm thinking of getting one. Thanks :)

I am so excited. I am fixing to buy this machine too!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. Vanessa you are awesome!!

I don’t know why but since I started sewing (30) years ago, I have always used the foot pedal backwards, and after I purchased the Juki 180 QVP having the thread cutter at my toes is much easier!

Wow! I learned on a Juki 30 years ago!

Great review! Have this machine and I call her the Beast! She can take on anything!

OMG, I was cringing as you floored it going through those six layers of denim, and then it just flew through them!! I'm sold! :-)

Great review. Well presented. Im in the market right now for a new machine (mainly for bag making) and comparing The Juki TL 2010, Brother PQ1500Sl and the newly released Janome 6700P. After having seen MANY reviews now I think this is the one. Thank you.

thanks for the videos . I have been drooling over a Juki 2810-7 , maybe someday .

Your amazing and a great sales person. I am diffently buying this machine. Love your hair and nails, also.

Great review! Thanks for the tutorial on the automatic threader. I’ve looked at many online tutorials and yours is the best! I finally got the auto threader to work!

That speed control is very important when teaching especially younger girls.

Amazing. Thank you. I just bought one.

Awesome explanation and enthusiasm

I bought this machine after watching this video (which I loved) and checking out a few other reviews elsewhere. Unfortunately, it's been disastrous from the start. The sewing pedal has an electronic cutting feature that stopped working (rendering the pedal unworkable) after 1 week. A month later, I got the replacement foot. Since then, I've had problems with the bobbin winder and breaking needles, which has never happened on the other machines I use (Brother and Bernina) in 20 years of regular machine use. The parts are clunky and don't seem well-made and the machine needs lots of trouble-shooting, which is a bummer considering its price and that this is marketed as a semi-pro machine. I foolishly threw out the box after a week so I can't return it-- but I would in a heartbeat and definitely regret this purchase.

I have this machine and I LOVE IT

I am a big fan of your youtube channel. I saw this review about 18 months ago and I bought one. It's been about 15 months and i was having trouble with the tension. I took it to heart about keeping it oiled. The store I purchased it from and took for service said that I was over oiling the machine and looked like car oil at the bottom. I don't know how that is possible because I only used sewing machine oil. After taking the machine for service, it now does not have the thread cutter, the speed control doesn't work, the automatic needle down isn't working. I am no sad, I truly loved this machine. I am taking it back to see if they can fix that problem now. He said sometimes oil hits the computerized board, but I didn't think it had a computerized board. :( Anyhow. Thanks for the review. I hope my machine come back 100% ok the 2nd time around. I don't know if anyone else has had that problem.

Venessa- Great job. You put me over the edge. I'm buying based on your rec!

I enjoy my Juki as well. I love your enthusiasm on the video. So fun!

thank you. Confirms that I want this machine.

Thank you for the info. I purchased one for myself. I tried to order it from your local shop there but they were out of stock. So I went elsewhere, sorry😢 Anywho, love your tutorials. Thank you🤗

I have the same machine ... Can you do a tutorial to explain how to correct the tension on this machine?

Thank you so much for sharing the video. Greetings from 🇧🇿

Just ordered mine. Thanks for the review!!

Thank you for the great review!

I have a Singer a basic machine I so have to get the Juke I see and hear they can do everything Everything!!!

This machine looks great!! On my list for sure. Thanks for the review.

I just ordered mine today from your guy in Florida!! Love the discount..

Wow. Juki should pay you! Great review!

obviously there is some computerization/extra electronics inside, but not on the scale of others. Something is telling it needle-down, for ex, or cut the thread. I do want this machine, though ;). If I had more money I'd consider the Juki 150 QVP.

Great machine! And I always love your denim tests!! 😊

You sold me! I was going back and forth between this and the baby lock Jane. Buying the Juki. Thanks for the great video!!

Great video!I just got my juki walking foot machine today and love it!So excited to finally be able to sew leather and even just be able to hem a pair of thick jeans for a customer without worrying if my needle will break.This is my second juki and really love the brand.I feel like juki is the Rolls Royce of sewing machines.

I have one love it a lot

I bought my Juki because of your review and I love it! Thank you! Questions: 1. How do I adjust how much thread is left with the automatic thread cutter? My machine is cutting too short of a tail of thread and I end up having to re-thread the needle. 2. Where do you set the tension for sewing jeans vs regular weight cotton fabric?

love your reviews, you helped me find the perfect machine for me

Mount Dora has a bridge that goes over the canal to Lake Dora where pontoon boaters cross under the bridge. One day I threw a firecracker under that bridge just as a couple were going under the bridge in their pontoon boat. Man!…. She sure threw up her arms fast! Haha. It’s right there by Taco Johns . I hid behind the tree and laughed. Just smoke on the water and confetti all over. It was SO LOUD! Haha. My Mount Dora lasting memory- haha many years ago

Wow, you speed demon you! Impressive. I've got a Brother SE1900 coming, but it does 850 SPM. I'll have to see if I need that extra speed. Oh, P.S.: I just looked this up -- if I lose the embroidery, and just go with sewing, I can get a Brother PQ1500SL for $599 that will do 1500SPM

I bought one and I absolutely love it! mine is the 200qI the difference is I don't have the speed control so have to use it with the foot pedal which I do not mind at all. I love love love this machine. for years now no one could tear me away from my phaff which I still love as this one only straight stiches but for the most part this is the one I use unless I need a zig zag stitch or something other then a straight stitch. thank you so much for showing this vidio!

Thank you for this review!! I just bought one!!

excellent review, well done!

From Indian in Singapore Love all of your videos JUKI is very popular here in Asia most models here are made in Vietnam not in China! Don't buy Chinese made machines they break a lot after a few years.

Can you tell me if this machine will will take a ruler foot for quilting with rulers?

I think I was completely sold at "butter" LOL!!

WOW! Looks like a brilliant machine thanks for sharing! Liz...

THANK YOU!!! I've been struggling with the needle threader, and now I can do it!

Love your review {always love all your videos!} Just got this machine today!!! Thought I'd pass on...FACEBOOK has a group for these machine users---very very helpful if you have one!

Perfect timing with this review - I'm going to visit this model this week at my sewing store. One question about the thread cutter and locking the stitch, is it the same thing? How to do you lock a stitch on this Juki? I'm really tired of sewing back and forth and tying my sewing ends.

How is this machine on thicker fabrics and vinyl?

I love, love this machine

If i would use a Zig Zag stitch for bindings or so, i would always use my mecanical Vintage Lady, Miss Marla Singer 216G. 😅 She's a wild girl between she will work beautiffly! Oh, i forgot: I LOVE THIS JUKI TOO. Wish me luck someone's buing my oil paintings so i can make an order with help from a Sewing Shop i contaktet so mybe the can order it for me and later let it send to my home! USA AMAZON do not shipping the TL 2010 Q to Austria directly...uuuufff😕. But hey, i do not want to interupt your video, i like it very much! Thumbs up!😊

Extension table is soft plastic - heads up for anyone who owns one it will scratch easily (I found the hard way). I don't pin fabric on the table nor let scissors touch it.

Would you recommend this machine for begginer sewers, like me, to use. Im also trying to sew a few jackets together, would you also reccomend me using this machine to make them.

Vanessa. Thank you for sharing and getting to the point. Do you still have this machine and is it still working well?

I have this machine ... OMG .. i love it ....

rats I bought the other one HZLF600 figured if it held up to you it would hold up to this newbie! I should of waited for this review this one would of better suited me:( but I do love the HZL F600.Keep up the good work, I love your stuff :)

Great review. Now to find one in Sydney Australia to try out.

I would love to see how to oil this machine.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it and will be checking things out.

Would you recommend this machine for sewing vinyl handbags?

Yay I bought mine today.
