I am very comfortable piecing on my Viking and using my Janome for walking foot work or decorative stitches. This machine is excellent in two things- straight stitching (which is perfect for piecing) and free motion quilting.

I have a computerized Brother sewing/embroidery machine and it’s ok. A local shop recommended this machine to me so I am reading all about it. I wish you the best of stitching with your new machine and hope you grow to love it as much as I do mine. With my Brother, the bobbin is visible, and I still run out of bobbin.

Or could I only quilt in straight lines? and how often do you have to oil it? Then raise to feed dogs to start quilting. You would manually move the fabric to create the stitch patterns, like Leah Day. It takes time to research it, actually buy it, USE it, and put your thoughts / pics / down on paper for the rest of us to read. I am just so impressed with the quality, reliability, and ease of use. I have a question about the table too. You either move the fabric, while on the table, or you move the machine, while on the frame…. For one, it is wobbly. Are you able to slide the machine to the right so you can get into the bobbin casing?

This is really a workhorse machine. After all, she knew who I was and why I was there. Your input would be appreciated. I have never used a mechanical machine before so it is a challenge for me. When I first looked at the Juki TL 2010Q, I couldn’t help but remember some of the old industrial sewing machines my grandmother used during her days as a professional seamstress, making customized draperies and slipcovers for prestigious clients in Washington, DC.This machine is practically all metal with easy to understand and use features, including a knee lift for the presser foot, an adjustable presser foot control, a la… Long story short I could not master the free motion without a stitch regulator which the frame did not have.
