I done the same thing for a design wall and it has worked well for 4 years now. I enjoy your videos about quilting and how to make everything nest. Thanks

What a great review, thank you!

I've had the Juku HZL F400 since 2008. Love it. I just test drove the TL18 QVP and decided to purchase it for bag making. Picking it up in a few day! Sew excited!

Regarding the tape on the throat plate: I use a utility knife to cut along the crevice between the throat plate and machine. That way you can remove the throat plate but the tape can remain in place of it’s still in good condition. Regarding oiling, I always had to look at the mannual to remember WHICH holes need oil. I got some page hole reinforcement stickers. I put one on each hole that needs oil so it speeds up my routine.

My Stripology does not like me. Never get clean cuts all the way

After nearly 2 decades of quilting... I learned something new today.... I love it. Thanks. 😊

Great tutorial thank you…

And today I did it. The quilted sandwich was already finished some weeks ago, yesterday I cut all the pieces and bindings and today I sewed everything together. Phew... that was quite an experience. I used the first time bias binding. But what really was a challenge for me was the sewing the gusset with back and front. Oh, these curves... But at the end I made it and it's finished now and I hope my mom will be happy with her birthday gift 😊 Thank you very very much for the videos. They were most helpful. Together with the pattern it was - doable 😅Happy sewing, Kerstin

I have a JUKI TL 98E …it is a workhorse. Love love, love it. I have it serviced occasionally. Works great. 0:08 0:08

I was looking for an iron video, but got stuck on ur channel. What do quilters do with all the quilts quilters make? Hi from Winnipeg btw.

If you have Oliso money, this is probably the better choice. My current Oliso went belly up after a few months. Its was my 3rd Oliso and I am sooo done. I think a Reliable is in my future if I get another premium iron. Thank you for this great review.

So glad I found you, as zippers frightened me. I will try tomorrow!

I’m opposite I end up cutting the thread unintentionally with the foot pedal. So I used the stopper underneath the pedal. It works for me! Thank you for your video it’s most helpful to a newbie like me!

The Janome 6700P does great buttonholes as well! I have had mine for a year and it's magic! I make shirts and hoodies.

I'm a quilter and I've had my TL-2010 for 7+ years. I also have a computerized Juki HCL-DX7 which is very nice, but I use the TL most of the time. I agree with almost every point you've made, except that I hate the foot pedal thread cutter, my automatic needle threader has never worked right, and opposite side of the coin, my walking foot works great - I've never had a problem with it and I use it often, especially for quilt bindings. I don't mind pushing the thread cutting button, and I just thread my needle by hand - I've become so used to it that it doesn't bother me at all. I bought a Juki brand aftermarket 1/4" foot and it gives me perfect scant 1/4" seams. Also, like you, I leave the huge extension table on almost all of the time. I love this machine!

Did you find that the maven and velocity both glide across the fabric when pressing yardage equally? I had a velocity 200IR that died last year and I replaced it with a oliso but I hate it so on the search for a new one again but think the Velocity might to be heafty for me, but worried the maven might be to light with the 2lb difference.

Beautiful job making this video. I have the Juki TL18. I would add that you probably didn't need to take your machine in for service, because you were able to oil and clean it yourself for those ten years. It is a machine that needs some oiling.

What is missing is a free arm. This feature allows you to easily sew on tubular items like sleeves or pant legs my ~40 years old singer Stylist 834 has it such a useful feature and has a solid zinc diecast frame. I appreciate the Juki is capable of sewing thicker materials and i wish my Singer i got second hand was stronger but it's surprising they don't have a free arm.

Articulate, credible, frank. No doubt about where she stands. Excellent.

I have had my TL 2010 for about 3 years and I love it! I have sewn on Kenmore, Viking, Singer and have 4 Bernina machines but my go to machine is the Juki. Stitch quality is beautiful, knee lift fantastic and I can't live without that thread cutter. I struggle to get a scant 1/4” so I purchased the swing away guide and it works perfectly. I set my first guide at 1/2” and the second guide at 1/4”. Works every time. Sewing on the Juki is just fun!

Everyone should be watching this video- as well as all your videos! I’m a new-ish quilter of 3 years and want to say you have great tips!

Thank you for sharing these tips! I always wondered about how to neatly handle the flap at the mitered corner, and your method makes so much sense. I will also be trying the knot behind the eye of the needle. I hate having to rethread all the time!

Hi, yes I have that machine. I had the same issues as you reviewed. Thank you for your reviews, they were spot on. This is my work horse. I use it for bags & piecing quilts, small quilting projects because I have a long arm for quilting. I love this machine! ❤

Wonderful video!!! I usually do big stitch binding when I do it by hand, but so many of your tips can be used there too! And I think I may try this way at least once to see how it goes! Thank you!

A. Maz. Ing! I love when I learn something that’s life changing. The knot behind the needle, the way you begin stitching, burying the knot…. ALL of this! Thank you!

I machine bind but this was very informative about using the knots behind the needle eye and at the end of the thread for other applications. Great use of a French knot.

This is the exact video I needed! I have recently wanted to start hand stitching my binding and this gives me a great place to start!

Super useful video. I tried machine binding on a few quilts but have gone back to hand binding, it just looks so much nicer and makes for a very final “victory lap” before gifting.

Thank you for this very helpful and informative tutorial!

I saw on your newsletter that you thought this tutorial tanked but no way! The video quality and your instructions are great! I was just going to save it for the next binding project but, in fact, it was really good to watch it ahead of time and now I saved it. I love hand binding and am not even tempted to try a machine method. Although it does get a little challenging with a minky backing. Thanks for the reminder and link to the Goody binding kit. What a great idea to have it handy for all your binding projects.😊

I have always hand sewn my bindings, but I learned quite a few things to do differently from this video. ❤

I've hand bound so many quilts but I still found this video super helpful! The knot on the needle and also the way you finish off when you're out of thread are new to me! Lucky for me I'm literally just off to bind the quilt I started four years ago (😳) - now I'm feeling super excited to get started!

Regarding that knot behind the needle....When it is time to finish off that thread and start binding again with another length of thread, how easy is it to untie that knot?

Just curious as I haven't ever used your method of securing the thread with a knot at the needle hole (which looks like an excellent idea and would help me!)....How easy is it to untie that knot when you need to finish off and then start all over again with another length of thread?

Love this tutorial! I fear I’m getting to be I-need-a-needle-threader years old, too! 😊

Excellent video -- thanks so much for your careful, detailed instruction. I just found your channel recently, and I have to confess that I bought a Janome 6700p in part because your praise of the machine was so convincing. 🙂 If you have the time at some future point, I would love a video on how you machine bind your quilts, especially with reference to the 6700p! Thanks!

OMG! I loved watching this video! I've been hand binding for a while but I definitely learned some great tips here. My favorite was making the knot at the needle eye. I always lose my threads so this is going to make my life so much easier/happier! And, I'm definitely going to make myself a Goody Goody kit! Thank you so much!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

That knot behind the needle is going to be a game changer for me. 'The simple things is life are often the best' really is true 😂 Thanks heaps

Very good explanation! Thanks!

Excellent tutorial! I finished my first hand binding project a couple of weeks ago and loved it once I figured out how to do it left-handed. For any other lefties Doug Leko from Antler Designs has another excellent tutorial. I love the amount of detail you give and that binding bag is gorgeous. Thank you 💗

Excellent tutorial! 😊

Great tutorial. I’m sure that your method of threading and securing the thread in your needle, is something that I will be using from now on. Thank you for the tips. I can see how hand sewing your binding can really be a relaxing way of finishing a quilt. It also gives you the confidence that it is securely done. Thanks for this video.

This tutorial is very timely! I am hand binding for the first time. Your instructions are clear and the visuals are great. I already have one side done. It’s not as hard as I thought it might be. Thanks!

I’m thrilled to find your channel. I love the quality of your videos, your detailed instructions and the content which is just what I need as a beginner quilter. It helps too that you and I have the same name, Shelly. I look forward to watching prior and future videos. ❤

I love my janome 6700p Ive beer wondering if usb oiling it?

Yes I’ve done it before but I always forget. I will watch your video again and again! Thank you. 😀

Let's see the finished quilt..

I noticed your light strip what a brilliant idea. I have a singer patchwork right now and the lighting especially in the evenings is horrible. Even a sewing light isn’t that helpful. I’m looking for a machine more like the janome but I’m not sure about the computerized business because I’m afraid if it breaks down it will cost an arm and a leg. Are the feet and the bobbins expensive?

Can this method be used if you hang your quilts? I have more hanging space than folding and placing on a shelf. Thanks
