Hi Juki Junkies, We have an Updated video on new oiling methods that we have found to be much better :) (we recommend all 6 holes every 3-4 months not every 4 -6 hours of sewing ) Check it out here. ua-cam.com/video/SDE02I_1VJM/v-deo.html
I wanted to cry every time I had to change a needle on my TL, it was so difficult for my slightly arthritic fingers, I never had that prob on my old Brother. I tried a plastic thingy that is supposed to hold the needle, total junk. I got a really sturdy, metal, one at my local sewing store, really clamps on to the needle to get that sucker inserted correctly. It was the best 5.99 I spent, no more tears. 😊
@@eljay5623 There is no name brand on it. I bought it at Montavilla Sewing in Beaverton, Oregon. It was 5.99. I tried to find one like it online but i can’t find it. Madam Sew has one that looks like it might be sturdy like mine.
I had no idea that I had to have the presser foot down to set the tension! Explains a lot of the reasons I was having problems getting the tension right. Thank you! I have only had my Juki for a couple of months, but I love it so far!
I've had a TL2010 for about 6 years, and all that time I've been using the little door on the bobbin case to insert it into the machine. This explains why I've had occasional issues with the bobbin thread going all wonky because I never knew to listen for that "click"! Very helpful!
Wow thank you for the tip on winding the bobbin with extra thread spool without unthreading the machine🤩 I didn't know I was supposed to oil bobbin area after every bobbin change 😱Thank you so much❣ 🔥Running to my machine now to lube up the bobbin ledge💨 GREAT FABULOUS MARVELOUS Tips❣
This is such a NECESSARY video. I have only had my TL-18 for about 2 months so I am still navigating my way around. I haven’t even watched the entire video yet and I have already discovered that I am not winding my bobbin correctly (never saw the tiny hole) and I never paid any attention to the top tension adjuster. Thanks so much for all the tips. 🤗
I do not have my Juki machine yet; but I am watching lots of videos to get to know it before it arrives (in 4 or 5 days, so excited). I'm getting the Haruka TL 18, yay!!! Thanks for the very informative video. Much appreciated.
I love this video! One tip that I learned about threading with the needle threader from one of Boki's videos is to press the needle up and down button to get the needle to "reset", but don't crank it higher after that (like I used to!!) It can go higher, but Boki said that needle down/up gets it in the perfect position, not the highest position, which is key! Ever since, I've not had any issues with my needle threader!! I really liked your "flossing" tip! I think that is a terrific way to make sure the thread is really seated where it should be! Thanks, HD!!
My error was that I was wondering why my machine wouldn’t cut my threads or do the auto threading. I was using a 70 weight industrial thread. I used that same thread when I took my machine into the introductory class for my machine at my dealers store. They didn’t correct me either; they said to bring it into the repair shop and have them look it over. I learned more from your UA-cam videos than I ever did from them. Thank you so much!
Well this was incredibly helpful! Apparently I’ve been doing a few things incorrectly 😮! Thank you for yet another great videos. You guys are awesome 👏
Great video, thank you!! A tip from customer service is to leave a 3” thread tail when inserting the bobbin so the needle will pick up the thread at the start of stitching.
Thank you so much. What a helpful lesson. I was not inserting the bobbin right and I think that was causing other issues. Also now I understand why the tension dial moves and I know to set it with the presser foot down. I'm new to this machine and its different from my computerized as well as my old featherweight so your training videos are so useful for me.
I learn something new on each video by you, David! I've had my TL-2000 for 5 years and have never put the thread through either hole when winding my bobbins. Only through tension disc. I'll try it next time, though. Thank you!
More than once I have not fully disengaged the bobbin winder after winding a series of bobbins which then caused the sewing function to not work--and I had no clue what was the problem. Lesson learned--I hope!
I have large hands and have to use the door to put the bobbin case in but I shut the door before I get it all the way in so I can push the rest of the way and hear the click. If it doesn't click I pull it partway out shut the door and do it over till I hear the click.
You were so kind to me when I came in asking for info about the Juki for bag making and you covered almost every item with me in detail that is in this video. Thank you for the video because I’m sure I’ll need to review it several times after I order my new Juki!
Awesome video David ❤ My user error was not oiling the bobbin holder ever - oops! You'll be pleased to know I opened up my machine and gave it a good clean and oiled the bobbin holder yesterday. Love being a Juki Junkie and my TL-2010Q
I am writing to you from the very north of Germany. I recently bought my Juki TL 2200 QVP and I'm so in love with her. Really love at first sight! She's a real working horse! I also have a Juki DX7 and I love them both. I'm so happy that I found your channel on UA-cam and I've already learned so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us. Already looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Love these super helpful videos! I could probably oil my hook a little more often. I need to close the wing before inserting my bobbin because most of the time I don’t hear the click - good to know! Thank you.
I’m so grateful for your channel it’s been a great resource for me. I’ve learned a lot about my TL, and also my other Juki machines. Also being introduced to Glide and becoming a monthly subscriber, which I throughly enjoy. Thanks again.
Before buying my 2010Q I watched every video out there, read reviews etc. Two most common complaints were the needle threader not working (I have the same problem but am going to make sure now I do it exactly as this wonderful video shows). The second thing is the thread cutter. Most reviews said the same thing - that it cuts the threads too short, requiring a needle re-thread which was a pain. While I'm hoping the threader will now work (though it hasn't been bad manually threading despite somewhat poor eyesight - I keep a magnifier close by), I don't believe there is a fix to the thread being cut too short. LOVE this machine no matter the two little quirks.
Thank you for your videos. So many things I didn’t learn when I bought both my machines. I have a 2010 and a 350. I love them both, never had issues with them. Other than not knowing the proper way to oil. Thank you so much and keep the videos coming.
Well, dang!!! That was so helpful. I've had my Juki for years and I learned so much just watching this. Thank you. You've actually made me more comfortable with my machine by providing these tips.
So glad I discovered this channel. Didn’t know about that bobbin threading hole. Plus want to add I ordered some parts from you and quite pleased at response time.
Ok Today I was at St Cloud Sewing Center in St Cloud Minnesota testing a 1541 s ❤ Next month it will be mine 🎉. Any way just got my Landis # 3 running like a top . Not bad for being well over a hundred years old. I do very heavy leather work. But looking at getting into leather/ canvas tool bag making. Just getting ready for retirement. I would rather work than lay on the beach 🏖️ I enjoy the knowledge that you all share ❤
Things I found out I wasn’t doing correctly after watching this video Winding bobbin; inserting bobbin; oiling machine (not frequently enough); using needle threader; inserting needle plus the other tips were all helpful even though I do read the manual - thank you
I don't have a Juki yet, I am not sure which one I should be getting, so I will contact you. But, that said, this is an outstanding video! Great tips and insights! (i.e., threading with the pressure foot down, and setting the upper tension with the foot down. While these tips make sense, as a self-taught sewer I never knew this and didn't necessarily do it that way.) The filming in this video is excellent for teaching and explaining too! I really appreciate that. The oiling of the hook, or where the bobbin case gets inserted - "the 2nd ledge" and showing it zoomed in while spreading out the oil was so well demonstrated and communicated! These tips are valuable for all sewers! Thank you so very much. I am not so afraid of a long distance purchase of such an investment. Your support is outstanding! Thank you!!
Thank you!! My bobbin thread kept breaking and this is my first sewing machine like this so I couldn't figure it out. Did all the tips in this video 😂 working perfectly now. Such great information! I really appreciate it.
@@dcwatashi I can understand that. I basically only use 3 colored neutrals (in a light, medium and dark) so for me I have a full one always in each color and one I’m finishing up
Thank you . I used the instructions in my TL20100 manual on bobbin winding… I used your instructions today and my stitching looks and the machine sews much better.
I have had my Juki Tl18 for a few years now. I love her. I would oil everywhere more than I did the bobbin area. Today my top stitches were off. I did everything several times and still not right. I was putting the bobbin in with the door opened and not oiling it as much. It won't click at all. I ordered a new bobbin case to see if that fixes the problem. Fingers crossed. 🤞 Will be oiling it more often and closing the door. Thank you for such an informative video. It will be my go to, God forbid any issues come up.
I just got a TL18 and this video is tremendously helpful! (Your needle threader video was also a game changer when I first got it loll the manual is more confusing then anything 😅) thank you!!!
I am so glad I found Juki Junkies. My needle threader wasn’t working so I watched their video on the threader ordered the parts from them and it’s working now. Thanks so much guys.
Thank you for this video. The tips are much appreciated. The tips on bobbin winding, threading and bobbin case oiling were most helpful for me. Thanks David!
This was really a great video on all the tips. I have learned so much. Next video add some tips on the thread cutter, sometimes after using mine and I sew a bit and use it again it brings up thread. Also sometimes while sewing it the bobbin gets wrapped up with thread and and I can't sew. I will try that bobbin tip! Thanks
Hey thanks sooooo much for your videos. I went from freemotion quilting back to regular sewing and the reverse button was stuck. I just need to turn ine more button and rada! Found my error.
Great video! I have owned a TL2000 for about 10 years and did not know about the thread cutter with the industrial thread or even the heavier Tex thread. Thanks for the information.
Thank you so much! The tips you showed will be extremely helpful! I love my Juki TL2010Q! I always hold the handle when inserting my bobbin case. Now I know why I don’t hear the click!
When the presser foot is down the tension disks are closed and you are more likely to NOT get the thread between the tension disks properly. The presser foot should always be up when you thread your machine. This is coming from 55 plus years of sewing on dozens of different machines.
It’s solely preference. He mentioned it worked good for him to floss the thread through the disk as it’s shown to be more reliable. He never said do it his way. Keep doing it the way that works for you 😊
@@davidwilson7217 but it is not “shown” (whatever that means) to be more reliable his way. If it’s his opinion, he is incorrect. Even machine manufacturers will tell you to have the presser foot up when you thread it through the disks.
Donna Nelson This is a common user error video. He runs a shop with tons of customer service calls on a daily basis. He sees where issues come from. On this specific model machine it seems to work best for him; To floss the thread in the disk. He never said do it this way, but he chooses to as that’s what works best for him. Continue to do it with the foot up if that works for you. However with the flossing method the thread seats well in the disk and doesn’t move out. He mentions in other videos he’s seen the thread come out of the disks when the foots up, from the slightest movements while continuing the threading process when past the tension disk.
I've been oiling the bobbin area in the wrong spot. It's hard to see exactly what the manual is pointing to. Thank you for these tips. I've had my Juki 2010 about 3 months and I love it. I ordered my machine from y'all.
I didn't know the little hole before the tension disk needed to be threaded en route to the bobbin winder. I was also inserting the bobbin case while holding the little lever open, and I didn't know about the click. I wonder if you should update this video regarding the frequency of oiling, since your more recent one says every 3 months is sufficient, as opposed to the user manual which has us oiling the machine much too frequently.
I use my TL18 to also wind my DX7 bobbins. That way I don’t have to unthread my machine just for a new bobbin. I get a better bobbin using the TL than on the DX🤷♀
When I placed my large throat plate on I did not insert properly around the feed dogs. I caught it just by manually lowering the needle to make sure the needle was aligned.
Oiling my TL2000 as much as you mention in this video landed my machine in the shop, lol. I would back off a bit on oiling it THAT much, especially if you use the automatic thread cutter, like I do.
Yes we are just following that user manual. However we have found its definitely beneficial to not oil it that much and here is our updated video. ua-cam.com/video/SDE02I_1VJM/v-deo.html
I bought my Juki TL for 3 reasons. Just straight line plain stitch sewing, needle threader, and cutting the thread after I’m at the end of whatever I’m sewing. This was because I’m losing my sight and I need these helpers to help me still sew. I see other people use the cutter and move on to the next piece with ease but my machine seems to have too short of a cut as the thread comes out and needs to be threaded often. And it can take me 30 minutes to retread be.cause I find the auto threader too hard to figure out and use. I am in love with my machine and am trying to figure it all out before I’m really blind and will really have to feel my way to do anything.
If you are near a dealer, I would suggest checking with them. I couln't use the threader either and had resigned myself to it. However when i mentioned this at my dealer they had someone sit with me and go over it. When i finally got it , it seemed so easy. Now i hsve no problems.
I have a TL 2010q and to wind the bobbin, my manual doesn’t say to put the thread into the tinny hole before going around the disk then thread it into the bobbin on the right. Yours looks better doing it that way.
I have trouble getting my needle threader to work from the start. I have to be sure to have a long tail or my thread comes out of the needle constantly!
Very helpful tips - guilty of using bobbin door to close! lol My TL18 started to skip stitches and I replaced needle, bobbin and bobbin case already. Still skipping😢 Any tips? Thank you!!!
Have had my TL2010Q for a few years and didn't know about the bobbin thread hole located below the bobbin tension winding disk. Opps! On your video, HOW TO OIL THE JUKI TL SEWING MACHINE! at 1:19 and again at 5:24, 7:28 and 8:13 you state that the 4 top oil spots should receive 1 to 2 drops every 3 to 4 months. To not over oil. Yet on this video you state every 3 to 4 hours. Quite a difference. Which is it?
Great question. We made this video before our updated version was released. We found that the user manual suggest oiling it a little to often. In fact our Juki rep is the man who suggested the new time frame for oiling. In this video we go over how to check ua-cam.com/video/7OCS4PDOXxQ/v-deo.html for yourself to make sure you don't over oil. I hope this helps. Thank you, David
@@JukiJunkies Thank you for clarifying this. I opened the bottom of my machine-- by removing the 6 screws --- and oh my, what a large pool of oil!! I cleaned it up, screwed it all back together and will be oiling once every few months now. No, I didn't take the top off but this engineer is quite tempted. One drop every few months into each of those 6 holes. I'm still putting a drop on the bobbin raceway with every bobbin change, correct? Thanks for making great videos!
Hi Juki Junkies,
We have an Updated video on new oiling methods that we have found to be much better :) (we recommend all 6 holes every 3-4 months not every 4 -6 hours of sewing ) Check it out here. ua-cam.com/video/SDE02I_1VJM/v-deo.html
I wanted to cry every time I had to change a needle on my TL, it was so difficult for my slightly arthritic fingers, I never had that prob on my old Brother. I tried a plastic thingy that is supposed to hold the needle, total junk. I got a really sturdy, metal, one at my local sewing store, really clamps on to the needle to get that sucker inserted correctly. It was the best 5.99 I spent, no more tears. 😊
Me too! Very same experience. I love my metal needle holder😊
Wow, that’s just sad. Sorry you had that issue. I never have not had that same experience. Glad it’s better for you now.
Do you know the name/brand of that metal needle holder you love? I need one! 😮
@@eljay5623 There is no name brand on it. I bought it at Montavilla Sewing in Beaverton, Oregon. It was 5.99. I tried to find one like it online but i can’t find it. Madam Sew has one that looks like it might be sturdy like mine.
Thank you @alicekelly4975! I’ll check it out!
I have neglected the bobbin area and never oiled it because I was afraid I would do it in the wrong spot. Thank you for clarifying!
No problem :)
I had no idea that I had to have the presser foot down to set the tension! Explains a lot of the reasons I was having problems getting the tension right. Thank you! I have only had my Juki for a couple of months, but I love it so far!
Glad I could help!
@@JukiJunkiesmost machine set tension with foot up. Had no idea!
I've had a TL2010 for about 6 years, and all that time I've been using the little door on the bobbin case to insert it into the machine. This explains why I've had occasional issues with the bobbin thread going all wonky because I never knew to listen for that "click"! Very helpful!
I learned several things the manual doesn’t discuss. Thanks for your dedication in helping TL Owners. ❤

Using the second spool holder to wind the bobbin best tip! You shared it and I was like…duh girl!!
I know but that means you have to have two cones of the exact same color of thread and that can get quite pricey
@@dcwatashi I can understand that. I basically only use 3 colored neutrals (in a light, medium and dark) so for me I have a full one always in each color and one I’m finishing up
@@kstorts7348 well I am a graphic designer as well so I like lots of colors. So having two of almost everything would not be economical

Cant make needle threader work. Anxious to see if it because wrong needle size. Thank you.
I am so glad I found Juki Junkies. My needle threader wasn’t working so I watched their video on the threader ordered the parts from them and it’s working now. Thanks so much guys.
We are so glad you found us!!!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. The tips are much appreciated. The tips on bobbin winding, threading and bobbin case oiling were most helpful for me. Thanks David!
This was really a great video on all the tips. I have learned so much. Next video add some tips on the thread cutter, sometimes after using mine and I sew a bit and use it again it brings up thread. Also sometimes while sewing it the bobbin gets wrapped up with thread and and I can't sew. I will try that bobbin tip! Thanks
Love this video!!! Super helpful!!!
Just found your channel. Love my 2 Juki machines. Enjoyed your video, very informative. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Hey thanks sooooo much for your videos. I went from freemotion quilting back to regular sewing and the reverse button was stuck. I just need to turn ine more button and rada! Found my error.
Glad I could help!
Glad I found your channel, I've had a juki for 3 years, and some stuff I suck at, like threading the needle 😢
The needle threader is a little finicky, just takes some practice :)
Thank you for this. Boy. I sure was putting the bobbin in incorrectly!!!
Great and informative video David! Thank you! I watched it in normal speed which I rarely do with any video, LOL :)
Wow... that's awesome to hear :)
Thank you,
David
Thank you . Very helpful 🎉🎉
You’re welcome 😊
Great vid! I will re-thread my machine once again exactly as shown.
My bobbin thread isn't being pulled up. 😮
There are no stitches! No bueno! 😢
Very helpful. Thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I have owned a TL2000 for about 10 years and did not know about the thread cutter with the industrial thread or even the heavier Tex thread. Thanks for the information.
Glad it was helpful!
Is tex 35 and tex 45 considered a commercial thread? Can I use it in both top and bobbin?
Not commercial but industrial. Oops
@@pattyharp725 I use tex 70 in my industrial Juki. I'm not sure about the 35/45 Tex.
Thank you so much! The tips you showed will be extremely helpful! I love my Juki TL2010Q! I always hold the handle when inserting my bobbin case. Now I know why I don’t hear the click!
A very informative video, however, you didn’t show how to actually use the needle threader. Do you have a separate video for that?
yes
Great video I have learned from your demonstrations. And look forward to more.
More to come!
Thank you so much for this video! I saw a few things I was doing incorrectly.
Glad it helped!
When the presser foot is down the tension disks are closed and you are more likely to NOT get the thread between the tension disks properly. The presser foot should always be up when you thread your machine. This is coming from 55 plus years of sewing on dozens of different machines.
I know what you mean I had to cringe when he said that
It’s solely preference. He mentioned it worked good for him to floss the thread through the disk as it’s shown to be more reliable. He never said do it his way. Keep doing it the way that works for you 😊
@@davidwilson7217 but it is not “shown” (whatever that means) to be more reliable his way. If it’s his opinion, he is incorrect. Even machine manufacturers will tell you to have the presser foot up when you thread it through the disks.
@@davidwilson7217 where is it shown to be more reliable?
Donna Nelson This is a common user error video. He runs a shop with tons of customer service calls on a daily basis. He sees where issues come from. On this specific model machine it seems to work best for him; To floss the thread in the disk. He never said do it this way, but he chooses to as that’s what works best for him. Continue to do it with the foot up if that works for you. However with the flossing method the thread seats well in the disk and doesn’t move out. He mentions in other videos he’s seen the thread come out of the disks when the foots up, from the slightest movements while continuing the threading process when past the tension disk.
Still learning how to use my new Juki.. a real learning curve, but she sews so nicely!!! Thanks for the info, most helpful.
I've been oiling the bobbin area in the wrong spot. It's hard to see exactly what the manual is pointing to. Thank you for these tips. I've had my Juki 2010 about 3 months and I love it. I ordered my machine from y'all.
I agree! The picture of the hook in the manual had me nuts!!!!!! I’m like - where IS THAT!!!!!??? Lol.
I didn't know the little hole before the tension disk needed to be threaded en route to the bobbin winder. I was also inserting the bobbin case while holding the little lever open, and I didn't know about the click.
I wonder if you should update this video regarding the frequency of oiling, since your more recent one says every 3 months is sufficient, as opposed to the user manual which has us oiling the machine much too frequently.
Thank you for this helpful video. I have ordered several times from Juki Junkies and have been very happy!
We appreciate your business so very much! Gigi ❤️
I use my TL18 to also wind my DX7 bobbins. That way I don’t have to unthread my machine just for a new bobbin. I get a better bobbin using the TL than on the DX🤷♀
Great video,,I just got my juki
Thanks for watching!
Wow, very helpful video. Nicely done!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Great information.
I'm having issues with skipped stitches, after watching this there are some things i've been doing wrong, and I think it's fixed🤩
Music to our ears!! Happy we could help!
When I placed my large throat plate on I did not insert properly around the feed dogs. I caught it just by manually lowering the needle to make sure the needle was aligned.
Thanks so much!!!
No problem
This is an excellent video. Thank you. I learned a ton and have saved it for future reference.
I needed to know about the tension. The instructions n manual are very basic.
Thank you very much. It was very helpful !
So very helpful…thank you!
I'm a newbie to sewing machines and just got a Juki...and I honestly had no clue how to set everything. Thank you for super informative video!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting
I was making the mistake of not putting the thread through the top hole to wind the bobbin. Wasn't mentioned in the manual.
Oiling my TL2000 as much as you mention in this video landed my machine in the shop, lol. I would back off a bit on oiling it THAT much, especially if you use the automatic thread cutter, like I do.
Yes we are just following that user manual. However we have found its definitely beneficial to not oil it that much and here is our updated video.

This is such an informative video. Thank you guys. You are the best!
I bought my Juki TL for 3 reasons. Just straight line plain stitch sewing, needle threader, and cutting the thread after I’m at the end of whatever I’m sewing. This was because I’m losing my sight and I need these helpers to help me still sew. I see other people use the cutter and move on to the next piece with ease but my machine seems to have too short of a cut as the thread comes out and needs to be threaded often. And it can take me 30 minutes to retread be.cause I find the auto threader too hard to figure out and use. I am in love with my machine and am trying to figure it all out before I’m really blind and will really have to feel my way to do anything.
If you are near a dealer, I would suggest checking with them. I couln't use the threader either and had resigned myself to it. However when i mentioned this at my dealer they had someone sit with me and go over it. When i finally got it , it seemed so easy. Now i hsve no problems.
I saw another video that showed that the pretension knob would govern the length of the thread tail of the cut. (I've not tested)
Wonderful review. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all of the great tips!
I have a TL 2010q and to wind the bobbin, my manual doesn’t say to put the thread into the tinny hole before going around the disk then thread it into the bobbin on the right. Yours looks better doing it that way.
I have trouble getting my needle threader to work from the start. I have to be sure to have a long tail or my thread comes out of the needle constantly!
Very helpful tips - guilty of using bobbin door to close! lol My TL18 started to skip stitches and I replaced needle, bobbin and bobbin case already. Still skipping😢 Any tips? Thank you!!!
Needle plate burrs?
Can you please do a video on jammed thread?
It is hard to replicate that :/ What exactly do you need help with?
We did figure it out. The tread got wrapped around the lever inside. So we did what the manual said. Some tips and tricks would help others.
Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Have had my TL2010Q for a few years and didn't know about the bobbin thread hole located below the bobbin tension winding disk. Opps!
On your video, HOW TO OIL THE JUKI TL SEWING MACHINE! at 1:19 and again at 5:24, 7:28 and 8:13 you state that the 4 top oil spots should receive 1 to 2 drops every 3 to 4 months. To not over oil. Yet on this video you state every 3 to 4 hours. Quite a difference. Which is it?
Great question. We made this video before our updated version was released. We found that the user manual suggest oiling it a little to often. In fact our Juki rep is the man who suggested the new time frame for oiling. In this video we go over how to check ua-cam.com/video/7OCS4PDOXxQ/v-deo.html for yourself to make sure you don't over oil. I hope this helps.
Thank you,
David
@@JukiJunkies Thank you for clarifying this. I opened the bottom of my machine-- by removing the 6 screws --- and oh my, what a large pool of oil!! I cleaned it up, screwed it all back together and will be oiling once every few months now. No, I didn't take the top off but this engineer is quite tempted. One drop every few months into each of those 6 holes. I'm still putting a drop on the bobbin raceway with every bobbin change, correct?
Thanks for making great videos!
Excellent video! Thanks so much!
