You guys are blowing my mind with these videos!! I had no idea my TL2010Q could actually perform this well! I ordered the thick plate today. Now I need to order some thread! Thank you so much!
Thank you thank you! I’ve been looking on websites & asking sewing machine shops who sell the Juki machines about using Tech 70 thread on my Juki 2020 PE sewing machine to no avail. Finally! Now I know I can use this thread & how to set machine up to use this thread. YAY!!!
@@barbtatham Rob Appell that is probably not how do you spell his name his channel is called “stitchin heaven” and he does have a video about troubleshooting tension. Did you put different color thread in the top and in the bobbin? That is supposed to be a good way to troubleshoot.
I’m making leather baby shoes. My leather will be between 2.5 to 3.5 oz or up to 1.4mm thick. What tension should I use? I was also told to use a 92 bonded nylon thread? What should presser foot pressure be set at?
Gigi, all is working on my TL 18 with Tex 70 except for loading the bobbin. Every time I try, the bobbin thread is loose and, thus, the bobbin thread on the fabric is too loose and bottom stitches are a mess. When loading a bobbin with Tex 70, should I be doing something different than with my regular Glide thread? Thank you for all the support.
What quilting weight of thread can this machine handle? Is there a range? I cannot find anything regarding thread weight in my manual. Will I need to adjust my tension(s) too? I'm so scared to change it though because it took me a bit to get it just right for quilt block piecing. Thank you, JJ!! 😊
You can use all the way up to tex 70 thread (industrial thread) on this machine. For quilting we recommend glide 40w polyester thread. With a quick tension adjustment you can change the tension of thread easily. Check out our tension video here ruclips.net/video/lZERDh2z1yU/видео.html
do you thread the machine any differently with the heavier thread? Still just go through 2 of the the 3 holes? Would you use the tex 70 for the entire bag construction of just the topstitching ?
Very similar to the one and only thing I want to use this machine for. Would you say its built to sew leather steady or just occasionally like a domestic machine. Trying to decide between this or an industrial machine
Its not cut out to sew leather daily :) However in industrial is. Industrials are very one purpose driven machines so its nice to still have the Tl to do the lighter weight materials and industrial for the leather and heavier stuff only. We will do a video on this soon. Feel free to call us and discuss more 813-661-9000 10am-4pm Est Thank you, David
I got and love using the Tex45 on my TL18 but the sound of the machine is so much louder, like a knocking sound. Is that normal?? The stitch quality is good.
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm having a hard time with my TL2000, using the Coats extra strength thread. The tension in both the bobbin and top have to be maxed out for a nice stitch. Any tips? Also I think my size 18 needle is catching on the stock throat plate. The machine will randomly stop and groan when the needle tries to go down through the fabric. I will definitely be getting your thread and plate recommendations! Many thanks for any advance for any other tips.
I would make sure to check out some of the thread we offer on our website. We do not like coats and clark thread. We have seen lots of tension issues using that thread. What material are you trying to see ? The thick throat plate wil definetly help.
Thanks so much for the quick tutorial packed with tips! Can you please post the link to the teflon foot and the throat plate on your website if you sell them? Thanks
What is the reason not to use the thread cutter with tex 70? Also, will the TL-2000QI sew as slow as the machine you are using in this video? I know it doesn't have the speed control on the machine, and speed is only regulated with the foot peddle. But wanted to know if the 2000QI can go as slow with this machine. I sew a lot at slow speeds and use tex 70 thread a lot. thanks!
It will be hard to be consistent on a TL2000... The thread cutter isn't designed to cut industrial threads. It will work once or twice but you will jam it fast or dull your blades. -HD
Hi, info i was looking for my local store didn't know. I'm considering adding this machine to my stable, and my work horse for leather goods is my post bed industrial machine, but like idea of this for lighter weight leathers & having flat bed! I use Tex70 & some 45/46. When you say don't use the auto cutter on "heavier threads", what is that cutoff? Does that include cotton top stitching threads, too, or just any size of bonded nylon? Thanks!
TEX 70 is the thickest you can sew and cut with this machine. We recommend not using the cutter a ton as it will dull the blade faster than normal quilting threads.
How do you wind the bobbins with this thread? When I try, the thread goes everywhere because it's so slippery. I have a LOT of experience with this machine as well as others (incl. the Cobra Class 4 with nylon threads for sewing leather & heavy canvas). I just can't get enough tension in this bobbin winder to pin down the nylon thread. Thanks!!
I’ve just purchased this machine. I sew 4-6 layers of fleece and batting. I don’t believe I need the Tex 70. My past machine I was using Tex 100 but found it to be too thin. What size Tex should I be using. I use polyester. This machine is the most powerful I’ve every had so I’m not sure about the thread choice. Thanks.
I think you are confusing TEX weight with thread wt. a TEX100 is way to thick for your domestic TL series....but a 100wt would be super duper thin. Yes, thread weight is very confusing. I would recommend a TEX40 or TEX45 (for reference, a TEX30 is all purpose thread weight) you could use a TEX70 also. Wawak (in USA) sells thread and lists the TEX weight. Guterman is a great brand to use too.
@@The126869 Thank you very much!! I can order Wawak in Canada. Guttermann is my usual choice. Is there a different brand they have that you would recommend? I’m so excited to sew with my new machine. Keep your videos coming!!!

Yes, when using regular domestic thread. Here is a whole different category of thread which is industrial so this is the lightest version in the INDUSTRIAL threads.

@@JukiJunkies thank you 🙏🏻
And don’t forget to adjust the top tension a lot! I always end up around 3-4 when I use such a heavy thread!
Very important, yes ! Thank you!
It would be great if you did a video with tension settings and Tex 70. I never get it right and gave up.

Hi from England and thank you for the vlog. Would you please explain why we should not use the thread cutter when sewing with thicker thread?
You can it will just dull the blades much faster

Why do we not use cutter with Tex 70.?
Great demonstration! What stitch length do you recommend?
Its a personal preference , but when using industrial thread you want to see those stitches so I like to use 3.5 and above :)
I bought a used Juki TL98e. Can I use Tex 70 and a size 16 needle on it?
yes
Hi. How do you get Tex 70 to wind onto the bobbin? I tried and it wound too loosely and was falling off. Thank you.
Watch this video to wind it on ruclips.net/video/zr-Gw44XN5s/видео.html
I got and love using the Tex45 on my TL18 but the sound of the machine is so much louder, like a knocking sound. Is that normal?? The stitch quality is good.
I would have to hear it to see. Oil it maybe and see if that helps, check the take up lever and make sure its not hitting anything.
can you show how to use the walking foot?

Thanks--whew, so it can cut the Tex70, but have to figure out how to sharpen the thread cutter blades more frequently to keep it working!😅
what stitch lenghth did you use?
Anything passed the 3.5

It should be no different.. What thread are you trying to use?
@@JukiJunkies mine won't wind at all...I hear it running but it won't pull the thread through the tension disc. I have the TL 2010Q
What number should the top tension be on and do you need to engage the micro lifter when using Glide industrial thread?
The top tension is different on every machine. around 3 is pretty standard for this machine. And no, you don't. Only if you're working with real bulk.
Are there smaller spools of that thread? :)
no :/

You can try it out however I've never tried this out so its hard to say.
Yes I do use it in my machine and works great !
Why can’t we use the thread cutter or the needle threader? I have a juki tl-2010
You can’t use it on industrial thread because it’s too thick. It will dull your blade.
Can you use industrial thread in julki tl2000
At the beginning of the video, she mentioned all of the machines that can use this thread
What machine are you using?
We are using the TL 18 QVP
Would like to see the backside of your fabrics.
I am accustom to the larger number is finer thread. Why is this 70? That is confusing
Yes, when using regular domestic thread. Here is a whole different category of thread which is industrial so this is the lightest version in the INDUSTRIAL threads.
Can't we short cut this machines technical number name and just call it "Haruka"? Pretty please 😄
Can you help me having those decoration stickers. They look sexy nice😮🎉😮❤

Can I use the thread cutter with something like Gutermann TERA 80 (tex 35) thread? What's the cut-off point for avoiding the thread cutter?
That should be fine :) We typically stop at tex 45
