- I bought this machine for its 12" of throat space against my 7.5" on my Bernina B 530.
In addition to sharing with you my considerations, I want to provide some first impressions. The feature : dollar benefit on this machine is extraordinary compared to my Bernina. But....there are some things that I lament...BUT the things I adore outweigh my lamentations.
Hello! I hope you had a joyful day! I spent the day with talented ladies and we were all sewing. I just want you to know how much I enjoy your content. I hope you have a happy week ahead! Thank you for sharing your video and your expertise.
I have had this machine for 2 years. I love it. One of the best features is the ability to pivot. No need ( for me anyway) for a knee lifter which just gets in my way. You can set the pivot feature to different heights as well as turn it off if wanted. The smart feed is wonderful and easy to use. No need for a walking foot and as you stated you can not put one on separately. I love the interchangeable plates. They are super simple to change and it makes it easy to clean around the bobbin area. I use my machine for quilting almost exclusively. I have no problem with the foot system or getting a consistent seam allowance. So many great features. ❤️ this machine
Chris, thanks so much for your comment. Hey, I recently got a foot for this machine that I think that you might like. It's the edge stitch foot that works with the Smart Feed system (Edge Stitch Foot, Juki #40245090). It is fantastic for stitch in the ditch, and wonderful for applying binding. (I machine bind and topstitch to the front.) It is also wonderful for joining batting.
I love this machine. So many great features.
I had a Bernina, I agree that the feet are excellent. However when it comes to throat space this machine is very inexpensive, compared to a Bernina. I gave up my Bernina 440 for Juki F300. I also limit how much I’m spending. I purchased this machine for $1,999 from and online dealer known for excellent customer service. While I really loved the Bernina, I didn’t like the 5 inch throat space on the machines that cost less. My Juki F 300 is every bit as good as the Bernina. I like your honest opinion especially about scant quarter inch foot. I also have a Juki TL 2010 and that machine is fantastic. I also have a Necchi Mira and. Kenmore 158-902. Yes, you do like machines for different reasons. I’m not quilting precise pieces like you. I’m more go with flow type of quilter and tend to like more freedom than those very beautifully done projects. Enjoy both your machines for the reasons stated.
"However when it comes to throat space this machine is very inexpensive, compared to a Bernina." I absolutely agree. I always say that one will get more features per dollar with a Juki or similar than a European brand.
Enjoyed the video 🎉
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Appreciate your honest inputs!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I love this machine for quilting. The large throat space is a dream
@@notesfromleisa-land - I have a Juki TL2010Q which I love. Doing some research to determine if I should get a Juki or Bernina computerized sewing machine with a bigger throat space, decorative stitches and reasonable pricing. By the way, I also fell in love with quilting about two years ago. 😊
@@jackielin3838 I finally reached a time in my life that I could have a hobby about 3 years ago.
I would recommend that you get a high quality machine that has as much throat space as you can afford.
I should note, too, that the Kirei is being discontinued, so there are some good deals to be had. It has so many bells and whistles. Though you can get those in a Bernina, you have to pay up and you still will not get 12" of throat space. I'm thrilled with my machine. 12" of throat space has made it so easy to quilt large projects.
Think about and balance the features that you would like to have (features I love and would not want to be without: throat space, straight/regular stitch plates, smart feed (a/k/a dual feed) system, thread cutting, automatic starting and ending programming for stitches) against what you wish to invest.
Good luck with your choice. I hope you will pop back in and advise.
@@notesfromleisa-land Thanks so much for your advice, Leisa! I'm not in a rush to make a decision. But I will surely let you know when I do. :)
You got a great deal! Not sure you listed so much info on your other machine. Maybe change the title to “compared assets of Juki to X”
I wasn't really comparing the Juki to anything else, rather presenting my thoughts on this machine for my intended use.
I bought my Juki NX7 for the same reason- 12”! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Nancy, fantastic. Make sure that you download the JUKI accessory catalog tinyurl.com/jukiaccessorypdf If you want a metal ruler foot, you will need to get the right adapter. You will also need the catalog to get the correct quilting hopper feet. My came with the plastic ruler foot.
Since I have had my Juki, I have been able to comfortably complete several large quilts. The Smart Feed systems is superb for straight line quilting. It does FMQ beautifully too, but I noticed that thread tension and needles need particular attention. (I still dislike piecing on it, and I use my Bernina for that.)
I hope you enjoy your new machine. I don't think that you can find better bang for the buck in terms of features.
Yes the throat space is awesome. Are you still liking this machine
Yes, for that reason primarily. (And I did some amen sistah with you on my last response.) What type of sewing do you primarily do?
It is fantastic for paper piecing too if you do that with its start/stop and thread cutting features (that my Bernina 530 does not have). I have both machines setup (as I have a dedicated sewing lair), so it makes it easy to use the wanted/needed features.
The issue with the quilt table is easily solved by adjusting the quilt table feet to bring it level with needle plate.
Thanks for your comment. My issue is with the needle plate which sticks up on the main arm. There is no remedy for it except for a redesign. However, the Sew Steady overlay provides for a smoother experience. I accept that the bevel likely delivers the interchange of the needle plate and feed dogs which would otherwise not be available for a flush mounted plate. Still enjoying its many useful features.
I want to love this machine but so far not see much. It keeps sucking the fabric in. I really love my 2010 Q it doesn’t do that. I need to know if I change the plate will it stop doing that.
Extra care needs to be taken on the initial feed. If not using one, consider a leader/ender.
I have experienced the dreaded fabric sucking recently sewing a knit. (I was making a panty muslin--and had to cut the @#$%!#$^ thing out of the throat plate). I had the wider plate as I was using stretch stitches. I changed my needle (though I had a new one) and that helped.
I would check your needle, tension, and foot pressure for your fabric. But your experience is a shared one. I do NOT piece my quilting on this machine as I prefer my Bernina B530, and most specifically my Bernina gated foot (v. the flimsy flanged foot on the Juki).
However, I do all of my quilting on this machine, which is the primary reason I bought it for the 12" throat space. As I bought this used ($1,500), I feel that it was a good value.
HZL-NX7 Vs DX-4000QVP Which one is the best option?😮😮
I'm not able to answer. But if you are considering these machines, I might suggest you call Juki Junkies. Or review their videos online. I bought my machine used at significant savings because I'm cheap. As with any machine purchase, matching the machine's features with your primary intended usage is key to being satisfied. Good luck.
@@notesfromleisa-land I don't like the plate switch in the DX-4000QVP to have straight stitches.
@@rhoodj You can use any stitch (straight or other) with either of the plates. The advantage of a ST plate is that is has a single hole. The single hole provides less area for material to travel through and can improve the accuracy of stitches. There is a sensor on the plate that locks out any needle position moves or other stitches than the straight stitches. My Bernina B530 does not have a sensor on the plate, so I can piece with it and get up to two clicks to the right. Once click gives me a perfect scant.
What are your thoughts about this machine after 2 years?
Hi Susan. I have an embarrassment of riches in my sewing room. I use my Bernina B530 exclusively for piecing with my main tool being the #57 gated 1/4" foot. I can use needle position to get perfect scant when needed without a bunch of props. I use my Juki Kirei for paper piecing (because it has great features), straight line quilting (I am a simple quilter). I have a Juki TL18 which I use to do my machine binding. I still intensely dislike the raise in the throat plate which I consider a design flaw. Also, the thread has a tendency to get grabbed by the threader. It is hard for any one machine to be great at everything. Among the machines, I get the piecing accuracy I want (Bernina); high end features that make paper piecing enjoyable (start/stop sequence, thread cutting), 12" throat space (Kirei); robust single stitch with helpful feet (compensating feet and edge stitch feet) that lend more finesse to final details and the ability to use larger needles + tech thread (TL18). Each of machines were bought a steep discount. I have 3 for the price of what the Bernina B530 sold at retail.
@@notesfromleisa-land Thank you for your detailed answer. I really appreciate it.
I have found the silicone measuring mat that comes with the machine to cover the table and fits snuggly around the needle plate helps eliminate the needle plate raise. You should never be embarrassed about the sewing machines that you have. You deserve it .
Is this machine semi industrial? Does it sew through leather? Thank you
No, it is not a semi industrial and I would not use it to sew through leather.
@@notesfromleisa-land thank you 😊
@@notesfromleisa-land thank you.
I need a semi-industrial with straight & zigzag stitchings without need to change needle plates
I have to wonder why you purchased this machine over a bernina ?
Fair question. I have two Bernina's a 910 (30 + years old)and a newer B530. The Kirei has 12" of throat space against the my Bernina which has 8. I primarily bought this machine to quilt more comfortably. I bought it like-new used condition for 1500. It has many more features than my B 530 (which I bought on closeout) dual feed, auto start and stop patterns, thread cutting. I love my Berninas, but to try to quilt on it, even though the machine came with the Bernina Stitch Regulator was like wrestling an allipython. I would have had to spend many thousands more to get the same capabilities as Bernina.
hello very nice lady please kindly film how to thread and operate this sewing machine please OK?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much

The part you have on the foot you are showing stays on the machine permanently and you just click the feet on and off. You are not being fair in your opinions. You need to just quit with your assessment and stick with your Bernina. You are doing more harm than good.
Your feedback is nonsense. Please move along.
@@notesfromleisa-land And so is your opinion,
@@frankiemelanson6600 It is. Move along.
