Creative Backpacks
Create unique bags with your Juki TL machine, just like Michelle N. did here. She sews effortlessly through a variety of materials, including a paper bag, canvas, denim, vinyl, and more.

Sew Faux Leather
Michelle N. outdid herself again with this stunning faux leather bag.
For best results, use a non-stick 90/14 or 100/16 needle when sewing layers of faux leather, along with the smooth presser foot to prevent the leather from sticking.

Canvas Bags
Sew effortlessly through layers of canvas and webbing. Thank you, Bryan, for sharing your beautiful bag with us.
When working with canvas, we recommend using needles with larger eyes, such as Schmetz denim needles, for optimal performance.

Create Easy Quilt Patterns
Create easy, enjoyable projects like the White Cloud Quilt pattern for friends and family.
Bind your quilts effortlessly using the left compensating foot, paired with our favorite thread — Glide 40wt — for both quilting and binding! Glide 40wt has a beautiful sheen that enhances your stitches. For best results, use it with 90/14 topstitch needles.

A World of Possibilities
The Juki TL is incredibly versatile for every step of the quilting process — from precise ¼" seams to quilting with the walking foot or free-motion quilting and even finishing with binding. Keep up the amazing work, @kinderedquiltco!

Sew Patches & Canvas
No job is too small for this powerhouse of a machine. Just look at the number of patches Seth sewed for his friend. For sewing through multiple layers like these, we recommend using a Schmetz topstitch needle for optimal performance.

Sew Alterations
Look at this adorable creation! The Juki TL-2000QI is an excellent choice for those seeking simplicity, whether working on alterations or creating an entirely new garment like this charming little dress.

Stay Warm and Cozy
Michelle C. put her TL-2000QI to the test with her first project — a warm and cozy poncho for her 13-month-old granddaughter. She was thrilled with the results and excited to continue creating beautiful pieces with her new machine.
Standard Features:
- Automatic Thread Trimmer: Cut both top and bobbin threads effortlessly using the foot controller or the push-button on the machine.
- Built-in Needle Threader: Easily thread your needle with the push of the automatic needle threader — no straining required.
- Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment: Fine-tune the pressure according to your fabric by turning the regulator located on top of the machine.
- Drop Feed dogs: Lower the feed dogs for free-motion quilting and sew smooth, curved stitches with control and accuracy.
- Needle Stop Position: Perfect for pivoting or precise free-motion work. The needle will stop in the down position.
- Thread Recommendations: Juki TL machines are incredibly versatile — built to handle everything from fine to industrial threads. Use lightweight threads, common thread weights like Cairo-Quilt and Glide 40, medium options like Fusion Tex 45, or even heavier threads like Tex 70. Whether you're quilting, piecing, or sewing bags, the TL series delivers consistent results across the board.
- Easy Oiling: Designed with accessible oiling points to simplify routine maintenance and keep the machine running smoothly. Refer to the video below on how to oil.
- Hands-Free Knee Lift: Raise or lower the presser foot with a tap of your knee — keeping your hands free to manage your project. The knee lift allows up to 12mm of clearance, ideal for handling thicker fabrics.
The Juki TL-2000QI is the simplest model in the TL series. We call it the "Bare Bones TL." It offers versatility in sewing and consistent performance, but it lacks some of the bells and whistles found in other models. It’s a great budget-friendly mechanical machine for users who are mindful of cost.
Let’s break down what “bare bones” means: there is no speed control and no tension dial to regulate stitch length or thread tension. The machine comes with a standard foot, walking foot, knee lift, and extension table. To see how it compares to other TL models, visit their respective pages here.
This machine is gentle enough for garment sewing, creates gorgeous, consistent stitches for quilters, and is tough enough for bag makers working with faux leather, denim, and even canvas.
Juki Junkies owner, aka Gigi, has affectionately named its stitches the “dinosaur humps” — you can see each stitch beautifully woven into the fabric.
Constructed with a durable aluminum die-cast frame, the TL-2000QI reduces vibration for smoother sewing and professional-looking results.

Review by M. Naro
Simple yet powerful! After a great deal of research, this replaced my grandmother's long-ago gifted industrial Riccar, also a straight-stitch, heavy, metal beast. I did not need options, only power, speed and precision. The 2000Qi fit the bill perfectly, while also smaller and far easier to move about. Its precision and strength has impressed me with every project: garments, bags, home decor, quilts and even a coated canvas car cover! No matter what I give it, it performs, and performs quickly and so, so well. The thread cutter, I admit, has spoiled me, and so perhaps I will move up to another industrial or a larger model someday. But it will certainly be another Juki of this line when I do!
