Juki Haruka TL-18QVP Collectors Edition Quilting Machine Details
Juki's Haruka TL-18QVP translates to "Beyond," and that is exactly what this machine does. It goes slightly further than its cousins, the TL-2010Q and the TL-2000Qi. The TL-18QVP Collectors Edition is still a single-needle, lockstitch workhorse ideal for everyday sewists and quilters who need to finish projects quickly and professionally. The Juki TL-18QVP Collector's Edition sewing machine is a versatile, high-performance machine with its sleek, industrial-style build. This machine combines durability with precision, making it ideal for detailed projects that require superior stitching quality. It features a robust aluminum die-cast arm and bed for reduced vibration, ensuring stable and consistent sewing. The TL-18QVP offers an impressive sewing speed of up to 1,500 stitches per minute, allowing users to complete their projects efficiently. Additionally, its automatic thread trimming function, adjustable presser foot pressure, knee lifter, and wide extension table provide added convenience and flexibility for handling large fabrics and intricate quilting designs. The TL-18QVP weighs approximately 25 pounds, but it's still portable and can be easily packed in a rolling carrier to take to quilting retreats and sewing groups.
Thread Tension Scale
This feature allows you to adjust your tension based not only on your fabric weight but also on the weight of your thread, creating a more balanced tension.
Adjustable LED Light
LED lighting allows you to sew or quilt for hours on end without the eye strain that's associated with traditional bulbs. This illuminates your project without putting off unsafe heat and lasts substantially longer than traditional sewing machine bulbs. A switch in the needle area allows you to adjust the brightness of the light between high, medium, low, and off. Adjust the brightness to make hard-to-see seams and your stitching area easier to see.
Even Feed Foot
The Juki TL-18QVP comes with an included even feed foot at no extra cost. Also known as a walking foot, it works wonders when sewing multiple layers of fabric. The top teeth sandwich the layers of fabric with the feed dogs, ensuring reliable and beautiful seams.
Heavyweight Materials
Juki's TL-18QVP easily sews through thick materials such as denim, vinyl, and leather. A special speed control mechanism allows the machine to sew at low speeds. This provides an accurate feed and perfect stitching when sewing heavyweight fabrics, quilts, or multiple layers of materials.
Automatic Needle Threader
Thread your machine in seconds with the automatic needle threader. No need to squint or search the old-fashioned needle threads; this machine does it for you.
Sub Tension Unit
The improved thread tension system intelligently avoids the return of twisted threads, even when using strongly twisted thread, giving you a more stable stitch tension and eliminating "thread quivering".
Drop Feed Dogs
No need to install a special darning plate to do free motion quilting. The Juki TL18QVP has a built-in lever that, when pressed, automatically lowers the feed dogs so you can quickly switch to free-motion quilting.
Knee Lift Lever
This is an essential feature for efficient quilting. This allows you to keep both hands on your quilt while using your knee to lift the presser foot; you'll never go back to quilting without one again!
Speed Control Dial
This is especially useful with detailed quilting, like feathering and stippling. The speed control can be lowered to as slow as 200spm or maxed out at 1500spm.
Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
This is a must-have feature for those serious about creating the perfect stitch. This knob allows you to adjust the force exerted on your fabric by the presser foot, which improves how your fabric is fed through your machine.
Automatically Stops in Needle Down Position
An essential feature for quilters, the needle automatically stops in the down position, which prevents your fabric from shifting out of place when pivoting.
Easy Bobbin replacement with sliding plate
This feature allows the user to access the bobbin even with the auxiliary table is in place. The enlarged bobbin case area makes it easier to remove and replace the front-loading bobbin case.
Automatic Thread Cutting with Foot Control
Save yourself time and reduce thread waste by simply pressing the thread-cutting button located on the front of your machine. For more efficient sewing, use the foot pedal to trim both your needle and bobbin thread at the same time; simply rock back onto your heel to engage the automatic thread cutter.
Float Function (Micro-Lifter)
One of the reasons the TL-18QVP is the top of the line in the TL Series is because of the Float Function (Micro-Lifter). This advanced feature is something that you normally only see on industrial machines. The Float Function will prevent uneven sewing on quilts and velvet, as well as stretched stitches on knit fabrics. The presser foot "floats" 0 to 2mm above the material, making it useful for sewing over thick seams.
Attachment Mounting Plate
Included on the Haruka is a separate attachment mounting plate for installing fabric guides and other attachments. This plate helps to extend the life of your sewing machine, as it can now be replaced when the mounting holes become damaged.
Slow-Motion Switch
Another problem-solving feature on the Haruka is the Slow-Motion Stitch. Each press of the needle up/down switch moves the needle halfway up or down, but if you hold the button down, you can sew a slow single stitch. Sewing a stitch at a time can be especially useful when sewing corners or at the end of stitching.
TL-18QVP with Q-Zone Hoop Frame
Pair your Juki Haruka TL-18QVP with a Q-Zone Hoop Frame for the ultimate at-home quilting experience. The 8.5" throat space allows you to sew large projects on the frame comfortably. Grace's Q-Zone Hoop Frame has an adjustable frame and only takes up 4.5 feet of space. Included with the Q-zone Hoop Frame, you get bungee clamps, quilt clips, and the top carriage.
Juki TL-18QVP WITH CUTIE Breeze TABLETOP FRAME
If you've ever wanted to try quilting on a frame but didn't have space or didn't want to invest that much money, then the Cutie Breeze Tabletop Fabric Frame from Grace Company is the answer to your woes. This compact frame allows you to do everything a ten or twelve-foot frame can do for a fraction of the space and cost. The Cutie Breeze can handle king-sized quilts and be stored away when you are through.
