TL-18QVP is a single needle, lock-stitch, portable sewing machine, constructed of aluminum die-casting to ensure industrial-quality sewing. Exceptional quilting with new built-in float function.
As a reflection of JUKI’s Japanese heritage, the TL-18QVP was named Haruka meaning “beyond.” Go beyond expectation with Haruka!
Now equipped with the same mechanism as JUKI industrial sewing machines for preventing uneven sewing on quilts and velvet, as well as stretched stitches on knit fabrics. The presser foot floats 0 to 2 mm above the material, making it useful for sewing over thick seams.
The height of the presser foot can be adjusted by turning the micro-lifter dial to allow the sewing machine to begin sewing with the presser foot slightly lifted (by approximately up to 2 mm).
No matter the thread type, sub-tension ensures stitches are sewn with a balanced thread tension. Achieve Perfectly balanced threads with every stitch.
Strongly twisted threads can make for unruly stitches. (above)
Sub-tension creates steady stitches by putting an end to stitches that come up.(below)
The sewing speed can be set between 200 and 1,500 stitches per minute when using the foot controller.
The automatic needle threader quickly and easily threads the needle without eyestrain, allowing you to change thread colors as often as you wish.
A separate attachment mounting plate for installing fabric guides and other attachments.
This extends the life of the sewing machine, as it can now be replaced when the mounting holes become damaged.
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 stitching area easier to see.
With a large work area of up to 23 inches (with auxiliary table attached), the TL-18QVP can handle large quilts with ease.
Turn the regulator on top of the machine to adjust the presser foot pressure according to the thickness of the fabric.
Each press of the needle up/down switch moves the needle halfway up or down.
Hold the switch down to sew a slow single stitch ― useful when sewing corners and at the end of stitching.
The feed dog can be raised and lowered by moving the lever. Perform free-motion quilting and free-hand embroidery with ease.
Automatically trim thread by pressing the controller with your heel.
*Automatic thread trimming can be turned off by attaching a foot switch stopper.
Perfectly trim the needle and bobbin threads with the simple push of a button.
Industrial sewing machine technology provides exceptional durability, noise control and cutting.
Sewing can continue after automatic cutting even if the bobbin thread is not visible above the throat plate.
Machine body is made of a die-cast aluminum frame, minimizing vibration and noise.
Professional performance is maintained by employing the same technology found in JUKI industrial sewing machines.
A vertical full rotary hook as in JUKI industrial sewing machines produces beautiful balanced and even stitching. Quiet smooth operation even at speeds up to 1,500 stitches per minute.
Bobbin replacement is a breeze even with the auxiliary table installed, thanks to a large bobbin case opening and a removable plate in the auxiliary table.
Open or close the bobbin case latch to allow the vertical bobbin case to be inserted into or removed from the machine with ease. This bobbin case also allows you to adjust the bobbin thread tension.
The knee lifter lever allows you to lift/lower the presser foot without using your hands.
The presser foot can be raised as high as 12 mm, making it easy to insert thick fabrics and large projects.
The slit in the thread take-up makes threading extremely easy.
Prepare the bobbin for winding simply by installing it on the bobbin winder.
The bobbin stops spinning automatically when it is full.
Use the thread tension scale to easily adjust the tension according to the thread and material to be used.
Sew anytime, anywhere with this portable but powerful machine equipped with a carrying handle.
Creates even 1/4 inch seams for perfect piecing.
Use for stabilizing stitching 1/4" (6.5 mm) to the left of a thick seam.
Powerfully feeds multiple fabric layers from both top and bottom without shifting.
Measures rows for evenly spaced quilt lines.
Allows for more visibility during free motion quilting.
Use for free motion quilting to glide smoothly and evenly over fabric layers.
Create equally spaced free motion quilting lines, perfect for echo quilting.
