How I Performed Brain Surgery on my Juki TL-2010Q!


Have you ever tried to fix your own sewing machine? I got to see exactly how my Juki TL-2010Q looked on the inside when I took it apart – under supervision, of course!

She wasn’t broken really. The circuit (or whatever it is) that makes the needle disengage and stop moving when I am filling bobbins stopped working. I could still sew fine. And fill bobbins too – if I didn’t mind the needle going up and down a million miles a minute while I did it.


Since this sewing machine is still under warranty, I called the help line, chatted with a technician a bit, and he explained how to remove the top cover from the head (it’s actually called that). I then emailed him this photo that I took with my iPhone.

After he saw the photo, he sent me a UPS label so I could send the top part in for repair. Thank goodness he can fix it without me sending in the whole machine… it’s heavy!

I’m feeling down without my Juki but expecting the return of her top cover (scalp?) on Monday and can’t wait. You can read more about this sewing machine in blog posts {here} and {here}.

I love this sewing machine so much I put it on my list of the best sewing machines you can buy on Amazon.

Happy Sewing!
