How much room is that, really?
The Juki TL-2000Qi's claimed 8.5″ harp width is wider than 2 of the 30 machines with published widths in this database (median: 11.3″). Within its class — high-speed straight stitch — the average published width is 8.6″.
Height matters as much as width when half a quilt is rolled in the harp: at 5.9″ of claimed vertical space, a rolled queen is workable with good basting and a pool-noodle roll.
Spec note: Juki's US spec page does not publish throat dimensions; 8.5″ × 5.9″ is the figure published by major Juki retailers. Some dealers market the TL line as a ‘9-inch arm’ — measure before you rely on it.
Worth knowing
- Cheapest entry into the Juki TL family
- 1,500 SPM industrial-style straight stitch
- Same aluminum casting as the TL-2010Q, minus speed slider and a few conveniences
