Specifications

Launched at Long Beach Quilt Show July 2012. Introduced at Japan Sewing Machine Show Osaka in September, Houston Quilt Show in October. Available March April 2013.

The Juki TL-2200QVP Quilt Virtuoso Pro Long Arm Quilter is the newest Long Arm Quilting Machine from Juki. Final specs to be announced here.

Unique Design
The Quilt Virtuoso Pro has a slim sleek and sturdy design, unlike any Long Arm Quilting Machines to date!

Extra Large Throat Space
Discover the impressive 18 inches of horizontal throat space between the arm of the machine and the needle. Even more impressive is the 10 inch height, unlike most long arm quilting machines which only provide an 8 inch height or less.

Bright LED Lights
Ultra Bright LED Lights over the needle area illuminate your workspace like never before, making it easy to see detailed work, while simultaneously reducing strain on your eyes.

Built-in Scissors
Convenient automatic scissors simultaneously trims the top and bottom thread. No other Long Arm QUilting Machine has this feature!

Ergonomic Handles
The TL2200 QVP comes equipped with ergonomic handles for ease and comfort while quilting. The ergonomic handles swivel into micro handles for precise close up detailed work!

Needle Up/Down
Easily move the needle up or down with the included Needle Up/Down Button. If the machine is off you can use the easy to reach hand wheel on the front of the machine allowing you to raise and lower the needle without having to turn on the machine or reach all the way around to the wheel on the back of the machine.

Independent bobbin winder
The built-in bobbin winder has its own motor independent of the machine, so you can wind bobbins while you continue to quilt or while the machine is idle.

Ultra Glide Tracking System
Eight Ball bearings hug the track of the frame, ensuring smooth even quilting at all times.

Take-up Bar The included take-up bar allows you to roll up your quilt all the way without making any adjustments to the frame, unlike most other quilting machine frames where you have to adjust the rails up and down as the quilt fills the machine throat.

Made in Japan
The TL2200QVP is made and assembled entirely in Juki's leading industrial manufacturing plant in Japan - not China or Taiwan.

Leader in sewing and quilting
Juki is the Leading manufacturer of industrial sewing machines worldwide. Juki has taken this industrial knowledge and experience and put it into this long arm quilting machine for home use. The result is a unique heavy-duty high quality long arm quilting machine that all quilters are sure to love.
