JUKI TL-2000Qi  

is a legendary "workhorse" that bridges the gap between home sewing and industrial performance. A high-speed, single-needle straight-stitch machine, it is designed specifically for quilting, tailoring, and home decor. 

Constructed with an aluminum die-cast frame, this machine significantly reduces vibration while sewing at speeds of up to 1,500 stitches per minute. With a spacious 23-inch work area (when using the included extension table) and an industrial-style sub-tension system, it handles everything from delicate silks to thick quilt batting with flawless consistency. 

  • Professional Quilting: Perfect for piecing, free-motion quilting, and stippling with the included specialized feet. 
  • Tailoring & Dressmaking: Industrial-grade straight stitching for garment assembly and finishing. 
  • Home Decor: Sewing heavy curtains, slipcovers, and upholstery projects. 
  • Bag Making: Provides the piercing power required for multiple layers of canvas and light leather. 
  • Blazing Speed: Delivers up to 1,500 SPM, allowing you to breeze through large quilts and long seams in record time. 
  • Automatic Thread Trimmer: Simultaneously trims the needle and bobbin threads with a simple press of a button or a tap of the foot controller. 
  • Aluminum Die-Cast Body: The industrial-grade frame ensures low vibration and extreme durability for heavy daily use. 
  • Extended Workspace: Comes standard with a large extension table, providing a massive flat surface for managing bulky quilts and heavy fabrics. 
  • Advanced Thread Tension: Features an industrial sub-tension scale that prevents thread twisting and quivering at high speeds. 
  • Knee Lifter: Allows you to raise and lower the presser foot hands-free, essential for pivoting corners and intricate quilting. 
  • LED Lighting: Bright, cool-running LED bulbs illuminate the needle area for better visibility on dark fabrics. 
  • Max Speed: 1,500 SPM (Stitches Per Minute) 
  • Stitch Type: Straight Stitch Only (301 Lockstitch) 
  • Stitch Length: Max 6mm 
  • Needle System: HAx1 (Standard Home Needles) or HLx5 (#9 to #18) 
  • Presser Foot Lift: 7mm (Hand) / 9mm (Knee) / 12mm (Max) 
  • Throat Space: 8.5" (L) x 5.9" (H) 
  • Bobbin Type: Side-loading Industrial "L" Style 
  • Machine Weight: 25.4 lbs (11.5 kg) 

JUKI DDL-8700 FAQs

What kind of needles do you use in the DDL-8700?

The needles with your JUKI are the Organ DBx1, available on our website. This machine uses size 16×257, size 8 through 20 or 16×97. The 8700 can also use standard needles, sizes 9 through 21, universal or fabric-specific needles such as knit.

Where does the machine oil go?

A pan directly underneath the machine supplies oil to the machine with a cotton wick. Lift the machine up and over to access the oil tank while on the table. You must keep the machine’s oil level consistently at the «high» mark, either by adding more oil or draining it and refilling it as needed. If the oil pump can’t get the oil into the machine, it can cause serious problems later.

What kind of oil does this machine require?

You need a specific type, like motor oil in your car, to keep this machine running. The DDL-8700 requires JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1, equivalent to ISO VG7.

What size table can I get with this machine?

Our table has legs and is 22"w x 47"l. It includes a knee and foot pedals and a left-hand drawer for accessories.

Does the DDL 8700 make buttonholes?

No. The 8700 only does straight stitching, with a horizontal bar on the right side for a reverse stitch.
