MKC, thanks for linking to that chart, but in my experience, it’s not accurate. With my 2010, I got a 1/4 and 1/5” quilting foot, and a hemming foot. I would never have bought any of those on my own. I remember being puzzled by how different 1/4 and 1/5” could really be.
I know everyone idolizes Juki Junkies these days, but anyone can make a mistake. Or things have changed since I got mine.
hugs,
charlotte

Yes, and I received them. But the difference in number between that and the 2010 was small. The most impressive thing was the spacer bar (or whatever) for the walking foot. I’ve never seen anything like it. Looks like it could hold cars back at a railway crossing. 😆

I think the difference from 8 feet to four is not small. It's half. Must be what year the Juki was made makes a difference in what the accessory package contains. My friend ordered a 2010 on from a big online machine dealer and got two feet different than two of what I got. I bought mine at a local dealer and the machine was made the year I bought it. My friend's was new but made several years before she bough it.

You are going to love it. I bought mine 4 years ago and it is the machine I use on my Cutie frame but a go to for sewing on bindings. So easy to maintain as it is mechanical and bottom of machine will open to really get in and clean out all the dust bunnies. Juki Junkies also has wonderful videos on YouTube about care and use of TL machines. Have fun.

I have made it clear that the difference between what was provided with my two Jukis is 2 feet and that I have no idea why.
Seems like it’s time to let this drop and move on.

Just wanted to update. I've used the Juki for a couple days and like it but I think my biggest disappointment would be in the lighting...or should I say...poor lighting. I ordered a LED strip and got it yesterday. It helps a lot. Juki should really update this.
Also, the (lack of) feet included with the machine is also disappointing considering that Brother 1500's ( now the new 1600SL) include a lot of feet. Thankfully, my Brother Nouvelle 1500 that I've had for 14 years has a ton of feet and they fit on the Juki so spending that extra $600 for the QVP18 would have been a waste of money.

Hi Colleen, I've been offline for a few days and just saw this. I think you will love that machine. I have the same one and love it. I also got led lights for it bc the light was so dim. Mine came with a bunch of feet several years ago but you can also buy them at Wawak if you want/need any. Great prices and wonderful service. And JukiJunkies on Youtube has tons of info on that machine.
For a long time I couldn't get the needle threaded but watched them do it and now it works every single time.
Have fun!

I have the 2200 QVP Mini. Same machine with different packaging. I bought the Handiquilter LED lights and they have made all the difference. That was my only problem with the machine. The lighting wasn't good on the stock machine.
