The product, in the report: Juki TL-2010Q Sewing Machine
January 30, 2014, I purchased a new Juki TL 2010Q. This new machine model comes with, not one, but 2 automatic thread cutters. One thread cutter can be engaged by pushing a button on the sewing machine which is great. However, the 2nd thread cutter is the problem. This 2nd thread cutter switch is in the foot control (the foot pedal that is depressed to do the sewing). When the heel (bottom) of the foot controller is pressed, the thread cutter is engaged. This is a dangerous feature. It is too easy to engage this foot controller accidentally by touching the foot controller when you are not sewing; for instance, moving or turning your fabric. As long as your machine is in the “on” position, the thread cutter is active. While we sew we may need to remove some thread from throat of machine. There are many reasons our fingers could be near the needle while the machine IS operating. We sew, we stop, adjust, we sew some more, etc. Yes, we need to be cautious and keep our fingers away from needle while the machine is operating. However, this automatic thread cutter in foot controller can be engaged while the machine IS NOT operating, those breaks in between, while we are adjusting our fabric as happened to me when I began to sew and was moving a thread out of the way. The thread was not where it was suppose to be . My foot (which was resting on the floor) somehow engaged the foot controller and the thread cutter was engaged. Needle came down, caught and punctured the edge of my pinkie finger. The needle has to go down into the hole that goes to bobbin in order for the thread to be cut. The needle puncture my pinkie finger and actually took off a tiny bit of my finger. Of course my finger bled and was sensitive for weeks. I have sewn professionally using industrial sewing machines. I have owned and operated several domestic sewing machines of various brands. I have never seen a feature on any machine, (not even an industrial serger) as dangerous as this thread cutter. The threader cutter is too easy to engage by accident by the machine operator while the machine is idle. When we stop stitching to do some adjusting of our fabric, turning it, whatever, our foot is still resting on the foot control. The threader cutter switch can be engaged while we are just resting our foot. This would be a dangerous machine for a CHILD or novice. NO DOUBTS ABOUT IT! Under WARNINGS, page 1, in the Juki manual, nothing is stated about the foot control thread cutter. Juki does have caution statements in various pages of the manual . Juki cautions to turn off power switch when changing the bobbin, threading the machine, changing the needle, and changing the pressure foot. There is no warning on the foot control thread cutter, how easily it can be engaged. The thread cutter on foot controller is not needed because you can push the other thread cutter button on machine itself; this is a conscious effort. I am concerned that no one else gets injured and concerned about children also. I contacted Juki online asking if there was a way to disengage the thread cutter on foot control. The answer was “no”. Also, the Juki rep. stated there have not been any other reported incidents of this problem. Sincerely,
