dsalishdsalish, please tell me what the differences in TL2200QVP Mini and the TL-2010Q. My friend recommended the later, but is the TL2200QVP better?

maryschollthe TL2200QVP is only sold thru dealers. I have not seen the spec sheet but I am told that the motor is more robust. However you will be paying close to full price and almost twice as much. For me the difference in the motors was not significant enough to warrant a double the price difference. The industrial juki machines are significantly more robust. These are machines used in factories and get 8-16 hours of use every day continuously. The DLN5410 has an oil bath that the machine sits in the DLN9010 has an enclosed bath system for lubricating the hook assembly and other parts.
The DLN models are what is called a NEEDLE FEED system...vs the DDL models which are drop feed (the same as a home machine) There are pros and cons to both model types, it depends on what you are sewing as to which to get.
The time line for the DLN models is DLN415 was a very early model (I am not sure what preceded that) followed by the DLN5410 and now the DLN9010 which is the same model head type as the DDL9000 series machines. These are NOT portable. They are very heavy physically and very heavy duty machines designed to withstand a lot of use.
The industrial Juki machines sew at 5000 spm vs the home models which sew at 1500spm. But if you are doing quilting and alterations you won't need the really fast speed anyway. I currently have the DLN9010 and have limited the speed to 3500, I just don't need to go any faster than that because you cannot control it. Those speeds are for factory workers sewing long seams like sheets etc.
I hope this answers your questions, feel free to ask any more if you desire.
