Where to Buy My Juki 2200 in Utah

Assembling the Juki 2200 Virtuoso frame is really simple and straight forward
Juki / Grace Company Virtuoso Frame
We were setting up our shop demo Juki 2200 yesterday and were so amazed at how easy it is to assemble the Virtuoso machine frame that comes with the Juki 2200 QVP.  So we now have one setup at Stylish Fabrics in Logan Utah for you to come and play on. We are located at:

Stylish Fabrics / Kathy Quilts!
138 North Main Street
Logan Utah, 84321
Call (435) 752-4186 or Toll Free (888)826-0222

It sits by a Handi Quilter Avante which is also an 18 inch longarm machine quilter.  Nice to compare between the two.

The Juki is so much nicer that Handi Quilter and all the other longarm companies are getting a little worried.  If you get a chance to play on one of these you will find out why the other companies should really be worried.  The Juki 2200 works so seamlessly with the Virtuoso frame that they are really like one unit and not a frame with at 18 inch machine head on it.

The one thing that will make assembling the frame much easier is following the instructions.  I know that sounds dumb but rather than reading them there were steps that we thought, "I know how this goes together," then after having to take some things undone, we would follow the instructions and do it the correct way.

Setting the Juki 2200 up isn't hard at all but it helps if you have someone that knows what they are doing and understands how to tell you so you understand that they are talking about. Kathy Quilts has the knowledge and Stylish Fabrics has the Frame. Feel free to come in our shop and take the Juki 2200 for a test drive.  We are the only Juki dealer that has the rear handles for the Juki 2200 in stock. If you are looking at buying your Juki 2200 KathyQuilts.com is offering the rear handles for free through April 15th.  After that the cost is $99 but if your looking at following pantograph patterns you need those handles.  More rear handles will not be available until sometime in May.  We only have 10 sets of handles and six of them are shipping in the next couple of days so don't wait to order!

Why You Should Buy Your Juki 2200 QVP from KathyQuilts.com

Why you should buy your Juki 2200 from KathyQuilts.com

As we have been sewing off the Juki 2200's we have notice that Juki Corporation is new to machine quilting. They don't seem to understand the difference between quilting and sewing. For someone that isn't that familiar with sewing or quilting they might seem like they are the same thing, but they are not. We have found that the tension is set for sewing and not quilting. Since we know the difference we setup every Juki 2200 so that it is ready to go out of the box. 

We don't want our customers to get their Juki and find that the stitch quality isn't that great. If you know how to adjust the tension then you could do it yourself but it is a better experience to have the professionals set it up for you. We are the only Juki dealer that sews off our machines before shipping them out.

If you are comparing KathyQuilts.com with any other dealer, ask them if they sew off the Juki 2200's before shipping them. It takes a lot of extra effort to sew off the Juki 2200 because you have to attach the front handles, and the touch screen so you can run it. Most dealers are not willing or don't know how to sew off a Juki 2200. They also don't know about quilting so they can adjust your Juki so it is ready to quilt on. Buy your Juki 2200 from KathyQuilts.com a Juki dealer you can trust to make sure your machine is perfect when it arrives at your door.

Is the Juki 2200 QVP Quilt Virtuoso Pro the right machine frame for you?

Juki TL-2200QVP is such a wonderful machine quilter.  The Virtuoso frame made by the Grace Company work seamlessly with it.


Kathy Quilts sews off every Juki we sell including the Juki 2200.  We want to make sure that when you get your new Juki that it is ready to go.  We are very pleased with the care that Juki puts into the new 2200.  These are made in Japan so they seem to take extra special care that your Juki 2200 is ready to go.  We usually just adjust the thread tension a little and it is ready to ship.  Another reason that we sew off your machine is that we want to make sure your touch screen works and that everything will work as it should when your Juki arrives.

Since we have been sewing these off we have a better idea of how these work and how to help you decide if this is the machine quilter for you and why you should purchase it from KathyQuilts.com.  I was speaking with a lady that bought her Juki from a local dealer because she could drive to the shop and pick it up.  The problem she ran into was that she knew more about the Juki 2200 than the shop owner did.  She was asking me about the Juki 2200 because she found that we knew more than anyone that she could contact.  Don't let this happen to you. KathyQuilts will help you not only learn how to quilt on your Juki 2200, but we will teach you techniques that you will probably never learn if you are left on your own to figure out.

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about this unbelievably awesome 18 inch machine quilter.  Email me at mailto:lynn@kathyquilts.com or call (888)826-0222
