JUKI started in making simple sewing machines and now produces assorted models of industrial sewing machines to complete varied operations. These industrial machine types are more streamlined in their functionality than home sewers. They meet the needs of a specific task and perform well under long work hours. The long list of JUKI industrial sewing machines can be broadly broken down into three types. The lockstitch, the chainstitch, and the automatic machines. Of the three types, there are subsets that handle apparel and non-apparel applications. Some of the most common types of sewing projects are T-Shirts, Jeans, Bags, and Couches. It doesn’t end there though. If it can be sewn and sold, rest assured, Juki has a sewing machine for the job.

The Lockstitch Industrial Machine

The front and back of the fabric are stitched identically on a lockstitch. An example of an indispensable machine for any sewing setup is the Juki DDL-. The machine responds will to various material types and produces consistent seam quality for men’s and women’s garments. There’s also the Zigzag stitching machine available in the LZ-A model. This machine is set up to stitch with minimal seam fraying when crafting women’s undergarments and lightweight jackets. Lockstitch machines are responsible for many of the daily items we interact with. For example; cushions, curtains, aprons and lightweight apparel are all created on the models listed above or on the LK-BN. Whereas leather and other heavyweight materials are stitched on LU-NS or an AMS-210EN to produce sofas, carpets, rugs, house slippers, and other heavyweight applications. These machines hold strong needles and have the force to feed dense fabrics.

Chainstitch is for flexibility 

Stretchy fabric sewing is accomplished on a chainstitch. A knit like seam is produced in a chain-like pattern with a single thread. The MO-D is often used for underwear and sportswear because the overlock stitches are optimal for fabrics that stretch. Another notable model of Chainstitch machine is that is a workhorse for button sewing is the MB-A. It has multiple stitch patterns that all hold up during typical button usage.

Automatic Machines

Processes are fully automated to perform a full suite of operations. For Instance, the AP-876 Pocket setter fully automates setting the pocket on a pair of jeans. Where the AMS-210EN Computer-Controlled cycle machine will sew programmed patterns automatically including decorative stitching on pockets and other difficult areas. It can also set emblems or labels. These days most jeans are created using a handful of industrial machines or these automatic types. JUKI’s line of industrial sewing machines aid in the production of both, apparel and non-apparel, sewn products. From yoga pants to car seats, JUKI has the machine to stitch a vast array of materials in the sewn products industry in 180 countries around the world.

In actuality, many sewn products require multiple machines to cover the different stages of the production process. If you are an old pro then you already know this. If you are new to industrial sewing you may be in a state of shock right now. The reality is that mass production left the United States in the nineties. Only high-quality products or lower production runs still have a place in the American sewn products industry. A variety of specialty products are still made in the good old U.S. as well as bedding and plenty of other non-apparel products. Hopefully, these infographics can guide you and better help you understand industrial sewing processes.

Juki sewing machines are a high-quality, long-lasting option for many different types of sewists.

It doesn’t matter how often you use your sewing machine or the types of projects you typically create: sewing machine maintenance should always be an important part of your routine. And if something on your sewing machine needs to be repaired, waiting to do so could result in even more issues. That’s another reason that repairs should be made right away.

Are you wondering how to best take care of your Juki sewing machine? Hiring a sewing machine repair professional can be expensive, which is why performing basic maintenance tasks and learning how to do a few repairs yourself could be helpful.

Here are some of the most typical fixes that Juki sewing machine users need to perform on their machines in order to make sure it functions properly.

Changing the Needle on a Juki Sewing Machine

If you’re having issues with your Juki sewing machine’s stitching, the solution may be as simple as changing out the current needle for a new one. Needles can become dull over time, especially with heavy use. This can lead to poor-quality stitches or even stalling in your machine during the sewing process.

Make sure to follow your Juki sewing machine’s manual before you begin changing the needle. However, for most machines, the needle can be loosened from its place using a screwdriver without re-timing the hook. From there, you can simply place the new needle where the old needle was and twist it into position while pushing upward.

Fixing the Bobbin Winder on a Juki Sewing Machine

A functioning bobbin winder is crucial for any sewing project. One of the most common causes of a bobbin winder malfunction is improper lubrication. To check if your bobbin winder is lubricated, try turning it with your fingers. If it’s not turning easily, a lack of lubrication is likely causing the issue. However, if it turns too easily or even too quickly, the problem may be more complex.

For more information, please visit Juki Replacement Parts.

One thing you can try is to remove the bobbin and push a flathead screw into the beveled edge where the bobbin screws in. This should help stabilize the mechanism and allow your bobbin to spin at a normal speed — rather than too fast — and ensure proper stitching.

Re-Timing the Hook on a Juki Sewing Machine

Re-timing the hook is an important part of Juki sewing machine maintenance. However, it’s important to note that you should check for other simple fixes before you take this more time-consuming and arduous step.

If you do decide to re-time the hook, begin by removing the plate covers, bobbin case, and switch plate. Leave the needle you’re currently using in the machine, and make sure that it’s still threaded. Then, carefully crank the hand wheel to make sure that your machine’s shuttle hook is catching the thread smoothly. If this isn’t happening, you’ll know that the timing needs to be changed.

Make sure to refer to your specific machine’s user manual throughout the hook re-timing process. Likely, what you’ll have to do next is gently loosen the needle bar and look for timing marks on your machine by sliding it up and down and checking carefully. For machines without timing marks, you’ll have to lower the needle fully before you raise it all the way.

Move the needle bar to its lowest position once the eye is 3/32 underneath the shuttle hook. Now, the machine’s gears will be loosened at the base, and you can make adjustments until the hook and needle have a distance between them of between 0.01 and 0.16 inches. Your machine’s manual will say exactly what the spacing should be.
