- Juki DDL-8700H tension troubleshooting with T70 bonded nylon thread (Amann Strongbond). We use the OEM bobbin case and a no backlash bobbin case. We also use an OEM bobbin and a German made aftermarket bobbin.
I used to work in a furniture mfg. Co. Once these machines are set up they will sew forever with nothing more than a needle change. There're solid as a rock. It's usually something very simple. Keep your knee off the raise pad while sewing and don't be afraid to mess with the tension.
I have a Juki DDL-8700 and I can’t find a video on how to fix skipping stitches do you guys have a video? can you make one?
yes, I have trouble with skipped stitches too. I've wracked my brain trying to fix this problem, nothing I do with tension helps.
@@blasstd77 same here I am frustrated and feel like giving her away
Can this Juki sew stretchy fabrics and if sew how do I set settings? I have a DDL 8700
Hii. My top thread tension is at its highest and yet there are still large loops forming on the underside of my fabric. Any suggestion?
Watch this: th-cam.com/video/I7nJe22w4zg/w-d-xo.html
Mine pulls up the bottom thread but doesn’t sew on fabric
Hi, your threading for a DDL 8700 H is false.
13:17 I see a ton of black dots! Should have done a 1/2 turn not a full turn!!
Can this a Juli sew stretchy fabric and if so how do I set settings?
What's that wind noise in the background?
Mine ALWAYS shreds. 😡
I really like this video !!
If my material puckers , does that mean I need to loosen the tension? I sew on really light material like tulle and satin . Thanks
It could be the thread tension and or the pressure on your foot. It can be a combination of both too.
I have just ordered my DDL-8700H. Where can I purchase the backlash bobbin case?
Thanks to your video, I fixed a puckering problem I was on my machine in just 5mins of watching. God bless 🙏🏽.
Thank you!
My tension on my juki 8700H slide out of the hole when I'm tring to sew. I took it apart and the little rod inside is bent slightly. My thread is breaking too! Its a new machine I bought from Gold star. Had for maybe a year or two.
I really enjoyed watching you work through the tension issues.
Thank you!
this was ridiculously valuable.... thank you!
My tension is off… my top thread keeps sagging and the top thread continues to rip out of the needle. The reverse makes the thread rip as well. Please help
Thank you. I experience loose stitches under. Pls, what should I do?
Hey I just picked up this machine but mine doesn't sound like yours, how did you get the machine to sound so sturdy, mines a bit clicky? do you have a calibration video for the 8700? I might need to adjust my footer pressure.
Really great video. I have a problem with my Juki LU-1509N sewing leather with bonded nylon, where stitch looks fine top and bottom, except 1 stitch about every 6 inches approx, you get a slight loose knot on the top. I will look into whether I can get a backlash device because it does not use bobbin cases.
How do you adjust it when some stitches appear longer and loose both top and bottom. I have the juki ddl 8700
Thanks very much, please mine is not sawing on reverse I don't know why, please help
What’s the correct needle for the 8700H? DPx5 or 135/5 or 135/7?
Recently purchased a new 8700H and the extra needles are wrong size (DBx1)? Needle that came with the machine has a 2.0mm shank diameter and DBx1 needles have a 1.63mm shank diameter. I’m guessing the 8700H uses the DPX5 and the 8700 uses the DBx1 needle system?
DPx5, 135x5, and 135x7 are the same class. They are the correct needles for a DDL-8700H. The DBx1 is for a DDL-8700.
Sewing patches and every time I move on to next shirt the thread isn’t long enough and it comes out
No entiendo por que ponen a demostrar a gente que no sabe donde esta sentado, eso es deprestigio para la marca
Thanks for the awesome video. Very useful. Could you please tell me what to do about the same issues with a machine like the 5550-4 which has the second upper tension knob because of the thread cutter.
How does that one play into the overall tension?
It does have an effect but I'm having brain freeze from confusion as to what to do with that one when upper thread is showing on bottom for example.
I tinker with it and have quite different results but not consistent enough to figure out if I need to tighten it or loosen at any given moment.
And google is no help :(
Thank you for your time
Thank you so much for awesome tutoring video. It solved my problem. I have question. to sewing leather, should I attach walking foot to my DDL 8700H ? and can I attach walking foot to DDL 8700H ?
Really appreciate your answer.
There really is no walking foot attachments for an industrial sewing machine. At least none that I know of. I have seen household high shank attachments that are sold for an industrial machine. I would not use them.
Use a Teflon foot for starters. You can even get a roller foot, plate and feed dog, but that would take an adjustment to the presser bar and feed dog.
When sewing Jeans with Denim (medium to heavyweight) on an industrial machine, Should the bobbin tension be loose or tight? What should the thread tension be, loose or tight?
The bobbin tension will always feel looser then the main tension on the machine.
Really useful vid.....helped a lot .
I just received my juki ddl 8700 h at the top of the machine I didn't get a tension disc do u sell them if so please let me know thank u
If you are referring to the thread guide with the post, your machine does not have discs.
I still can’t figure mine out. I have the same machine and I’m trying to use bonded nylon and it loops under the fabric. I have tried every tension turn possible for both the bobbin and top tension.
Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/I7nJe22w4zg/w-d-xo.html
How do I solve the problem with the stitch reverse handle?. It automatically reverses and cuts the thread after a certain amount of stitches. It does this repeatedly. Pls I really need some help.
Is the reverse lever moving on it's own? Can you upload a video of this problem?
I have decided to purchase this machine in Jan 2020 for my studio and have done all of my research and this was a wonderful video on tension adjustments and is the rule I work by on all of my projects before I begin them. Thank You and Subscribed and Thumbs Up
Thank you Tamra. Here is the link to the machine on our website: www.sewinggold.com/J8700H.html
Great video. Thank you
I have a Juki Walking foot machine and I use bonded nylon all the time. I have backstitch probliems. Would a backlash bobbin case help and do you know if Juki make one for this model. Thank you
I cannot say it will fix your issue for sure, but I think it should help, but I do think it will help. Juki may make one that will fit your machine but nothing specific for the DDL-8700H. We stock an aftermarket bobbin case with the backlash clip that fits your machine.
@@Sewinggold thats fantastic help, thank you! Im in the UK so Ill try and track one down.
Thank you so much, this was very helpful ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Steve
I just got a Juki 8700H. What kind of thread do I need to buy to sew vinyl and do I need to use a Teflon presser foot?
You can use T40 to T70 thread. We recommend bonded nylon or bonded polyester for vinyl. A Teflon foot is a good idea. We stock Amann thread and sell the Teflon foot too. Thank you.
@@Sewinggold Thank you so much! Have a lovely day!
Takto too tension....
Hi Steve! Quick question. Do you see a noticeable difference in build quality between the Juki machines made in China in comparison to the ones made in Japan? Thank you!
When I compare a Juki DDL-5550N made in Japan to a Juki DDL-8700 made in China I see very little difference. They share the same specs.
A place I used to work had both types. In my opinion, there was definitely a difference in the fit/finish but it never caused any functional issues or anything. I know I preferred to work with the 5550's though (just felt nicer).
