When I changed the needle plate and feed dog, when I have started to sew the back stitch lever making noise and it’s moving up and down..please help me regarding this….
For some weird reason, Wawak sewing supplies keeps sending me the WRONG feed dog. They now sent one that is literally 3/4 of an inch! Last time they sent the wrong needles. Won't be ordering from them anymore.😆
Thank you for the video!! What screwdriver are you using? I’ve had a Juki for 5 months and I haven’t been able to get the screws off for the needle plate 😅
i am using juki 8700 to sew some soft leathers.....but when ever i sew it curve the leather i am sewing......i dont know whether it is the feed dog or i should lower the teeth
Whats the difference between the sizes of the feed dogs? Ive seen machines with smaller ones and the ones on my machine are much bigger. Does this have an impact as well when you work with lighter materials?
yes each feed dog has a specific plate for it. and bigger feed dogs are made for heavier fabrics such as leather and vinyl canvas etc. while the smaller feed dogs are more for lighter to medium weight fabrics like tulle satin cotton . because the heavier feed dogs can pull on your fabric
Hey there, just a quick question.. what is that grey knob on the top of the machine for? That knob above where it says juki on the head, not the presser foot lever at the back.
It could. The screw at 3:24 of the video controls the height of the feed dog. You could loosen the screw and drop the feed dog and then do free motion quilting. Just make sure you know how to put it back.
By any chance can you do a tutorial on this issue? Set up of machine to do free motion quilting? And do you sell the darning throat plate? I can not find one for the Juki ddl 8700 Thank You
We do not have time to do a video now, but can get one up a bit later. We do stock the plate. Please call or email me. 888-505-4565 or info@sewinggold.com. Thank you.
I love it. I watch it several time
Thanks for watching!

Same with mine... help!?

I wish that the feed dog movement needed adjustment on that machine so that I could see how to do it!
I was wondering are you able to use smaller needles than recommended such as a size #10 or a size #12 with the juki ddl-8700H??
The hook would have to moved closer to the needle to use 10 or 12. Then you risk breaking larger needles and damaging the hook.
Is this available in India
Impossible to unscrew these 2 screws on the needle plate on my machine 😭
Thank you for the video!!

We use Wiha screw drivers. Precision Slotted 4.0 (5/32") x 150mm or SoftFinish® Slotted Driver 4.0 x 150mm.

did you fix it?
I have a DDL-555, is it almost the same?
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed! I just bought an 8700h and it doesn’t have the seam allowance on the plate so I want to switch it out.
We have the genuine plate with measurements.

Thanks for the video.
You are welcome.

Poor screws, please get a proper set of screwdrivers, this video was scary.
LOL. Please make recommendations. I am all ears.
Do you have to take out the machine head out of the bed to make these adjustments or can you just tilt the head back?
You can make these adjustments with the head tilted back. No need to remove the head from the table.
Thank you so much.
No problem at all.
I love this video
We are glad you like it. Thank you!
nice
Hey there, just a quick question.. what is that grey knob on the top of the machine for? That knob above where it says juki on the head, not the presser foot lever at the back.
That thumb screw is to adjust the pressure on the presser foot.
It's the stitch length. You press down on the reverse lever before turning it. I know this is 4 years too late but maybe someone else will see it.
So the needle plate doesn’t need to be changed if I want to switch to a regular feed dog ?
Plate and feed dog need to be changed.
Which needle plate and feed dogs would I need for this
Hey Steve, does this method work on a Juki ddl 8700? And would this be the method to make the machine do free motion quilting with a darning foot?
It could. The screw at 3:24 of the video controls the height of the feed dog. You could loosen the screw and drop the feed dog and then do free motion quilting. Just make sure you know how to put it back.
You can adjust the feed dog the same way on the DDL-8700. I would remove the feed dog and use a darning throat plate instead of dropping the feed dog.
By any chance can you do a tutorial on this issue? Set up of machine to do free motion quilting? And do you sell the darning throat plate? I can not find one for the Juki ddl 8700 Thank You

Yay I needed this info!
Happy to hear you liked the video.
What is the purpose of this?
This video is for customers that want to change out the feed set for something a little lighter than the one that comes on the machine and vise versa.
