I know this video is pretty old but the magic you're looking for is a "needle positioner". It has a part that hooks to the hand wheel and then it connects to the servo motor under the table to tell it when to stop the needle in the right position. Contact your dealer and they'll be able to sell you an upgrade kit.
Also it looked like your handwheel cranking was a little stiff. If you're using a brushed servo motor rather than brushless, it'll have a brake built in that actuates when the pedal is all the way back. If so, you'll want to gently press the pedal forward (not far enough for it to start sewing) and this will disengage the brake and allow you to spin the handwheel easily.
Another thing you might want to look at is adjusting the steppage, which controls how high the walking feet raise up when they dance their little jig. Setting it lower will give you smoother sewing over relatively flat projects while setting it higher will allow it to stomp over bulky seams. You'll also want to make sure you learn how to adjust the presser foot pressure so that you can achieve the right balance between gripping the material so it moves through the machine smoothly, while also not stomping footmarks into impressionable materials like leather.
The 1541 is a fantastic beast, and with a little learning you'll be able to do amazing things with it.
This comment is spot on. To add to it, the brushed servo motors/controllers typically installed on low cost table setups don't have many features. You may not be able to use a needle positioner with it. If you get something like an Efka AB620 controller, DC1250 motor, and needle positioner you will be able to program it to stop needle down, up, double/single start back tack, double/single end back tack and many other functions (like thread trim) if your machine supports them. You will also be able to adjust the top speed limit.
Nice job for working with leather for the first time, keep it up you can only get better
I loved stream-of-consciousness Jess! Please do more “sit and sew” videos. It’s so great to see the learning process in action, and the wallet turned out well, especially for the first effort. (Not intended as a backhanded compliment. 😂)
I feel the same way. Over and over again I kept thinking "Jess, why are you so cute?"
the nub is for when you tip the machine to oil it. the machine rests on it.
Great video. Makes me want to use my Juki. I used to make back braces with mine.
Thank you for your Great videos.
I love this style of video!
You are so ME when I got my machine! The nub is what you rest your machine head on when you change the oil in your machine. 🤭
I was actually holding my breath brilliant job
I use this machine for sewing leather all the time. Hard to tell from your video, but when you start to sew make sure to hold on to the the thread tails (this gives it a little more tension and avoids loose threads on the underside). Also, always begin your stitching with the needle down, this avoids a "birds nest" and also prevents your needle from unthreading if you your tail is not long enough. Since this is not like our computerized home machines, when you use a new bobbin, make sure to pull up the thread, if you don't you will get a thread jam, I was always forgetting to do this at first. Have fun!
I learned to sew on industrials when I was 18, it's the only sewing machines I used for over 10 yrs as I was a seamstress in sewing factories. It takes a little bit to get used to but you'll become a pro in no time.
practice makes you better but your first attempt turned out very nice
Excellent video! The Nub on the table is to rest the head when you tilt it back for servicing etc. :)
I'm looking into buying either the 1187 or 1541 in the future to make backs for biking. I really enjoy watching the mostly raw video footage.
I loved this video! I’ve been considering an industrial for while and this just makes me want to order it now!!!! 😊
Well done 😻
I bought the synchronizer with mine so I can stop it in the down position. Best thing ever!! It’s not that expensive and soooooo worth it!
Can I ask what’s the synchronizer for it? Can it be added on? Also where can I find it? Thank you 😊
Ooooo....that sounds cool. Do they make a synchronizer for the 1181?
@@janbanks3264 I have one for my 1181n.
@Diane Edelman I’ll be looking into getting one tomorrow. Thank you!
@@janbanks3264 I got mine from Steve at Sewing Gold
You are so funny and cute in this video. I like the all natural, being real style. Don’t get me wrong, your other videos are amazing.
When you go around the curves, make sure you needle is down, and hand crank it around the curves. And use more stitches around the curves. It may takes 5 or 6 little turns around the curves to get it too look smooth.
If I’m not mistaken, the nub is what the machine rests on while it’s tilted back to add/change oil
Jessica - Great job! Yes, please! Do more sit and sew! We get to see the triumphs and tribulations all sewers run across and it makes us feel less critical of our own work! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You did amazing! Perfection isn't always the goal - trying and learning is the goal! Keep giving us videos - love them!
I loved this!!! Please do more of these!! Watching you figure it out as you go, makes me feel a kinship for ALL the times I go through this myself. 💖💖💖 I also have a black cat, Batman! My little old panther! 😁💖😍
Great video (as always!). Couple of things... the magnetic guide should be placed long side against the fabric assembly, which then helps guide it in correctly. (Not with the short side towards the needle as you did.) The other thing is about the needle stopping in the up or down position... that only happens if you have what is called a NP (Needle Positioner). On my industrial machine it was an option and I really love it. The NP can be turned off or set to leave the needle up or down when you stop stitching. I like mine in the down position which then makes it a lot easier to turn my fabric. And for going around corners, even with a slow motor speed, at least for me that's often still too fast and I stop stitching as I near the corner and then turn the wheel by hand to slowly navigate around the corner. I hope this helps. And your videos have been an amazing help to me and I thank you (again) for making and sharing them. I only started sewing a year ago (since Covid) and now I own a domestic machine and two industrials. Hooked, I tell ya, I'm hooked!
Great! Exactly!
My 5 year old loves Team Umizoomi. I knew exactly what you meant. Mighty Math Powers! I love my momlife!
I think you need to put the thread through that little hole right above the needle
I have an juki 1181N and it took me a few purses to get used to it, I really love my machine. I like that tape.
You are so sweet! I love watching your videos! Plus I have learned a lot! Thank you!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this “sit and sew” style video!
I love this video. Can you do more like this....
That tape with the ruler printed on it is genius. Loved the kitty cameo as well.
That tears it... I'm getting a Juki when I outgrow my Janome.
Girl, you are just so much fun! You remind me of my youngest daughter, you're so cute! The first one of your videos I ever saw was the coffee sleeve video. All of my children are Starbucks junkies and they loved those sleeves. I made so many of them. Jess, you have inspired me to get my machine back out and try some new things. Thank you, love your channel.
You’re so funny! We have very similar sense of humor. Thanks for the tutorial AND the laughs!
Thanks for posting this. I’m a new sewer and it’s good to see what others go through when learning something new and that you too have apprehensions. Now I don’t feel as inadequate.
When I first got my industrial it scared the holy beans out of me. Even at the slowest speed I felt like it was getting away from me. The best tip I received for helping with that was to cut a short length of a pool noodle and put it under the foot peddle, and it worked ike a charm!! Its soft enough that it doesn't block the peddle from lowering, but is firm enough that you can't go pedal to the metal with it. Great video!!!
If you have the Yuki 1541 industrial you don't have to put anything under the pedal to slow the machine down the Yuki motor has a dial where you can lower the speed down mine is 2 years old and it has the speed dial you can run the machine up to 3000 stitches per minute or all the way down to 10 stitches per minute very very nice machine I love it
Oh my gosh this is a great tip! I have been struggling with this since I got my Juki1541S. I felt like the machine would hum and hum but not move and then when it started it would take off like a bat out of you know where. I’m going to try the swim noodle trick. I also noticed if I started sewing with the needle in the down position it helped.
@javierLopez - I have this motor dial on my machine its in the slowest speed but is way faster than 10 stitches per minute - may be I will have mine checked to see if it is working properly.
This is a well done project. I love it! It’s beautiful. You did great! And it’s made by you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
My Juki 1541 is one week old and I just love it!
Yes - I enjoyed this video. Now I have Juki envy so thanks for that.
I loved that video. Your glasses are very cute on you (speaking from a person who wears glasses). I loved hearing you talk things thru…I do that. Sounds like I’m not the only one who can relate. Thank you for posting this. The journal (?) turned out great…that leather is so rich looking.
Glad that this video was posted when it was!
I went to a garage sale over the weekend and picked up a Juki TL2000Qi machine for a great price with tons of extra feet and accessories!
I have been looking for a semi industrial/industrial machine for a while. And eyeing them. But haven't bit the bullet due to price. But finding the one I did was a great price for me. And I am so glad I have it.
Now I am going to rewatch this video.
I already have on my list to order some new thread for the machine that will be better suited for the machine I have over the other machines I have.
I am also excited to this week sit down with the machine and sew up another boxy bag. My domestic singer does okay at most of the bag until the part of sewing the side tabs in and it struggles. So I think this will be a big change for me there in not struggling at much.
HUNNY! JUKI IS A BEAST! SHE DON'T DO FAUX LEATHER! SHE WORKS WITH THE REAL SKIN! SHE INDUSTRIAL!! LOL!
Love this format!! So fun! Thank you!
Thank you for doing this! I have an 1181N on the way from sewing gold and It’s always a great reminder that everyone has to learn new things. I can’t wait to give it a try!
I have been looking into getting an industrial machine.
I absolutely love the sit, chat, sew to see what the sewing machine can do. ❤️
I’ve seen a lot of tutorials of women who have that exact machine that I have no problem sewing over any material that they use. You did a good job, and made me laugh lol ❣️✂️🧵💕❤️🥰
Yes I backstitch a d hold onto your threads! I love, love, love the bobbin winder as it fills the bobbin while I sew!
Congrats and welcome to the industrial club!!! I have had my Judi DU-181N for 2 years and as a bag maker I am so pleased with it! I love the video and your angles are great. I use a 3 or 3.5 for construction stitching and about a 5 for top stitching. I do definitely backstitch. Can’t wait to see more videos of you working with this machine! (Also, you need to use the hand wheel to lower your needle to readjust or pivot.)
I appreciate you being real about learning on something new and showing us!! Makes me feel more confident to take a chance on sewing projects I'm nervous about..
You did great on your new Juki!
I loved this sit & sew I was thinking of getting this 1541 also BUT even after watching you I'm still SCARED! LOL. YOUR GREAT JESS! You make me feel better about alot of my learning process in the bag sewing world! Thanks for being YOU! Your so awesome & I learn ALOT from YOU my friend! Thank You!!😁
I totally understand. There’s no way to really prepare for it besides just sitting at the machine and sewing
You did so well for your first sew thru with a new machine. Thanks so much for sharing with us! 🙂
I love it ! For a first time it looks great, Juki definitely is the best, i can’t wait to set my Juki 1541s and start sewing bags. I believe that this is a learning experience for everyone, I am so so happy that I purchased this beauty. thank you for making this video.
Great video! I know... this beast is intimidating at first! But once you get use to it it’s amazing! Hold your threads in the beginning or your machine can go out of timing. I learned this the hard way and had to take the bobbin assembly out because the thread got caught in there😳🙄. My rookie mistake! Also there are great guides on what needle to use with what size thread. Ex. Tex 70 with 18 or 19 needle. Also, the needle diamond tips make nice straight stitches in leather. Lots to learn on industrials but very worth it! Enjoy your machine! Looking forward to many tutorials on it.
You are so adorable and sooo real.
I loved this so much! I have a Juki DU 1181N and she is a beast as well! I do have tension issues on the underside at times and not with leather! Loved sitting with you today!
Okay sis..... I'm ready to play....let's do this!
With leather on edges, you thin the seams down with what’s called a ‘skiving knife’ - also a ‘bell skiver’ (a machine like a sewing machine but it removes bulk from the thickness of the leather), defo helps to reduce the bulk...
I really liked the spontaneity and candidness of this video! I hope you do some more. :-) Thanks!
I always use 5 length when sewing my leather with waterproof canvas bags and also for topstitching
You are so funny!! I had one of those and sold and thinking of buying another one!! It is a beast!!
This was a great video. Yeah this machine is a beast. I love mine. Had for a year and I'm still learning. The needle down position depends on what motor you have.
U got a good machine. I would buy this machine if I had not bought the Janome HD9. When I was doing research on industrial sewing machines, this to me is #1. Great choice... enjoy 😉
Thank you for this tutorial! It was like the best thriller movie ever when you were sewing through all of the thickness, I was on the edge of my chair watching with squinted eyes in case the needle broke! Ha! The industrial may have to be in my near future! - Fellow Okie
Been waiting to see you sew something on this. Very happy it worked out. Very cute.
I love this video!!! I want an industrial now 🤣 but I love love love this style of video! Please do more sit and sews! 💞
So glad u got this machine; I just bought one last month! It is awesome. Cant wait to see more tutorials!!!
Loved this video. Really enjoyed the “sit and sew” idea. Looking forward to seeing more of what you and your new machine can do. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure.
Install a "needle positioner". Search one for your Juki machine. It lets you control the position of the needle when the machine stops
Jess I like your idea of the 'SIT & SEW"
Look into getting a needle position synchronizer. That will automatically place the needle in the down position when you stop sewing.
The nub in the back is keep the machine from falling all the way back when you tip it over to get to the underside.
You can get a speed reducer to increase the torque when going through really thick leather and slow down the stitch speed. Check out some videos by guys that sew nothing but leather on how to set up your very capable machine.
You can get a needle positioner for your 1541s. Mine came with one and it is set so that anytime I stop sewing my needle is in the down position.
I've been the owner of a 1541 for about a week, so this video is very timely for me! I have felt exactly as you did, but I'm getting the hang of it. Please do more tutorials using Beastie.
Great video!! I’ve been eyeing this machine also for thicker bags, so it was super helpful to watch someone else learn on it.
That is so awesome! I love the leather
I believe you need a needle synchronizer. It allows you to choose whether or not you want the needle in the up or down position when you stop
I use 4 and 4 1/2 on construction and 5 to 5 1/2 top stitch I have a juki DU-1181n. The nub is when you tilt your machine back to check oil it holds your machine up
I bought a Jack H2 a few months back and it's a bit of a beast but we're slowly getting to know each other. It definitely makes topstiching easier. Trial and error will get us there 🤞
I have a Juki 1541 and I was told if you adjust your foot pedal to it being more level or straight across, this will help you not sew so fast. This did help and after a few times of sewing, you will find the 'sweet' spot that you can control the speed and go slower.
For needle down when I stop I bought a synchronizer. It's a small little attachment that connects to the machine and motor and you can set how you want your needle to be at the end. It was only $35 extra, got it from Sewing Gold.
Thanks Dody! I’ll check it out!
Great job. Thank you for the video. I am new to this machine as well. So happy we can learn together!!!
I have a Sailrite Fabricator and it's similar to your Juki. I was watching your apprehension on sew multiple layers(so funny) it will handle a lot more than you will probably throw at it. But I will say i feel my Fabricator has more slow speed control than the Juki. But maybe this will sew out as you sew more. All this from an 80 yr. OLD retired supervisor Industrial engineer. Love your video's.
LoL This is how I felt after using my industrial for the first time. Isn't it awesome? Making my bags has never been easier.
The knob is for when you have to lift your machine on its side. I do this whenever I have to add oil in the bottom panel thing. Or the bobbins gets snaggled...:)
You need to attach a needle synchronize mechanism. Mine uses the pedal with your heel to lift the needle up when finished sewing. I have Juki du1181n.
More like this would be fab! Maybe the ncw in leather?
I agree!
I use a 6 stitch length for top stitching.
Jess, it will come! I bought a used 1541a few years ago and love it. I was petrified to use it at first. Knew I was going to sew my finger to something. It took me about 6 months to feel really comfortable with it. You do have to think differently with the industrial vs a domestic. Tighter stiches tend to perforate fabrics (leather, marine vinyl). When I am "constructing" my bags, I tend to use 3-3.5 stich length and a 5 for topstitching. Your machine looks new, so it may be different, but I can't sew anything lighter weight than waterproof vinyl on mine. It will not work, stiches are very inconsistent and look awful. I do have to hold my threads on the industrial, otherwise I get awful nests underneath. Unfortunately there isn't a needle down setting on the 1541. There is supposedly attachment programs that does a needle down/up, but I've not looked into it since its after market option. I'm surprised you are not using your knee lift, because of the 1541 all my machines have to have the knee lift now. As for your speed, don't feel you need to speed up. I'm still below 1000 I think on my dial. Congratulations on the new Juki! You will love her very soon.
After you using this sewing machine for a while now do you recommend this or other model? I love to sew the bag and follow almost every tutorial that you have made. I now own domestic machine like Brother embroidery one which it can’t deal with thicker material such as vinyl for 4 layers and up. So I just need your help and suggestions. I sewing just for fun did not sell the bag (as of now). Please help me that I should get this one or other brand or model that equals with less money?
Everyone feels this way the first project they do on their new machine! Also that toggle behind the machine head is to lean the head back onto it so you can refill the oil. And it can take the weight no worries! Good luck with Beastie as you use them more you will get more comfortable with them!
Thank you Liz!
Wow. I thought industrial meant unbridled uncontrollable speed. You had so much control and it sewed at normal speeds!!! 😊😊😂. Great job!!
Jess, you look so adorable with your glasses 🥰. I was looking at another version of a Juki industrial sewing machine, you've totally sold me on it as well! I've seen other videos where the stitch length is longer when sewing through a lot of material especially with leather & vinyl. I hope you do more sew along videos, it was very enjoyable & informative. Thanks for sharing!😊🥰
Hi, not sure if you have ever use a stileto to help push your material through the feed dogs but, it will help keep your fingers away from the needle and it will help not have puckers as you can push or pull the top material with the sewing stileto. have fun
Ive been waiting for this video! So excited to finally see you use it! I cant get over how much easier it is to sew since I upgraded. When I went back to my domestic it felt like I was sewing in slow motion lol. Your video on the project bag by kandou crafts is the first video I seen by you and then I seen your others and I was like wait, I cant make more than zipper bags? Its been a long and deep hole Ive fallen into haha so thanks so much! I seen you got alot of good advice already. I construct with a 4 and topstitch with a 5 or 5.5, thicker material really needs longer stitches. We talk about perforating your vinyl all the time and it isnt always obvious until you are using a bag and it rips because the stitches were too close and weakened the material, its not always something that happens right away. You were doing excellent and I cant wait to see more projects on the industrial, absolutely love the chill vibe in this video. Also the knub sticking up off the table is what your machine lays on when you lay it back to see the oil, I think thats what you were talking about.
Love this! I feel so unsure on mine too!!!!! 💙💙💙
Absolutely loved this! Felt sort of like we were sitting with you! I hope you do more of these! Maybe one of these times do it live with us 😱😅😁😁😁
I was thinking the same thing! The problem is I get way too chatty during lives, I wouldn’t get any sewing done! But I have it on my list to try
@@OklaRoots chatty is fun though 😅 but this was really really a fun video!! Definitely do more if you enjoyed it too 😉
@@OklaRoots love your videos. Maybe have a friend come over and read the comments and questions that pop up while you sew..?
It will handle 1/2" thick material . There's lots of attachments available for it as well .
Super nice machine you got Jess🤩 My kiddos loved Umizoomi❤Nickelodeon all the way! Thank you for this video it was great and you look great😊 as always stay well
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting this exact juki for a while, and you made me want to buy it! Love your videos!
Aww man...Nice!! I was hoping to see double stitching on the outside
You can install a speed reducer so you can stitch more precisely.
Jess when working with leather Skive!
Fyi, last night I finished making a new top cover for a patio umbrella. My JUKI Du 1181n sewed through 11 layers of Sunbrella Canvas fabric. Impressive! I'm loving my first JUKI machine. I used to work at an awning shop, so I'm used to an industrial machine.
My machine has an additional part I can add to have the needle down option. I may add it later.
I love this! I think it turned out great. I can't wait to make this. I liked how you struggled, questioned things, etc as you were sewing. When I sew something for the first time I'm always saying similar things so it was nice to see you doing the same. Definitely made something new relatable and now I know I'm not the only one.
