Steve i didn't like that slotted rod being near my bobbin winder so I put a 3/4" piece of bamboo inside a wire connector, crimped and covered with heat shrink tube. Bolt the connector onto rod and fit into slot of positioner. Nothing sticking out to cut or catch stuff on. 😊
Hello Steve, Thank you for sharing this install. I have a question, on my needle positioner unit, the silver portion spins easily regardless of how tight the set screws are....is this a problem? I can't seem to get the positioning to stay where I set it following your example above.
Hi Steve. I have the long gold double ended screws that came with the needle positioner. I made it work, on my DU-1181n, but it’s not great. Is there a way I can get the silver pieces you used here? Thanks!
Hi Steve! I added a speed reducer to my Jukie 1181 & mow my needle positioner isnt working correctly. Do you have advice for changing the what I assume is the settings (not just the screw adjustment on small wheel on hand crank)

That is unusual. The needle positioner spins on the handwheel or with the handwheel?
I have one on mine and would 100% recommend 🤩👍🏼
Hi there. What does happened when it is out of time. Can it cause problems with the sewing machine? Thanks.
It will skip stitches, break the thread or not sew at all.
Can you adapt the neddle posición to a servo motor?
What servo motor do you have? Brand and model number please.

Can I put it on my ddl8700H
You can put a brushless motor with a needle positioner on a DDL-8700H.
