      Dana AllenAug 22, 2025
      If your JUKI sewing machine is skipping stitches, properly adjust the timing between the needle and looper. Also, if you are using a heavy-weight or rigid material (fabric), the needle guide should come into contact with the needle by 0.1 to 0.2 mm.

      Dr. Joshua DanielAug 26, 2025
      If your JUKI sewing machine has excess thread, it could be due to several reasons. You can adjust the thread pull-off lever to a smaller or larger value. If the thread end comes from a point different from the needle penetration point, increase the button clamp pressure.

    How to fix a JUKI Sewing Machine when threads are not trimmed?
    • A
      Ashley PalmerAug 27, 2025
      If the threads are not being trimmed on your JUKI sewing machine, adjust the position of the moving knife if the thread separating claw of the moving knife fails to separate the thread on the fabric from the thread on the needle without fail. If the needle fails to enter the center of the holes in the button, adjust it with the jaw lever holder. If the last stitch skips at the needle entry point, adjust the looper, referring to '2.-(2) Positioning the looper'. If the height of the thread separating claw of the moving knife is incorrect, adjust the height of the thread separating claw of the moving knife, referring to '3.-(3) Adjusting the height of the thread separating claw of the moving knife'.

    • W
      William MorrisAug 29, 2025
      If your JUKI sewing machine fails to produce stitches, it could be due to improper adjustment of the thread pull-off lever (adjust it to a larger value) or because the thread tension applied by the face plate thread No. 3 is too high (decrease the tension applied by the face plate thread).

    Why is my JUKI Sewing Machine experiencing mechanical malfunction?
    • D
      davischerylAug 31, 2025
      Mechanical malfunctions in your JUKI sewing machine could arise from a low stop-motion noise, in which case you should adjust the stop-motion position. If the sewing machine stops before the predetermined stop-motion position is reached, decrease the button clamp spring force. If the driving pulley is too large, decrease the axial play in the driving pulley at the time of stop motion.
