Juki DDL 8700 Review

- I have owned my Juki DDL 8700 for 3 years now so I decided to make a video on my experience with this model sewing machine. Probably the best decision I've made for my business in moving forward skill-wise.
My guide to buying a home-sewing machine:
• A Guide To Purchasing ...
My sewing machine:
amzn.to/3kGoVHM
Please note that I had to assemble this machine.
This is the exact sewing machine I've been looking into getting when I next upgrade! Home sewing machines burn/wear out so easy (its either that or I thoroughly beat them up).
Thanks for sharing your review!
Absolutely! I don’t regret buying this one at all. Definitely a life saver long term.
Loved your review. I've been sewing on commercial machines for many, many years! Love my Juki DDL5550& DDL 8700 I also have and love my Brother sewing/embriodery machines.
Thank you! Yes, I can see that I would want to sew on mine for several years too!
I look at these industrial machines from time to time. Thanks for the review.
They’re definitely life changing for sure! 🙂
Yes it’s a game changer! What a difference after a home sewing machine!
Why is it so difficult to find a video that actually shows the machine in action?
Thanks so much for ths video. Very helpful! I just bought this set-up and can't wait to start using it.
Yay! Good for you!
Thank you for the amazing review! I've been sewing on a Singer Patchwork for years and about to receive an old Montgomery Ward from my uncle from his upholstery days, but this machine is on my saving up list to buy next year.
You're welcome! :) That's great! I'm sure you will thoroughly enjoy your Montgomery Ward. Old machines are the best!
Great overview video ... just picked up a nearly new version of the machine. Recommend you do a few more videos on the machine.... tips for adjusting tension, maintenance, configuring for different types of sewing. While there are some on CZcams most are not as polished as your few machine videos.
I really want one of these. I have a Juki DNU-1541, and I think this machine would be a good partner to it. I want to find a store that I can go see it in person and sew on it. Great video, Bamboo cracked me up
Thank you for a very honest and informative video.
What thread/needle combo do you recommend if using this machine for piecing/quilting?
Hi, just curious. I love that you "show the digital feature" to adjust the speed. However, I can't seem to find that in the description of the link you provided for the purchase or on other ads for this. Could you please tell me if "this is an added on feature?" TYIA :)
I have a Bernina which is also full metal but if i ever open up an atelier an industrial Juki would be my dream machine.
Yes! I've heard great things about old Berninas. I think it's essential to have a good old home machine along with a juki. I think you'd love it! :)
@@thetailorette Totally believe that too
Great machine, thanks for sharing the video and greetings from 🇧🇿
Will I be able to drop the feed and free hand on the 8700?
I can get one with direct drive motor and one without, which would you recommend? I heard direct drive motor has less vibrations?
Hi! I loved this video since I'm thinking of upgrading from my juki f600 domestic. Do you have more videos like this that will help me with my decision? Thanks.
What is the make/model of the servo motor that you have? The display at the edge of the table, rather than down underneath is awesome.
I love your patience of explaining about Mr. Juki DDL 8700. I always admire this machine and would like to own one mainly for heavy duty purposes. Can I ask you where l can get a good deal for one?
Good question! I bought mine from a local dealer. You might be able to find one on Facebook marketplace as well but I’ve never tried that. I never use my home sewing machine anymore and this was definitely worth getting it new!
I’m researching industrial machines and I was wondering if this machine comes with a walking foot, I haven’t found any videos that cover that. Love your video it’s very informative. Thank you so much.
No it's a regular straight stitch. You can purchase a Teflon or roller feet to suit your needs.
I purchased this machine, but I can’t get the presser foot to apply enough pressure to hold my fabric. I have it down as far as it will go, and the fabric still moves under the foot
I thought it was 5500 stitches per minute, I've been checking into getting one. I love it so much. I just noticed this was from 2 years ago, so maybe they made the new machines go 5500 spm.
Can I ask you where you get your matel plate with the sizes on it form I have the some sewing machine Juki DDL-8700 H- industrial machine and mines didn’t come with the size metal plate and I been looking for one for mine did your come with it
I'm excited to get mine. Thanks.
Love this video! Did your machine come with the speed control or bought separately?
Thank you! :) Both of my juki machines came with the speed control built in.
I have a vintage, in table Singer 66, and it threads almost exactly like this! I'd love to get a juki some day, but only because it's so much faster.
That’s awesome! Vintage singers are great!!
What is the difference between juki straight stitch machine vs lock stitch sewing machine?!
Good question! I’m not %100 sure, but I think it has to do with how it starts sewing. I think the lock stitch sews so that you don’t have to sew back and forth before you sew your seam? I’d have to verify that though 🙂
Thanks
I need a help I cannot start to operate the machine. Please give me instruction how to start first time
Hi just brought a Juki 8700 and didn’t recive any information with it Iv down loaded manual gosh doesn’t mean a lot.
Iv done everything I should I hope.
But Iv turned it on and my control panel which looked a bit like yours say p and three line going round in circles if I press -/+ it shows me a number like say 3 but doesn’t stay on continuing to do the above then if I sew the number 3 will be there then stop and go back to circle movement hope this makes sense and is this what is ment to happen many thanks jan
How heavy of material can you sew. I sew up to 1/4 inch leather can this machine do that or would the juki ddl 8700h be better?
Can a beginner use this machine with no prior training, learn through trial n error?
Interesting video, it threads very similar to my Singer 401A from 1959. Not exactly the same, but a similar path and mechanism.
does this plug in to a stander house out let
Yes it does. Definitely friendly to have in your own home. I've never tripped a breaker from using my machines
Is there a video of someone walking the needle very slowly with the pedal? Just want to see how slow you can go and how thick of material it can go through.
Good suggestion. I'll have to see what I can do on creating a video on that.
Hi, was there a problem with all the oil in the pan under the machine as you were moving it home? Were there any leaks or spills during the journey?
Good question! I always need to add a lot more oil to my machine after I move. I started emptying the oil out due to it spilling. Hope that helps 🙂
Hi Tailorette.... I am thinking about starting a marine canvas and upholstery shop. It seems whenever I go to a canvas guy Juki is the machine I see the most of... would you recommend this for heavy sunbrella and clear roll up plastics we use for windows in boat canvas jobs. Also wanted to know if it would be good for vinyl in seat cushions ... Thanks
Yes, good for canvas and upholstery, can handle sunbrella and plastics, vinyl is also a go
Hi nice video question this can do zigzag?
I keep going back and forth between the 8700 and the walking foot one. Because I make more handbags than clothes
This one is great with all kinds of projects. This would work really well with handbags and things.
Hi can you tell me if I bought the Teflon plate and feeder to do heavier fabric what size needle do you recommend ??
Thanks for your video I’m just waiting on my machine arriving but I use vinyl a lot for making bags and someone said I’d need to change plate feeder and needle
I am researching this machine to use for working on full grain leather. I like to make tote bags, wallets, journal covers, etc. Seems best to get a walking foot for use with leather. Have you used yours with say 4-5 to 7-8oz leather? Thank you!
Very interesting. Did you try free motion quilting with this sweet little thing? ;))
Not yet! Is it possible to do free motion quilting on it?
@@thetailorette Yes.,Stitchlength zero, footpressure low and speed as low as possible,this should work. I did it with Yuki DDL 8700-S
That’s great! I’ll have to try it!
Can we stitch on thick material like leathers n quilts?
I think this machine can sew through leather better than a home sewing machine, however, I don't think it is the most ideal machine for that job. Definitely on quilts though! I've sewing through quilts and layers of batting without an issue.
Will this take T105 thread and needle size 21? Thank you. I’m trying to sew denim with heavier thread
How do you make buttonholes?
by hand or another machine
Wonderful information, I have been looking for this sewing machine with that same servo motor. I was hoping you could give me the model number of the servo motor that is attached to your Juki. Thank you.
The oil system needs to be run at 3000+ revs, watch for oil in the top clear plug. You now know it is well lubricated and you can set the speed back to what makes you happy.
Also I want to buy some faux leather needles found them but it’s asking what size 🙈
And I would like some advice what size needles to use as a general normal sewing needle and what size bobbins they take sorry for all the questions great video and true me iv been looking at everyone on CZcams and didn’t really understand a lot many thanks jan
What thread do you use for sewing cotton?
Hi, thank you for the video... Does this machine can sew leather? Also, a speed reducer, does it came with a machine? Thanks
Great video
Hi what’s there fabric you can sewing
Can you please tell me how to lift head of machine, mine is not lifting?
It seems quite noisy for a new model when doing fast stitch, is 7000A quieter even though more expensive 🤔
Hello ... i was wondering if this machine would be good for making denim jackets and leather handbags ? Thanks
This machine could do denim jackets very easily. However, I have not experimented with leather.
@@thetailorette thanks 🖤
Thank you very much :)
I got a question about fitting a double needle. Is this possible with your Juki mashine? Thank you in advance
This machine only takes one needle at a time 🙂
bonjour je viens d'acheté une machine junky 8700 comme la votre et j'aimerais que vous fassiez une video pour regler le point dessus et dessous car je n'arrive pas merci à vous
Hello, I would like to ask what is the brand of the table, did you buy it separately? Thank you very much for the review, it really helped me.
Can you stitch stretch fabric on this machine?? Lyca fabric leggings fabric
Plz reply it’s really useful for me who looking to buy for juki plzzzzz
Will it sew automotive and marine upholstery?
Good question! I'm not %100 sure. My guess is a more study Juki might be needed for leather.
Jhuki is great machine
Is the stitch speed adjustment something you purchased separately from the actual machine? I've been looking at several different pictures of this machine but none of them have that attachment. I'm looking at purchasing and being able to adjust the speed would be great.
I have this machine with the servo motor. I do not have the digital buttons but there is a knob on the servo motor to adjust speed.
Thanks for that info on this machine I will need one of this soon n was looking for ideas about latest machines, please how much could it be in Us dollars.
If you move your reverse lever down a little bit. Your dial will move easier
Good to know! I also noticed that if you slightly tap the foot petal it loosens up the wheel.
Does this only sew straight seams?
Yes only straight seams
Very beautiful 👌👌
How does your machine do with sewing corsets?
Excellent! I find it to be the best at doing heavy duty dresses and garments
Thanks for this video
Have you used magnetic bobbins?
What size needles does it use.
Can you sew tulle fabric?
yes on the tulle fabric
The speed of this machine is impressive, but my concern is how slow it will stitch. I did see you dial it way back to 600 stitches per minute, but can it be controlled even further using the wheel by hand? Thank You & great video... very helpful!!!
There is a foot pedal underneath, so you can control how fast you are running. I believe the setting she set just limits the max
@@linuxinstalled the handwheel works like a regular sewing machine
Give full information about juki ddl8700
hi, can you do zigzag ? probably not ig
This machine does not sew in a zig zag. It is only a straight stitch.
Funny how my company can't seem to find any seamstresses. Seems like there are so many out there 🤔
How much oil does it take? Is it regular sewing machine oil? How often to you have to clean it?
The oil upfront that it takes would be about a whole bottle of machine oil that Juki sells. I purchase mine from where I purchased my machine locally. Surprisingly I don't have to clean it very often. It hardly ever jams up from the fluff that collects.
How much a mashine?
@@rukmanimalkanthi2543 I paid $800 for mine
Can you sew leather and canvas on it?
does it cut the bobbin thread if you press the bottom of the pedal like the brother one?
That would be the Juki DDL-8700-7
Where you buy your lights
how much.the portable sewing machine with edging.heavy duty made n Japan.ty plzz txtbk
just asking only.how much the Juki sewing machine / edging.plzzz txtbk asap.ty
I found one on Markeplace for $600. is that a good deal?
Yes that’s a great deal!
@@thetailorette I bought it! and now I'm learning how to adjust tension, etc. Would like more videos on adjustments, etc
will Juki 8700 it stitch thick upholstery fabric?
For thick upholstery fabrics I would buy the 8700 H
Does your thread bunch up when you start. That first 5 threads.. 😑 super annoying 😒. I wonder what the solution 🤔
Sounds like your machine might have a tension issue or it’s threaded incorrectly. 🤔
Yeah, I threaded it correctly. I plan on getting serviced. I was told by my juki dealer tension problem or threaded incorrectly. I have a tension problem from birds nest it makes when I start sewing. I have notices that the top thread gets sucked in than it starts 🙃 😅
@@thetailorette I noticed in a video making jeans that they put cloth before they sew. So like they run it nearly to the end than actual project. Solves the problem but once I sew like back pockets, waistband 🤯🤢
That machine.. made in vietnam???
Has it auto trimming function.
I want to buy sewing machine.Is this the best machine.Can we sew leather with this.
I was told it was good for faux leather with the right needles for my camper so Iv brought one x
Can we use this machine for home purposes?
Absolutely 🙂
Thank you,one more thing do we need to put oil any branded or any sewing machine oil?
@@joansbeautifulworld8396 for this machine it should come with a quart of oil to put in the bottom of the pan. Juki sells the oil that you need.
@@thetailorette thank you
