How To Set Tension On The Juki DDL 8700/5500 Industrial (Perfect Tension) 

Thank you so much for this instructional video on sewing machine tensions because incorrect machine tensions causes headaches.

Ooooh, great tips. . . . , I love all the JUKI boxes 📦 in the background ! So much inspiration !

Good evening sir. No one, not even the technician who came from the dealership, gave me that much information. Thank you very much. Fotini from Greece

Oh my gosh I have gone through many videos for this problem and yours was the BEST! So simple yet it solved the problem. Thank you, from a beginner Juki 5550 user.

Thanks!

What a fine video. Thank you.

Merci beaucoup, de France

Thanks for sharing!

Hi thank you this is helpful. my machine sews fine with about 3/4 layers of cotton but i cant sew thinner fabrics like silks or even one layer of cotton. It doesn't catch on the fabric.Do you have any suggestions

I use Tex 70 bonded nylon. I’m concerned because the upper tension has to be tightened almost to the max in tension to retain a lower proper stitch. If not I end up with loops on the underside of my project. What is concerning is the thread will ravel and break. Any suggestions? Oh yes, I sew vinyls and leather. Thank you. Phyllis

hey David, could you please help? i have a problem with the Threads/Stiches and the Tension of my ddl 8700. the first problem i have is that the individual stiches/ Threads are not straight instead they are narrow. Second problem is the tension. i've tried to fix it by myself by watching uncountable videos on youtube and tried to figure it out, from the upper tension to the bottom tension, i've tried everything i could but still, if the upper stiches look okay, then the bottom stiches are chaotic like the have that straight one line with dots from the upper stiches and if i fix that, the upper stiches will have the same problem. Hope you see this! 😢

Hi, I am interested juki ddl8000a hope someday juki junkies will have this machine please.😊

My tread keep breaking. I am not sure how to fix that.

Why is there not a small spring guage available to get very close. Could be made adjustable to be used on top and bottom bobbins...

How do you adjust the tension for reverse sewing? Going forward is fine, but when I reverse the tension goes super high. I have this same machine, juki 8700

adjusting my tension on upper or lower does not solve the issue I have with extreme fabric bunching when sewing quilting cotton. What do I need to do?

Hello David.I have a Juki DDL 5550..my problem is the thread always coming off that i cant stitch straight coz i always have to insert thread again and again..Im a newbie user😅

When sewing vinyl the thread bird nest really bad on the underside. I have to set the upper tension tight, is this normal ?

What would be a good bobbin tension on a Towa guage?

It doesn't matter what I do I can't fix the tension, but my machine is brand new so I feel like I shouldn't have to fix the spring? 😢

Mine isn't sewing at all no connections

Per chance do you sell the Juki 8700-7 industrial sewing machine?
