Theworks001 Report post Posted March 5, 2023 I’m trying to swap the needle system on my juki 1508nh to the 135x17 needle system. Could someone please provide me with some directions? Many thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted March 5, 2023 Set the needles side by side,you'll notice the 135x17 is approx 1/4" or 6mm shorter.Lower the needlebar all the way down,mark it right at where it comes out of the bushing.Open the side cover & loosen the set screw @ the clamp(while holding onto the bar) & lower it the 1/4" & tighten the screw & give it a test sew.

dfrensdorff Report post Posted March 6, 2023 I have this same machine, and changed to the 135x17 needle system several years ago. I used Bob’s instructions and it worked perfectly .. very easy to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
