cut out the pressor foot on my Techsew 2750 pro and it worked great for edge sewing. I can see the needle like I wanted to!

I use only Titanium System 135x16 needles on my Singer walking foot and 2 Singer patch machines. They penetrate Venture Tape without gumming up in the eye. Regular steel needles always gum up from Venture Tape. They are available in sizes 18 through 24. I use numbers 19 through 23 with the walking foot 139w109 and either 18 (#69 thread) or 19 (#92 thread) on the 29k patchers.

I'd try some 135x17 #16 or #14 ...but the smallest I could ever find where the #18.  I use a lot of basting tape.

 

That watch band looks great!! :-)

I kinda have a similar setup on my LU562, so I can swing my right angle binder in and get it close.  The presser foot plate is ground out a bit too.

I made an in-line walking foot for a Pfaff  545 a few weeks ago:

Uwe...Your JUKI LU563 vid was fantastic.  Besides the exceptional quality, VERY useful.

I have one question.  Since it appears stitch lengths can be independent of each other in forward or reverse, I assume the forward stitch length could be increased to a max of 7.5mm (or more), not worrying about matching up with reverse?  I have no need for matching holes in detailed leather work, but in my marine canvas, the longest stitch length up to 10mm is desirable.  Backstitching is only for locking and appearance is a LOW 2nd in this small area.  I'd love to increase my LU562 (assuming it's the same as the 563) to the machine's maximum. Currently I'm getting about 6mm.   I'm going to need to spend some quality time and match your video to my JUKI.

Great work and thanks!!

Never mind...I read in the YouTube comments that answers my potential 10mm forward stitch length.   Hoping on this end that I don't have the "factory set length" type of machine..   but I do have reverse on my 562
