Members Doxnet Posted August 2, 2020 Members Report Posted August 2, 2020 Hi everyone, in the past few months I have been sewing with a Juki Lu-563 that I buy used. I did time it and clean it using the video of Uwe Gross on youtube. It sew really well. Thanks to Uwe! Back when I bought the machine to the previous owner (the first and original one!)I had already a few needles with the machine. I did buy new needle (DPX 135 )but when I sew with them it just didnt works. I think the machine was time using shorter type of needle that the one I buy. Since the machine sew really well I was hoping someone can help me find the type of needle I was already using. If I can avoid retiming the machine using the dpx 135 needles it will be cool. Even if I do lost a little bit of clearance under the presser foot using a shorter needle. See the pictures Can someone help me please? Quote
Members Constabulary Posted August 2, 2020 Members Report Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) If it was my machine I´d adjust the needle bar height to accommodate the standard 135x17 needle. The longer the needle is the thicker material you can sew. Its just raising / adjusting the needle bar as as mentioned in the manual. Its a quite easy task. Just one screw you have to loosen.
