Doxnet Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post 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.
