LU-562 reverse

Recommended Posts

I love my Juki LU-562 but locking in a stitch line is always a problem. I have to hold the thread in my left hand, hold down the reverse lever with the right and I don't have enough hands to guide the material. Has anyone figured out a way to 'lock' the reverse lever down so it doesn't have to be held down manually?

You could drill a hole in it and a hole in the table directly under that hole, then connect it to a floor mounted foot pedal with a chain. Or, you could fashion a tapered latch that sits on the table out of the way until you lower the reverse lever and rotate the latch to hold the lever down. You could probably print out such a thing on a 3D printer.
