I have a juki 560 - wheel is moving manually, but gets hard to move at one point and then goes fine after that. The footfeed is not moving the material through. what could be the problem?

  • Remove the foot and plate. Take your thread out of the needle and see if you can run the machine and it turns freely, if so:
  • It sounds like you might have your feed dogs in crooked or your plate may be bent. Have you taken them out lately? Or bought a new plate that might not be the right one to match with the feed dogs that are in your machine?
  • Take your plate off and examine it to make sure it is flat and that the metal between the feed dogs aren't bent. If they are bent, straighten them with your screw driver. If the plate isn't flat, lay it on a flat surface that you won't hurt (cutting board, workbench, garage floor :) ) and use a hammer to beat it flat (usually a couple hits).
  • Lay the plate in place without putting the screws back in and wind the hand wheel forward and see if your machine is still hanging up. If not, put the screws back in the plate, put your foot back on and see if it works!

SOURCE: Juki Sewing machine DDL-555. After 4-5 hours use feed not moving

Sounds like as the machine builds up friction from extended use, some vital part is lacking lubrication and is seizing up. A good service person will remove ALL of the covers and thoroughly air clean and oil every moving part. Sometimes these dry points are hard to find and patience is required.

You can get a sewing machine oiler with a long applicator and put a drop of oil on anything that moves, but over oiling can be messy.

SOURCE: started sewing backwards now not moving material at all

Sounds like the machine's age is causing the lubrication to get sticky.

Try changing the pattern by moving the pattern selector around.

Take out the bobbin and remove the thread and presser foot, raise the presser lever, set the pattern to zig zag, set the stitch length to maximum and run the machine at full speed. While it's running, repeatedly press the reverse lever all the way down. Run it for at least a few minutes.

You need to be using a free motion foot or a darning foot, the regular presser foot is not for free motion.

Jammed and needle bar will not move.no thread wrapped anywhere,hand wheel won't raise the bar either

1. Remove the needle and bobbin assemble completely.
2 Try to move the hand wheel - forcefully if necessary.
3. Place one drop of oil on race. That is the little dip that has been circled. The hook (pointed thing) must ride on this smoothly.
4. Try to move the hand wheel again. Back and forth until it will move without resistance.
5. Oil parts that move with metal against metal.
6. Replace the bobbin assembly. Try to rotate the hand wheel again. If it is ok you can replace the needle.
7. Try to rotate again. If it rotates smoothly you shouldn't have any further problems. If the needle strikes something under the throat plate you will need to get the sewing machine timed.

Juki DDL-227 won't spin

:) welcome to the world of industrial machines. The good news is they are typically simple machines.

It is a good habit to take a few minutes to clean and oil your machine before you start sewing. Look for the oil points and give it one drop of quality sewing machine oil in each port.

Now let's try to determine why the hand wheel isn't turning. Loosen and remove the belt from the large reducer wheel under the table to the sewing machine. Try to turn the hand wheel. If it does turn.... Good! If it doesn't turn... we know the problem is in the the machine head and not the wheels below.

Make sure there is no bobbin thread or upper thread. Try to turn the hand wheel again. Anything?

Look carefully at the machine... is the take up lever bent? (personally had this happen with friends helped me move a big machine like this.)

Keep working this way... inspecting the machine until you find the problem. Good luck

Will it sew without the footfeed?

The feeder is what makes your fabric move towards the needle as you stitch. Without the feeder you will have to manually move the fabric forward - carefully - in order to sew. I recommend taking your machine in to have it repaired.

How to adjust the stich lenght on a juki ddl 553 strite stich.

I still don't understand this. I have acquiured a juki DDL 553 recently to discover I have no idea how to change the stitch length and that there is no reverse stitch. I have pressed the black button and have tried to turn the side?( the wheel?) but when i push down on the black button there is no way to turn the wheel it doesn't move, maybe there is some other part I'm supposed to be moving??
