Consew 146RBL-3A-1
is a premier heavy-duty powerhouse engineered for large-scale projects requiring maximum seam elasticity. Featuring an extra-long 20-inch arm and a Triple Feed (Walking Foot) mechanism, it effortlessly handles bulky layers of canvas, vinyl, and leather without material shifting. The specialized 3-step (4-point) zig-zag stitch distributes tension across multiple points, providing the structural integrity and stretch needed for high-performance sails, trampolines, and technical textiles.
While standard zig-zag machines struggle with heavy layers, the 146RBL-3A-1 is built specifically for "climbing" over thick seams. The combination of the 3-step stitch (which avoids the "tunneling" effect on fabric) and the Walking Foot makes it the most capable machine in its class for the marine and outdoor textile industry.
- 3-Step / 4-Point Zig-Zag: Provides a 2-stitch pattern (Type 308) that offers superior elasticity and strength, preventing thread snapping on heavy stretch materials.
- Triple Feed (Walking Foot): Combines needle feed, drop feed, and alternating presser feet to ensure uniform feeding of heavy or slippery materials.
- 20-Inch Long Arm Workspace: An expansive 20" (508mm) clearance to the right of the needle allows for the easy maneuvering of bulky sails, covers, and tents.
- Large Horizontal Rotary Hook: Equipped with a high-capacity bobbin system to accommodate thick industrial threads and reduce downtime.
- Energy-Efficient Servo Motor: Includes a 110V digital Servo motor for silent operation, 90% energy savings, and pinpoint speed control.

JUKI DDL-8700 FAQs
What kind of needles do you use in the DDL-8700?
The needles with your JUKI are the Organ DBx1, available on our website. This machine uses size 16×257, size 8 through 20 or 16×97. The 8700 can also use standard needles, sizes 9 through 21, universal or fabric-specific needles such as knit.
Where does the machine oil go?
A pan directly underneath the machine supplies oil to the machine with a cotton wick. Lift the machine up and over to access the oil tank while on the table. You must keep the machine’s oil level consistently at the «high» mark, either by adding more oil or draining it and refilling it as needed. If the oil pump can’t get the oil into the machine, it can cause serious problems later.
What kind of oil does this machine require?
You need a specific type, like motor oil in your car, to keep this machine running. The DDL-8700 requires JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1, equivalent to ISO VG7.
What size table can I get with this machine?
Our table has legs and is 22"w x 47"l. It includes a knee and foot pedals and a left-hand drawer for accessories.
Does the DDL 8700 make buttonholes?
No. The 8700 only does straight stitching, with a horizontal bar on the right side for a reverse stitch.
THE ADVANTAGES OF A SERVO MOTOR
Because of the Servo motor speed control, most users find the machine more straightforward to use. Both beginning and seasoned sewers find this feature helpful when stitching projects that don't demand high-speed stitching.
They use up to 90% less power than clutch motors
They are 1/3 lighter than clutch motors
With a flick of the switch, you can reverse motor rotation
No parts to wear out or adjust
No matter how hard you press the foot pedal, the configured speed remains the same.
