Consew 29  

is the definitive industrial "patcher," a staple in shoe repair shops and leather mending studios worldwide. Its most distinct feature is the 360-degree universal revolving presser foot, which allows the operator to change the direction of the stitch without turning the material. Available with either a 12-inch or 18-inch cylinder arm, this machine is specifically designed to reach deep into the toes of boots, the narrow sleeves of leather jackets, or the tight corners of handbags—places a standard sewing machine simply cannot go. 

Why Choose the Consew 29? 

Unlike a standard walking foot machine that requires you to rotate the entire item to change direction, the Consew 29 allows the machine to rotate while the item stays still. This is often the only way to successfully repair a tall boot or a rigid handbag. It is a specialized investment that expands the capabilities of any leather-working shop. 

The Consew 29 is the "Swiss Army Knife" of leather repair: 

  • Footwear: Patching shoe uppers, replacing elastics, and mending boot linings. 
  • Apparel: Repairing leather jacket sleeves, elbows, and pocket linings. 
  • Handbags: Stitching internal gussets and replacing zippers in awkward corners. 
  • Equestrian: Mending narrow straps and lightweight horse tack. 
  • Orthotics: Customizing and repairing orthopedic footwear and braces. 
  • 360° Universal Feed: A directional wing nut on the presser bar allows for stitching in any direction—forward, backward, left, or right—providing total control over intricate repairs. 
  • Tapered Cylinder Arm: The ultra-slim arm is designed to fit inside shoes, boots, and tubular leather goods for internal mending. 
  • Manual or Motorized Versatility: This model features a large handwheel for precise manual control, but can be equipped with a servo motor for faster production. 
  • Small-Area Precision: Engineered for delicate work on light-to-medium leathers, vinyl, elastics, and canvas. 
  • Adjustable Arm Lengths: The 12-inch model offers standard reach, while the 18-inch model provides the deep clearance needed for tall riding boots and large luggage. 
  • Easy Maintenance: A robust, time-tested mechanical design that is famous for its durability and ease of repair.

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.
