JUKI LG-158 Series

is designed for "extra heavy-weight" production where material size and thickness are extreme. Featuring a generous 750mm (30") horizontal clearance, it allows operators to spread out bulky items like tents and tarpaulins without bunching. Its powerful unison-feed (triple feed) mechanism ensures that multiple thick layers advance evenly, providing consistent stitch quality even on rubberized fabrics and heavy canvas. This complete workstation includes a heavy-duty table and a silent, high-torque servo motor for maximum control.

  • Massive 750mm (30") Long-Arm: Provides an expansive workspace essential for navigating large panels, sails, and industrial covers. 
  • Synchronized Unison Feed: Combines needle-feed, bottom-feed, and walking-foot movement to prevent layers from shifting, ensuring professional results on slippery vinyl or heavy leather. 
  • Vertical-Axis Large Hook: Incorporates a "Jumbo" bobbin system that holds 1.6 times more thread than standard hooks, significantly reducing downtime for bobbin changes. 
  • Automatic Safety Device: If a thread jam occurs, the built-in safety clutch automatically disengages the hook to prevent damage to the machine’s timing or internal gears. A simple reset button returns the machine to normal operation. 
  • Ultra-High Presser Foot Lift: A pedal-operated lift of up to 21.5mm (nearly an inch) ensures effortless placement and removal of extra-thick assemblies.

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.
