JUKI LH-3500A Series 

is the cutting-edge successor to the renowned LH-3500 line, featuring significantly enhanced mechanisms for professional-grade seam quality. This machine is engineered with JUKI’s exclusive Semi-Dry Head technology, which eliminates oil stains on fabrics by removing lubrication from the needle bar area. Whether you are working with light foundations or heavy denim, the LH-3500A provides unparalleled thread tension control and a 32% increase in material penetrating force, making it the most reliable 2-needle solution in the industry. 

  • Semi-Dry Head Technology: Prevents costly oil stains on garments. The needle bar section is completely dry, while the hook section uses a minute-quantity lubrication system. 
  • Direct-Drive Performance: The integrated AC servomotor provides instant start-up, superior stopping accuracy, and reduced vibration. This design also increases energy efficiency and provides 32% more needle penetration power compared to belt-driven models. 
  • Organized Split Needle Bar (Available on LH-3568A/3588A): The only semi-dry split needle bar machine in the industry. It allows operators to stop one needle for perfect corner stitching without sacrificing fabric cleanliness. 
  • Dual-Feed Versatility: Easily switch between Needle Feed (for preventing material slippage) and Bottom Feed (for preventing puckering in light materials) through a simple adjustment. 
  • Active Thread Tension: Two specialized tension mechanisms are available. The "A/F" types prevent puckering on light fabrics, while the "S/G" types ensure well-tensed, beautiful seams on heavy-weight materials and jeans. 
  • Smart Oiling System: Features two selectable methods: 
  • Eco-oil Method: Filters and circulates oil back to the tank to reduce consumption. 
  • Clean Oil Method: Always supplies fresh, clean oil to the hook for maximum hygiene.

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.
