JUKI LS-2342-7
is an advanced 1-needle, unison-feed (walking foot) machine that combines a high-and-long arm design with a specialized cylinder bed. This model is engineered to handle large, bulky materials and extra-heavy fabrics with ease. Its semi-long arm provides a wider workspace, while the slimmed-down throat plate allows for effortless sewing of sharp curves and small tubular items (down to ø40mm). Featuring an integrated high-torque direct-drive motor and a semi-dry head, the LS-2342-7 delivers superior penetration power and stain-free results, making it the premier choice for luxury leather bags, wallets, and furniture.

Get Ready to Fall in Love with Your New LS-2342-7
Even though it’s a high-powered industrial machine, the servo motor makes it much quieter. Smooth, fast, and quiet stitching means you’ll be able to sew longer and get bigger projects completed quickly.
Need to put the brakes on that high-speed stitch? Adjust the servo motor for a slower speed anytime.
This high-shank machine can also use many of our presser feet that fit. This means you can add on to the machine’s functions and do things like ruffling, gathering, bias, elastic, and zipper installation with a quick change of the presser foot. We carry over 200 presser feet, many of which are high-shank (as well as high-shank adapters for snap-on feet.)
Once you become accustomed to using the LS-2342-7, you’ll understand why so many other JUKI buyers swear by their machines.

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 are 1/3 lighter than clutch motors
