JUKI LU-1508NS
is a premier industrial workhorse engineered for heavy-duty manufacturing. Featuring a specialized rectangular feed mechanism, this unison-feed (walking foot) machine ensures powerful material handling without stitch gathering or pitch errors. It is the gold standard for professionals working with thick leather, multi-layered upholstery, and heavy-weight synthetics.
- Superior Unison Feed: Combines needle feed, feed dog, and walking foot motions to move heavy materials smoothly and powerfully.
- Rectangular Feed Motion: Prevents "flopping" and eliminates stitch gathering across varying material thicknesses, ensuring consistent stitch quality.
- Vertical-Axis Double-Capacity Hook: The top-loading large hook reduces the frequency of bobbin changes, maximizing sewing efficiency.
- Dual-Tension Mechanism: Provides excellent seam quality by supporting high-tension sewing even with very thick industrial threads.
- High Presser Foot Lift: A generous 16mm (knee) and 9mm (hand) lift allows for effortless handling of bulky fabrics and thick seams.
- Safety Clutch: Built-in protection automatically disengages the hook during a thread jam to prevent damage to the internal timing and components.
- Quiet Servo Motor: The energy-efficient motor provides silent operation and precise speed control, consuming up to 90% less energy than traditional clutch motors.

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.
