JUKI LU-1565N
is a vertical-axis, 2-needle machine engineered to handle the toughest materials with precision. Featuring a Unison Feed (Triple Feed) mechanism—which combines a presser foot, needle feed, and feed dog—it ensures that heavy or multi-layered fabrics are fed smoothly without any material shift. The LU-1565N is specifically designed without a thread trimmer to prioritize raw mechanical power and reliability for structural sewing in upholstery, marine gear, and leather goods.
- Unison Feed (Triple Feed): The synchronized movement of the needle, feed dog, and walking foot provides consistent feeding even on slippery or heavy-weight materials.
- Dual-Needle Capability: Allows for perfectly parallel double-row stitching, essential for structural seams on car seats, sofas, and luxury bags.
- Rectangular Feed Mechanism: Unlike conventional elliptical feed machines, this model utilizes a rectangular feed movement that reduces gathered stitches and ensures even feeding across all material thicknesses.
- Large Vertical-Axis Hook: Equipped with a large hook that accommodates increased bobbin thread capacity, significantly reducing downtime spent on thread changes.
- Adjustable Walking Foot Stroke: A top-mounted dial allows you to adjust the vertical stroke of the walking foot to easily "climb" over thick overlapping seams or cross-stitching.
- Built-in Safety Clutch: Automatically disengages the hook in the event of a thread jam or needle strike, protecting the machine’s timing and internal gears from damage.

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.
