Meistergram GEM 1502TC (Twin Compact)  

is a versatile 2-head, 15-needle embroidery machine engineered for businesses that need high production output within a limited footprint. Unlike traditional bridge-style machines, the TC series offers a more compact chassis while maintaining industrial-grade power. Capable of flat, tubular, and 270-degree cap embroidery, it delivers a massive 20" x 16.5" sew field per head at speeds up to 1,200 SPM. It is the ideal solution for scaling production on finished garments, caps, and promotional items. 

The GEM 1502TC features high-quality Japanese components and brass-inserted tensioners for the smoothest possible thread delivery. Its Encoder Controlled Stepper Motors ensure high precision and superior stitch quality, making it one of the most reliable compact multi-head machines on the market.

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.
