Meistergram GEM XL 1500/1200  

is a premier single-head, 15-needle commercial embroidery machine engineered for businesses that demand extra-large capacity. Featuring a massive 1200mm x 500mm (47" x 19.5") sewing field—the largest in its class—the XL 1500/1200 is specifically built to handle oversized items like leather jackets, upholstery, and banners that standard machines cannot accommodate. Powered by a world-class Panasonic Servo motor and an intuitive 10" HD touchscreen, this bridge-style machine combines industrial-grade durability with high-speed precision (up to 1,200 SPM). 

Unlike standard single-head machines, the GEM XL 1500/1200 is defined by its "Bridge Clearance," allowing bulky items to rest on the table rather than hanging off, which prevents fabric distortion. With brass-inserted tensioners and an on-board diagnostic system, it is built to provide the smoothest thread delivery and the most reliable uptime in the commercial 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.
