Meistergram GEM XL 1500/800  

is a powerhouse single-head, 15-needle commercial embroidery machine engineered for businesses that require an expanded sewing field without sacrificing the precision of a high-speed unit. Featuring a massive 800mm x 500mm (31.5" x 19.7") work area and a stable bridge-style frame, this machine is specifically designed to handle oversized items like jacket backs, banners, and heavy-duty bags. Equipped with an intuitive 10" HD touchscreen and reaching speeds up to 1,200 SPM, the XL 1500/800 is the ultimate tool for scaling your custom embroidery production. 

The GEM XL 1500/800 stands out by offering "Bridge Architecture," which allows bulky items to lie flat on the table rather than hanging, preventing fabric distortion and birdnesting. Combined with high-quality Japanese components and brass-inserted tensioners, it provides the most reliable uptime for commercial shops looking to tackle large-scale projects.

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.
