Yamata FY-2970 Series
is the professional choice for shoe repair, luggage mending, and leathercraft. Its most distinct feature is the 360-degree rotating presser foot, which allows you to sew in any direction without turning the material. This is critical for patching boots, replacing zippers in bags, and repairing tight corners in leather goods.
Unlike traditional hand-cranked patchers, this model comes integrated with a servo motor system, providing the power needed to penetrate thick leather while maintaining the precise speed control required for delicate repair work.
- 360° Universal Feed: The top-feed mechanism rotates in a full circle, allowing you to stitch forward, backward, or sideways by simply turning the directional wing-nut.
- Slim Cylinder Arm: The small-diameter arm is designed to fit deep into the toes of boots, the sleeves of jackets, and the narrow pockets of handbags.
- Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure: Easily tune the foot pressure to handle anything from thin canvas and nylon to heavy-weight veg-tan leather.
- Direct-Drive Capability: While it includes a motor, the machine also features a large handwheel for manual, stitch-by-stitch control on extremely intricate repairs.

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.
