This is the Industrial Sewing Machine You Want and Why. Juki 1541 Triple Feed Walking Foot

[@AlexanderDyer]

I want to thank everyone for checking out my video with a special shout out to all my subscribers! Be sure to check in the description for additional information and links to the Juki 1541 manual and purchasing recommendations.

[@soleseaker1989]

Alexander Dyer how do you feel about the Juki ddl9000c fms. That’s the next machine I’m going for.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Do you have any experience with the Consew 2206-14 7-DD? It looks like a similar one to this but has programmable features and a direct drive.

@AlexanderDyer can the 1541 handle light weight material? something like single layer of cotton?

[@RealGrubert]

It is nice to see that Thing has found work after the Addams Family.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Actually Thing was my third cousin. He passed away in 2009, god rest his soul.

[@TrojanStarryNight]

I have owned my Juki 1541s for 10 years now and use it for marine upholstery, canvas and Strataglass. This is an animal with a servo motor.

[@mothermayi7832]

I have the same machine that you have ,but it keeps getting out of alignment and it cost me 200 dollars to have the machine guy come to my house to fix it. It takes him two minutes to put it back in alignment. I wish I could fix it myself. Do you have any suggestions?

[@mothermayi7832]

I use a big needle in it ( size 23) when I am sewing on leather.

[@gregthompson8062]

@@mothermayi7832 Yes get the instruction and engineers manual. I laminate mine and comb bind them so I can keep it easily to read. Best way to get it dialed in.

[@jos9569]

I've had this one's little brother, the Juki DU1181n. I sew a lot of marine vinyl on it, and it's my favorite machine in over 50 years of sewing. I don't need a compound feed--I have a Consew 227 cylinder arm, but it's really overkill for my bagmaking needs.

My mom has an old juki industrial sewing machine when she used to work at maidenform. It has the original green factory sewing table.

[@wilsonsdotadota9504]

Thanks for this info, I now got what I have to look out for when I need a machine depending on my work load

[@SteveSnowman]

Boy, @Alexander Dyer. I noticed that you were able to adjust the stitch length (direction important here) from, say, 2mm-to-9mm without having to hold down on the fwd/rev handle while rotating the round knob. For example on my JUKI 1541S machine : Increasing the stitch length (round knob) the fwd/rev handle will float up without any hand assistance, BUT, when Decreasing the stitch length (round knob) the fwd/rev handle WILL need some hand assistance (pre-load if you will) to allow the stitch length (round knob) to rotate clock-wise, thus decreasing the stitch length. Hope that made sense. I'm a bit confused. New JUKI 1541S owner. Great video too, thanks.

[@AlexanderDyer]

It is ok to help the adjustment by pressing the reverse down to relieve spring pressure from the adjustment stop.

[@douglasthompson2740]

I have a Jukki 1540 (I think. I bought mine new about ten years ago. Now you show a 1541 so I will have to double check next time i am in the shop). Mine has a reducer on it and while I really like it doing boat canvas, insulated denim coveralls etc. I find the arm really should be longer to better take advantage of the machines capabilities. My biggest gripe with it is the bobbin replacement. The Japanese must have really small fingers but my meathooks won't work in that little space! I have to do it from underneath as you show only I use a large 'L' shaped table so to get under it I have to get up and go around the twelve feet of table to insert the bobbin from the far side where I have a lighter outfeed table that I can move first. I have never been able to start a stitch with any of my machines without holding the threads down. Always learn something new. I didn't know you could fill the bobbins while working. Of course I have a couple of dozen that I fill at one time so I haven't needed that feature. Nice to know though. I did buy a full manual when I bought mine and it is pretty good not like the Chinglish we are now subjected to. Good video. Doug

[@steve0inmontana811]

Thank you. Great video. I just bought this same machine today. I don’t know anything about it, but hope to learn how to use soon.

[@sbaumgartner9848]

[@Designsbyg]

Good info. I liked how you started this vid...with the film countdown...(trigger) I wanted to get into upholstery and a Juki was top of my list. Things didn't go as planned and a Pfaff (1245) came up at a decent price (and no tax). Being able to sew as much fabric as I can fit under that foot is nice... (love film projectors and sewing machines)

[@ChrisSmith-tw1mo]

True workhorse. Had mine for a few years; I personally think it's the best Upholstery grade Walking foot on the market. Although if I could do it all again I'd probably go for the 1508. My 1541 had the knob to adjust the Foot height (as seen on the 1541-7's) as well as the actual tension assembly from the 1508; but not all of the 1541's have that. It appears only the later model ones have both of these. The earlier 1541s have Tension assemblies that feature only one pretensioner which locks the user in at #69-#138 thread. I've gone as high as #277 on mine comfortably with a Sz24-25 needle. 1508 has the U-Bobbin also, which is noticeably bigger in person.

I have 2 home juki machines dx5 and 2200 mini. I wanted to get another that would see sunbrella easier when making bags. This looks perfect! When I went in to look at a few they were all so fast! I could not get them to sew at a speed that worked for me. This one looks amazing

[@AlexanderDyer]

Speed is a function of the motor. Clutch motors tend to be very fast, that is how 'industry' likes their sewing; time is money. By changing out to a servo motor you can completely change the characteristic and behavior of any given machine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opLZnKmpipqfqs0

[@atomicskull6405]

Walking foot is important if you want to sew kites or sailboard sails but for a different reason. Coated ripstop polyester is extremely frustrating to sew on a normal sewing machine because the feed dogs slip. It's a very light thin fabric with a feel more like plastic than cloth. Also dacron leading edges and nose webbing are pretty heavy duty sewing as well.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Good Stuff, Thanks.

[@JM-rf1vp]

Are you able to sew thin ripstop and kite like material on a 1541? I read that these machines don’t like lite / thin materials.

[@fredvarao3894]

I have one and I suggest you hold the thread to start, I love this machine but you have to watch to complete cycle of the needle wen you reverse to avoid problems. thanks for the video, that's a great machine!

That is good advice, thanks.

Yep. I need this.

[@roserobertson8993]

Do you still need the machine

[@stoneblue1795]

I was saving up for this exact model, I had done my research, checked prices and it was the one I was after. I was getting tired of waiting as I didn't quite have all the funds in order. Instead I bought a lesser-priced Consew 206-RB5, yeah, the first ones made in China, not Japan. It dialed in easily and has been a great machine. Fast forward, I ended up working for awhile at a place that had Juki 1541 machines, many of them. After sewing Cordura at work I would come home and work from my Consew. In the end, I ended up liking the Consew better. Both great machines though, I suppose it's what a person get's used to!

Hey, I have the 2750pro and a couple Juki LU562 flatbeds. Honestly, I hardly ever use the table attachment, I mostly use the cylinder arm when necessary and mostly use the flatbeds, I find them easier to manage the material during sewing. Hope this helps! Cheers!

[@rmcdaniel423]

Could you please share some details about the MOTOR you are running in this set-up? I have a good basic servo set up with my Singer 20u33, but it seems to lack power and punch when the going gets a little tough. Sometimes when trying to climb over a thick seam it will just stop dead in its tracks and shudder. Yours is quiet like a servo, but seems stronger and more undaunted.

[@AlexanderDyer]

You have probably seen this video already. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opLZnKmpipqfqs0 That is my go to motor (the servo). When you say that your machine "shudders" it sounds like something is slipping if I am following you correctly. The 20U is a drop feed and drop feeds have a tendency to peel out or not advance the material when they hit difficult areas like seams. Next time that happens see if your motor is actually stopped or is something else happening. Belt slip Maybe? It is hard to say from here.
