Juki DU 1181N Overview - Real Walking Foot Machine?

[@lorraineclark4413]

Thank you SO much for your instructions on the 1181. I don't know what I would do without them. It's crazy how industrial machines come with ZERO instructional materials with these high-priced items (I refuse to consider the few pages of incoherent junk they have online as legitimate instructions). I don't know why on Earth Juki can't include a decent manual for this price. You've saved my business- THANK YOU!!!!!

[@CutSew]

Glad to help

[@UpcomingJedi]

Its because a LOT of people simply toss them in the trash and they know it by all the calls they get asking questions which are answered in said manuals. So, to save costs they dont provide much if any.

[@diannecarter3843]

Agreed…manual says nothing of lever to raise presser foot but this video helped 👍

[@k9dragonfactory]

one of the best sewing machine videos on youtube. Great job thanks

[@patriciakoester5495]

Thanks so much for the video. I just bought one!

[@craftyninja6978]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh la la. I’m thinking of purchasing one, now I am pretty sure! Thank you for this video!

[@CutSew]

You should!

[@Bizahaaaa]

As a relative beginner who would want to make clothing (denim jeans for example)/Bags etc. Would this be a worthwhile investment? Or would you recommend other more suitable machines for working with Denim fabrics multiple layers?

[@haarnoz]

This machine will sew material leather or cloth up to 3/8" thick". This is an industrial machine intended to last years being used many hours a day, 6 days a week. There is a learning curve for inexperienced, untrained.

[@glendaphillips-hickman2376]

I agree with the last comment as I live up in the Hill of Candor NY and I have to look at KZbin to find out the answers. Like this: I want to make a quilt and what is the lightest weight thread that I can use on my Juki 1181 with allcotton fabric?

[@vinche122]

yes, please consider it’s easier to set for thin fabric a machine for heavy work than the opposite

[@mchristofas]

Do you think the 1181 would be good for boat canvas, cushions and or auto seats?

[@CutSew]

We have some customers who use them for just that

[@cadillacescalade1]

It is designed for boat and cars real leather and pvc and vinyl l leather - no machine can do the same rsult

[@akfr0zen]

Will this sew thick leather?

[@CutSew]

No. A Juki 1560N walking foot or the 1541S work better with leather. The thicker, the more we would suggest the 1560N.

[@akfr0zen]

@@CutSew thank you!!

[@shaheengulf]

Hello thee, need some help to fix my machine problem. How to fix frequent Thread breakge foe this model

[@CutSew]

Different model, but this video may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-Zg4Cor8ihhas

[@c.brooks3013]

Can the feed dogs on this machine be lowered for free hand embroidery?

[@haarnoz]

This IS a WALKING foot machine. Besides the presser foot, there's a walking foot to advance the material on top, besides the feed dogs below

[@lindascraftsandthings915]

Hello! Can this model handle sewing leather bags (soft leather) and also, can it handle a lot of bulk to make top stitching easier on bowl cozy's? Thanks.

[@CutSew]

Sorry Linda, at this time we have no knowledge of "bowl cozys", we checked with the techs, but it can certainly work with soft leather.

[@rrseatofficial]

whats the biggest size of thread it can handle???? and needle size too

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

That's correct - behind the machine.

[@haarnoz]

138 thread, 24 needle size

[@raghuarmani8341]

So what exactly is a true walking foot machine? I am a newbie and wish to buy one for leather and similar material e.g. PU

[@CutSew]

Triple action feed is a true walking foot. Check out videos on the Juki DNU-1541S

[@haarnoz]

This IS a WALKING FOOT. It HAS a walking foot. The triple feed is a better type of walking foot. This will easily sew leather up to 3/8" thick - veg tan or chrome

[@kimstarbuck5219]

can you change from the walking foot to a normal one?

[@JJZBULLITT109]

By normal you mean bottom feed only? No. These machines aren't meant for light garment work.

[@NinjaNeko93]

Would this be good for minky fabric

[@nikaleigh7211]

Okay so this machine feeds with the feed dogs and the outside foot yes? Just not the inner foot or needle.

[@CutSew]

That's correct

[@mchristofas]

Does Juki make a similar machine that also does zig zag?

[@CutSew]

not really. The Zig Zags start around $3k

[@haideeescobar7889]

where to buy this item in manila..pls help me i needed one

[@monikakrafcikova2602]

Hi, can I do free motion quilting on this machine with the free motion industrial quilting foot? Thank you :)

[@haarnoz]

No, not the purpose of a walking foot machine

[@gameiiejehn]

what type of foot used?

[@afnanahmed6457]

How thick can it sew

[@ruthwilson7451]

Is there an automatic version of this machine at all

[@CutSew]

Yeah, but the price jump is astronomical.

[@wolfcord1976]

Essa maquina é de transporte triplo?

[@Papillon_2010]

No, es de doble arrastre, no triple

[@bigdog4520]

Does it sew leather and if so how thick?

[@CutSew]

Sure does Big Dog, but the thin stuff

[@cadillacescalade1]

1000% sewing real and vinyl leather

[@GardengalAAA]

Juki DNU 1541s for thick leather

[@heleneducharme6816]

And when you say thin leather, do you mean 2-3 oZ leather ?( 1-2 mm ? )

[@nkhataaaron3196]

What size is thread

[@diannecarter3843]

Thank you, this tutorial answered a few questions for me, manual is TERRIBLE !

[@re9073]

I’m currently looking at the 1181N and the 1541/1541s. I sew a variety of fabrics from chiffon up to 5/6oz genuine leather ( currently by hand). Which one would you recommend? In the video you sew “thinner” fabric so could it sew both? Or would I need two different machine, one for light weight fabric and another for my leather work? Thanks in advance

[@CutSew]

Good question. Heavier leathers that you mentioned would be best sewn by the 1541S, whereas the lightweight materials may bunch up under the foot of the same machine. You could try the lightweight with the 1541s, but you may just need a single needle lockstitch like the Juki DDL-8700

[@re9073]

@@CutSew thank you so much for responding I currently have a domestic Huqsvarna Viking that I sew on, but it can only handle up to 2/3 oz. guess I’ll have to keep it in addition to getting the 1541s.

[@haarnoz]

You could sew both, but it would be a lot of work changing thread sizes, needle sizes (extremely different from thin thread and needle to thick thread and needle) as well as changes to bobbin thread tension and upper thread tension balance. With home type of machines, they mostly only use one size thread. Industrial machines can use many different sizes. This one from thin 40 - 138 thick

[@3AsianBoi]

Do you have information on techsew? Looking into techsew 2900L but can’t find much reviews on it. Also what is dual feed or triple feed? What is the best juki walking foot available or best walking foot machine you’d recommend?

[@CutSew]

I'm sorry, but no. Of several hundred brands we know of, we've never heard of that one.

[@kcalais1]

@@AJNoon WOW! Chico no need to be an asshole. There's enough of them out there. I appreciate anyone that provides videos for the public. You do your research and cull the information based on what you find. I'm sure Techsew makes good machines as well.

[@amsm3659]

Can you do videos about LZ 271 JUKI

[@CutSew]

Sorry, we're focused on Industrial Equipment, not really doing embroidery machines.

[@sachuselvaraj448]

I want to buy

[@traceybaugh1531]

What about thick leather

[@CutSew]

DNU-1541S may be better for the thicker leather. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYfXc5ivl6qHq5o to get a feel for this machine.

[@ajivijayanajivijayan9218]

which tread

[@CutSew]

I think we used a 69 nylon in this video
