How to clean, oil, maintain sewing machine {Juki DDL-8700}

In this video I show you how to clean, oil, thread and maintain a sewing machine. I also explain the parts on the machine as I go along The one I am using is a juki , I talk about tension issues you can come across and how to correct the problem, I also talk about filling a spool and sometimes there are filling issues if the spool is just slightly too big .You can use the methods I use on all machines relating to tension issues its the same principle really , it really is quite easy when you know how.

[@MrsBennett67]

I’m about to order of of these Juki models and I’ve been watching all the videos I can’t find in preparation for it. Yours is by far, the best tutorial with the clearest instructions and detailed descriptions I’ve come across! Thank you ma’am! 😊

[@lynnelepore2005]

This is probably one of the best videos on the DDL8700! I've watched other videos and they were incorrect compared to your instruction! First, the store I bought my machine from told me that I never had to oil my machine, but just keep the pan filled and it will run forever. Watching your video, I realized I've got to get some oil and get busy oiling other parts. Second, I was having issues with my tension and the thread on the bottom was "railroading". As soon as I was done watching the your video through the tension part, I immediately went to my machine made some adjustments and BAM, all fixed!!!! I can't even tell you how excited and happy I am to have found your little channel! I've already subscribed and look forward to watching other videos. Thank you so very much from the USA!

[@TinaBambina]

Hi lynne I am so glad you found this video helpful , it is lovely hearing from people who it has helped and thank you for subscribing ❤️

[@Bd3849.]

She’s actually doing that part wrong, probably due to experience with other machines. This machine has an oil pump so that it automatically oils all of the moving parts, not just the ones at the bottom. It’s a little funny as you can actually see little tubes going directly to the areas she’s wasting time oiling that carry oil there automatically. As she says in the video, over oiling can be just as bad as under oiling so I wouldn’t recommend adding any oil yourself the way she does in this video unless you personally know your oil pump has stopped working.

[@TinaBambina]

@@Bd3849. Hi after reading your message, I have been and looked over my machine very thoroughly, yes there is one single tube that goes up to the top of the machine and I would like to thank you for bringing this to my attention, I don’t know how I missed that , there is nothing at all that oils the parts underneath the needle plate, I have had my machine for many years and touch wood had no major issues, I would still recommend oiling all the parts that I point out in the video because you can not see exactly where the tubes goes to X

Best video tanks

[@CeNadraz]

Thank you, I will use these instructions to clean and oil my machine. Regarding tension, one should check using the right size needle and threaded it right before changing tension, especially on the bobbin case. One can check the tension in the bobbin case by putting the bobbin in and hold the thread and see if it drops or not. A little nudge and it should drop a bit but stop.

[@TinaBambina]

Check to see if the machine is threaded right , the needle doesn’t play a part in the tension, threads and it been threaded right does and the bobbin case will slowing drop if you hold the thread and let it tyebbobbin case drop to your opposite hand but it won’t stop you just have to catch it in your hand x

I just bought a Juki 5550 and I adore it. I did some work on the belt because it was sooooooo tight.The handwheel can be moved by hand now whereas before it couldn't. I did notice tho that while the stitch is good it seems a touch looser now. Should I move the belt back to where it was?

[@TinaBambina]

No the stitch is nothing to do with the belt , firstly check that the machine is threaded correctly on top and underneath in the bobbin case , if the tension is loose on top as you sew then you need to tighten the screw on the bobbin case if the tension is loose underneath as your sewing then you need to tighten the upper tension disc , just remember always opposite so tension problem when the threading is all correct when the problem is on top it’s the tension underneath and when the problem is underneath then it’s the tension on top to adjust x

Take you bobbin holder out from underneath hold the thread in your hand and let the bobbin drop into your opposite hand , it should drop with ease if it is not dropping then it is too tight , there a tiny screw on the bobbin case to tighten or loosen the thread turn it anti clock wise to loosen it , hope this helps .

It could very well be the thread you are using , take it off your machine and pull at the thread holding it in both hands and pulling from both sides if it snaps then your thread isn’t strong enough for the job. Hope this helps.

Hi Tina, I am in the USA. Your video is lovely. I do have a question about the needles which I haven't found an answer to. My juki is the DDL-227 (It's older). I just purchased it pre owned. The Manual says to use needles with the designation DB X 1 (231) . When serching to purchase them, all I see are ones which are DB X 1 (257) . Question is are these interchangeable or should I continue looking for the 231 needles? Thank you.

[@pmclelland3]

I have an 8700 and it is a great machine. My question is when sewing with heavy polyester tread, large needle, and sunbrella canvas. My bobin adjust is very loose and the top tension is very very tight to get an "OK" stitch. The ultimate goal is to have upper and lower stitch look the same. I read that the bracket just above the upper tensioner can be moved left or right for heavier thread. Do you know what is actually happening when moving that to either side?

[@TinaBambina]

Hi Mike I have never had to move mine , but I also use heavy polyester thread and I don’t change my tension much on top or underneath and the stitch is fine.

I have a new junki sewing machine get it for my birthday for some reason I I can’t get it to sew can u help me

[@TinaBambina]

First make sure that the lead is fully plugged into the machine ,some time certain machines have in the hand turn wheel where you turn to put the needle either up or down make sure if your machine has this that it has been tighten if it’s loose then it won’t sew, check your manual for any other problems that may cause your machine not to work some times there also a button that you can press that will put your machine in a mode where the machine won’t run. Because you maybe doing some thing to your machine where you need it to be still I hope this helps let me know how you get on , if the machine is brand new it will be under warranty if you can’t get it to work if it second hand the plug may need a new fuse x

How much oil would it need ?

[@TinaBambina]

Are you asking from a machine that has no oil in at all ?

[@TinaBambina]

450 ml it would take to fill the bottom oil pan x

The motor on my ddl 8700 is very quiet. It’s hard to tell is on!

[@TinaBambina]

I think the new motors are a lot quiter than the older ones .

[@julissarodriguezabba5598]

Please ,mi maquina rompe el hilo, que puedo hacer?

[@TinaBambina]

Two things your tension is too tight so loosen this off or your cotton is old and will keep snapping , hold the thread with both hands and if it snaps easily throw it away because it’s probably old and weak.

[@frankjanvari8650]

hello very nice lady please as previously requested 8 months ago please kindly place the video camera on the floor and film how to operate the juki sewing machine foot pedal how its used to sew please OK? please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much

[@TinaBambina]

Hi frank I’m doing a video on the juki hopefully on the weekend so should be out shortly , I will try and remember to add how the foot pedal works.

[@TinaBambina]

Frank if you look at my video what size needle to use on the juki, at the end I do show you how the foot pedal works .

[@ladytimahtijani7798]

But why is the name Written at the middle and not the side

[@TinaBambina]

Only the designer can tell you that , probably because it would look plain if it wasn’t there maybe

[@karenbochinski]

my juki makes no noise i probably have a new one

[@rsplatt100]

She has a clutch motor which is an older motor. The new ones have a servo motor which are much, much quieter

[@neripaderes428]

Fucos please the video

[@TinaBambina]

Hi Sorry what do you mean?
