Juki LU 563 Instructional video

Joe Werner Instructional video

[@RAMPHD]

I have been sewing on my Juki 562 (small bobbin) for about 30 years now. An incredible machine and a great video. I am always learning.

[@jenngoodger2036]

I believe the long slot on the needle should go on the outside (left) and should be threaded from left to right. The 'half moon' cutout on the other side of the needle should be towards the bobbin. That's how all industrial machines I've worked on are set up, and other videos of the LU 563 show it this way.

[@pastaman777]

The needle was absolutely inserted incorrectly early in the video. The long groove faces left and the “scarf”, the notch above the eye of the needle, faces right. If the needle is inserted backwards, the tip of the hook will hit the needle as it rotates around and cause a burr on the hook. It will also make the thread shred and break.

[@jimbobxcityguy5338]

Couldn't see it in the video if that is true. He might of said it wrong and put the needle in right. The pressor foot he stated is actually the treadle. Or foot treadle. The pressure foot as stated by others is the rear foot that just goes up and down. Weird this guy. Either hasn't been taught right or was forgetful etc.

[@yvonnealvord8947]

I'm a newby sewing with industrial sewing machines. You cleared up the bobbin placement and thread direction for me. Thank you very much for taking the time to video your Juki. I appreciate you.

[@vadim3976]

Please don't repeat his mistake. 1:51

[@producer763m]

Thanks for posting! I purchased the LU562 from a lady who retired from making curtains with it. I've had the motor replaced with a Servo motor to go slower for my specific needs. The video helped me learn how to thread it properly.

[@amandatillman7716]

could you tell me what brand or type of servo motor you used, need to change mine

[@bushcrafters3909]

That is awesome. Just purchased this machine last week. Setting it up today. Thank you for posting this vid.

Thank you. Where can I download your hand out if possible?

[@Coleen_West]

Excellent video! -- QUESTION -- Just getting into these machines and love the LU 563 and alos the Consew 206RB. One feature though, the zigzag stitch is missing from both. Don't understand why high quality machines don't have this... Is zigzag not popular or not good?? Are there versions of these two that offer iti?

I helped my buddy make this video to be graded by Penn State. He was starting out to be an instructor for Local 255 Carpenters. I'm proud to say that a year later he has influenced hundreds of apprentices who will go on to be the among the best mechanics in the country

[@Jkirk3279]

Gran Strachan Please tell him to correct his mistake on putting the needle in backward.

[@vadim3976]

@@Jkirk3279 he cannot admit that he was wrong. :)

[@Jkirk3279]

I cannot believe you told everyone to put the needle in BACKWARDS. The kerf in the needle matches the point of the hook, which is on the bobbin side. That "long slot" is for catching the thread as you slide it down toward the Eye of the needle, from left to right.

[@granstrachan3852]

William Carr maybe you should go back and read your manual! The flat side of the needle faces left so that the set screw can tighten against it. I believe it is page 6 line 6 of the manual. No your facts before you make stupid public comments!

[@monkeyceo3230]

@@granstrachan3852 Sorry to tell ya bud, but yeah, that needle is the wrong way around. The cut out is so the hook on the bobbin shuttle, doesn't make contact with the needle, as it passes the needle and catches the top thread. Will still sew like that but sounds fucking horrible. Can hear the hook hitting the needle in the video.

[@roanhielkema5714]

@@granstrachan3852 135 x 17 needles do not have a flat side. They are round shank. If you have a flat side on your needles, you're not using the right system.

[@rachelbrown4607]

Thanks for the tip about lubricating the bobbin area! My (new-to-me) old machine was acting up and I was fixing to throw in the towel and take it to the shop.

[@pashkoskoda3862]

I purchased a juki LI 563 and the needle was already in it. Position of it was the opposite of how you said to install it and it sewed great. Unfortunately I broke my first needle and I thought I’ll install the new one the way you explained. I did and when I started sewing a sample vinyl, somehow it did not catch the bobbin thread. I reinstalled it the way I had it and it worked fine. My comment is not to correct you, but rather want you to explain if you can why should it be “one way and not the other” I only have about three hours of sewing all my life, but I did manage to repair my boat canvas. Overall, video is great.

[@gergemall]

Thank you for your video. I recently bought a similar Juki machine that needs some parts .

[@mariagoetz5391]

What you state at around 10:15 is the pedal. It is not the presser foot. The presser foot is what you described earlier. that works on top of the fabric with the walking foot.

[@alnewell31]

Great video , thanks. I just bought a used 563 that looks almost unused, I oiled machine completely, but it seems very rough and not smooth while running, dose it need to be timed or something? When I rotate by hand it feels smooth. Kind of jack hammering under power if you know what I mean. Help appreciated. Thanks

[@jeffmawer9269]

Exactly same senierio here, runs "choppy". Hope one of the gurus can answer this. Please and thank you

[@vadim3976]

Al Newell you did the same like he tought 1:51?

[@ussmillerco]

Probably due to the needle being installed incorrectly in this video....as the incorrect way that the teacher tells you to install the needle. This Will certainly cause the hook point to crash repeatedly into the non scarf side (the grooved side which doesn’t have the scarf cutout for the hook point to clear the needle) of the incorrectly installed needle. Immediately remove the needle and install it with the scarf towards the bobbin side (right side) and see if that choppiness goes away. If you ran this way for anytime... I would replace the needle for sure and if problems like broken thread, or thread shredding, I would replace the hook with an original equipment one. Scarf towards hook....every time.

[@miketessier3592]

Are there any issues other than tension that can cause the "bird" or "rat's nest"? I'm using a Juki LU 563 and I've set the tension according to this and other very clear youtube tutorials, it will sew perfectly for up to quite a while and then suddenly I hear and feel a loose rattling, my material (leather) bunches under the foot and it looks like the bottom thread tightly pulls the material at the same time causing a rat's nest. Please help!

I looking for someone in Suffolk County, Long Island NY that fixes Jukis. Does anyone know of any? Thanks in advance

[@DineshC]

How Reverse Mechanism works ?

[@dannyl2598]

When setting up the bobbin for winding you have to put it through the thread tensioner on the bobbin wonder. Also when your work has oil all over it you know you have over oiled your machine.

[@langstonjones69]

Do you have documentation stating that the long groove is closest to bobbin? Everything I can find says the groove always goes to the left.

[@vadim3976]

You 100% right. He's totally wrong, but he cannot admit it. This is a serious mistake, but beginners will think this is the right way to do it.

We recently got this machine and we have been trying to sew nylon belts. every time we sew one the top stitch looks great but the bottom stitch looks ugly and it forms bumps. Any idea what it could be or suggestions on what I could do to fix it??

[@Recordgrooves]

Are you using the correct bobbins or just ones that fit?

[@billastell3753]

You could try adding more tension to the top thread. Sometime if it is too loose a bump will form on the bottom as too much top thread is pulled through.

Terry Leavelle the manuals are available online and on Juki.com

[@zttaki1]

If you are using your machine everyday.....only need to oil it probably twice a week. If using every so often.....oiling once every 2-3 weeks is fine. If the machine is over oiled.....it will stain the fabric you will sew with.

[@billastell3753]

The oil reservoir is missing from under this machine. The excess oil catchment pan is there but no reservoir. Without the reservoir the oil pump will be sucking air and the machine will not last long under hard use. (A retired Upholsterer) This is a great machine!

[@alnewell31]

This is a Juki 563, it dose not have an oil pan or an oil pump, it is manually oiled as shown in video.

[@ussmillerco]

As said before......needle install completely backwards. Doing this and sewing on a correctly timed machine and you’ll need to replace the needle at least, and possibly the hook. If anyone doubts me or others....look up how to time the hook and needle in maintenance manual...or look at others posting the procedure on youtube. You will see that the hook passes through the scarf cutout just above the eye on the upward stroke of the needle bar. If you do it this knuckleheads way, and it’s timed correctly, you’ll likely have your hook repeatedly crashing into the grooved side of your needle causing undue damage to to needle and hook. The lesson is only as good as the teacher......and I pity those who learn from this teacher.
