Juki DDL-8700 Tension removal and replace

[@jenni-hopekelland4565]

Whoever or where ever you are, thank you. I have a Juki DDL-8300N, am isolated thanks to this quarantine because I have asthma and cancer, besides being old. So I was seriously panicking when my tension spring went limp because my fabric stash and machines are my sanity! Your video was easy to follow and now it's happy and I'm happier. Bless you!

[@Sewinggold]

Thank you. Get well!!!

[@2andor4]

Great video! I have the Juki DDL-9000c-fms and have a problem with the tension disks being super loose. When I tried to fix that the entire tension knob came out and now I am having difficulty putting it back in correctly. At least your video gave me an idea of how it goes in (mine has a pin guide in addition to the spring) because I cannot find a single video on my model. Wish I lived in your area because finding someone who fixes industrials is hard!

[@a1nelson]

Thanks to both of you for the great explanation. My 8700 tension adjustment has been giving me all sorts of problems. Now, I finally understand why and what to do about it.

[@Sewinggold]

Excellent!

[@sallycleveland1321]

I was having problems, Steve. With that tension, but my hubby fixed it for me. Thank you.

[@Sewinggold]

No problem Sally. Email me or call me if you have any other issues.

[@jibrinfatimah4755]

Thank you for the good work.please was wondering what to do or the right way to replace the thread tension. Because the under thread keeps bunching up and not neat

[@wazzazv614]

That was a great video. I have looked at many but this explained things so well.

[@triciap3803]

I'm trying to replace mine from a used machine I have, it definitely didn't get the TLC it should have from the previous owner, but it's in good condition. Any suggestions to get one out that is stuck? I took the screw completely out, so I know it's not the screw holding it in at all. Didn't know if I could spray wd40 in there, I didn't want to do that without a professional saying it was ok. Is that an option? Having the same issue with the big cover on the left side of the machine that covers the wick and needle arm assembly. Any suggestions are super appreciated. Thank you 😊

[@ChaChaNKoleStyle]

Hi! Thanks for your videos. The base of my tension assembly broke off into my machine. I added WD-40 and tried to pry it out with pliers, but no luck. Do you have any idea how else I can remove it? Thank you!

[@rizosaeed2100]

Iam very thankful to you solve my problem may god bless you so nice of you

Thank you very much because I watched the NATO video because NATO is here to fix my machine and I even saved money paying the mechanic

[@Sewinggold]

Happy too hear that our video helped you.

[@shantalnaidoo9125]

Hi. My name is Shantal. Thank you for the video, I have a DDL-8500. My thread was snapping after every 5 seconds or when I would double tack. I tried to re thread it. Still happening. Then I tried to change the tension. Now the under stitch is bunching which never happened before. Would appreciate your assistance. Thx

[@VassieArts]

The problem with my machine now is that that cylinder thing is like permanently attached to the machine...i cannot remove it even when i remove the screw. what should i do?

[@triciap3803]

I'm having the same problem. If you don't mind me asking, did you ever find a resolution for yours?

[@tinapromise3480]

Hi thank you for this video it was very helpful as is the video for replacing the rubber band (thats not the name of it but right now my brain just went blank...) ok i followed your instructions and Jose' too but my tension, after i tighten screw on the inside n outside and then i bring up the foot it all loosens up again, it almost pops out the when you loosen the screw on the outside to make the adjustment...the screw is still tight but the actual tension mechanism is loose again as if i never tightened the screw??? what am i missing? i hope you understand what i am trying to explain. thanks much..

[@Sewinggold]

You probably pushed the tension too far into the machine. That will release the tension and loosen it. I hope that answers your question.

[@tinapromise3480]

@@Sewinggold i dont know, i pushed until it stops, as per jose, then i screwed the screw back in but when i turn the knob to adjust the tension it almost pops right back out and i have to screw it again..i so not happy..

[@Sewinggold]

@@tinapromise3480 Hi Tina, Can you post a video of the issue?

[@tinapromise3480]

@@Sewinggold thanks again for responding...i think i figured it out, well you gave me something to go back and check again and it worked!..now i have another issue, i attempted to test sew some leather and my thread was not right on the underside so i attempted to adjust the tension and unscrewed the smallest screw(thinking I was tightening it) and dropped it on black carpet, need I say more the screw is about the size of a period on a letter and dropped on top of black carpet it is a total lost sooooo i am back at square one which is no production on my project. i am sure i will be contacting you again, so until then thank you for your assistance and have a great day.

What is the spring called that goes behind the tension assembly? My used machine didn’t come with one and I’d like to replace it. I can’t seem to find it when I search because I don’t know the name...

I let my neighbor borrowed my juki last year but when he returned the machine that tension is missing. Is their any reason why it went missing?? Can it just loose it screw?

[@angelasutton7629]

hi i have a problem with juki ddl8700 when i finish sewing the thread gets stuck in the bobbin or tow strands of thread comes out I have to turn the hand weel to release the thread have you any help in this this matter Angela from uk

[@Sewinggold]

Make sure you turn the hand wheel (toward you) until the take up lever is at it's highest position. Then remove your fabric and the extra thread should not be there.

[@aflynn37]

Steve, I have this same problem. I was underneath the machine, adjusting the screw on the knee lift to get it to lift up higher - and all of a sudden the tension knob fell off! But it is as you showed Malcolm's - the inner piece is stuck in the machine, with the spring in it. I can't get it out! I see you just grabbed it with your screwdriver, but mine seems stuck tight and won't come out! Can I put the whole thing back together without removing that part? If not, how do I get it out?! Thanks...

[@Sewinggold]

Hi Amy, You have to get that part out of the machine. The slot where the check spring sticks out is a good place to wedge a slotted screw driver in and gently pry it out. If you want to wait until Monday, I can make you a video. Please email me because I do not check KZbin as often as I do my email. [e-mail]

Have you taken it apart? Which spring? Take up or tension spring?

[@ochiegruspe7012]

I have a problem with my DDL-8700, the thread tension disc won't release after pulling-up the presser foot. I tried dismantling it and test it off to the machine and it's working perfectly alright. All the parts in the assembly are complete, but I when I tried ti peek into the inside of the machine, the cam that supposed to push the bigger pin which pushes the smaller pin in turn is not doing its job. Can you help me with this problem?

Sometime it is tough to get out. If you can get a grip on it, try turning it. It will eventually come out.

Same problem

[@3AsianBoi]

Hey Steve, I just looked at mine & mine doesn’t have that spring at the end with the bar. Do you know where I can get it or what it’s called

[@Sewinggold]

If you are referring to the spring that goes behind the tension, it is not necessary. I am not sure what the exact name is and it is not in the parts manual.

[@dotpin7809]

It's called a "Thread Tension Check Spring". Mine got broken off my machine but still my machine stitches okay without it. I think it aids better in tension setting and less thread cutting off. And Thanks a lot Steve for your videos.So helpful!👍

[@3AsianBoi]

@@dotpin7809 Mine is still there but I think it does nothing for my machine. Since whenever I use the knee lift, it doesn't open up.

[@dotpin7809]

@@3AsianBoi Oh okay then maybe it hasn't been adjusted well but if it works okay then no problem. But the thread tension check spring, on industrial machines you don't really see a difference but on a manual singer machine, without it, lots of problems. And you can buy one on Aliexpress
