Zoje Heavy Duty Industrial Sewing Machine - Model ZJ0303L Shuffle Foot (Walking Foot) Overview

This video covers the basic operation of the Zoje ZJ0303L shuffle foot heavy duty sewing machine.
I cover things like stitch length adjustment, reversing, lubrication, threading and sewing.
Also explained is the differences between the manual and automatic versions of this machine. The differences between a shuffle foot and a walking foot are explained.
The threading shown is not exactly as per the manual but it works with the thread I'm using for the demonstration. Sometimes threading through the extra holes introduces too much pre-tension.

Hola buenos dias, he conseguido una maquina igual a esta de segunda mano, pero me ha venido sin el manual de instrucciones . He intentado en los distribuidores pero no lo consigo. ¿Habría posibilidad de que me pudiese ayudar? Gracias.

Hi there Thank you so much for this video. I ordered a Texi walker a few days ago and it seems to be nearly identical with this Zoje ZJ... I´m very happy having discovered your video because there is very less information about the Texi walker to be found in the web. Best regards from Germany Paul

[@adribrumer6507]

Very good! Thank you so much for your "class".

[@louisejeffries7155]

So helpful thank you I’ve had my machine near two years I used it a lot when new but don’t use it often being new to industrial sewing and depending and understanding more on domestic machines I learnt a lot from this video Really really helpful - thank you

[@donnygrice]

Thank you so much for this video. I had a zoje delivered today and found this video so informative.

[@michellemcguire3412]

I have just bought this machine and it is my first industrial., so I am a little nervous. This video is very helpful and detailed. I love how you give us clear close ups of the various parts as you are explaining them. Even better you are NZ, so I have subscribed. Because I will have access to things you refer too in other videos. Thank you.

[@michelleapril]

Thanks for this video, very helpful.

Top instruction. Thanks a lot.

Hi, My single stitch button isn't working..do you know what settings in the control panel I need to have to get it working again?

[@keziah9720]

Can you do a tutorial on how to use the ZOJE ZJ9513-G/02 please?

[@hananehanene6605]

Merci beaucoup

Beautiful sewing machine ❤

[@Suz-anne]

Hi, thank you. Could you please tell me which needle size you're using with the NM 20 thread? Thank you.

[@FaroukKhbaz-ht8zb]

السلام عليكم ان هذا الفيديو أفادني كثيرا ، لأني مؤخرا اشتريت مثل هذه الماكينة ، ولكن هل يمكنك افادتي أكثر فيما يخص الخيط المخصص لهذه الماكينة ؟؟؟ في الأخير أقول لك بارك الله فيك

[@foxiecolor2415]

Hello, I would like to buy this machine, it will be my first industrial machine. Can we use conventional size sewing thread as on household machines?

[@donnygrice]

hi, thank you for sharing this video. I have just bought this machine and I love it. The only problem i have is the presser foot height. Its not high enough only reaching about 10mm. How do I make it higher? I'm scared of breaking the machine. TIA. Donnella

[@teufelinteufelin5811]

hello, what yarn count do you use on the machine

[@sabo55]

Reckon it could handle 6 layers of sail cloth dacron medium weight I would say as a guess?

[@thetuba6948]

You show a manual for the control box. where is this available. I couldnt find one and I diodnt receive one with my machine.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Have you tried under downloads on the Zoje site? There’s a video on YT if you search Zoje Control Box that shows you where they are, or you can take screenshots from this video :)

[@dimigio1]

Thank you for the explain .... but can you tell me what ist better the Suffle foot or the Full Walking foot Sewing mashine, or what from this both mashines ist better for what... Thank you very much from Athens - Greece

[@InStitches]

Hi. The full compound walking foot is a better type of feeding mechanism but it depends on what you're looking at sewing. Thanks.

How to fix e-5 this machine..???

[@amelianunes8483]

I need to by these

[@nikithorne7927]

what is the role of the automated footlift which can be added to this machine? also is it possible to do a double needle on this machine?

[@InStitches]

Hi. An auto foot lifter is put on machines so that you don't have to manually lift the foot with the knee lever. This is single needle only but there are twin needle machines available. Thanks.

[@nikithorne7927]

@@InStitches Thanks so much. I am looking at one of these or a compound foot global wf3955 for leather work. Do you have any review insight on either?

[@MarinaRijpma]

thank for your video .I have a question about winding a bobbing, during winding a bobbin is the needle moving up and down?

[@InStitches]

Yes, the idea is to wind a bobbin while you're sewing so there's always a bobbin available to use. Thanks.

[@MarinaRijpma]

Thank you

As far as I know, it's made in China.

[@praveenchettali]

Sir. please program pdf. Error code pdf send 🙏

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Sorry, just a friendly note.....You’ve actually slightly threaded it wrong at that second 2-hole hook (The first 3-hole one on top is correct in your video, it IS only supposed to go through those 2 holes the way you have it) But that second 2-hole loop at 7:24...as per the manual, it is supposed to come in from the back of the top hole and wrap around to come back in again through the back of the bottom hole before going into that small pre-tensioner top disk. (As per #3 on Figure 11, page 8 of the Manual) Love my Zoje 0303, had it since Oct 2017 🤗

[@InStitches]

Thanks. I found that with the thread I was using, threading through the pre-tensioner put too much tension on the thread I was using. I should have threaded it correctly for the video's sake though. Cheers.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

[@ulitambunan5881]

Can your walking foot sewing machine be used for free motion quilting?

[@cazkiwinz4300]

I HAVE done a little plain line quilting with mine, just 1-2 layers batting or 1 batting/1 Insulbrite and 2 fabric, for like oven mitts etc, but it is a medium/heavy fabric/vinyl shuffle/walking foot industrial machine not a plainsewer industrial machine and straight lockstitch only, no zig zag....and not made for freemotion as such by dropping the feeddogs. I actually freemotion with my cheaper Brother or Bernina machine, this Zoje is for my bagmaking/vinyl :)

[@Teatime-mq6bv]

@@cazkiwinz4300 nice to read you again… You see, I am really interested in this machine! Btw, I also own a Bernina for quilting (but it really was not cheaper🤔) and I love it. But, as everybody knows, one need another one for bag making…
