Key Features
Industrial-Grade Technology for Superior Stitch Quality


BOX Feed System: Juki's exclusive industrial "BOX Feed" technology is incorporated into this home machine. The 7-piece feed dog moves in a precise rectangular motion, staying in contact with the fabric longer for consistent, reliable feeding on all fabric types . It effortlessly handles thick denim layers, prevents fabric shrinkage on lightweight cottons, and evenly feeds high-pile fabrics like towels .


Straight Stitch Slide Plate [NEW]: A simple slide lever on the front converts the standard needle plate to a straight stitch needle plate with a single, small needle hole. This prevents delicate fabrics from being pushed down into the needle hole during straight stitching and free-motion work. As a safety feature, only straight stitch patterns can be selected when this plate is engaged .


Buttonhole Sensor System: Combining Juki's industrial heritage with modern technology, the sensor system automatically measures the button and optimally feeds the fabric to create perfectly balanced, beautiful one-step buttonholes. The cutting width of the buttonhole can be adjusted in three steps, and 16 built-in styles are available for various applications .


Innovative Automated Functions for Effortless Sewing


Presser Foot Pivot Function [NEW]: When you stop sewing, the needle automatically stops in the down position, and the presser foot lifts slightly. This allows you to easily pivot the fabric around the needle for sharp corners and curves. When sewing resumes, the foot automatically lowers for continuous, smooth stitching .


Float Function [NEW]: By pressing the float button, you can sew with the presser foot slightly raised (in adjustable 0.1mm increments). This prevents the foot from pushing down on thick or multiple layers, eliminating uneven seams and fabric shifting, especially on projects like quilts and bulky seams .


Heel-Down Foot Control Functions: The included foot controller is programmable. By pressing your heel down, you can activate functions such as thread trimming, presser foot lift, reverse stitch, or single stitch sewing. This allows you to keep your hands on your project for greater efficiency and control .


Auto-Lock Stitch & Thread Trimming: With the push of a button or a press of your heel, you can sew a perfect lock stitch (choose between reverse stitch or reinforcement stitch) and automatically trim both the top and bobbin threads. The presser foot then lifts automatically for quick fabric removal .


User-Friendly Operation & Customization


Easy-to-Use Quick Select Buttons: Frequently used functions like Start/Stop, Reverse Stitch, Lock Stitch, Thread Trimming, Needle Up/Down, and Presser Foot Lift are located conveniently for quick access .


Adjustable Starting/Reverse Stitch Speed: You can customize the starting and reverse stitch speed by selecting from three settings: fast, normal, or slow, giving you greater control based on your project .


Low-Speed Inching Sewing: By pressing and holding the needle up/down button, you can sew at a very slow speed, perfect for precise cornering and detailed work .


Knee-Lifting Lever: The included knee lifter allows for hands-free raising and lowering of the presser foot up to 12mm, offering excellent control for quilting and managing bulky layers .


Stitch Adjustment Dials: Intuitive dials allow for easy adjustment of stitch width and length, with numerical values displayed on the LCD. You can even make fine adjustments while sewing zigzag stitches .


Creative Freedom & Convenience


287 Stitch Patterns & 4 Fonts: A vast library includes utility stitches, stretch stitches, overlock stitches, decorative patterns, quilting stitches, and four different alphabets for monogramming and personalization. Frequently used stitch combinations can be saved in memory .


Large Sewing Space: An included large extension table provides a spacious work area (up to approx. 16" when combined with the machine bed), offering excellent support for large quilts and home decor projects .


Quick Preparation Features: The automatic needle threader makes threading a breeze. An independent motor allows you to wind a bobbin at any time without interrupting sewing, and the quick-set bobbin system means you can start sewing without manually pulling up the bobbin thread .


Free-Motion Capability: Easily drop the feed dogs with a simple switch to engage free-motion quilting and darning. Both straight stitch and specialized zigzag options are available for free-motion work .
