Key Specifications

Key Features

1. Superior Stitch Quality & Feeding

• Box Feed System: Adopts Juki's industrial technology where the feed dog moves in a box motion (instead of an oval) to prevent fabric shrinking and shifting, ensuring accurate feeding for all types of materials from lightweight to heavy .

• Powerful 7-Point Feed Dog: Made of surgical steel, it provides strong, consistent fabric feeding, easily handling thick seams like denim hems .

2. Professional Buttonholes

• 16 One-Step Styles: Create perfectly balanced, industrial-style sensor buttonholes for various fabrics and projects .

• Adjustable Cutting Width: A unique feature that allows you to adjust the width of the buttonhole cut in 3 steps without changing the stitch size, ensuring clean, fray-resistant holes for different button types .

3. Convenience & Advanced Automation

• Exclusive Advanced Thread Trimming: Trim both top and bobbin threads in three ways: by pushing a button, via a programmed automatic trim, or by rocking your heel back on the foot controller .

• Knee Lifter: Standard on the F400, this lever allows you to raise and lower the presser foot with your knee, keeping your hands free to guide fabric—essential for quilting and large projects .

• Automatic Needle Threader: Threads the needle easily with just the push of a lever .

• Quick Bobbin System: The fool-proof, drop-in bobbin case has a clearly marked threading path. The independent motor also allows you to wind a bobbin without stopping the machine .

4. Customization & Control

• Direct Pattern Selection: One-touch buttons provide instant access to 10 popular stitches. An LCD screen displays stitch settings, length, width, and recommends the correct presser foot .

• Combine, Save, and Recall: Combine decorative stitches or lettering into sequences. You can save up to 70 patterns in 10 memory folders for easy future use .

• Auto or Manual Tension: Choose between automatic thread tension or manually adjust the dial for creative stitch effects .

5. Quilting Capabilities
