The Juki HZL-DX7 is a pretty amazing machine, and it offers SO much! Tons of admirable features but I want to share THREE things that are super important to know about your Juki HZL-DX7 machine.
P.S. This applies to the JUKI HZL-DX5/DX7/DX2000 machines! Curious about these models? Check out our comparison video on YouTube: CLICK HERE ☺️
Did You Know…
- This little lint brush should be here! It’s actually the only lint that SHOULD live in your Juki HZL-DX7 .
Do not pluck at it, or take it out! Keep it there. IF you happen to remove it, it’s not the end of the world. But, it does play a big role in ensuring the thread slides smoothly when you are using the thread cutter.
With each cut, it glides through the little brush to prevent bunching before the new stitch out. If you have lost yours, you may notice MORE thread bunching underneath at the start of a sew out. You cannot replace this lint brush BUT you can bring up your bobbin thread to the top before sewing to avoid any bunching.
Did You Know…
- The foot can be programmed! You have up to 7 different functions to choose from. And if you don’t want it to do anything at all, that’s an option too.
Lets go over the options real quick!
| Option # | What it does: |
| 1 | Reverse Stitch |
| 2 | Lock Stitch |
| 3 | Needle Up & Down |
| 4 | Single Stitch |
| 5 | Presser Foot Up or Down |
| 6 | Thread Cutter |
| 7 | Turn Off the Heel Function on the Pedal |
Did You Know…
