Having the right sewing machine is half the battle—the other half is having the right accessories. Lucky for you, we’ve got a treasure trove of Juki parts and extras that can make even the most complicated sewing tasks feel like a walk in the park.
Juki Walking Foot
Ever try to sew a thick fabric only to have the layers shift halfway through? Frustrating, right? The Juki Walking Foot eliminates that problem. By evenly feeding all the layers of fabric through the machine, it keeps your stitches straight and your sanity intact.
Expert Tip: If you’re quilting or working with multiple layers, don’t even think about skipping the walking foot. Your future self (and your perfectly straight stitches) will thank you.
Juki Buttonhole Presser Foot
Buttonholes are possibly everyone’s least favourite part of garment construction. But with the Juki Buttonhole Foot, you’ll be cranking out professional-looking buttonholes with minimal effort. No more wonky edges or uneven stitches; this foot takes care of the hard part.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Juki Machine
To keep your Juki machine running like a dream, a little maintenance and a few insider tips can go a long way. Here’s how to keep things smooth and stress-free:
Clean and Oil Regularly
Even the best machines need a little TLC. Make sure you’re regularly cleaning the bobbin area and oiling the machine as recommended in the manual. It’s the sewing machine equivalent of getting a regular service for your car—skip it, and you’ll regret it later.
Adjust Tension for Different Fabrics
Every fabric is different, and if your tension isn’t set correctly, you’ll end up with puckered seams or loose stitches. Before starting any new project, do a quick test on a scrap of fabric to adjust the tension accordingly. It’s a small step that’ll save you big headaches down the road.
Get Comfortable with the Presser Feet
Juki machines come with a variety of presser feet, each designed for different purposes. Don’t be afraid to switch them out depending on the task at hand—whether it’s for zippers, buttonholes, or blind hems, the right foot will make your sewing faster and more precise.
