Review: Great seller - Good machine great seller
Review: I recommend this as a home machine! - We've now had this machine for a year and a few months... I was a parachute rigger in the Army for 3 years and one of our many jobs was repairing parachutes using 'light duty' machines that are similar to this one. We had Brothers, Consew, and Singer machines and all were basically the same duty and purpose as this one. Between all of those machines, I prefer the Juki that I ordered here. I realize that the ones we used in the Army were a decade old or more but even after adjusting/repairing our old machines, they never ran as smooth as this one does. Now, if you are wanting a machine that does zig-zag stitches or anything else besides a great straight stitch, this is not the machine for you. This is a straight stitch only but let me tell you... It is probably the greatest straight stitch that you could get. If you use one at home for things like quilting or other projects that only require straight stitches, you will never go back to your little home machine again. I have been used to using industrial machines for a while now so I was not leery of it a bit but my wife was. I turned the motor down for her (another great advantage of a servo motor) and she got used to it very quickly. She hates using the old plastic singer machine now. This one is just so solid. If you've got any questions about the machine just post them like normal on this page and I'll continue to answer them the best that I can but please read the questions that have been posted so far like "Where is it made..".

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Include table?**
A: Yes. This one comes with the table, small drawer, thread stand, and very quiet servo motor.

**Q: What is the difference between DDL-5550 and the DDL-8700?**
A: Hello, Ms. Donna.  I had the same question before I ordered the DDL-5550.  To find the answer, I wrote an email to Juki America Inc.  Here was the response (just so you can hear it from the 'horses mouth'),"That is correct, the DDL8700 is made is China and the DDL5550N is made inJapan. That is basically the only difference in the machine."Regards,Janet M. MaganaAsst. Sales Manager - North AmericaIndustrial & Home Sewing DivisionJuki America, Inc.So, the question I asked myself was, if there is such a price difference, will there be a quality difference?  I went with the 5550 and have not regretted it.  I have used Chinese made machines in the Army to repair parachutes and, maybe we just had some bad ones but, I was constantly adjusting them.  I've not had to touch this one yet with a screw driver.  Just turn down the servo motor (if you're not used to a machine like this) and take it easy.  After using this, many folks don't go back to regular home machines.

**Q: Do the feed dogs lower for free motion quilting?**
A: It CAN be done.  You have to tilt the machine away from you to access the screw for the feed dogs.  Loosen it, and they will drop down then tighten the screw.  The only problem is, when you want to put them back up, you can't just set them as high as they will go.  The valley of the teeth should be level with the top of the needle plate in the up stroke.So, Joyce was right that it is a no frills machine, but it can be done.  Just not recommended unless you've worked on these machines some before.

**Q: Do you need to purchase industrial thread?**
A: You don't have to use industrial thread.  We've ran plain old Coates And Clarkes dual purpose thread through it.  You just need to set the tension differently.  Thread thickness should ideally be based on needle size though and needle size should be based loosely on fabric type and thickness and desired appearance.  So, a size 16-18 needle should probably use around size 69 thread.  Size 14-16 needles (which I think this machine comes with) should use around size 33 thread.  I simply find it easier to use industrial thread due to it being a standardized size and strength where the normal home machine thread is not really.  But yes, you CAN use just about any thread you like.  You may just have some feeding and locking issues if it's too thin.  A great resource for industrial thread and information about that thread is The Thread Exchange.  Just do an internet search.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Missing part
*by J***N on August 28, 2018*

This is the 2nd time we have ordered these machines. The first time the 2 that we ordered were great. This time one of the machines was missing the needle thread guide pin. It is worth purchasing the part instead of sending the whole machine back but for the price we would want a complete package.
