In this month’s tip, JUKI National Account Trainer Kelly showcases how to use the JUKI Smoot Foot, an accessory available on both the TL series and the DX series, which allows you to create with fun fabrics like vinyl, leather, suede, and more!
Follow along below for a rundown of what Kelly covers on today’s JUKI Tip!
Hi, I’m Kelly with JUKI America, and on today’s tip if you like to sew on a variety of fabrics and get a professional finish every time, invest in the JUKI smooth foot. The JUKI smooth foot is white on the bottom because it’s made out of resin material that’ll enable a smooth feed for fabrics like leather, cork, and vinyl! I love to make bags on my JUKI Haruka, but recently I chose to make a leather tote bag from an old long leather coat I had, and I realized quickly that I needed the smooth foot to get a superior feed for that type of fabric. Watch above as we demonstrate!
With my stitch length set at three and a half, the leather does not want to move through the machine with the standard presser foot. Let me change to the smooth foot and show you the difference.
The only change I made was to put on the smoked foot, and you can see now top stitching this leather is easy.
Take a look at the beautiful stitch quality on the leather!
Topstitching is made easy on leather with this wonderful smooth foot.
It also sews beautifully on the cork!
The smooth foot is available for the TL series and our computerized sewing machines. You can go to JUKIHome.com and then select accessories to find the smooth foot that’ll work with your machine. You can visit your local JUKI retailer to purchase the smooth foot for your JUKI. Have fun with your JUKI making bags with all kinds of fabrics, with your smooth foot by JUKI!
