JUKI Tip: Using the Needle Threader on the DX-4000QVP

by sewinwithjukiLeave a Comment on JUKI Tip: Using the Needle Threader on the DX-4000QVP

In this JUKI tip, we have JUKI Educator Kelly with JUKI America focus on the needle threader for the DX-4000QVP! This is a fabulous tool found on your DX Series machines, so let us give you the right steps to ensure that it works every time you’re ready to create.

When you thread the DX-4000QVP you’re following a numerical system. The system starts with 1 where you begin thread set up, threading your machine by the guide above the needle to number 6 where you get to the final steps to thread your needle, which are 7 and 8. This part is simple! Follow the number system as you thread your machine from top to bottom.

At Step 7 you’ll put the thread in the needle threader! Watch as we pop the thread in there, and push the needle threader lever down. This will deliver the thread through the eye of the needle and then you simply just pull the loop to the back. After your needle has been threaded, the thread cutter is number 8. Here you trim your thread by pulling the thread piece back and cutting, and you’ll be all set to begin sewing!

It’s that easy! Thank you so much for joining us today for another tip from JUKI.

JUKI Tip: Using the Needle Threader On Your MO Series

by sewinwithjuki1 Comment on JUKI Tip: Using the Needle Threader On Your MO Series

For this month’s JUKI tip, we go over how to use the automatic needle threader that can be found on select serger machines in our MO Series! Creating an easier sewing experience for you, this feature is perfect for getting your machine ready to create, without the hassle.

Follow along below as our National Account Trainer Alba showcases how to thread your automatic needle threader.

The needle threader on the Serger from JUKI is a mechanism that has a lever that goes right and left, whether you’re choosing to thread the right or left needle, before being pushed down to cover the needle in front of the eye.

As you watch the video, you’ll notice how our JUKI National Account Trinaer Alba moves the mechanism to the right-hand position, turning the hand wheel towards herself until the needles reach the highest possible position.

Ensuring the lever is set for the right-hand needle, we’re going to lower the self-threading lever, until it comes right around the needle. Here is where you’ll notice how the mechanism just hugs that needle, giving you the perfect spot to place your thread. Now, remember, for the best experience ensure your thread is not taut, and instead loose. This way the machine is able to thread your needle, without tugging.

Now, as you raise up the needle threader, as shown in the video, you’ll notice how it forms a loop that you can carefully pull through the eye of the needle, completing the threading of your needle. Pull the thread behind, and you’re all set on the right-hand needle!

For the left needle, we’ll position our needle threader for the left-hand position, before lowering the mechanism where it will hug your needle. Next, we recommend using two hands to place that thread in the groove of the needle threader; this will be right at the eye of the needle.

As you raise your needle threader mechanism, you’ll notice the loop form once again, before pulling the thread completely through and towards the back of the machine.

We hope this helps you the next time you want to use the automatic needle threader on your serger machine! What tip do you want to see next from JUKI? Let us know in the comments below!
