The HZL-HT710 offers 60 stitch patterns, ideal for basic to decorative stitching, and features an automatic thread trimmer that saves time with just the push of a button. The HZL-HT740 builds on this with an expanded selection of features, giving you additional flexibility for more advanced or varied sewing tasks—all while remaining light and travel-ready.
Both machines include a built-in automatic needle threader, ensuring quick and frustration-free setup no matter where you’re working. Whether you’re at a pop-up sewing event, a weekend workshop, or just sewing in a small space, these machines help you stay focused on your creativity.
Features That Travel Well
The HZL-HT710 and HZL-HT740 are packed with features that make sewing on the go a breeze:
- Automatic Thread Trimming: Trim both upper and lower threads with one touch
- Built-in Needle Threader: Skip the squinting and get sewing faster
- Speed Control Slider: Adjust sewing speed to match your comfort and project needs
- Start/Stop Button: Sew without a foot pedal—perfect for tight or mobile setups
- Bright LED Lighting: Clear visibility, even in dim environments
- Free Arm Sewing: Tackle sleeves, cuffs, and smaller projects with ease
And to make traveling with your machine even easier, pair it with the JUKI Wheeled Trolley Bag! Designed for both convenience and protection, this durable bag accommodates even large sewing machines like the Sayaka DX-3000QVP and Kokochi DX-4000QVP, making it a perfect fit for the more compact HT710 and HT740 models.
You’ll also find a front pocket for quick-access accessories and two interior mesh wall pockets to organize your foot pedal, power cord, tools, and fabrics. Machines can be easily stored through the top or front loading options, depending on your workspace and preferences. With dimensions of 23″ W x 16″ H x 12.5″ D, this trolley is built for both functionality and comfort while in transit.
Tips for Traveling with Your Sewing Machine
To keep your machine safe and ready to use, here are JUKI-approved travel tips:
- Use a Wheeled Trolley Bag: Invest in a quality, padded trolley bag like the JUKI Trolley to protect your machine from bumps and make transportation easier.
- Secure Moving Parts: Before you travel, remove any detachable accessories (like the presser foot or extension table) and store them in the bag’s interior pockets to prevent damage.
- Use a Dust Cover or Fabric Wrap: If you’re not using a trolley, wrap your machine in a soft cloth or cover to protect the surface from scratches during transit.
- Carry Essential Tools Separately: Keep bobbins, needles, thread, and small tools in a separate pouch to avoid clutter and make setup quick once you arrive.
- Plan for Power: Bring your machine’s power cord and foot pedal, and check that your destination has the appropriate outlets and table space.
- Label Your Machine: If you’re attending a group event or workshop, place a tag with your name and contact info on your machine and accessories to avoid mix-ups.
With the right prep and the right gear, traveling with your sewing machine can be just as enjoyable as sewing at home, and maybe even more inspiring!
