This was a great review of this machine. Better than most reviews, thank you for taking your time to explain everything . I'm going to look at the other models also. Which I diden't know they existed so thank you for that

Loved the video. I just bought this machine, but haven’t received it yet. I haven’t seen in over 15 years. I’m really excited to start again with some fancy new equipment. Thanks for posting!

You did an awesome job Lisa. Thank you. I have one and love it. Love your haircut!

Thanks, Lisa, so much for reviewing the Juki F-600. I really appreciate and respect your opinion. I have a Brother se400 right now and want to upgrade to the F-600 real soon. You have helped me so much with different projects from my first tshirt quilt to a fleece lined panel blanket. I couldn't have finished either project without your advise and sweet, loving voice giving me the confidence I needed to succeed. I was flattered to have my name mentioned on your video as well as written in print. You are so sweet. Thanks again for everything. Will be listening for years to come. Hugs, Kathryn

What a great review. I have certain criteria, too, for a machine: needle down, bright light, auto-cutter, detachable piece to sew cuffs, etc, and adjustable presser foot weight. This looks like a great machine.

thank you. I've had my F600 machine for a while and ran across this video. I do garments and it's funny how we forget some of the things it can do. Love the video. One day I want to start quilting. 😊😊

Thank you for your review of this machine! After reviewing other machines (top machines for 2020), I have settled on this one and can't wait to get one! Since being introduced to you (via this video), I've joined the Creative Crew (and I'm not a fan of FB or social media!) and watched the Jennifer Allwood video you referred us to. I feel God is preparing me for "something" and has directed me here to you all! Thank you again for your encouragement!

I love the fact that you actually read and respond to questions that come up. VERY important. A lot of people don't. Love the review. Just ordered one. I have learned a lot, but I'm still a beginner. I appreciate the honesty.

I have the same machine and I absolutely love it. Congratulations on your new machine.

I have this one as well as an MO-1000 serger, and I love love love them! I also highly recommend both of these machines!

I, too, purchased my F600 on December 1, 2018 and I love it so much! It's by far the best purchase I've made in a very long time. I never dreamed that I would love sewing as much as I do on this machine! When I was researching machines, I had a list of things that I wanted and this one had more things than I needed, but thought at least it would give me something new to try. I've used so many of those 'extras'! I can't recommend it enough!!

Hi Lisa! Enjoyed your video. I just purchased this Juki. Excited to receive it and get sewing. Enjoying the Medallion Quilt Along. First time doing applique. Thank you so much.

I have this machine too and am absolutely loving it!

Great video. Recently purchased this machine and although still learning, love the F600. Will continue to watch your videos, great explanation on so many things. Thank you!

congratulations on your new sewing machine! enjoy!!!!

I love my F600. This machine sold me on Juki. I end up purchasing a Juki Serger, MO623. I love them both. Thanks for the tips.

Thank you for the great coverage of this machine…

Super review. I bought this one also and I’m very happy. 🤗🤗

Hi Lisa! I just found you on YT! I have had my Juki HZL F600 for about a month now. I have only used it to sew together a table runner and am now ready to quilt. I have been a hand quilter for life, but have not done any for about 15 years now. Hence, I purchased this machine for machine quilting to put out faster production. I, like you and another of your viewers, feel I am being called to something in this journey from ABBA, so here we go. I donated my last machine (BabyLock sewing/embroidery machine) to the Boys and Girls club, as they have just started a new chapter there teaching their boys and girls how to sew! Such a beautiful thing! I am no seamstress for certain. I love putting together quilts, table runners, lap covers, Japanese yarn bags, etc. I tried sewing clothing in 1973 (Home Ec class) and failed miserably. HAHAHA. I am eager to get started on the quilting aspect with my new JEWEL! Praying He gives me beautiful skills in this journey. Blessings to you and Maranatha!! Sharri

I love your Juki machine Lisa ! enjoy it

Video just started and I already like it.

I’m excited to know you love your new machine! It makes sewing even more enjoyable. I just got my machine back from spending 2 weeks at the spa getting tuned up cleaned etc. lol!

I've been having my eye on this machine for quite some time. I read some not very nice reviews about it and the customer service of some of the companies that offer them, and I held back. Your review has renewed my desire to own one and encouraged me to purchase it. A review this good gave me the last push I needed. I heard good comments about the company that you purchased your machine from, and I will buy from them. I'll make sure to mention your review when I go there. (I live a short drivable distance from them). Enjoy your machine. You sound very happy with it. I even smiled a couple of times while watching your review. 😁

Hi Lisa, I have had my machine for 9 years and I love it, I did alterations for 20 years, and it does take a little adjustment with a new machine, I still have trouble with my button holes, have to get the book out each time!!! but as for sewing just love it, great area with lighting, you have made a great choice!, I have even learnt something from you with the 1/4 seam button!!! TFS, Cheers Anna.

Great demonstration, Lisa. Sooooooo . . . , Cary Grant was a favorite actor of mine and the minute you said you hadn't yet named your machine, I immediately thought "Judy, Judy, Juki" LOL . . . just a thought. Have a blessed day and thank you for ALL you do for your devoted fans.

That's cool you mentioned crafty gemini's channel. I literally just mentioned to my friend about her sewing through 8 layers of denim. Last night i ordered an f400 to replace my singer heavy duty. I already have a juki serger so i know there's quality there. I'm not a quilter but i do like all the options that eliminate some of the annoyances of my first machine. I often break needles on semi thick seams and have knocked it out of timing. (easy to fix though) after seeing her do the denim test i was sold

Thank you so much Lisa

Thank you for your detailed review of this amazing sewing machine. I thought it was a "class act" for you to mention the CraftyGemini's tutorial review of this machine and suggesting your viewers watch it in case anything was left out. Again, class act. Between the both of yours & CraftyGemini's videos, (there were/are similarities, but also two different perspectives- both valuable), I purchased this machine today. 😀 * As impressive as I initially thought the pedal thread cutter was, I was concerned about cutting the thread accidentally until learning here that I can turn that feature off. So thank you again.

Hi Lisa ~ Lovely machine! I was quite impressed when at the end when you sewed on that strip of fabric. You were not guiding it and the fabric fed through straight without you having to guide it! A name ~ how about Jewel or Jool or Jule? When I read your descriptor comment and saw HZL, I automatically thought - Hazel. Have fun!

Great review Lisa! Thank you. I follow the crafty Gemini and saw her review of this machine which totally sold me. Just got mine the other day and am setting it up this weekend. Happy sewing!

I love that machine. I got mine a little over a year ago from Sewing Machines Plus.

I have also had my Juki for a little over a year. The more I use her the more I love her! I also turned the thread cutter on the foot pedal off for the exact reason and I doubt I’ll ever turn it back on. I learned something new from your review that I’m thrilled about and that is use the #2 for the 1/4 seam, didn’t know and was a little curious about the difference was between the #1 and #2 option! You never stop learning😁👍🏼

Hi Lisa those guides are great for rag quilts

Great tutorials! Thank you and this helped me a lot as I do have this machine haven’t used it yet for quilting after your review certainly I’m going to try yaaayy thx

Love this machine. I have done about 9 quilts and toddler clothes. I am going to get it cleaned and adjusted. The button hole foot is great , they turn out wonderful. I bought a ruler foot. I love to quilt with it.

Congratulations! Happy sewing on the new machine.

Just bought hope you still like looks looks a great got it do to auto cut

I like your new sewing machine , so happy for you Lise. You deserve it ! If i ever get a new sewing machine i think it would be a Judi . So many on KZfaq have them. What kind was your old one or the one you was using?

I agree with Ivette Ramos' comment. Get your computerized equipment on surge suppressors/protected power supplies! I thought my rec room was safe, but my sensitive computerized sewing machine got fried one day after months of using it in the same spot. No storm, no construction, nothing. Just one day it got fried. And a few thousand dollars down the drain. The replacement motherboard that got fried was almost as expensive as a new machine, so I gave it to a friend to use it for spare parts.

Are you able to do an update review on the machine? I love my Juki TL2010 and would like a small machine for buttonholes. If not, do you still recommend it?

Hi Lisa. I have a suggestion for you, plug in your machine in the surge adapter this protect your machine for the low and high voltage irregulations. My first machine I connected directly on the wall and with the irregulation of the energy my machine was burned. I hope you understand my English. Sorry.

My Bernette Serger (early 90's) is still going strong. I also have a Juki Coverstitch. My sewing machines are Bernina 910 and a new Bernina B530 (I think I got that from Sewing Machines Plus too...when the model was closing out). The trouble is that I have only 7.5" of throat space. I will never be a good enough quilter to justify getting a long arm or an expensive sit down machine, so I started looking at domestics with more throat space. I bought a used Juki Kirei which has 12 inches of space. I feel like I've died and gone to heaven. Still getting used to it. It is feature rich to be sure. I am having to get used to the "big honking profile" of the throat plate. They should engineer that better, because it is very noticeable when you are feeding a quilt, even with a glide. But the thread cutter and even feed on that machine is a joy. And I don't care even I straight lined every quilt that I make until the day that I die. But I'm trying to get used to FMQ on this machine (having gotten used to the BSR non the Bernina). You have to pay thousands more to get the same features in some of the other machines. It did not feel like it had the same build quality as the newer coverstitch, though. But I'm happy with my good value and IMMENSE features.

Hi Lisa, I was just wondering if you could use your Juki also as an longarm machine. I have seen that some have that feature but didn't know if this one did.

Hello! I enjoyed your review of this Juki machine. Thanks for taking the time to show us all the features! I have 2 questions: ~What is the HEIGHT of the throat area? ~Can 2 spools of thread be used in this machine at the same time? Thanks much!

I am ashamed to say mine is 3 and a half years old!!! I bought it in Feb 2016 - a gift of my husband as I was going into hospital for a knee replacement...ever since I keep using my old faithful which is now about 45 years old! Anyway, I am 60 next week, so I have set myself the task of getting to use it. It really is a lovely machine isn't it? Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful review of your machine. I currently have a Baby Lock Ellure Plus which I love for normal sewing. However it does not have enough harp space for quilting. In your opinion would the Juki have sufficient harp space to quilt a queen size quilt with a medium/high loft batting? Thank you!!

Hey Lisa Great review 🤩🥰 thinking of buying me the Juki but the F300 the F600 is too steep for my pocket but she is a beauty question by any chance does it have a port for a USB?

What is the largest size quilt you have completed on this machine? Do you think it would work for king size? I want to be able to fully complete my own quilts and am looking for a reasonably priced machine to do so. Thank you!

Have been looking in to this model and really like it. What is your experience with stretchy or thin materials?

I have been researching machines and I loved your review. I almost ordered the Babylock Brilliant which I’m sure is a great machine but I keep hesitating. When I saw your interview I really loved this machine. The next day my machine broke and I ordered this one from amazon. Got it yesterday and its everything I could ever hope for. Not only that but its beautiful too! I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Now I’m in the market for a serger. Is there any you recommend? Thank you for such a great review.

Hey Lisa! Where did you purchase this sewing machine?

Hi I am really confused I was interested in K85 juki but some reviews made me upset... Now after watching ur vedio I am thinking of this machine.. Please suggest me dear.. M waiting

It was fun to see someone else’s perspective on the same machine. I haven’t found many true cons either. The thing that pesters me though is that there is a lip where the bobbin area starts. My seams aren’t always going in the same direction so several seams would get flipped. I fixed it by adding a piece of painters tape. No the fabric and seams just glide right through. I turned off the foot pedal cutter too. I plan on turning It back on when I’m sewing scraps to the calculator tape. I think the cutter and the knee lift will make that type of scrap sewing a bit quicker and easier. I don’t usually name anything. I tend to just call It My Juki. My last machine was a Brother and It didn’t work to call It my Brother 😉. I like the name Juki. 🤷‍♀️

I bought mine some years ago, my only gripe would be the lack of a quilting bar for the even feed / walking foot.

Hey Lisa thank for the review, do they ship overseas? I would love one

Hello Lisa I'm rewatching this video that you provided and on the button you pushed to sew 1/4" inch seam automatically. I saw the numbers 1 2 3 My question is the number 3 on that button is it a stitch selector to sew an automatic 3/8" of an inch seam? I really hope so if you could let me know that would be great

I bought mine from the same place you did. I turned the thread cutter off on the foot peddle.

Hi! How are you liking it after a year?

Lisa thank you for this great review. I'm wondering if this machine has a place on the back of the machine. Two holes where a thread holder juki, for cone thread can be attached and used. Rather than a thread stand for cone thread ? I saw on Amazon where you can purchase this holder for juki HZL DX models ? I think ?

Just purchased this machine. I think I'm going to love it. I do have a question. The machine came with a second horizontal spool holder. Do you know if anyone makes a vertical holder that would fit the (looks to be a 3/8") hole on top of the machine?

I love this machine too bought it because of all the features and feet . I have been using the move the needle feature for 1/4 “ quilting - you just showed me a better way thank you ! My issue is thread bunching at the start of any project - I have tried retreading , new bobbin , tension adjusting but it still happens and has since the first day of use - my solution is to use a starter piece then cut it off but it is a pain - any suggestions would be appreciated?

Hi Lisa lovely tutorial. I'm wondering if this machine is fussy about thread?

Hello Lisa, what store did you mention we should check out for comparison?

Thank you so much for the review. I am curious how you now feel about the machine having it for 3 years now?

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have the same machine and I love it. Can you please show how to sew t-shirt fabrics on this machine? I’m very unsure of sewing t-shirt fabric and so haven’t yet tried. Thanks

hello great video please kindly film how to operate the juki sewing machine electric foot pedal and how to use the start stop button please ok ? thank you very much.

Hi there...I just got the HZL F300 Juki and it is for garmet sewing and I like it thus far, but was wondering if you could help me with moving the needle from right to left. I looked at the manual and it said to move the plus or minus side of the zig zag area? I may be confused with that.

Hello Lisa, I am on the process of making T-shirt comforter for my daughter. Love your video’s! I have an old singer and wanted to get a new sewing machine .

@lisa capen quilts I liked your review. I also watched the one on the Crafty Gemini channel. I went to Amazon to check out the reviews and there were a few bad reviews, like always on any product. I wanted to check with you now that you have had your machine for a couple of yrs, are you still happy with it? Is it your main sewing machine? Thanks

Other machines recommend 60 wt thread in the bobbin. Does it matter on this machine? I use 50 wt on top and 60 wt in the bobbin for my brother PQ1500 🤷‍♀️

I have the HZL 600 JUKI and cannot figure out how to program the memory. I end up resetting my stitch options again and again. For instance, i often use the zigzag function at 7 mm wide and stitch length of .07. I have to reset continually. Can you give me a hint on how to program memory for that stitch combination?

I have a singer embroidery machine and it has an automatic threader and I can't figure out how to use it. Does it have 3 speeds on it?

I have tried sewing a very thick material and the tension is out. I now have to use the tension on +3 to sew a proper stitch. I need to know how to get it back to the auto setting. Please help!

Lisa, which letter foot is the stitch in the ditch?

Yes, I went for the large throat size too!

Hello. I'm wondering if you have had any issues develop after using it for some time. Thank you for sharing.

Does it come with the straight stitch needle plate ?

Hi, how do you compare this toJuki DX 7? I’m debating between the two

Is the needle default to up when you stop sewing ?

Looking for a machine to replace my 39 year old Kenmore. It is still a workhorse for heavy duty fabrics but it is starting to have some issues which even a spa visit didn't seem to help. I like that this has a free arm like my Kenmore. I have two brother sewing/embroidery machines but they just are not the same as older all metal machines.

Is the length left after cutting adjustable?

i need some help im getting bird nesting on the bottom how can i fix it i have only had it for two weeks and im lost please help me

This machine is price for Bangladesh please Answer my question.

How does it do with thick layers?

What kind of thread stand do you use?

Is this suitable for newbies?

Hello! I have a question about your thread cone/holder. Did that come with the machine? I have this machine and I’m interested in using a thread cone and I actually came on KZfaq today trying to see if a cone can be used on the machine!

What is the price

Why didn't you show how to thread the machine?

If you start sewing slowly the thread will not come out of the needle. The thread cutter saves you at least 25% of the thread on a reel 👍

Juki HZL F600 price plz mam

I thinking to buy juki portable machine but now i get confused between f600 or dx7. I was thinking that auto foot lift on dx7 is not big deal because the f600 have knee lifter like dx7 too. But what do u think? Really need your opinion before burn my money, currently i using industry machine but i want something portables

I just purchased this machine. I want to sew a button on a pair of shorts (not make a button hole). Does this machine have that ability? Would appreciated being pointed in the right direction. Have not been able to locate any videos about how to do this.

I love my machine too but sometimes I get bird's nest at the beginning of my sewing

I’m sitting on the fence between this machine and the Eversewn Sparrow QE. If anyone can offer some advice, let it flow!!

That machine is $1050. I wish I could afford one!

Size matters……lmao
