JUKIHZL-F600 Computerized Sewing and Quilting Machine

Thank You Sew Vac Direct and Amazon for carrying this brand of sewing machine. I've sewn on industrial Juki machines so had no doubts that Juki was the right brand. The features on this machine allows a sewist to go from garment sewing, hemming and mending to household sewing like curtains and drapes, to quilting "seamlessly". The transition from one function to the other is flawless. I've just finished a 108 X 112 king size quilt and this machine would have made that process a breeze. I love the exact 1/4" needle placement for scant 1/4" piecing that is flawless each time. I love the thread cutter. This machine is quiet compared to base level machines. The lighting, there are two LED lights, one over the needle one over the bed. The machine is intuitive and easy to set up and operate right out of the box. I played with mine for half an hour and started piecing another quilt. This machine produces a quality stitch each time. I also love the bobbin winder, fills a smooth tight even bobbin and has an independent bobbin motor so there is no need to stop sewing for bobbin filling. The free motion quilting foot is so well designed and makes FMQ a breeze. I can't say enough about this machine, I knew what Juki would deliver as I ran Juki machines working at Levis Strauss years ago. I am Not disappointed. This was the right machine for me.

If you are into sewing and want a reliable no holes barred solution, this is it. Small to large projects are a breeze and this unit is a great sewing machine with a low noise level and handles thin to thick fabrics with out missing a step.

Can’t go wrong with a Juki. Has lots of spectacular features. Love it!

I am in love with my Juki. I had a much less expensive, very basic machine for many years when my sewing was limited to basic garments and simple quilting, just what I could squeeze into my limited free time. When things got less hectic I decided to learn more quilting techniques, and there were some things that were just harder than necessary on my old machine. So in the middle of a course and with the dreaded tariffs looming I took the plunge and ordered this machine after doing my research. I was nervous because I had not used a computerized machine before, but within a few days of practicing I was ready to show it off in class. Still don’t know the full extent of what it can do, but haven’t found anything to be that difficult.There are a plethora of presser feet that come with, and a good if basic manual. The presser feet are standard low shank. If necessary I could probably use one from my old machine, but so far the Juki has included everything I have needed. In addition to the DVD that comes with it, Juki has a YouTube channel which is handy for being able to review how to do something wherever you are.I especially like that the most frequently used accessories fit into the removable bed, but the other items are included in a sturdy pouch that can be kept in a pocket of the hard shell case, which is also convenient. The included bed is a nice size, too.I guess it’s pretty standard, but it has the needle down option, as well as the option to set your sewing speed. The automatic needle threader is pretty nifty as well. Winding a bobbin is a breeze. I just used the overcast stitch and was impressed by how simple it was.There’s still a lot to learn and I don’t know that I will ever use all the features. But the ease of use so far is encouraging so I might yet branch out.

Amazing machine, very glad I have it. This machine is TOUGH and will go through multiple thick fabrics without a hitch. Have also sewn light jerseys with no issues. Has a ton of useful stitches and features, the only thing I haven't tried yet is double needle stitching. I love that the bobbin winder is a separate motor, you don't have to disengage the main motor to wind a bobbin. The work surface is HUGE and very comfortable. The extension table makes it even bigger if needed.Intuitive controls and a good manual that is easy to navigate and understand. Great machine for the price, has many feature of the really high end models.

I'd give this machine 6 stars for how happy it made my wife.My wife had a Singer which she used with difficultly (and anger) due to constant problems with the thread ending up in a tangled birds nest or similar problems. He assumption was that it was her. However, she wanted to make a quilt for our grandson, so she persevered.I finally figured out that it may be the machine, so I researched sewing machines for several weeks. At first, I disregarded the reviews for this machine. They were so good, I assumed they were fake. After a time, I settled on either the Juki or the Jenome. Having known of a cut-and-sew operation that had happily used Juki commercial machines, I bought her this machine as an anniversary present.As it turns out, the reviews were not fake! If anything, they were too restrained. All problems stopped and my wife's output more than doubled. She felt sewing was fun again, not a hassle. She is happy beyond words, and so am I. It is difficult to believe how much difference this machine made.To date, we have not seen a downside.

It has jammed and threw its timing off three times in less than a year. It has cost me half of what the machine cost to get it fixed these times since you cannot repair it yourself. The product support is no help and a waste of money on this machine. I thought Juki would be a great brand but I was disappointed.
