Juki Hzl Z 27 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine

comment

I have been reading the reviews on this machine on Amazon.  Out of 81 reviews, 22% came back extremely negative.  The negative comments stated that the machine was poorly made and that Juki customer service was poor.  I think I will pass on this one.

What's a good project for a beginner?

I want to make a quilt, but I have never made a quilt. I can use a sewing machine in a very basic way. Do you have any ideas for a good entry-level quilting project? Eventually I would like to be able to make a baby blanket/quilt. I think something

Hi jacefacexx,

It's definitely good to do your homework before buying a sewing machine. I think it's good that SewMuchMoore posted the link to the Amazon reviews because it's a quick link for people to read all the reviews; positive and negative. I think it's important to note that 71% of the reviews were either 4 or 5 stars. Juki is a very well known and revered sewing machine brand and one that is highly coveted by quilters. Additionally and may...

I ordered one as a machine to take when I travel.  I have read the positive and negative reviews and feel the good outweighs the bad.  It has a 5 year warranty if it breaks.  My other Juki is big and heavy and works like a charm.  I trust the brand and since they have been making them for awhile they have worked out any bugs.  Most of the Amazon reviews that talked negative about the machine are from 2014.

I would so absolutely want one, because I want to get into sewing. But from what I've been hearing on reviews, I might want to try a different machine.

Would love to see some drops for headphone and IEM cases. I'm pretty sure the community would love to see cases for Massdrop made headphones. From basic protection and travel cases to heavy duty cases to protect the investment of more expensive headp

Yeah, I used an AA cobra for the 1" and had to resew it. For the 2" it would have been more of a pain (do you have a heavy duty sewing machine?) but once you do it you'll have a much nicer bag! I'll be jealous!

Depends upon your machine.  Size L is larger and is usually for commercial and heavy duty machines, where Class 15 is home sewing machines.  Because of size difference the L size holds more thread.   Your manual will specify exactly which bobbin your machine uses.  Trust me, a size L will not fit a Class 15 bobbin case.

Would massdrop be able to do a drop for manual benchtop milling machines?

I'd really like to get a little milling machine of my own and would prefer a manual one over cnc but the prices are a little prohibitive so I was wondering if a benchtop milling machine would be reasonable with how much they cost and how much they w

This sounds like a great portable machine that provides industrial quality stitching! I have an older model Juki DDL industrial machine, and I love it.  I'd love to try one of these newer TL 's to see how it compares! Does anyone notice the vibrations are too much for a standard desk ? I really like the heavy table that my Juki came with, so I can sew fast but not shake the machine off the surface....
