Hello, thank you so much for your video! I have my new baby, JUKI DX7, and I am very happy! But it was a bad surprise this with the twin needles! Only 2 mm, length. My question is, ok if you make decorative stitches, but if you want straight stitches, like these we make at jeans, can we use bigger twin needles?, I use 4mm, in my old machine! I wait for your answer .. Thank you Merry Christmas
Hello! you can technically put a larger twin needle in the machine. You just have to be very careful not to do any sort of zig zag because the needles will likely hit the foot, the needle plate or both. But as long as you stay in straight stitch, you won't hurt the machine. That being said, I can't officially recommend you do that, but it is possible ;)
First I'd get a new needle in the machine to rule out the needle being bent. Then, make sure the thread you are using isn't too old. Thread becomes brittle over time and if you can break it with your hands easily, then it isn't viable anymore. Next, make sure it is threaded correctly. If all of these are fine, I'd advise you to check your needle clearance. you can do this by is removing the needle plate and bobbin case, and with your machine off, rotating your handwheel and making sure the needle doesn't "tick" on the hook as it swings around and comes close to it. if it does, you would need to take it to a repair shop to have it adjusted. Hope this helps!
Very informative!
Thank you!
