after thirty years of industrial sewing i still learned a few things from your video. i had 6 juki 563 running 35 hours a week and very little trouble.
You did a good clear job of explaining timing adjustment. I always say hook point to neeldle clearance is no light between them without them touching each other. I think it would be good if next you would have explained adjusting the needle guard. With these tight tolerances, any side needle deflection and good bye hook point. Just for added thought, most of these machines are old. Cup screws get worn as well as other parts and normally they have been worked on by many people of different skill levels. If you've owned a machine a long time then you know its condition. If you've recently acquired it, best to go through it. These are tools for doing real work. Don't want any downtime.
Outstanding! I wish this had been available ten years ago, when I bought my LU563. I haven't used it for a while, and it was not being very cooperative. Thanks to your video, I think she's purrin', again.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I just bought a used Juki LU562, and I hope to use these techniques to make my machine sew as it should.
OMG you saved me!I have neglected oiling my JUKI LU-562 for far too long and it “seized up”! I watched your SUPER informative RUclips and it is now humming away!!! THANK YOU SO much!!
Hi thank you for your video, very useful. My stitch button isn’t entering the groove of the eccentric mechanism.. the mechanism seams to be off a little to the right. How can I fix that? Thank you in advance
Great video but I was hoping to see something on adjusting the bobbin case opener. My 563 has a tension issue when sewing in reverse. Great stitches forward but in reverse there’s always top thread nests on the bottom regardless of top tension and I think the thread catches on the case opener creating a momentary bottom tension.
Unless there is a burr on the bobbin case opener this should not be an issue. Increase your bobbin case tension. If you cant turn the screw on the left of the spring on the bobbin case base you would have to take the bobbin case base out and take the spring off. Reshape and put back together.
@@bridgewatersewingcentre thanks! I actually solved it mostly with a new feed dog and needle plate. The under side of the needle plate had some weird wear issues as if maybe the hook had been too high at some point in its life and been rubbing the underside of the plate. I think the thread was catching in this wear causing the issues.
Question, at the end about the walking foot…I’m wanting to raise the rear foot a little when it’s in the down position. It dents the leather as I feed it through and I think if I can raise that rear foot it’ll resolve that issue. How do I raise that?
I have the Juki Lu 562 and this video was very informative. Learned I was missing a step in threading the upper tension. I have a question. I’m in an upholstery class and a couple of the class machines are having an issue with the thread coming out of place around the upper tension assembly. Where the thread wraps around from underneath the second tension disc, normally you feel and hear a small click when the thread goes past that little pointy part that bends in toward the middle of the discs. When we pull the thread up against the tension spring, there is no little click and after sewing just a little bit the thread pops out from in between the discs. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? Our instructor is trying to get the machines serviced, but the school isn’t very proactive in having the machines kept in good working condition. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
If you are taking about the tension assembly you can take and drop the thread down around the pin that holds the plates from spinning. This will keep the thread from coming out of the tension disks. If you are talking about the take up spring disks which is below the tension disks, you can adjust the small screw that keeps them from moving. You can turn it to the left so it will click in easier.
Great informative video! Thanks for taking the time to make it! I have a Juki LU-562 and it vibrates at higher speeds. Is this normal? The counter balance looks like it is in the correct orientation with respect to the needle. Cheers!
Hello Neil! This video has been very helpful, but I have an issue on a Juki 563 I recently purchased. When I am trying to adjust the stitch length via the "button/cog" method, it is stuck at 14 on the indicator. I cannot turn the wheel. The only time it will turn is if I engage the safety clutch. Do you think it is seized somewhere? I oiled the bejezzus out of it before I even ran it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Great video, I just recently bought a Consew 226R1 and is similar. Do you know how to adjust the presser feet if they need to be straightened? On my machine it seems like the are slightly angled so the needle is towards the very left side of the inner presser foot hole. I'm not sure how to adjust the outside walking foot to straighten that out!
This is somewhat difficult to do. You would have to loosen the lifting block on the pressure bar from behind the machine and also loosen the block guide on the top of the pressure bar and then you should be able to turn the outside pressure foot
One thing that wasn’t covered was the presser foot/knee pad adjustment-I’m having to raise the presser foot by hand with the lever behind the needle. ☹️
Good vid with nice closeups of components. Is a Juki LS-563 a solid industrial walking foot machine and would u recommend it over a Consew 226 in equal condition?
@@bridgewatersewingcentre Thanks for your response. I have an offer I made for three walking foot machines that I looked at today. A Juki LS-563, Consew 226R and a Seiko/Consew LSW-8BL. 🤞🏽
Only way to start slow would be with a servo motor. You have two buttons on the bed, left one is stitch length, right one is the adjustment when you jam your machine up it will throughout the clutch
Hi, Why does my sewing machine come back when I stop sewing? The motors no longer have a brake but this causes the thread on the hook to tie into a knot... JUKI 563
Good instruction! I have a Singer 211U which has some similar mechanics. Thanks for sharing. I am replacing my Needle bar. Not related specifically to this video, but sometimes I find what I'm looking for with the Juki videos. I do need to adjust my middle foot, this would help me sort that out. Cheers! UPDATE: I just found your 211U566 Needle Bar adjustment video - Thank you! ruclips.net/video/Wf-LjgQrHV8/видео.html

I also same machine very good working for heavy works thank you for all details of machine 👍👍
You are welcome
Very helpful instructions with nice clear camera work, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Just got this machine and I REALLY appreciate the insight!!!!
Thanks immensely for sharing your knowledge and techniques. Very helpful information.
You are very welcome.
You just taught me things I didn't know I needed to know :) Very informative video, thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent information. Thank you very much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice Clear Video. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome
i have a juki 563. And the bobbin yarn. Makes loops backwards. Stitching forward is good
You have to increase your upper thread tension
thank you for your teaching it well appreciated
You are very welcome
Very thorough and informative! Love!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Great ! thank you!

Am trying to adjust the stitch length but the button can't push it down.
The button may be seized. Try let a little oil sit around the button for a bit

This would be normal.
I just bought this machine and this was perfect for what needed. Any chance you can do a similar video for a 1245 Pfaff?
Will see what I can do next time a 1245 goes through the shop.

Do you have a parts list to convert a 562 to a 563?
Do you know where i can find a tutorial to change out the presser foot bar on the juki Lu-562
The next time I have a chance I will do a video on this.

Hi there, wondering how to add tension to the bobbin?
Thanks for the good video! Is there a way to adjust the clearance under the presser feet when its in the lifted position? So it lifts higher?
There are several different adjustments to be made and in different spots. Much to complicated to explain online.
I have a juki lu 562 and i can not regulate the upper thread tension. It is so tight the thread frays at the needle. Any suggestions?
make sure the bobbin tension is not really tight. more on the bobbin then you have to increase the top
One thing that wasn’t covered was the presser foot/knee pad adjustment-I’m having to raise the presser foot by hand with the lever behind the needle. ☹️
You would have to get under the machine and study the linkage and adjust all the play that you can see.

Hi, Why does my sewing machine come back when I stop sewing? The motors no longer have a brake but this causes the thread on the hook to tie into a knot...
JUKI 563
Best bet is to install a servo motor. Would eliminate all your issues.
Replace your brake pad an adjust brake
What is the largest needle and thread size the 563 will take
You would max out the thread size at 138, without modifications. Needle size would be about a size 25 without modifications as well.
what needle type? db x 1???
What thread sizes can be used on this machine?
Thread from 69 weight up to about 138
Do you have an engine supply for me to buy and send to Indonesia?
No we do not

Try watching one of the videos on the site. Is there one similar to your machine?
Look for sewing machines, gloves of the pure leather type, and machines for sewing leather clothes
Would need a patcher; can get these new.
