Juki TL-98QE Mechanical Sewing Machine - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Needle keeps breaking when sewing
Make sure the needle is in correctly. On most machines the flat part goes towards the back of the machine. Also make sure you are using the correct size needle for the type of thread and fabric you are using. Thicker fabrics such as denim and upholstery fabrics will require a thicker needle, like a 100 (16).

I have a JUKI HZL - DX7. There is a problem with the automatic thread cutter.
If your JUKI HZL-DX7 sewing machine's automatic thread cutter is leaving behind a short piece of thread in the mechanism after each cut, there might be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and address the problem:
- Thread Tension: Check the tension settings for both the upper and lower threads. Improper tension can cause thread to be left behind in the thread cutter mechanism. Make sure the tension is balanced and appropriate for the type of fabric you're sewing.
- Thread Quality: Poor-quality or thick threads can sometimes get caught in the thread cutter mechanism. Ensure you're using good-quality threads that are suitable for your sewing project.
- Thread Path and Thread Guides: Make sure the upper and lower threads are properly threaded through the machine's threading path and guides. Improper threading can lead to thread buildup in the cutter area.
- Thread Cutter Mechanism Cleaning: The thread cutter mechanism might have accumulated lint, debris, or bits of thread over time. Gently clean the thread cutter area with a small brush, compressed air, or a vacuum cleaner to remove any buildup.
- Blade Inspection: Check the blade of the thread cutter for any nicks, dullness, or damage. A damaged blade might not cut the thread cleanly, leaving behind remnants.
- Thread Cutter Mechanism Lubrication: Some sewing machines have small moving parts in the thread cutter area that benefit from occasional lubrication. Consult your sewing machine's manual to see if lubrication is recommended and use a sewing machine-safe lubricant if needed.
- Machine Maintenance: Regular maintenance of your sewing machine, including cleaning and oiling as recommended in the manual, can help prevent issues with the thread cutter mechanism.
- Consult the Manual: Refer to your JUKI HZL-DX7 sewing machine's manual for specific instructions on troubleshooting and maintaining the automatic thread cutter.
- Professional Service: If the issue persists after trying these steps, it might be best to seek the assistance of a professional sewing machine technician. They can diagnose and repair any mechanical issues with the thread cutter mechanism.
Remember that working with sewing machines involves mechanical parts and electrical components, so it's important to follow safety guidelines and, if needed, seek professional assistance to avoid causing further damage or harm.
