Your bobbin winder may not be winding properly. u can adjust this by loosining the screw that control the tension and movind the part in the direction where the bobbin has less thread. try tightening the thread tension on bobbin winder. you bobbin case may be defective. clean with tooth brush and use small screwdriver to life bobbin tension device to clean under it. another trick is to cut a piece of nylon the size of the inside of the bobbin case and snip a hole in the middle of the material so it fits in the bobbin case. this wil stop the bobbin from running away, you can buy a bobbin case with built in spring to keep the bobbin from over running. ck your thread take up spring too. very easy to adjust just put screw driver in tension post and turn to right to tighten spring.

I am using a Juki DDL 8700 thread to tight & not pulling through needle & cactching bottom thread

needle too small or machine out of time. to time machine theres a mark on needle bar. lower needle bar till mark shows and raise bar till even with bar guide. take off feeder plate so u can see needle in relation to hook. when mark on needel bar is even with bar guide the hook should be 1/16 fron passing the needle. if not loosen 3 screws and trial and error it to get it right. use a small screwdriver and tighten just on screw when u hab aglined the hook to needle. do a full rotation and watch where needle is and needle bar mark. needel should be as clost to hook without touching.

My stiches are loose on the bottom of my banner - is it the bobbin or a tension issue?

If the threads on the back are loopy, you need to tighten the top tension. If you have a spare piece you may want to run some of the plastic through the machine until you get the tension correct. If the top tension is too loose, the stitching will just pull out.

Why wont my Juki DDL-8700 form a stitch?

machine is out of time and u probably have burrs on the hook since you broke the plate with a needle probably from pulling fabric and bending the needle. you instruction manual will tell u how to time machine and its really very simple. all u have to do is take off feeder plate, loosen the 3 screws that hold the hook then lower the needle with the wheel until the needle just starts to rise. bring the loose hook point to i/16 " fron the needle and tighten hook screws. machine must be tilted back to do this whole operation. it helps to have a short screwdriver to tighten the hook screws. remove burrs with lite emory paper stroking in the sale direction as the hook.

My juki 8700 h frays thread while trying to sew

Hello Daniel, I suggest you start with a new needle. Back off the needle thread tension and the bobbin thread tension to a minimum and see how it sews. If it does not ravel the thread, you can increase the tensions until you acquire the stitch you want.

Hello, I have a juki DDL 5550, runs great, But the tension is off. Top thread bunches up on bottom side of fabric ( bobbin thread looks ok)\r\nThanks,S

Soulds like your not geting the top thread all the way in the tension disk. Make sure you have the presser foot up when you thread the machine. also after you get it treaded check to make sure you have tension, with the presser foot up you should have not tension and with it down it should be very hard to pull.
hope this helps
