Why does my Juki 1541S not pick up the thread from the bobbin when it is supposed to?

I have re-engaged the clutch and it still will not pick up the thread. I have also tried a new needle.

1. Check the bobbin to make sure it is snug and not allowed to rotate a small amount. Also check for tension.
2. To begin with hang two inches from the bobbin.
3. Before you begin replace the needle. Make sure the flat side is where it is suppose to be.
4. While turning your hand wheel towards you hold the thread toward the back of the machine.
5. When the needle is beginning to rise above the throat plate you should feel a pull on the thread. This is the bobbin thread causing a resistance while it is being pulled up.
6. If this doesn't work then put the needle on the left while using a straight stitch. If it doesn't work again try the needle on the right.
7. If none of these work you will need to have your machine timed.

SOURCE: needle won't pick up bobbin thread tried cleaning

Hi,
did you clean the bottom bobbin area thoroughly? Remove the cover plate and bobbin reel, look for debris. Any left over cotton will cause problems, after you clean it spray some wd-40 on all moving parts.
Thanks
Adam

You've got something binding in the bobbin area. Open up the entire bobbin/feed dog area plates so you can really see. Get your magnifying glass out and really examine the area for threads wound around things. DO NOT unscrew anything if you can help it. If you unscrew the wrong thing you can knock it completely out of time. (which may be why couldn't get the bobbin thread up anyway.)

If all this is intimidating to you... take it for repair.

When I rewind my boobin, the thread is too loose. How do I adjust it on a JUKI DNU 1541-S?
You're saying the thread on the bobbin is loose/sloppy? That would be a result of the tension placed on the bobbin during winding. Make sure you are using the correct threadpath to wind the bobbin, or the winding tension needs to be adjusted.

I have juki 1541 industrial machine needle want pick up bobbin thread??
Is your needle inserted correctly? Try taking it out and inserting again. Is your bobbing threaded correctly? Try taking it out and re-threading. You might also try cleaning the bobbin area. The only other think I can think of is that you may have the wrong needle in.

I have a Juki 1541s the needle will not catch the bobbin
At this point I would take the manual and do a proper 'take apart and clean' on it. I have had this happen as well, and most often, even tho I don't see the creator of the issue, cleaning/oiling makes it fine. And make sure you use a good sharp needle. Nothing worse to make a machine not work correctly in a bad needle. Tighten up the needle in the machine as well. There could be fuzz on the hook within the machine.

Need threading instructions for JUKI DNU1541S Threading Diagram
I also have a Juki DNU-1541S and I'v had nothing but problems. My bobbin will not feed out thread. The Pressure foot needs a wrench to lift it, the knee pad will not work due to the pressure foot being so stiff. YES, I've turned the knob at the top so much it's near comming off !!
The so-called "Instructional Manual" appears to be a "UNITED NATIONS" resolution in all languages. The English portions is barely enough to fit 1/4 page. A Manual ?? A JOKE is better.

Juki dnu-1514s The machine is threaded and and the bobbin is loaded. When I sew, the machine does not make any stitches. It's as if the machine is not threaded and I'm just running fabric...
Your bobbin system isn't engaged. this can happen for several reasons, mostly when things are a little out of whack.
The 1541 has a 'clutch' it located near center on the bottom surface and is a silver circle below the 'arm'. Bring the needle all the way down, now push the clutch and hold while you turn the wheel back (top away from you) eventually the clutch will click when everythings aligned and engage the bobbin system again.
