The JUKI Corporation, the world leader in industrial sewing machine manufacturing, now brings its latest technologies into your home with the new F series of sewing machines, which will impress you with its functionality and reliability. Any professional dressmaker will be pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of these machines. With them, all your work will be indistinguishable from industrially sewn products. At home, in small sewing workshops or alteration shops, make use of the many years of JUKI experience and technology and expand your sewing possibilities with the amazing F series – as soon as you try sewing with it, you will have no doubt about which sewing machine to choose.

 Sews any type of fabric, from the finest to thick and heavy fabrics!

No puckering of thin fabrics, even with the finest silk. No problems sewing the most difficult knitwear. Sewing thick denim or coat fabrics, no matter how many layers you need to stitch through. Need to repair a leather handbag? No problem either.

 

Automatic bobbin winding!

Place the bobbin on the winder and push the lever: the machine starts winding automatically and stops by itself when the bobbin is full. No more pressing the foot pedal or releasing the handwheel to do this.

Direct fabric feed – industrial sewing machine technology!

To achieve beautiful stitching and perfect fabric feed, JUKI uses the direct fabric feed technology found in industrial lockstitch sewing machines. In ordinary domestic sewing machines the feed dogs move in an ellipse, whereas in F series machines the feed dogs move at a right angle. This feed method prevents fabric puckering and slippery fabrics shifting against each other. This feed system produces perfect stitch quality on most light and thin fabrics as well as on heavy and thick ones.

Direct stitch selection!

The machines in this series have a very simple stitch selection menu. To select the stitch you want, simply press the buttons on the front of the machine. To make it even easier, a very clear chart on the flip-up cover lets you use all the machine's features simply and easily without even opening the manual.

Foot pedal with direct thread cutting function (JUKI only) – industrial sewing machine technology!

Like sophisticated industrial sewing machines, F series sewing machines automatically cut both the bobbin and needle threads at the end of sewing when you press the foot pedal backwards. So you no longer need to deal with the long thread end left over, which would otherwise have to be cut with scissors, wasting a lot of time you could spend on other work. In addition, with automatic cutting you no longer need to pull the thread and drag the fabric, which can pucker the seam.

The thread cutting function can also be performed by pressing the thread cutter button after the operation, located on the machine body next to the START&STOP button (used mainly when sewing without the foot pedal), or simply by selecting the automatic thread cutting function at the end of sewing, when the threads are cut automatically.

Improved fabric feed mechanism!

F series machines have an improved fabric feed mechanism – steel feed dogs and a reinforced presser foot mounting system. The most difficult sewing tasks, such as moving from thin to thick sections when sewing denim or coat fabrics, are done simply and easily. The stitches do not bunch up or skip in thick sections.

16 types of buttonholes with quality equal to specialised, expensive industrial machines!

Thanks to a special, patented technology never before used in domestic sewing machines and a special sensor, F series machines sew very high-quality buttonholes regardless of the fabric type. Now you can choose any type of buttonhole according to your fabric, change the buttonhole width and density, and choose double or even triple buttonhole stitching in a single operation (only on JUKI F series sewing machines).

 A large and very convenient work surface, extended even further on the F600 model with the extension table included as standard.

Bright and economical LED work area lighting!

You will no longer have to worry about where to get a replacement bulb for your sewing machine, because F series sewing machines feature new-technology LED work area lighting that does not burn out and illuminates the work area extremely brightly while using practically no electricity, and on the F600 model the lighting is placed in several locations, further improving working comfort.

 

Knee lifter for the presser foot – industrial sewing machine technology (included as standard on F400 and F600 models)!

To make work even more comfortable and avoid lifting the presser foot by hand, a special lever lets you raise the presser foot by pushing it with your knee, so your hands are always free.

An exceptionally large and convenient START&STOP button!

START&STOP buttons on other manufacturers' machines have not proved successful, as they have been too small or placed in a very inconvenient position, so you had to take your attention away from your work to press them. JUKI has thought of this too. On F series machines the START&STOP button is large and lights up bright green when the presser foot is lowered and the machine is ready to sew, or warning red when the presser foot is raised (which also activates protection against accidental start-up). The START&STOP button is positioned near your thumb while you hold the fabric with your hands, so you do not need to take your eyes off your work and it is very convenient to use.

Automatic needle threader!

On F series machines you no longer need to thread the needle yourself, as the automatic needle threader does it for you.
