Juki LU-1508N

Made in Japan

The JUKI LU-1508N is a single needle, vertical axis hook (top load bobbin), walking foot sewing machine designed to sew heavy-weight materials such as leather, vinyl, canvas, webbing, and synthetics.

Best suited for sewing furniture upholstery, automotive, marine and aviation interiors and general sewing of leather goods.  This machine is used by professional shops whose customers demand high quality finishing and unparalleled stitch aesthetics.

• New mechanism with a rectangular feeding motion promises consistent feed of materials of all thickness without the risk of stitch gathering
  
• Compared with elliptical feed, rectangular feed helps reduce gathered stitches
  
• With adoption of a new rectangular feed mechanism, an alternating vertical movement mechanism and a unison feed mechanism helps feed heavyweight materials powerfully and smoothly
  
• Well tensed seams are consistently produced without pitch errors
  
• With its maximum stitch length of 9 mm, the machine can be applied to a broader range of uses
  
• Stitch length can be easily selected by the stitch dial
  
• Many improved features offer enhanced operability such as an easy-to-observe area around the needle, placement of bobbin winder on the front face, and a large hand-wheel
  
• Knee-lifter mechanism built-in to bed reduces pressure required to operate the knee-lifter
  
• Full-open-type top design makes it possible to fully open the top of the machine arm and helps make adjustment easy without tilting the machine head
  
• Alternating vertical movement mechanism prevents irregular stitches
  
• High 16 mm presser foot lift enables easy material handling
  
• Since machine incorporates a vertical-axis double-capacity hook, the frequency of bobbin thread replacement is reduced, further increasing efficiency
  
• If thread gets caught in the hook, the safety device is automatically engaged, preventing possible hook damage
  
• Pressing the reset button will immediately return the machine back to the normal state
