I work in a factory that makes tactical gear for the military and the men in blue and we use machines such as this. I personally sew on a Juki dnu 1541S and it goes through stuff..but sometimes i wonder if it is too much on some of the stuff I sew but still it is an awesome and tough machine. in the future I want to make purses, back packs, and the like and I will get a Juki 1541 I hope they will be available. right now I don't have the money or the place to put one. just a goal in the future.
smooth running machine! tuned properly. / my machine needs a thorough tune up which is the reason I'm watching these videos. I've had my LU563 for about 3-4 yrs now.I'm still learning. LOL. / thanks for sharing the video.
I have several videos on the Juki LU-56x that you might find interesting as well as triple feed explanations, threading and general sewing machine advice.
Hey Alexander, how would you rate this machine as a automotive upholstry sewing machine? I know there is no 'one machine' for all applications, but would this model cover most of the automotive upholstry work? Thanks for the great videos to by the way, very descriptive and well explained. Keep up the great work.
First a disclaimer, I have never done upholstery. I believe a lot of upholstery has be done on these Juki's. The compound feed is a great feed system and has been the standard for some time. If you have an opportunity to get one of these or the LU-563 with bigger hook and bobbin, I would say go for it. If it didn't work for you, and I think it will, you can sell it and get your money back. These things hold their value very well.
Alexander Dyer, Great! I'm actually looking at the 563. They don't come up very often in my area. The local sewing shop is suggesting I go with the other style of feed, where the other foot draws the fabric through. That suggestion doesn't make logical sense to me. Appreciate your suggestion and your disclaimer noted.
I have the sailrite Big N Tall, do you have a video showing how to check and if need be, adjust the walking feet so they walk at the same height. I believe mine are off and I would like to adjust them for proper function. I was able to adjust them regarding the height of material they need to walk on, but they are not walking at the same height. Thanks and I really enjoy all your videos. Well Done !
Thanks for this good & simple explanation video!! of course at 6:22 is my fav part, for me the back thread it's so balance & strenght! Many video on UA-cam does not show the results of the back stitch. Thanks from Bandung - INDONESIA!
Nice vid. Do you have a video or know of a video that details cleaning/restoring one these machines? I just got one of these machines that was sitting in a garage for years. It has dust and dried up oil all over it. I want to get it working again.
I'm *this* close to buying an LU-563 with a boat load of thread/bobbins/accessories, for $250. I'm practically beside myself waiting for a reply from the seller, to see if it is still available.
On the juki 562/563. If you look on the back where the lifter front lever is connected to the lifter back lever that are connected with a hole and tab and one moves the other to lift the feet. Question is, when the machine is operating are those two levers supposed to be moving mechanically up and down? Its a friction joint.
Saludos ..tengo una yuky triple avanse ..se me salta mucho el automatico y para ponerlo en su lugar debo levantar la maquina y bajarlo con un destornillador ..la piesa para destrabar no me funciona ..cual es la solucion ..agradezco su respuesta..
Hey you probably got this figured out by now but there is a way to adjust how high the foot lifts with each step. Alexander covers this somwhat in his video called The Triple Feed, Large Hook Singer 211A566AA Industrial Sewing Machine.
This Machine was basically copied from Singer 112W. From WW1. Even the inside is so identical. Juki was making just updates on top. However, Thanks for the Video.
Oh and another thing, what would be a practical ,fair price for the LU563 in good working condition? He's asking $700 , isn't that kinda high for an order machine ? Im in So Cal also Thanks Wayne
These Juki LU-xxx are very desirable machines. Condition is the deciding factor. So Cal has lots of machines so you are lucky and should have plenty to chose from if you keep looking.
I've had a few of these types. For the past 14 yrs or so I run a Juki LU-1510N-7 and will never go back. I would love to try the new Adler but have run out of steam in my old age. My Juki stil sews so nice. So why spend another $ 6k or so.
@@AlexanderDyer Yea. Love sewing too. Just finished 45 ft Yatch interiour. All new foam,etc. That's a good one the lu 2810. Would love to own one. Looks nicer then mine of course. My dad had 7 guys upholstering 40 yrs. Never laid them off. They used a 16-41 Singer. Ha. Never did upgrade it. After they all retired died I started upgrading. Started 40 yrs ago with unision feed like 111W 156, 211W and others. Been sewing 50 yrs or so. I bought my LU1510N-7 from Al Costa. Northstar Sewing in NH. 2nd gen sewing machanic.
Hi Alex, your videos are very informative!! I have a question for you . I found a used Juki LU 563 machine was wondering if you have a video on that and give me some advice on that model? I m trying to go see this Friday. I looking for a machine I can so vinyl and leather, canvas ,cordura I think its called , wanna make bags ,maybe sew my own camping tent ,boat tops and upholstery... Thanks in advance ,,, I subscribed but not that good at maneuver ing on your channel .. I'll keep trying !!! Wayne
562 and 563 are the same except that the 563 have a large bobbin. This machine would be ideal for the projects you have indicated. Again, condition is the deciding factor.
Yes. This can be adjusted. I bought this from an awning shop who preferred small back tacks. This is what they determined looked best from sidewalk level in awning material. Each machine should be set up for the application of the user. If a person is sewing leather wallets for example then they would want to synchronize it as you say.
I think the 55 is an earlier version of the 562/563 series but I don't have any experience with it. Its hard to beat free, use that thing and see what it will do, I'll bet you can make some cool stuff that you can use.
Hey Alexander, Wondering what the most appropriate way of setting the bobbin tension in a top load machine like this Juki 562? I have a LU1508 and the documentation is pretty average with directions for the correct adjustment. I've watched you other video for a side feed, but wondering g how that translates to a top feed?
The principle is always the same. I have even thought so of 5 thread overlocks. It is a matter of trial and error so you want to do some test runs on scraps until you get it right. Sew a little make an adjustment, sew a little more and just keep dialing it in till you get the results you want. Master your machine and make it do what you want, it is yours. Oh and the 2 tensioners, I just try to keep them the same as one another so if I am tightening, I tighten both. This is just a way to apply the higher tensions this machine sometimes needs without pinching on the thread in one spot so much that it causes damage. I hope that makes sense.
Alexander Dyer thanks for your reply. I'll take your advice an invest the time just as you suggested. Keep up with your great videos. The camera angles and commentary are great.

Thanks for sharing such a good video on the Juki Lu562.
Every time I see a video on walking foot foot sewing machines I learn something new.
I have recently purchased an LU 562, DDL 227 and a Design-a-Quilt long arm. Learning a lot from your videos thx
I am glad that you find them useful. Thanks for taking the time to say so.

A very capable machine and very nice stitch it does, Thank's.

Well you obviously sew and know how to set your tension properly! Welcome to the channel and Thank you from Missouri, USA. 🌞
Good explanation of Unison feed.
Nice demonstration!! thanks
Addicted to your videos
So nice of you to say.
Nice vid.

Maybe this one would help. ua-cam.com/video/_h9wAGCIIrc/v-deo.html

Sounds good, be sure and give it a test sew. Good Luck.
Totally hooked on your videos. Really beautiful and interesting.
Great video and explanation. what motor and its specs are you using? Any speed reduction pulley?
This was done with a $100 dollar servo motor, they might cost closer to $120 now but nothing fancy and no reduction pulley.
Alexander Dyer Thanks. What make and model servo motor is it?
Is that a regular clutch set up with standard pulley size ? I have a 563 and can’t get it to go as slow as you do. Great video !
That is not a clutch motor. it is a servo motor. ua-cam.com/video/lavkvsU5ltk/v-deo.html

I think your knee operated lift is misaligned. You need to reinstall your foot lift into proper alignment.
Gracias por tu respuesta ..muchos saludos desde ecuador
Thank you!
How do these machines do with changes in elevation? Have a Singer 111W101 that is needle feed and it struggles to go over seams sometimes.
Hey you probably got this figured out by now but there is a way to adjust how high the foot lifts with each step. Alexander covers this somwhat in his video called The Triple Feed, Large Hook Singer 211A566AA Industrial Sewing Machine.
I almost bought a 562 but for some reason it didnt have reverse. Did reverse come as a option?Could it be added?
Very detailed explation

I was going to buy one today but the bobbin case is so small and there was no knee lifted
Si disculpa.. tienes toda la razon.
That's a awesome sewing machine. 👍👍😀😀

It doesn't look like your reverse is synched with forward; if I'm seeing what I *think* I see, it punched a different set of holes.
Yes. This can be adjusted. I bought this from an awning shop who
preferred small back tacks. This is what they determined looked best
from sidewalk level in awning material. Each machine should be set up
for the application of the user. If a person is sewing leather wallets

I have a LU 55 Subclass 3 that I inherited and was wondering what your thoughts are about this machine. Is it similar to the 563?
Sorry, 562.
I think the 55 is an earlier version of the 562/563 series but I don't have any experience with it. Its hard to beat free, use that thing and see what it will do, I'll bet you can make some cool stuff that you can use.
Hello Sr I recently bought this LU 562 and I was wondering if I can upgrade the hook and bobbin cage to a bigger size like the LU563 thanks in advance
I do not know the answer to your question but I am inclined to believe that you could.
Do you have an engine supply for me to buy and send to Indonesia?
I have this machine. I Love it!

Tex 105 and here is a nice chart. tolindsewmach.com/thread-chart.html
Machine ka price kya hai
Very good 👍
Can someone please tell me how old is the model LU562
I believe this model was manufactured in the 80s
Its very expensive that old machine .I think
I guess it depends on who you buy it from.
I just bought one for 800 Canadian dollars
Reminds me a lot of an Industrial Singer 111W115 very nice machine.
