Juki DNU-1541 Mechanical Sewing Machine - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Usually, if there is spring mechanism on or near the thread tensioner, that spring is an integral part to the tension system. Sounds to me like it is not being threaded correctly. Juki 1541 threading Google Searchor you might try talking to your Juki dealer.

What kind of material are you using and what kind of thread? I have this machine and it is wonderful. If the needle and the thread are too big for the material being sewn, the material will pucker. Go to a smaller stitch, thread or needle one at a time and see what works. It's possible that either the top or bottom tension is set too tight but if it wasn't doing it before, I would try these other things before I changed my tensions. Also sometimes I completely unthread my upper thread and rethread my machine, in case some lint has gotten caught in a tension or a thread has kinked around one of the places I am not looking. Lastly, take the two screws out of your needle plate and take it off and either blow the lint out of the feed dogs or use your vacuum to vacuum the lint out. While you have your plate off, check the needle hole that is in the plate to make sure it is smooth. If you have broken a needle or something, it can make a groove in the side of the needle hole and it will catch your thread on each stitch and make it gather up. If there is a groove, you will need to buy a piece of emery tape and file it till it is smooth again. Then reassemble your machine and hopefully you won't have the problem anymore!

Not sure if you have had your question answered, but I've been down that road and it drove me nuts!! Simple solution: reset the clutch. There's a silver button in the middle of the bed, push it down, and hand rotate the wheel in the opposite direction until it clicks. Now it should work. (it's a built in safety feature that trips when something is wrong so you don't destroy your machine)

Get a magnifying glass and look carefully at the disc for a build up of wax and burrs. You may need to clean them up or use a piece of fine sand paper to remove burrs. Start there.... then if no improvement seek out your local industrial sewing machine repairman to get parts and further help.

Needle breaks 1.the needle is damaged 2.the needle is not correctly inserted 3.wrong size needle for the fabric 4.the wrong foot is attached 5.the needle clamp screw is loose 6. Top tension is too tight 7. Machine could be out of time

Get some tweezers and a magnifying glass. Remove the foot, the needle, the bobbin cover and the feed dog/needle plate cover. Use the tweezers and magnifying glass to see the threads and tweeze them out

Puckering is typically NOT a tension problem. But rather a bad needle or not the right needle for the project and thread. Sometimes it's uneven feed but since your 1541 is a walking foot you might have to get the feed timed. I know little about that. I would first look at the recommended needle thread combo for the fabric. Then the presser foot tension. Good luck.

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.
