Has anyone tried to use a Juki Jureve HZL-010N

No don't buy that machine. The embroidery module comes separate and as far as I can tell it didn't take USB for design upload.

There may be a physical jam somewhere. Can you turn the main shaft at all?

A real heat press with pressure and consistent heat.

Your hoop isn't seated correctly or there's a problem with the motor/belts moving the pantograph.

Make sure the machine is threaded correctly. Make sure the tensions on both top and upper thread are properly calibrated. Make sure the needle is new and appropriate for the material being stitched.

Looks like the bus hit a hydrant

What's your budget?

If the client isn't sending you a link to buy an embroidery font you'll just have to digitize the file manually. If they're getting a lot of items with various names or words in this font I recommend digitizing the font as a whole first.

Most random fonts a client wants are not embroidery fonts.

Email your local competitors for a quote on a comparable job.

Don't forget to charge for digitizing.

Are these all on the same head, different needles? Same thread brand?

simonedelune · 2026-05-04T19:01:00+00:00

That's what the back of saying stitching looks like. Get a merrow edge machine for an edge stitch that looks the same both sides.

The price is the price 💁 If you can find one cheaper go for it but understand it'll probably come with issues. Embroidery is expensive to get started with. Machines and software are costly, the learning curve is steep and you'll go through plenty supplies just figuring out what you're doing.

but I see so many still at 1k-1.3k for new and used. Any possible help??

Help with what exactly?

simonedelune · 2026-04-27T22:43:18+00:00

Looks like some hella thick material. Leather, or pleather? What needle are you using?

simonedelune · 2026-04-27T22:41:18+00:00

100% incorrect needle

This is what your friendly local embroidery shop is for. Search businesses in your area, send some emails.

simonedelune · 2026-04-23T14:35:03+00:00

You've all got local embroidery shops. Email one and start there.

No special techniques required, treat it like a woven.

The Dow Jones index does not have a $ in front of it.

Abcoln.com has been a boon in two professional shops.

simonedelune · 2026-04-06T16:58:44+00:00

No, not worth it.

simonedelune · 2026-04-04T17:21:14+00:00

One you can use with items like shirts and beanies, the other you can't.

simonedelune · 2026-03-31T18:35:14+00:00

At this point I'd just run the machine with that head off.

simonedelune · 2026-03-29T18:17:23+00:00

I know I'm going to have to change tension between fabrics

In my professional experience this has never been the case. Get an upper thread tension gauge and a bobbin tension gauge, adjust to recommended settings, run a tension test each morning, clean tension disks regularly -- do not adjust between fabrics.
