Review on ✂️ Efficient and Versatile: Juki HZL-DX7 Sewing Machine from the HZL-DX Series by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best machine for sewing garments quickly and precisely

The best sewing machine for tailoring: very efficient, precise sewing, fast, easy to use. When it comes to sewing clothes, she is far superior to my Babylock Ellisimo gold. To get to know the machine, I made a pattern of each stitch and all the features this machine offers. WOW! It's a pleasure to customize the features (e.g. light touch stitch pattern selection, subtle selection tone, tried all pedal options, knee lifter, start and reverse speed adjustment). With this machine there is no waste of time: Everything is set up in no time. The basic presser foot alone is worth a lot: it is very easy to achieve a precise stitch, the distances on the needle plate are from the center of the foot and no additional presser foot is required for straight stitches. I can adjust each stitch (width, length) in real time with the dials while sewing (very useful and quick for finishing darts). The straight stitch sliding plate is a pleasure to operate: very quick (rather than unscrewing the whole plate on my Ellisimo) and no risk of zigzag stitches getting tangled in that little hole as the machine only accepts straight stitch. seams. And perfect straight stitches on a pattern in light charmeuse silk, without stabilizer. When stitch patterns (such as letters, words, flowers, etc. ) ) aren't noticeable the first time, there's an easy way to fix them: we just have to make an adjustment called "stuff adjustment" and "voila" as if by magic, no stabilizer! The hovering feature is impressive: my pattern was a sandwich made of silk duponi (slices of bread) and two layers of cotton wool: WOW! Perfect diamonds, no folds, no walking foot needed, all stitch patterns are allowed! The buttonhole foot is very easy to use (no side lever) and very effective. Perfect buttonholes (a hand buttonhole is also perfect), 3 widths. I prefer the Juki needle threader to the Babylock Ellisimo. All legs/coils on my Ellisimo, SingerQuantum Stylist, Brother are compatible (which I wouldn't have bought if Juki had been available years ago). We just have to make an adjustment called stuff adjustment and voila, like magic, no stabilizer!

Pros
  • ONE STEP AUTOMATIC BUTTON: Conveniently, by placing a button on the buttonhole foot, the machine automatically sews buttonholes the size of the button.
Cons
  • Only available in white
