How easy or hard is it the thread the needle with the lighting on the machine? My eyes aren't what they used to be. Thanks.

It is so easy to thread with the easy thread feature. It is quick and easy. I love it as my eyes are not that good anymore.

Yes this thread has a beautiful end result in most all embroidery machines.....Keep in mind to purchase a needle for your machine that has a larger Needle eye then most ...the reason for this is to keep the thread from fraying as you are using it.....some decorative threads tend to be softer and more fragile so as they pull with the tension of the machine they can break off eaisier....ask your favorite Fabric shop for the larger eyed needles....they are actually just as sharp they just have a more elongated eye for the thread......Best of luck with your sewing adventures.

I use my regular needles but I have to lighten up on the tension so its not so tight and breaks the thread. Hope this helps.

I had no issues with mine. If it got put on a little cock-eyed and the threads aren't lined up right, it could seem stuck. I wish I could help. Maybe a local camera store could give you more help without ruining your threads. Good luck.

Its pretty easy! Took all of 30 minutes at the most and that because I flushed and lubed the conduit that the wire runs through. make sure you tie off the old light to the new light or use a fish tape to pull the wire and you will have no problems. Good Luck!

No at least when I put it in my embroidery machine it brought up the designs but there was no light. I thought the area were the white side button was might Have lite up, some do but this one did not. but it works good.

Not by much. I don't know why since, with the sewing machine, I can see the eye of the needle clearly and every individual stitch. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend this lamp for that use. Try using the computer software that's out there to do that for you. Good luck.

No. It's really the perfect intensity for otherwise poorly lit craft spaces. I love mine-intensely. I can't knit in the evening without it. Also, in the daytime, there is one time of day when there's a little shadowy glare. This light fixes all my light issues.

Do you have the dvd to watch? http://www.juki.co.jp/household_en/serger/ has pdf files with diagrams of the threading. The thread underneath has to be pulled through with a tweezer. That was the hardest part to learn. I was overwhelmed but once I threaded the machine a couple of times it really wasn't so bad. I follow the color dots. I got really frustrated with the tension then realized I had to pull on of the threads up into the silver thread holder under the yellow tension dial. Once I got that thread held correctly the tension was fine. Hang in there! The machine is awesome! If you don't have the dvd try to find a used copy or call Juki. It has helped me with doing the different stitches as well.

Not difficult at all, but having said that, one of the spare mounts I bought had an issue. I got one that apparently wasn't finished correctly (there was a full 1/8 inch of plastic under the release tab which appeared to be part of the mold tree) which caused my light to become jammed onto the bracket. Fortunately I was eventually able to get the light off without damage and, once removed, correct the problem with my Dremel. Works fine now and looks about the same as my other mounts.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

It was suppose to be easy to thread, color coded so to speak. My problem, it kept breaking needles constantly and it is very difficult to replace the needles. I ended up selling on Craigs list...Not pleased with overall perfomance.

Does your thread break at the needle, have you tried different thread, or is it the bobbins, I would try a different bobbin

Machine is per threaded with white. Needles included. You will need to purchase more spools of the colors you need. The machine is prethreaded so you can tie your new thread on and it feeds through - no need to thread yourself. Joanne's fabrics has two different quality of threads ranging from $1.00 to a better quality 3-4$. Hope this helps!

I used a blunt tapestry needle, braced the needle on the table and pushed down hard. The needle was jammed in and would not fall out at that point. Then I was able to pry off the battery cover with a screw driver. Very bad design. There is a small piece of tape on the battery, so to make a connection at all you have to remove the battery cover and pull out the tape.

I had the same issue. The needles broke over & over and are not the easiest to change out. I ended up selling mine. Was very disappointed.

I was new to sewing as well. As long as you read the instructions in the manual it is a very easy machine to use. Very easy to thread the needle, and I love the bobbin winding feature...I guess people don't like to sit down and actually read and learn about what they just bought... I had no sewing experience at all, and now I'm sewing like crazy!! Hope this helps... :)
