I think that Juki's are straight only. Is this true? I would clean and oil and adjust...then try try again. Is there a Juki group on yahoo, sometimes those groups have lots of info. Good luck.
Some Juki's are just straight stitch. I have the F600 which has decorative, buttonholes, etc.
I took my machine in and he just put the tension setting to normal ... the stitches were fine. I did that last night but I didn't think the stitches looked right. Maybe I confused my machine by making so many adjustments and after a good nights rest it worked fine. LOL
AND, as everyone advised, I'm sticking with "sharp" needles. Thank you.
