Juki HZL 35Z Sewing Machine Review

The Juki HZL-35Z sewing machine comes from one of the most recognized names in industrial machines but is designed for home use.

Precision engineering and a selection of utility stitches geared towards clothes construction work together for smooth stitching and great overall fabric control.

Juki HZL 35Z Stitch Patterns
There are a total of 27 stitch patterns on the Juki HZL 35Z sewing machine including a 1-step bartack buttonhole. There are powerful overcasting stitches for heavy fabrics, some decorative satin stitches for additional detail, and all the popular utility stitches like straight, zigzag, Blind Hem, Shell Tuck, and Rampart.
Stitch length is adjustable to 4mm and stitch width is adjustable to 6.5mm on certain stitches.

Juki HZL 35Z Presser Feet
In the box you’ll find four snap-on presser feet. The General Purpose presser foot has a leveling button which can be used to navigate evenly over thick seams or to start the machine smoothly when working on thick layers of material.

• General Purpose presser foot
• Zipper foot
• Blind Stitch presser foot
• Buttonhole foot

Juki HZL 35Z Features
Juki’s experience in industrial machines is applied in their home sewing machine line to give you maximum fabric control and easy set up technology.

The feed dogs have 7 points of contact – the most superior feed dog system available on home sewing machines. Two leading points have been positioned just ahead of the needle in order to quickly and easily make contact with your fabric and pull it through under the needle without requiring any additional support. The feed dog system works well with all kinds of fabrics from sheers to really heavy denims, canvas and corduroy.

The machine comes with a number of other sewer friendly features, too, like an automatic needle threader, drop-in bobbin system, automatic bobbin winder, two needle positions, and a pressure regulator for dealing with various fabric thicknesses.

The top thread has an adjustable tension control and the bobbin cover is see through so you know when you’re about to run out. The drop feed dog lever moves the feed dogs out of the way for mending or free-motion quilting and embroidery.

Maximum speed is 700 stitches per minute, a work light illuminates the work area, and a built in carry handle makes it easy to move the machine around the house.

Included Accessories
The Juki HZL 35Z sewing machine comes with a hard case and the extension arm removes to reveal separate compartments for storage of the included sewing notions: pack of needles, bobbins, spool caps, and two screwdrivers.

For a reliable, sturdy home sewing machine for garment construction, the Juki HZL 35Z sewing machine has a lot to offer at a very affordable price.
