Hello. I bought a used new to me sewing machine. I wanting to see if anyone might have a manual for a Juki LU 563. Would you be so kind as to take a good quality picture of the threading proceedure of machine and bobbin threading proceedure??
Send it to me via PM. I called Juki and they sent me a distorted picture of a photo copy.
My top I'm going to make is black. What color thread should I use?? I thought always ue the same color thread as the top material.Being black, I won't see the stitching.
Also, any idea on tools I can purchase used, ie. Hot knife and press and snap tools. $125 new is just crazy.
Dave.

I did post this, this morning but it must have gotten removed???? Can't find it anywhere unless the administrators moved my original post. I searched under my user name for my started threads and did not find it there either. As I told you, the PDF pictures are garbage. need someone with an actual manual to take photo of the page for me.

Okay, so I'm not losing my mind! I can't find it either, nor the response from Jayhanig, who posted the link to the proper manual. Maybe he'll come back with the link again.

THank you Jay for the reply. Ok, lets try this for the third time. As I have said before. I too can search the net and find PDF and photo copies of this manual!!! The link that you sent me, if you can make heads or tails of the pictures? You are good.
I need someone with the actual manual to take a picture of the threading proceedure of the machine and bobbin with a digital camera and PM me.
1.) There were two other question also that were not answered. What color thread do the professional use when sewing a black tonneau cover?
2.) anyone know of someone wanting to sell their Boat Canvasing Tools cheap? Ie. Hot knife and press and snap tools!

Buy a new machine and I'm sure you'll get a spiffy new manual to go along with it.

Your best bet is to locate a sewing machine service shop in your area to show you.

You want to use black thread and you will always see the stitching unless you have some magical new sewing method that nobody knows about. :)
