Machine Manual

Achieve perfection stitch by stitch with the reliable and dependable HZL-DX5! The HZL-DX5 comes equipped with 185 stitch patterns and free motion to give you the freedom to create and design. This machine makes use of industrial technology. Juki’s “box feed” system is brought to the Juki HZL-DX5 home machine to allow you to create precise, beautiful and high-quality stitching on all kinds of fabric.

The Juki HZL-DX5 is also great with thick fabrics and layers and sews even stitches thanks to the floating function for the presser foot. This action raises the foot ever so slightly so it can glide over fabric without pushing or pulling. Buttonholes also become easier to create on the Juki HZL-DX5 thanks to Juki’s technology which marries both modern and industrial systems to create a one-step buttonholer using a sensor system. With this feature, you can create 16 different types of button holes for use on all kinds of fabrics. This machine can also be used for free-motion sewing, thanks to the ability to drop the feed dogs.

The Juki HZL-DX5 is incredibly easy to operate with quick-select buttons that include start/stop, lock stitch, reverse stitch, trim thread, up/down needle position, and auto lift for presser feet. You can also control this machine with the foot pedal since you can assign a function to the heel side of the pedal. Selecting stitches and patterns is made easy by the touch panel. The machine contains 80 stitches, with 3 alphabet/number fonts. It sews with a max speed of 1050 spm.

Box feed
Juki industrial sewing machine technology - The Juki industrial "BOX Feed" system has been brought to the home sewing machine. Our BOX Feed allows you to create perfect high-quality stitches on all types of fabrics. The BOX Feed system stays in contact with your fabrics longer for a consistent, reliable seam every time.

Evenly sews thick fabrics effortlessly

Stitch towels and other high-pile fabrics.

Float function prevents uneven seams
By pressing the float button, you can sew with the presser foot slightly raised. Raising the presser foot to float allows you to sew fabrics without pushing layers or creating uneven seams.

Sew with the presser foot slightly floated
The height of the presser foot can be set in increments of 0.1 mm, allowing delicate adjustment according to the materials.

Using the float function
The standard presser foot is used in both cases.

Not using the float function
Pressure on layers creates uneven seams.

Easily create and enjoy beautiful buttonholes with Juki's combination of industrial background and modern technology

Clamping plate
The buttonhole-sewing presser foot contains a clamping plate, so you can confidently feed fabrics by holding them between the clamping plate and the presser foot.

16 types of buttonhole
A wide variety of buttonholes are available for your needs.

Cutting width adjustment of the buttonhole
It is even possible to adjust the cutting width in 3 easy steps.

Optional presser foot pivot function
When you stop sewing, the needle stops in the down position and presser foot automatically lifts to allow for fabric movement. Sew corners or pivot with ease, and when you resume sewing the presser foot automatically lowers for continuous smooth sewing. You can also activate the option for the presser foot to automatically lift after thread trimming, which allows quick removal of fabrics.

Adjustable starting/reverse stitch speed
You can adjust the starting and reverse stitch speed between three levels: fast, normal, and slow.

Lock stitch
For the lock stitch at the start and the end of sewing, you can choose two kinds: "Reverse stitch" and "Lock stitch". If you press the lock stitch button in the middle of sewing a pattern, the machine stops after sewing one cycle of the pattern.

Direct stitch pattern selection 
Often-used sewing patterns such as straight lines, overcast stitches, and zigzag patterns can be quickly selected via direct buttons. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the touch panel.

One-point patterns
The decorative patterns can be sewn as one point patterns. It is also lovely to create an original tag by combining these patterns with the character stitches.

Character stitch
The 80 included stitch patterns contain three alphabetic/numeric fonts. Up to ten often-used patterns such as names and initials can be saved in the memory.

Corner sewing of applique
The stitch width of the needle can be set to automatically and gradually change to achieve a stitch that gives a beautiful finish even to the corner of an applique or the start / end of a line of sewing. By adjusting the width and length, you can also control the angles of your design.

Straight stitch slide plate
Simply slide the front lever to switch to a single needle hole! Sew the lightest fabrics with perfect needle permeation. The single needle plate will not allow fabrics to be pushed into the needle hole. Sew with confidence. When the single needle hole plate is set, only the straight stitch patterns can be selected.
