The sewing machine is an almost professional model with many possibilities. This does not mean that it is complex to use, but it does require a little time to master. You will need several working sessions to get all its possibilities.
Nevertheless, the explanations given in the manual are clear and fairly comprehensive. But the very large possibilities of adjustments are enormous. You will have to spend time on the control panel to unravel it.
Once you understand the stitch selection system, how to adjust them and put them into action on the machine, there is not too much difficulty in reproducing it.
People who have already used good-level electronic sewing machines will be less confused, but more beginner people could be lost. Beginners are not too the target of this kind of product either.
The machine can make up to 900 stitches per minute. This is not too slow for semiprofessionals, and beginners can easily catch up too with this speed level as it comes with speed control. You can set the machine to sew at just 80 SPM at the lowest speed settings.
The JUKI HZL-F300 sewing machine is exceptional in terms of the number of stitches offered. It has up to 106 built-in stitch patterns.
In addition, it also has functions such as automatic thread threading, a free arm, very simple and automatic thread tension adjustment, the possibility of working with an overlock machine, and stitch adjustments in length and width.
Asides from its 106 stitches, the machine offers three different fonts, decorative stitches, and 16 kinds of buttonhole stitches. This sewing machine fully justifies its reputation as a professional machine with such an array of preset stitches which are automatic and electronic sensor controlled.
Being a computerized machine, the Juki HZL-F300 has a large liquid crystal display that measures around 33 mm by 66 mm. This display screen that can be touched ensures an easy selection of your patterns.
The sewing machine comes with a double LED lamp that helps light up your workspace. Working on the machine is efficient and safer thanks to the super bright LED seam that does not produce heat. The LED lighting perfectly illuminates the needle and sewing area. This makes overnight projects a possibility.
