JUKI · Twin needle plainsewer · Direct drive
Two rows.
One precise finish.
Create clean, evenly spaced parallel seams with the JUKI LH-3528A-7 twin needle industrial sewing machine. This medium-weight configuration combines direct-drive control with automatic thread trimming to keep everyday garment production moving.
The specified LH3528ASF7WB / SC920AK / CP18A configuration has a 6.4mm (¼″) needle gauge, a thread wiper and one-touch reverse. An excellent format for parallel topstitching on garment panels, hems and other straight-seam work.
Designed for productive sewing
Consistent spacing. Less interruption.
- Parallel stitching in one pass: two needles form two separate rows of lockstitch, keeping the distance between seams consistent.
- Medium-weight S specification: a practical choice for garment production and general twin needle sewing. Match the needle and thread to your fabric.
- Efficient seam finishing: automatic thread cutting reduces manual trimming, while the wiper and touch-back control simplify the sewing cycle.
- Semi-dry head: reduces the risk of oil marks around the needle-bar area. The hooks still require a small oil supply.
- CP-18A operation panel: accessible machine settings plus production-support modes, including a bobbin counter.

Set up around your sewing work
Tell Direct Sewing your fabric, thread and preferred seam spacing so the configuration can be checked for your application. Confirm table and stand arrangements, electrical connection, delivery and installation when ordering.
This is a parallel-seam machine, not a split needle-bar model for independent needle disengagement at corners. The optional AK135 automatic foot lifter is not specified in this configuration.
