Before choosing a part
Start with these documented details. Read the requirements with each answer before choosing a needle, bobbin or foot.
Not yet confirmed here: Manufacturer accessory group, Presser-foot shank type, Foot attachment, Foot holder / mount, Foot interface / generation, Bobbin type / class, Bobbin material, Bobbin diameter, Bobbin height, Hook type, Maximum stitch / zigzag width, Feed system, Bobbin loading direction. What is still to confirm →
Other names, regional versions and related models have not been confirmed here. A shared manual, product line or accessory group does not identify the machine's family.
Both systems are as printed: “HA×1 or HL×5” (PDF page 12, printed page 11) and “HLx5 or HAx1” (PDF page 31, printed page 30). No other system or equivalence is inferred, and the number of supplied needles is not printed.
Documents and page references →No bobbin class or size is printed; that is not stated, not incompatible. “TL-90 Series” is the manual’s own label and does not show which other models share the bobbin case, so no other model’s fit is claimed here.
Documents and page references →Turn the power off before taking out the bobbin case, then use the adjustment on PDF page 29 (printed page 28). The manual gives no numeric tension value, so none is given here.
Documents and page references →Turn the power switch off before replacing the presser foot (PDF page 32, printed page 31). No shank class, part numbers or third-party foot fit are stated, and none is inferred. No retailer fit is claimed for the optional parts.
Documents and page references →Turn the power off before fitting the quilting foot, which is an option, not a supplied accessory. Then use the full steps on PDF page 33 (printed page 32) and PDF page 19 (printed page 18).
Documents and page references →The caution reads: “Be sure turn OFF the power to the sewing machine and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when cleaning or lubricating the sewing machine.” (PDF page 34, printed page 33) Use the cleaning steps on PDF page 34 (printed page 33) and the oiling points on PDF page 35 (printed page 34), then test-sew. No oil other than the supplied machine oil is named here.
Documents and page references →Turn the power off first, as the safety instructions on PDF page 2 (printed page 1) also say. Then use “Attaching the needle” on PDF page 31 (printed page 30); the steps are the manual’s own and are not rewritten here.
Documents and page references →The pairs are as printed in the topstitching table on PDF page 31 (printed page 30); change the needle to suit the thread. Using a thin needle on extra heavy-weight material such as denim can break the needle, as the manual warns.
Documents and page references →Turn the power off before opening the slide plate. Then use the steps on PDF pages 22–23 (printed pages 21–22); the bobbin case comes out through the slide plate, as on PDF page 20 (printed page 19).
Documents and page references →The fix includes lubricating the hook, and the caution reads: “Be sure turn OFF the power to the sewing machine and disconnect the plug from the wall outlet when cleaning or lubricating the sewing machine.” (PDF page 34, printed page 33) Use the fix on PDF page 37 (printed page 36). The safety-device stop is described on PDF page 4 (printed page 3), with an operating temperature of 5 °C to 40 °C; no repair beyond the manual’s own fix is covered here.

Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.
JUKI prints two needle systems for it: HA×1 or HL×5, in sizes #11 and #14 in the specification table. The machine comes with HA×1 needles. For heavy-weight materials such as denim, canvas and tweed, the manual's material, thread and needle table goes up to No. 14–18 (light-weight No. 9–11, medium-weight No. 11–14).
To the right. Turn the power off first. The steps under "Attaching the needle" on PDF 31 / printed 30 then lower the presser foot, raise the needle bar to the top of its stroke, insert the new needle with its flat face to the right as far as it will go, and tighten the needle clamp screw.
JUKI's topstitching table pairs thread #80–50 with a No. 11 needle, #60–50 with No. 14 (11), #50–30 with No. 16, and #20–8 topstitching thread with No. 18. Stitch length goes up to 6 mm for topstitching.
Four bobbins come with the machine, but the manual doesn't print a bobbin class or size, so don't assume one from this book. It does say the bobbin case for the TL-90 Series is an exclusive JUKI part, to be bought through a JUKI dealer.
Turn the power off before opening the slide plate. The bobbin goes into a removable bobbin case so that it runs clockwise; the steps are on PDF 22 / printed 21 and PDF 23 / printed 22.
It comes with its standard presser foot and an upper feed presser foot. JUKI lists a compensating presser foot, a quilting foot (1/5 inch (5.0 mm) and 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) sizes), a presser foot and throat plate for light-weight materials, and a throat plate for heavy-weight materials as options; consult a JUKI dealer to buy them. Feet are held on the presser bar by the screw in the presser foot. The manual gives no part numbers.
Specifications apply to the named model and document edition. Read any setup, fabric or safety requirements with the answer.
Unplug it first. With daily use, JUKI says to oil it once a day, a few drops at each arrowed point, using the supplied machine oil (New Defrix Oil No.1 or similar), and to test-sew afterwards. The cleaning steps are on PDF 34 / printed 33 and the oiling points on PDF 35 / printed 34.
Turn the power off before fitting the optional quilting foot. The setup lowers the feed dogs and sets stitch length 0; the full steps are on PDF 33 / printed 32 and PDF 19 / printed 18.
Turn the power off before taking out the bobbin case. With #50 thread, the standard tension lets the bobbin case go down slowly when you hold the open end of the bobbin thread and shake it. The adjustment is on PDF 29 / printed 28.
JUKI gives the cause as thread entangled and caught in the hook; the fix is on PDF 37 / printed 36. If the machine stops by itself after long slow sewing or in a hot room, its safety device has tripped and returns to normal about 30 minutes later (PDF 4 / printed 3).
Use the full source procedure and its safety precautions. A short referenced answer is not a substitute for service documentation or qualified electrical/mechanical repair.
Service-manual availability and service-only procedures remain unestablished unless separately cataloged and reviewed.
Answers use this model’s own instruction manual with its stated safety conditions. Where the manual contradicts itself or gives no value, no answer is given. No hands-on testing or replacement-part fit is claimed.
An unanswered question does not mean a part is incompatible. We have not confirmed enough information to recommend it.
Other names, regional versions, production history, further specifications and documents are not fully covered here. Their absence is not a “none exist” finding.
