JUKIMO654DE Portable Thread Serger Sewing Machine

🥰I love this machine🥰. It works like a charm, very smooth, with perfect stitches that meet the edge of the fabric every time. I purchased this particular machine because I had an identical serger in a different brand that never failed me for decades, in a custom drapery shop that I owned. The only thing I ever did to it was clean it, oil it and sharpen the blades for 30 some years. Then when I retired and moved, it got damaged in the move. Having said that, prior. to this, I worked for a sewing machine shop for many years, selling a bunch of different sewing machines and sergers. I was also their instructor three evenings a week teaching new owners how to use their sewing machines and sergers. A three week course that came free with their purchase. I am telling you all of this because I can honestly say I am VERY familiar with most all of the major brands of sewing machines out there, and out of all of them, having used most of them, this is the one I chose to purchase for myself. Not because it was cheaper than most of them, although it was but because I believe in buying quality and a product that you will not grow out of. But in this case I bought this serger because out of all of the machines like it, I loved the way it sewed, sounded and operated. I could literally feel the quality of this machine. It is user friendly. I would recommend it to anyone.

I've been using this for a couple of months now, and sewn about 20 garments using it. It's worth every penny for the time and effort saved VS not owning a serger. I have never had to re-thread it from scratch since it is designed for pull-through threading (except for threading the needles) But the machine opens wide and has very clear markings if you ever break a thread. There are also some very helpful YouTube videos demonstrating how to use different settings to get the large number of different stitches it can do.You will need a tiny vacuum to keep it clean.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this serger!!!! It's easy to use, not too difficult to thread, and runs SOOOOOO smoothly. It's built like a tank, and there is NO vibration on my table when I am using it. Lots of quality for a reasonable price.Highly recommend! Looking forward to a long creative relationship !!!!

The media could not be loaded. This is my second MO-654. I sold the first one because I got an industrial serger, then I moved to a smaller space and could not bring my industrial, so, I bought a new MO-654. It was fabulous then, and it's fabulous now. Never selling this one (unless I move to Europe!)Super smooth. It comes already threaded: PRO TIP. Do NOT unthread this machine when you get it, and try to rethread it. Just tie your new thread with the loose threads that they tie on the little knob on top of the machine, matching the colors in the thread holder to the colors of the front of the machine. I included a video for your review, also DO NOT adjust the tension. Working with a serger can be challenging, and Juki sends the machines to us fully adjusted so you can just start to serge. This is also the reason why they send it fully threaded. Yes, you will eventually have to rethread your machine and adjust the tension to fit your specific project (although it IS much easier to change your thread out using the method of knot feeding as described in my video rather than fully threading it yourself. It will be unavoidable at some point in your sewing life, but for now, just knot it and fee the thread through until you are forced to fully thread your machine for whatever reason). Before you willy-nilly start to mess with tension, try to sew using the pre-set tension, it may work for your project. If you are having issues, go to youtube and look at some videos about tension setting for this specific machine because once you start messing with those knobs, and until you are a pro with this machine, you will create a ton of headache (and heartache) for yourself. Over time you will learn to set the tension and to thread this thing. For now happy sewing. Juki sets it up so it's easy to ease into serging right out of the box!!
