🥰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.

This is my fifth serger and, so far, my favorite. For the last five years I have mostly sewn on a Baby lock Imagine, and then a Baby Lock Evolve. These are excellent, very easy to use sergers, but very expensive. In addition, I found the Evolve, the one I used the most, had trouble going over thick seams. When the Evolve was getting serviced earlier this year I bought a vintage Juki (MO-104) and loved it but decided I needed a more modern one with differential feed and a rolled hem. This Juki has it all. It is very stable--never moves around when you're serging--has a wonderful knife set-up that cuts through anything smoothly, and has a beautiful rolled hem, either two or three thread. It doesn't have the jet air threading of the Baby Locks, but threads easily. Everything is color-coded. The tensions are also very easy to set. I haven't had any problem with them at all. I would advise you also to order a good, basic serger book because the instruction book with this Juki doesn't explain how to make the variety of stitches that are possible with it. With most of them you just have to tweak the tensions or stitch length or width, all easy to do on this machine. The electronic, high end machines (that go for a thousand dollars or more) will either make these adjustments automatically, or tell you how to do them on the screen, but I find a good serger book works just as well, and is much, much cheaper. Do be aware that this machine does not have a coverstitch, or coverhem, as it is sometimes called. It's the two or three thread stitch used to hem knits. To get this stitch you need to buy an expensive, high-end combo serger, or a separate coverstitch machine. I like having a regular serger, this one in particular, and a separate coverstitch machine, like the Janome CP 1000. This is shipped from Ken's Sewing Center, a store with an excellent reputation in the sewing community. Mine arrived quickly in perfect shape, but had there been a problem I know Ken's would have taken care of it. Really, this serger is an amazing deal. Juki is an excellent brand; I understand they make the Bernina sergers as well. Update: When I reviewed this serger it was $399.00 and was shipped by Ken's Sewing Center. I see now that the price and vendor have been changed. It is still an excellent serger but not quite as good a deal now.

UPDATE: Machine is still a bad a#%.... No issues. No problems. Literally never had an issue with tension. If I ever need to change the tensions, the basic suggestions online and in the manual have worked flawlessly. I keep her tidy with a stiff paintbrush and i also purchased a very fancy Mini attachment set for my Miele vacuum as the cheap ones just don't fit that vac. I would highly recommend buying a mini attachment set and use it instead of a mini vac as the suction power is just not enough. DO NOT USE CANNED AIR. Look into it, if you want. I just don't because my favorite sewing blog said never do it (Sewing Out Loud podcast). I would say this machine is my favorite machine, but I just purchased a Juki coverstitch and have not used it yet... lol we shall see who I love more! Newer to sewing ( only about a year), and have never ever serged a single thing before this evening. Spent hours (and hours) lusting after Baby Locks on youtube. Realized after seeing just the preowned prices that I will always buy a new car instead of a serger... and readjusted my thinking to one that matched reality. My subsequent hours of research led me to choose the Juki over the Brother, Singer or Janome. I received the machine today. I threaded it immediately. I DID watch many videos on the topic, and am a visual learner. I successfully threaded in about 5 mins, and test stitched with no issues with tension after. I will note that I have no children, excellent vision, a lot of "free time" and a large workspace. These factors may have made the whole deal easier for me, but I am telling you- this thing is unreal. I literally kissed it before I pried myself away from her to go to bed at 1 am. I sew almost exclusively with knits, and within 30 minutes of ownership, JUKI has changed my life. The feel of the machine is dense, compact, quality. Like a super expensive industrial thing. Nothing frilly or brittle or wobbly or shaky. Just - hardcore. YET- friendly and sexy and enjoyable to touch. I HIGHLY suggest you give this amazing machine a try, even if (like me) you have to spend a bit longer watching youtube videos abut it whilst you save up for her.

Fantastic machine, it exceeded my expectations, quiet and steady and the quality of the stitches is gorgeous and absolutely impressive!!! (Be aware that this machine is an American spec so it runs on 110 volts only!) so if you are using it on a 220V socket make sure you are using a converter.

De machine prachtig oogt maar bijna onbruikbaar vanwege ontbreken van gebruiksaanwijzing in het Nederlands. Wel div talen gebr aanwijzing. Dan is uitleg moeilijk.

Génial, super surjeteuse a un prix très correcte !!! Facile d'utilisation, avec une utilisation des agréable.

Fue un encargo de una amiga y ella está feliz va a iniciar su propio negocio.

Excellent overlocker. Small, quiet and easy to use. Australians please be aware you will have to buy a step down transformer if you want to use in Australia.
