JUKI MO-735 5-Thread Serger and Cover Hem Sewing Machine

This is my first serger. I did quite a bit of research and knew I wanted coverstitch and serger together. After reading all of the reviews, I took the plunge and decided on this one.I set aside an hour to get to know it, and sought out all of the helpful YouTube videos. Threaded it up, and it was amazing. For four test seams. On the fifth go, the stitching hung for a second, and then the stitches started to look funny. Somehow, a needle from the needle plate got caught and sewed itself right it into the serged seam, bending on the way out. It turns out that those needles are glued in, and none

My wife loves it

Bought this for a Mother's Day gift a year ago. This is her first serger. Once she got past her fear of change, she loves it. So far she's only used it as an overlocker on poly-cot. Haven't quite talked her into trying the chain-stitching mode on knits. Four stars because the throttle is a bit touchy (lurches from humming and buzzing to whoa that's way to fast), and the white-on-white measuring gauge is difficult to use when one is used to the lines being on the needle plate.

I love it. Quiet, fast, no bouncing around and really pretty simple to tread. I changed out the thread colors and it took like 2 minutes. I bought this so I could speed up my garment construction. No need to sew, then surge. This serger does it all.

Received my Juki Serger day before yesterday. Have not used it as of yet. Educating myself as much as possible before attempting the first threading etc of this machine. Will say when i received my machine the little beady packet that comes along in the box was broken and all over the machine inside and out. Had to remove the bottom plate to get it out .. although there were a few stuck between the gaps where the threads go. After that was done i could not get the looper door opened .. it would not budge. Viewed a video online of the machine and the person demonstrating it pulled it open with

The instructions are very difficult to understand. I can not even get the thing to work. I think it is defective, but am unable to verify that fact. I would love to have someone contact me so I can figure out how to work this machine!

Wife truly loves this machine. She had it set up and running in 15 minutes. That being said, my wife was a professional seamstress and tailor and operated her own business. So what I am saying is if you are experienced then this machine should not be difficult to set up and operate. If you are new to more advanced sewing then it may take you a little more time to get use to. Lots of info on You Tube as well. Great machine!!!!

I LOOOVE this machine and am so happy I decided to get it. (I got a used-like new one.) Threading is not difficult at all (but you'll probably find it easier to do the first time if you google some YouTube videos and check those out before getting started.) Sewing knits is such a pleasure with this machine and I can't wait to try coverstitching as well. Very, very happy with it, and am glad I bit the bullet to finally get a serger/coverstitcher!
