    Loving it

    I am really loving this machine. This weekend I have made myself multiple outfits and it keeps on going. It is very easy to just take it out the box and then go. I haven't messed with any settings yet but have made a bunch of things. I am very happy my husband convinced me to get this juki and not just replace my old machine with the same model. When my regular sewing machine stops, it will be replaced with a juki tooYes, I do recommend thisThe machine is actually reasonably quiet for a serger. I am able to use it without needing to be behind closed doorsBased on how long I kept my last serger

    Excellence

    OK, the threading was a little rough for me and also I missed putting the thread through the top holes above the thread. I could’ve cut it off again and retied it, but I thought I need to learn how to do this anyway.It took a while, but I got it. The hardest part is that bottom looper right before you get to putting the thread into the lower looper hole! Look at some YouTube videos. I did and there are some that are pretty helpful.What feels intuitive to me is sometimes right when doing this. When you thread that bottom looper, you have to make sure that the thread is set so that it goes along

    A brilliant Serger Machine.

    After a disastrous year long struggle with a Brother serger (jammed fabric that needed to be pulled out which apparently resulted in internal damage to serger. Still under warranty but told damaged by user). On research I found out that this is usual for the Brother serger. So, decided to go with Juki, for Japanese quality. And I am not disappointed so far. A beautiful machine that runs perfectly. Feels sturdy and easy to thread. After years of sewing with a Singer sewing machine, a Brother (Overlocker) Coverstitcher, a defunct Brother serger, I am now a total fan of Juki. Wish I had bought th

    works well

    Would have given 5 stars but I found the last step threading the lower looper difficult. The good news is it comes threaded, so you can just do a tie off and pull threads through. Unfortunately I snaggled the threads up and undid lower looper threading so had to re-thread. Finally watched the Juki video on YouTube since the instruction book didn't really make it clear. Got it threaded, more by accident than skill, and started using the machine. Sews a beautiful 4 thread overlock, am playing with other setting settings over the next few weeks. Runs pretty quietly, and like the built in accessor

    Great serger!

    It's easy to use and sews beautifully. The reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the lighting. It's placed in a position where it casts a dark shadow under the presser foot guides making it very hard to see where your stitching line is.

    great first serger

    I'd been wanting a serger for years (decades?) and had never broke down and bought one.being home nearly 100% of the time during COVID-19, started to looking at serger options again. I spent a number of weeks looking at various options and felt this Juki machine was a great mix of features and price.I've had this now just over a month and to get used to the various stitch options, I got RGBY threads and made samples of all the stitches described in the manual. Following that, I've so far left it on a three thread (right needle, top, bottom) and have made about 50 child sized masks for the loca
