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. Review: First Time Serger User - There is a great review from a long-time serger user, however,I thought it might be helpful to give you the impressions from a first-time user. First off, I ordered the machine "used-like new" from the warehouse deals. It was $368 and it came in its original package; the only thing that was missing was the original thread. I was disappointed at first, because I was hoping to see how it was threaded right out of the factory. It still had the grey thread tangled in the loopers which made me hang my head even lower, thinking "looks like the previous owner had issues with the stitch, threading, or loopers". I bought the book Successful Serging: From Setup to Simple and Specialty Stitches in advance because I had read that the user manual is not all that user friendly. I was determined to brace the threading storm and get acquainted with the machine at once. The user manual is actually not bad at all. I managed to get the Juki threaded correctly on my first try-the key is to make sure the loopers just cross after the lower looper snaps back in place. I also made sure the tension dials were at 1 when I threaded it and when it purred to life the overlock it produced was impressive. The lower looper need a slight tweak, but that was it. The booklet has one downfall though: it does not speak about how to produce a flatlock seam; no biggie, I have the book and there are plenty of tutorials available online. I decided to change it to a 3-thread overlock and it was a breeze. Threading the second time around was even easier, and in retrospect I was so apprehensive of something that turned out to be quite easy. The knives cut through various material nicely, the machine purrs, it runs very smoothly, it does not move at all-overall my first impression is excellent. I am used to working with a bright LED light on my Brother sewing machine, something this Juki does not have. It is a regular old light source, bright, but different to LEDs. Also, something that I did not read in the description but this machine has is a thread cutter, right at the back of the presser foot. I will edit this review in a few weeks when I have used the serger more extensively. So far, my first impression as a first time user is a very good one! FYI, I am using it with regular Maxi Lock thread and Maxi Lock Stretch thread. ***Update 06/15/13*** I have used the Juki for over 4 months now, and I still absolutely love it. By now, threading has become a quick and painless effort. The knive cut through 6 layers of cotton batting and 2 layers of denim, but I was pushing the knives limit there. However, I think any home machine would be put to the test sewing through 8 layers, 6 of which are thick cotton batting. Overall I am very pleased with this Juki. The differential feed makes sewing knits an actually enjoyable thing; the switch to rolled hem is basically removing a needle and moving the small lever to the front. The tension dials work reliably as well. I now know my settings (5 for the needles and 4,5 for the loopers) and except for small adjustments here and there, it stitches as really nice overlock. Frankly, I don't think you can go wrong with a Juki. This thing really is a powerhorse! ## Features - 2/3/4 Thread serger with automatic rolled hem - Color coded threading breakaway looper external adjustment for stitch length and differential feed - Powerful knife system with dedicated drive mechanism.

This one takes a magnifier with the instructions. It arrives pre-threaded, and I suggest you take well lit photos of this with the panel open to see how its threaded. This way you can refer to them rather than the instructions, as one of the illustrations is slightly inaccurate. There is a learning curve to this, but if you are patient and follow the instructions along with your photos, you should be fine. The mistakes I've made are from the threads getting hung up at the spools. Attention to detail is a must with operating one of these, and double check the steps. This must be threaded in a specific order, or it won't work. It does work well, but takes some acclimation. Don't get discouraged. If I had the money, I would have bought a Bernina (made by Juki), or something that is easier to thread. I don't use it enough to warrant a thousand, or two, dollar investment. I got this one at a black friday deal. **Q: Will this serge through the thick side seams of denim to hem jeans?** A: Mine has. I just change my needles for more heavier weight fabrics. I have used my serger to trim the legs of my adult children’s jeans with no issues. **Q: Can you buy additional special feet for this machine. What kind of special feet?. And how expensive?** A: I can buy special feet like: Piping Foot, Beading Foot, Curved Pearl Foot, Universal Blind Stitch FootThese 8 feet you can buy with 129$ **Q: What is the best brand of thread to use with this machine?** A: It really depends on what you are sewing. I usually use the cheapest cone thread I can find and it works great. But I also use sulky thread when I want to have a fancier rolled hem. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible bargin for the money *by J***4 on March 28, 2009* This is my fifth serger and, so far, my favorite.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - JUKI MO654DE Portable Thread Serger Sewing Machine - Mandala Crafts 4 Pack of Serger Threads Cones Spools - 40S/2 24000 Yards Polyester White Threads for Sergers Machine and Overlock Quilting Sewing Machine --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/761977-mo654de-white](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/761977-mo654de-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
