Users Take
The Juki MO654DE gets extremely good reviews and ratings from users who find this machine meets their basic serging needs beautifully.
The most common complaints about this serger were that it comes with poor instructions and that there is no remnant bin to put your scraps of cloth in.
However, the benefits far outweigh these two very small issues and include:
- Extremely Stable – Unlike many portable sergers that seem to rock or even walk slightly when serging at a rapid speed, this machine seems to stay in one place and is incredibly stable even when running at top stitch speed.
- Fairly Easy to Thread – While several users did state that threading was difficult the first couple of times they threaded this machine, they also stated that with a little bit of practice, threading it is actually fairly easy.
- Handles Various Types and Thickness of Fabrics Well – Users state that this serger can sew everything from light weight chiffon to heavier blanket material with ease. The adjustable stitch length is perfect for making different style professional looking stitches.
Users do say that the DVD and instruction book that come with this Juki serger do not show users all the different types of stitches they can achieve with this machine.
However, they do recommend that you invest a little extra money in a good serging book that will show you how to adjust the stitch length to create different stitches.
You can also find “How To” videos on the internet that may help you get the most out of this machine as well.
