Juki MO-735 5-Thread Serger & Cover Hem

I'm absolutely delighted with my first serger! After considerable research, I chose this machine based on its strong reviews and its fantastic ability to handle both serging and coverstitching – a huge plus given my limited workspace. I'm still getting to know all its features, but it's performed beautifully right out of the box. Definitely a worthwhile investment!

very fast service for delivery, free shipping ,wow.the machine is very powerful, great stiches and easy to use, the instruction on the booklet were difficult to follow.I love juki product, this is my first portable serger with juki.

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 too securely.I called SewVacDirect and received outstanding customer service. The crazy part is that the whole needle plate had to be replaced -- I couldn't just replace the single needle. SewVacDirect offered to send a UPS label to pick up the machine or send me a new part. I opted for the new part since it was an easy fix, but it was out of stock. I was shipped a new one out about a week later and set down to sew again. I got through a pair of pants and a sleeve for a shirt, and the same thing happened! Talk about frustrating! This time, however, it was the straight needle that came unglued, and it had not bent on the way out. So I decided to get a little creative. I grabbed some epoxy and very, very carefully epoxyed that thing in. Voila! It now works like a charm.I would say that this is something very minor. Considering it came in an unopened Juki box and I did not pay dealer prices (who would have inspected and serviced it before I took it home), I consider this to be a great buy.

Received super quick. Great serger, so fun to sew with it

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.
