(More customer reviews)I researched for nearly two years before deciding on getting the Juki MO735 5 thread two needle serger with coverstitch. What I found with the Juki is a solidly build mechanical machine that has all the stitches I wanted in a serger but most importantly, the quality of stitches that are superb, balanced and even. It is easy to thread compared to other brands without the jet air. The lower looper has a threading helper built into the machine which places the thread exactly where it needs to be in a hard to reach elbow of the looper. It is very easy to switch to rolled hem, a simple switch slides the stitch finger to a narrow setting, an adjustment to the cutting width, stitch length made for fast conversion. It has lay-in tension discs which aid in the ease of threading. I find the standard tension settings to work for most of the stitches which means there is near zero fiddling with the tension to get the stitches to look balanced. There is no auto tenion feature but no big deal. If I sew with heavy threads or fabric, then adjustment is necessary and to be expected. Chain stitch threading is easy and located to the left side of the machine. Coverhem is also beautiful. At first I had trouble with threading for coverhem but that was more to operator error than the machine. The machine comes with two packs of needles. The Juki uses both household 103/705H and JLx2 needles for coverstitch. The household needle capacity is a huge bonus & JLx2 needles can be found at CTUSA, Amazon, and most Bernina Dealers. A nice vinyl pouch with accessories comes standard including spool caps, thread nets, screw driver, and coverhem pressure foot. Also clip-on waiste bin, small tube of sewing machine oil, a pack of JLx2 serger needles, a pack of Schmetz Univeral needles and coverhem extension plate, Inside the Looper Cover there is handy storage for tools including pack of needles, small screw driver, tweezers, upper looper converter, needle threader, and needle inserter/lint brush. If I had any critique of the Juki MO735 would be the Instruction Manual. In my research I learned this to be a problem, that the manual is not intuitively laid out. However, there is a threading chart to be found at AllBrands website, if you look at Juki MO735 there. It should have a pdf link to save and download. I found this to be absolutely essential when learning to thread this machine because the diagrams are large enough to define detail which is hard to see in the Juki manual. Once I threaded the machine a half dozen times in various stitch patterns, it was very easy to learn new threading variations. As a promotion through Juki, my machine came with eight additional pressure feet including a blind hem foot, an elasticator, gathering, beading, curve/pearl, cording, and piping foot. Normally, the pressure foot accessories are optional and cost about $200 for the entire set of 8. Maintenace is straight forward. I regularly, after every sewing project or every day of use, clean away lint which accumulates easily; oiling is required in two specific places on the upper looper arm. The manual is very clear about maintenance. Finally, to get perspective, I am fairly new to the world of sergers, though have been sewing for many years. I was not in the least intimidated by this machine. Btw, I discovered that Juki makes Bernina sergers and the Bernina 1300 is the equivalent model to the MO735. One can obtain a Bernina Workbook for the 1300MDA, if that is helpful. As I add more hours using it, I will return to update my experience.
One Year Later... I can not say enough good things about this serger. It has and continues to be a consistant and reliable performer. I have virtually no problems with this machine. It handles every sewing project I throw at it with ease. The quality of stitching, will never cease to amaze me. One of the best sewing investments I have made. Juki USA is updating their website, the threading chart for the 734/735 machines will eventually show up their where is should be. I have sent them emails encouraging their work. I look forward to seeing more.
