Powerful yet compact, the MO654DE is the go-to option if you constantly work with heavy fabrics, making quick work of thick fabric widths and multiple layers sans any damage.
Features of the Juki MO654DE Portable Thread Serger Sewing Machine
Despite the lack of a free arm, the MO654DE is well equipped to support a variety of projects, regardless of the material and type of project. Additionally, it’s a great tool for beginners and experts alike, with features that are standard yet advanced enough to encourage pushing new limits.
Stitch Options
Equipped with a 2-3-4 thread capability and automatic rolled-hem stitching feature, the MO654DE also lets you adjust the stitch length (via dials to a maximum length of 4 mm) as desired and also features an adjustable differential feed to easily handle any fabric, especially preventing delicate materials from being pulled out of shape; it changes the material’s tightness during the stitching to combat this.
To achieve the perfect rolled hem, the machine rolls the fabric’s edge twice over itself, efficiency hiding the edges. You can achieve rolled hems in two modes with the MO654DE — one, by just rolling over the hem’s end and two, by allowing an overlock stitch to increase durability.
Multi-Functional Presser Foot
The snap-on presser foot that comes with the MO654DE is multi-functional, letting you use various specialty and standard stitches, as well as attach various products such as tape, elastic, beads and sequins to your projects. However, the machine also comes with additional feet for pipping, gathering, cording and blind stitching.
In-Built Tape Guide
A built-in tape guide on the presser foot allows you to sew seams perfectly on stretchy fabrics, preventing them from losing their shape in the stitching process and supporting them by keeping the edges together.
Adjustable Heavy-Duty Knife System
The MO654DE has an upper knife run by a drive mechanism to keep things simple and safe. Knife adjustment is made easier through calibrations, ensuring consistency.
