Juki MCS-1500 Cover Stitch and Chain Stitch Machine

The stitching looks professional. I've only tried on knits so far, does a great job. Great value for money. Compact, doesn't take up a lot of space. I didn't re-thread. I tied on spools of thread and pulled through, cutting thread at needles. Then thread needles. Very fast sewing, but I went slower to create straight lines. Maybe with experience i can sew faster speed. I ordered their hem foot so maybe that will help. Practice adjusting tension on scrap fabric 1st. I use Fray Check to secure stitches so they won't unravel, as I can't figure out how to pull thread through to tie off. LOVE pulling one thread--the lower looper thread-'to remove stitches! Very fast stitch removal, saves tons of time! Sews smooth, not very noisy. You have some noise as it's a machine, but not annoying to me. I watched several videos 1st before using the machine. Also joined support groups on FB which has been very helpful. I do own a serger so I wasn't intimidated by having 3 needles, and adjusting tension, differential feed and pressure. I am pushing 70 years old. If I can learn this machine so can you. Patience and persistence will help! I ordered the model 1500, but received model 1600. I don't think there are any differences. I'm guessing the 1600 is sold by non-Juki dealers???

I purchased this machine from amazon.ca, receiving it before it was promised. I have used it now for over a month and I love it! It is a great addition to my regular sewing machine and serger and is easy to use. When I had a question about an accessory, I emailed the seller who answered me back IMMEDIATELY with an answer. I would definitely recommend this machine for ordinary home use for the professional-looking touch it adds to garments.

This is a beautiful, smooth, easy to learn machine. I was torn on which coverstitch machine I wanted to get. I already had a sewing machine and a serger, so a coverstitch machine was the missing piece to have everything I needed to make beautiful clothes. Right out of the box, this machine worked perfectly. I had heard so many negatives about the Brother and Janome coverstitch machines (skipped stitches, issues with tension, etc.). So far, I have had ZERO problems with this machine. It literally feels like I am sewing through butter. It is not too loud of a machine at all. The threading instructions are so easy to follow and I had it threaded within an hour of opening the box. I am so happy I got this machine! I have had no skipped stitches, tension has been easy to set and figure out, and my clothes look great. Stretchy knit fabrics are pulled through evenly and easily. If you're unsure about buying this machine, go for it. I promise you will not regret it!

Haven’t used much, but played with it a bit. So far I am very pleased and looking forward to using this often

I was thrilled at receiving this coverstitch machine with such fast shipping. Juki is great at everything it makes. I have 3 industrial juki machines and was hesitant to buy a home machine because it might not perform as well. It does very well at a great price. I had read reviews for weeks on coverstitch machines and believe this is the best one for the money. I’m still learning it, but it is intuitive and is easy so far. The seller wasn’t the first one that popped up when I searched for this machine, but I looked at the other sellers list and chose this seller due to being a seller that sold sewing machines as a business. I avoid buying from sellers that sell everything even though they don’t know the products. Happy so far and probably wont need to contact the seller, but glad they will know what i might need when I call!
