Follow along below for a rundown of what Alba covers on today’s JUKI Tip!
Hello all my JUKI friends, my name is Alba and I am a trainer for JUKI America. Today I want to share with you one of the newer JUKI surgers and I’m going to be talking about the MO-2800. I’m going to go over some of the key features in that made me fall in love with this machine.
First of all,l you may notice that there is a knee lift on the machine. What the knee lift does as you’re sewing, is it raises and lowers the foot, which can be really handy when you’re working with corners or any other areas.
The MO-2800 is a two, three, and four-thread serger and it has that easy threading, our air thread capability. That means with a push of a button, and a jet of air, your lower and upper looper are instantly threaded.
I also love the fact that my tools that I require for the serger also have a spot and a home right on the inside cover.
One of the safety features in their machine you’ll notice is that the machine will not run if the front storage door is open or the foot is up. Isn’t that just absolutely wonderful?
Now, the one feature that I fell in love with, I’m going to be I’m going to be honest with you, is that needle threader. Now, in the video, I’m just going to turn the machine slightly so you can see that needle threader, and the feature threads your right and left needle. I absolutely love not having to fuss with tweezers, a magnifying glass, or getting an extra pair of glasses to thread my needles.
Now the other feature I want to show you is going to be a little bit difficult to show but hopefully you will be able to follow along in the video. I have a stitch width adjustment where I can move my knife to the right and to the left. Normally that would be the only way to adjust your stitches, but on the MO-2800 I have an independent adjustment to also move my stitch finger independently of my knife. This really allows for perfect stitches, especially on those super fine delicate lacy knits that I find such a hard time getting that perfect stitch on. JUKI has thought of it all!
Now a rolled hem is something that I do and this machine handles a very sheer fabric, to my home deck fabrics, so it could handle a wide variety of fabrics. But when I switch to a rolled hem, I have this quick easy tweak, that allows me to get that picture-perfect rolled hem as well, which you can see in the video.
Now that I’ve gone over some of the features on the MO 2800, please reach out to your local dealer and get a really nice look at this machine and test it out for yourself. I think you’ll love it as much as I do. Until next time, bye-bye!
