She is a clear instructor and has the right amount of "perk." I have confidence now! Thank you!

[@dianejohanson98]

I’ve wanted this serger for a very long time. I finally caught it on sale and ordered it and it arrived today. I have a great Brother serger I’ve had for years, but I hated changing thread colors because of threading the loopers. Not with this bad boy! I’m going to be using it a lot! And quiet! So much quieter than my old one. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@kayphuff]

My MO1000 should arrive today. I ordered for the threading ease and it is supposed to be quiet. Viewing your video while I wait. You are an excellent teacher and wanted to thank you.

[@kcuno-stoeffler2078]

i bought this machine in Dec 2016 just for the auto threading. I love my Juki MO-1000. Now I can sew many more things without the headache of trying to thread the machine. What a wonderful breeze it is now. Thanks for you video, I love the visual learning.

[@diannaa6189]

VERY informative video. I've owned 2 previous sergers and it was me that always trembled at the thought of rethreading my machine. I sold both and now serger shopping. I love the ease of this machine. girl you don't have to explain buying something new just because. Life is to short. thanks again

[@niksand1713]

Revisiting this video 8 years later. Recently started playing with this style of serger. Thanks Vanessa 😊

[@raineyc6794]

omg thank you, i bought this machine before Christmas and I've never even looked at how to used one of these machines. so its been like 3 months in the box... I'm feeling bad cuz I don't even know how to thread the machine, let alone use it. I've been spending the day reading the manual and being frustrated and then thought, oh I can go on line, then I saw that you have a video!!! my friend, that makes everything easy even for me! omg Its threaded! now if it works, I will be so happy! lol

[@djcarmichael3844]

Well young lady! There is only one thing to be said about your tutorial . You have an amazing talent for training . I do not usually send out frilly praises but are very good and I thank you. I bought my Juki mo-1000 a year ago and put off using it because of the usual threading issues with other machines but you made it so easy so I thank you and look forward to some of your other tutprials

[@beachboyde]

dj Carmichael, my MO 1000 just arrived today.... I can't wait... was in the middle of a project using my Viking serger, and now that's done... I'm getting ready to go in head first with the Juki... enjoy yours, I know I'm going to.... I make a lot of Vanessas bags and some other things... She is a natural at teaching and me understanding.... enjoy, Jon

Just bought one of these Juki 1000 sergers. Thanks for your video (you helped me select this). Now I hope you will demonstrate some new sewing projects/ideas using the serger. I love all your ideas. You do a great job sharing & teaching.

[@lindahumphrey9113]

I've been an avid Juki lover for YEARS...owned many commercial ones with the motor and K-leg doing awnings, marine canvas and awnings/upholstery. You sold me on the quilting 600 model and now the 1000 serger....my question is: "does it do dishes and laundry too?"................................No? Oh darn.................LOL!

[@Geauxldngurl]

I have this same serger and I love it so much. It is a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. All the time saved is worth money to me.

[@phyllisb9993]

Great review as always. Please show more tutorials on the serger. I will be getting one soon. You are wonderful Vanessa. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@raineyc6794]

i just purchased one of these and was looking for someone on you tube to show me some helpful hints, and was i ever glad to see that YOU have one and ALREADY DID one for ME. and it looks so easy as I've never ever serged in my life. I've been doing zigzag copy cat all my life, trying to make my seams look as neat as possible as to not fray. Thank you so very much! i think everything i could possibly ever want to do with my serger you just did on this video ! I'm so glad i purchased this juki, as usual thank you to my bestest teacher for me. i was worried that perhaps because i am old, haha, probably much older then your grammie, and not a computer wiz, i do have apple stuff, and did work with computers so I'm not like duh, but I'm not like you youngins. you guys were playing with them in your cribs. Thanks again Crafty genius! you make everything so fun for me. Lorraine,

[@JacK-qn4zh]

Just recieved my new machine today!!!! Not knowing anything about it...took me a little to figure out but...after a half hour...I am In LOVE with this machine!!!!!!! Thanks girly!!!!!

[@Sally-yw6ic]

I just got this serger! I enjoy your videos because you are clear and concise with your explanations and demos. Thanks!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Glad to help! Happy serging!

[@sylvievicenza179]

You are a natural, I usually stop listening because of the style or the voice of the person that is making the presentation. Bravo to you

[@deepti3]

You have a very pleasant personality. V clear voice. And you are a great teacher.

[@anitamchale9699]

Ordered mine yesterday. I can’t wait to get it.

[@nowisconvenient]

Oh I am in love..with this serger..Great demonstration CG ..I have to look up price for it and look into pricing for sewing machine..I do own Bernina on both and am thinking of selling them and upgrading..Thank you for video

[@jansalhoff8953]

Amazing video. I didn't even know Juki made an air thread serger. The price appears to be in line with my budget, too. Thanks so much for your information.

[@janagatton6084]

It’s cray cray that you didn’t have to adjust tension with different weights of fabric. I love it . Yana

[@Carol-Bell]

I own a Juki MO644-D. It cost only about $300-ish. You do have to thread the loopers yourself, but the diagram and color coding is clear, and there are several videos that explain it. It's a very good machine, just not quite as fancy as the 1000. The Juki manual is very well-written, and the Juki company has very good tutorial videos about how to do various stitches, such as rolled hems, and use of the many feet available for it. I think Juki used to make only industrial machines (they are a pretty old company in Japan, started not too long after WW2), but then they started making machines for the home. If you want a nicer machine but can't spend much, this is a good one to get.

[@anjaayla80]

Do you think that it would be a good machine as your first serger?

[@Carol-Bell]

+anointedhands I wrote that comment 7 months ago, and have since bought a Babylock with automatic threading of the loopers. If you can afford one, you don't need top of the line, they are all good. I suggest you find a video of how the Juki threads, and a video of how the Brother 1234D (the numbers might be wrong but you'll find it) threads, and then decide. Craftsy has a class by Amy Alan on basic serging, and she shows the Brother, too, as well as how to do several things on a serger. You'll be surprised at what you can do on a serger!!! Way more than just seams!!!

[@anjaayla80]

Gerrie Louden thank you for your swift response. I saw the brother, but the juki seemed better in quality. I'm taking a serger class in a few weeks. I was just nervous.

[@Carol-Bell]

I don't blame you! At first when I got the machine home and looked inside it where you thread the loopers, I thought, "oh dear, what have I done?" But then I found several video tutorials, including from the Juki website, and things started to make sense, and I learned to thread it. You can do this:)

[@lindasherman8036]

You are a terrific teacher! Thank you.

[@tias.9044]

I am liking that juki serger! I haven't purchased one due to the confusion of threading. I'm disabled so any less confusion is the best!

[@marinaki47]

great review! thank you so much! I've purchased this serger and sewing machine DX5 cause of you! Appreciate you share your knowledge! greetings from sunny Greece!

[@lyndescheffer7230]

To get your waste tray to attach better, open your serger door, attach waste tray, then close door with waste tray attached. Easy peasy. I struggled for 3 years to get it to fit, then took a Juki class and found this out!

[@phyllisb9993]

Wow...thank you Vanessa. Threaded it perfect the first time with your help. I love this serger ♥️. Took yourSuggestion and bought to sweet girl a few weeks ago. Finally had game to take it out and play a bit. My sewing machine is in for a spa day/week ha ha -so I have some time to practice with my new best friend (Juki mo1000) Just love it. Please do more tutorial with this baby soon. Thank youVanessa and aTimm at Sew mini Things you were both wonderful help.

[@anneostsee2764]

Just ordered mine, can't wait to have it home and to try it out. Thank you for your -as usual- really good explanation, greetings from the Netherlands

[@pennycam]

Great demo Vanessa, I bought this serger too a week ago and love how easy it is to use and sews great. more videos please.

[@iaragarcia6993]

Thank you for this video. Thanks to you I was able to figure it out what I was doing wrong and now I am using my serger.

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Glad to help! :)

[@ljwilliams755]

great, informative presentation. You're my new go-to for cool stuff!

[@ruzziasht349]

Great video! great presentation - if you use "overlocker" in your discription I am sure you'd get many more views, overlocker is the word the rest of the world use for surgers.

[@monaraejenkins3866]

Great review! Left me without any questions! Thanks!

[@thenewalex]

Hi! Thank you for your video! I own an MO735 and would never exchange it for this one, even though it has the automatic threader and it's a juki, and I'm sure the mechanic is very good. Though, the fabric cutter is attached at the bottom, any previous serger that I owned with this feature didn't work well on heavier material, and the blade wears out easily. Personally I would forget about the automatic threader, which saves you just a couple of minutes (Juki sergers are very easy to thread), and go for those other models which have the industrial cutting method (the cutter is attached to a lever at the side).

[@saraaronzon4562]

My juki is difficult to thread.

[@cocom6170]

Oohh wow very nice! How exciting! I can't wait for your new tutorials.

[@allergiesrusdb]

Great video review, thanks! I swore I wasn't going to watch it because I knew what would happen. Let's just say my old serger is now for sale! 😜. Great video, and videographer! 😊

[@marywhite4857]

Lovely clear explanation, thank you so much. Do you have a video showing how to put away the thread stand down or away for travelling or storage? The plastic cover won't go over as is, and the telescopic loop thingy is very vulnerable to damage as it sticks up.

[@billsalvey]

actually the thread air was originally made by babylock, they called it extraordinAIR threading...juki only has it now because bablocky sergers are made in japan by the juki industrial sewing macine company.

[@bbrosser694]

Thank you for sharing the details!

[@pattichannel6399]

Looking at purchasing a new serger. Thank-you soo much for your video! They really help.

[@FortheLoveofOrganizing]

So helpful! Thanks for passing along.

[@GenXDesigns]

I like this serger! Thanks for reviewing it like this.

[@frenchstamper]

would love to see some sewing demos with your new juki serger. How about a tshirt made with it ? that would be fantastic. Hugs from a french crafty gemini.

[@renukapatabandi3834]

Great demonstration

[@sosalikkutour4442]

Wow I love this video, thanks for sharing.

[@JessicaFlores-kp1fd]

I know this is an older video but any chance you've made one showing how to change the blades? I haven't had much luck finding a video with those instructions.

[@lauria5040]

What a clear demo and instruction

[@InLawsAttic]

Incredibly helpful and well explained, thank you so much!

[@Tabascopeppers]

Hey gal, can you show us your current craft room? We would love to see an updated tour.

[@tonit3946]

Just purchased this machine because of you. You gave a great demonstration thank you for making me spend over 2000.00. Mwah 😘 No I needed one .

[@gailmartinez830]

Great video , looking for a serger that’s easy to thread love this thank you for very good camera angles and easy to follow instructions... how do you do a rolled hem?

[@applelover53]

Hi, thank you I love my MO1000 it is a dream to thread, I used to hate threading my old husqvana, it was so temperamental. As you say the Juki is a lovely stitch quality look forward to seeing some serger tutorials always looking for more ideas. Thank you.

[@billsalvey]

applelover53 :) wait until you buy a babylock.

[@harplover1]

Bill Salvey Why, is it that good? Isn't it a brother sewing machine? I like my Pfaff very well, for what I do, which is small quilts and baby blankets

[@billsalvey]

harplover1 it is a epic machine...no jams, no fiddling around with tensions..all u have to do is sew..the machine adjusts the tensions and every thing...honestly, it is one of the BEST investments i have ever done as far as a sewing machine/serger goes. on a side note no, it's not a brother nor are they owned by brother..they are actually owned by (i believe) the tacony company.babylock sergers are made in japan by the juki industrial sewing machine company

[@Carol-Bell]

Bill Salvey I heard that Juki and Bernina are related... The Babylock and Brother are under Tacony, still owned by the same family that started the company, I think, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Husqvarna, Pfaff, and Singer are all under the same company umbrella. All of the above machines are made outside the U.S., mostly in China and Japan.

[@billsalvey]

yeah, the babylocks sergers are japan both of mying say made in japan...i think the pfaff are german though...i think the husky is tawain...

[@mandrakeholmquist9902]

Thanks for the great review! I am looking at this machine to buy and I think you just sold me.

[@LouRao]

Excellent video. I noticed no replies to some of the comments referring if you still have the serger and using it? If yes, how is the serger doing since this review? Thank you

[@marylong8113]

Love all your videos. Could you please recommend a single needle regular sewing machine? I’ve had mine for almost 30yrs, it’s been a good one (kenmore), but it’s been giving me so much trouble. I’ve had it serviced, but still so many issues. It’s very frustrating to spend more time on sewing machine issues than a sewing project. I’ve been looking, but there are so many, it’s overwhelming, I highly trust your opinion. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@josephine5809]

Oh wow, you sound just like Stacey Dash. Great tutorial, thanks!

[@cierrafarmer3246]

Can you do a video with more layers of fabric. Like 4 layer

[@brandijacksonwellness]

This beautiful machine looks abso amazing!

[@debrad5783]

Hello, and thank you for all your tutorials. If you had a choice between a Brother 5234PRW or a Juki MO-654DE which would you choose and for what particular reason? Thanks :)

[@withlovestephaniedenise7024]

I own a Singer serger. It's a pain to thread!!! I'm going to buy a Juki. Thanks

[@4susierae]

I really like your videos. Do you have a video for a air threading coverstitch machine?

[@grigor_karagozian6931]

could you do a video on juki mo-2000 please

[@dical2717]

Can you please do a video on sewing seam allowances on this serger. On your recommendation I just purchased this machine. Thanks

[@terryivey5374]

Nice machine :) love mine! I realize how busy you are with projects taking you in all directions, but sort of leave us out. Could you do some serger projects using this machine?

[@fmjfrazier]

I have a question Vanessa, hopefully you can help. If your air thread serger is already threaded how do you change the threads.

[@babyblue7798]

This is 5 years ago. Do you still have it and still like it? Is there a newer model now? Thanks

[@goldymyear]

Wow, the coolest serger.

[@shelleyaw123]

Can you disengage the blades to join two pieces of fabrics in a mock flatfeld type seam

[@iaragarcia6993]

Just got this serger. Can’t get it started.

[@cdosby43]

Do you still have this serger? How has it worked for you? I'm thinking of getting one.

[@ebbram9879]

Excellent tutorial, thank you

[@amyanderson380]

Are you still loving this machine? Any issues with the air threading feature? Debating on either this one or the Juki MO-104D - which doesn't have the air threading, but is 1/2 the price.

[@monsooniphone]

Right getting one next week mines just pack up.

[@mariagoumas6135]

I love this n I have Viking h class 2000s serger nice but I can't thread it cuz I have bad Arthritics

[@nancyhilderbrand488]

I would love to get a serger that threads with air.

[@ghadeerbazzi9919]

It's awesome I love it great channel! ☺️❤️

[@jani65675]

CG don't you think this machine does a more sturdy stitching? More even etc?

[@BIGKLEE]

Thank you for your knowledge

[@DeannaMaurice]

Looks like a great machine

[@queenk8248]

I have this machine and I love it

[@ttufugu]

OMG I like this machine especially that basket, it is gorgeous idea.

[@AnnD135]

What if you want to do a single layer of sunbrella? Will it need adjustments?

[@elizabethfrancois2344]

Hi is there a difference between a serger and a cover stitch or can I buy a cover stitch and use it to serge also

[@JudiJudeJude]

Hi!! Do you still have this server? How is it doing? ☺️ Thank you 🥰

[@shinjudojo7675]

Hi there, Thanks for the great review! I've never owned a serger before, and I was watching your reviews of both the Juki and the Janome machines. I love the idea of the automatic threader on the Juki, but I also like the ease of changing settings on the Janome. You don't mention how to change settings on the Juki... How easy/difficult is it? As an experienced sewer new to serging, which machine would you recommend? Which is more important, ease of changing settings, or ease of threading? Also, how reliable are both machines for the long run? Thanks!

[@ladyrevivalstudio]

i love your videos! you are awesome!

[@damiandptio7836]

Can this machine sew trough thicker fabrics, like layers of denim?

[@bradleydavidgood]

great job thank you!

[@janpytlarz4180]

Thanks Vanessa, do you have local Juki service, and if not, how do you service it? I know it may be new to you, but you know eventually.... also, love your eye makeup, do a video on that too! : )

[@debbiestuttgen1825]

Did you show how to change to a rolled hem?

[@pamelaeaves1852]

Thank you, love the tutorial.

[@encarnacionada2]

I'm a beginner purchased a juki Mo-50e Serger now question: Are the set of different kind of foot are the same to fit all sergers

[@deborahschultz5142]

Juki MO 1000 video was very helpful. I just purchased and still have questions. I would like to surge rounded edged quilted placements and would like to know if the rolled hem is the most decorative and appropriate. Do you switch off the upper looper converter to do a rolled stitch? Thanks

[@Chi9ja]

does it do flat seams, can it sew & serge like some other sergers do? thanks for the video

[@SamanthaDo]

Looks great!

[@bonnieparr3502]

I've had a Babylock serger with air threading for years. I knew that the air threading patten was expiring and other manufacturers were going to start coming out with aur threading. My question is how does the Juki compare to Babylock in features such as differential feed and tension settings? With a Babylock tension settings are internal, no need to set. i had a Juki serger in the early 1980s and the tension settings drove me nuts. I know Juki is the industrial choice for sergers, wondering if yours is a viable chouce over my Babylock Evolve that is 6 years old.

[@sandydarty7465]

do you have any problems with the tensions?

[@debbiestuttgen1825]

could you compare the Babylock serger to this? This is cheaper, but it doesn't have the self adjusting tension. I .would really appreciate the comparison

[@michaeltexeira6185]

BABYLOCK BETTER ,, DE FIRST AIR THREADER, NEVER BREAKS DOWN,

[@SewNaturalDane]

Awesome video!!

[@doloresmenotti6305]

Salve, si può avere la traduzione in italiano? Grazie

[@Sewing556]

Is this still considered the best Serger to purchase?
