I have a yr old Brother 1034D serger really like it now that I can thread 4 cones fast, but it's rather loud. Is the Juki MO644D quieter?

Yes mine is quiet though I don't have a brother to compare it to. I had a singer and the Juki isuch quieter

I don't havevs Singer, but I have a Janome sewing machinev& a Simplicity serger & it works with these machines. I really like the thread, it is marked Coats Astra.

I had this problem once or twice with this machine and my old Singer. (my only two machines ever). Once it was too much lint under the bobbin holder and it was fine once I really cleaned my Machine and got the little"dust bunnies" out of there. They almost look like felt. The other time, I simply had my bobbin in reversed and didn't realize it. I have already made four larger quilts and lots of small projects in the year I have had this machine. I LOVE it. Usually the problem is me, not the machine. LOL I have also learned to change needles often! Every new project or about 12-15 hours of sewing, which ever comes first.

I think it is definitely quieter than other models. I have had 2 other machines and this one is decidedly quieter, not silent but more of a medium soft buzz.

NO - I had difficulty with this machine sewing sewing on anything i wouldn't reccomend it at all. my Janome hd3000 does very well on heavier fabrics (up to a point) you really need for the very heaviest an industrial mach. i have a very good Singer industrial.

I have 3 different machines... This motor just feels stronger. All of the feet that came with this machine are metal and fit tight.... Not like any of my other machines. I can sew through 10 layers of jean fabric and go straight into 2 layers of silk without missing a stitch! :) I love it!!!

This machine is very sturdy. I went to test out the new ovation with "all the fancy features" and this machine did not pass my test. When I put the paddle all the way down to the floor it vibrated like crazy and started bouncing around on the table. The Juki MO 735 did not vibrate and move on the table whatsoever! I was pretty impressed so I ordered the Juki from Amazon and was not disappointed. That being said upholstery fabric with welting is very heavy duty and if that is your only purpose for buying a serger I would suggest an industrial Juki model that has a bit more muscle than a home serger. The industrial models are twice if not three times as fast and bigger knives to cut through the fabric it will have no problem cutting through and sewing whatever you throw at it. The Juki-MO 735 as you know also converts to a cover stitch and has a 2 thread overstitch function. Many, many different stitches and they all turn out beautiful. I sew every day and I love this serger.

no. it does not. it is a "cover stitch machine". Janome makes a very nice 5 thread serger that makes a 2 thread chain stitch while sergin. but if you want a proper three thread cover stitch, and a proper 3 thread serged edge at the same time, your only options are the BabyLock Evolution/Ovation models.

Yes, it will drive you crazy! It is very difficult to thread!!! I am a professional seamstress and have had many sergers before this one! I sold it to a friend who has worked with these machines before. Go with the one that air threads itself, and you should be fine!

If your Juki machine is a 'low shaft' these are generic sewing feet and should fit fine. I had the same type of question when I ordered them for my Brother machine. They are a great set and should serve you well. I think 'high shaft' machines are professional machines, not usually used in home environment. Good luck.

This one is super-easy! It was my first serger and I have had no problems with it. Easy to convert to rolled hem. Easy to thread or re-thread - color-coded and a graph. I definitely recommend this one!

I just purchased this machine and one of the selling points was the needle threader! I have NEVER been able to use a threader on any machine I've owned. I tried it in the store and the first time it threaded like a charm! And it has worked ever since. I LOVE the needle threader on my Juki!

Your sewing machine will make more noise than this motor, it's super quiet.

Yes. I've had mine for 2 yrs now. And absolutely love it! It also has an attachment to make circular sewing much easier. I use this machine daily! ! It gets a real workout and I've not had ANY trouble with it. I will suggest the ' Brother lock 1034D, if your in the market for a surger. Easy to thread and use. Again never a problem with it! I do routine home maintaining.

This is the 1st Janome I have ever had. I don't know what any other Janome sews like. My Janome is very noisy but it sews pretty well.

Yes. I really love this machine. Self-threader no longer works, but everything else is working fine.

My Janome Dcor sewing machine is still alive and well. However, about half a year ago I bought the Janome Craft 7700 QCP because quilting with the Dcor machine (6.5'' throat space) is almost impossible for anything larger than a baby quilt. I bought a model, which had just been replaced at a very good price. I am very happy with this new machine. It has so many more features (automated thread cutter, knee lift, throat space lighting!!, 11'' throat space [the new version has 12'' throat space but costs a lot more.] -- That is all I know about Janome machines. So far so good. Both Janome machines work like a charm. -- Ursula
