What type of needles and thread does this machine use?

Dear Elsa, the Juki MO-735 5 thread serger uses standard regular household needles. We recommend the brand Schmetz as most dependable and it is best to always use sizes #11/75 or #14/90. Thread to be used with sergers come on cones, usually in 3000 yard and 6000 yard putups. We have had very good luck using serger thread brands of MaxiLock and Venus. Thank you - shopjoya.com

I had the same issue. The needles broke over & over and are not the easiest to change out. I ended up selling mine. Was very disappointed.

I'm sorry that I can't help you much; I haven't tried using that type of thread with any needle. I believe that embroidery needles have wider eyes, and top-stitching needles have longer eyes than the denim needles (which are designed primarily to penetrate heavy fabrics.) One of those might work better for you. Good luck!

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

If you are still wondering size 16 - 18 machine needles are the proper size for #69 thread.

I haven't tried this particular size needle and brand of thread but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use it with embroidery thread all the time. It even works well with 2 strands of thread. It's save me hours of time.

I bought the machine for my daughter. However, I do know she purchases her machine needles at JoAnn's Fabrics and from Nancy's Notions, a mail order source.

It was suppose to be easy to thread, color coded so to speak. My problem, it kept breaking needles constantly and it is very difficult to replace the needles. I ended up selling on Craigs list...Not pleased with overall perfomance.

Does your thread break at the needle, have you tried different thread, or is it the bobbins, I would try a different bobbin

This is for threading needles. You could put any kind of thread or floss in it to thread into something else.

Thread I got with mine was tan in color, i ordered an extra spool and it was black. Needle was average size no idea what size that is but it works good on heavy canvas.

What I ordered was the needle and plastic cartridge that the needle is inserted in. I had to take the very small screws out of the (I guess the head shell) and unplug the wires and replace it. A little tricky but it worked out great. Hope this helps

When you manually thread, there are two ways, be sure to thread the needle from the side facing away from you. or take the needle and thread properly and then install in your machine
