Greetings from the Isle of Wight, UK 👋. This is absolutely the best overview I’ve seen for this machine. I’ve been considering buying this model for a while and your video has made up my mind to get it. You have such a thorough but relaxed manner of presentation which made the whole thing as enjoyable as it was informative. Thank you !
He is a marvelous teacher! This is the 5th video ive watched explaining these types of machines and finally thanks to this video , I finally understand ! I’m very thankful for the help:)
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this lengthy video in great detail. I've watched this video three times, and it is the best well-explained video on UA-cam for this machine.
Wow finally a demonstration that covers all the technical features, thank you. I’ve been curious about Juki as their coverstitch has many fans. Thanks for a fabulous informative video.
absolutely superb demonstration. I bought my Juki overlocker about 3 years ago and have lost my English instruction manual. Don't speak French well enough to read the foreign language manual. I have been unwell for about 2 years and looking forward to getting back into sewing but definitely need my serger. I have saved this video which I will no doubt watch again but it has given me a lot of confidence to get started. I don't know if I can buy or download a manual but if not I will be able to watch you and look at the diagrams in my French manual. Thank you very much for this. Take care and have a happy Easter, Maureen.
Thank you for your video. I have this Juki over locker and it is marvellous. I have had two previous over lockers. And Juki I highly recommend. Please keep you videos coming they are extremely useful. Thank you Eileen.
Fabulous,I’ve had a machine for a while,and have lost a little confidence along with all instructions and books that came with it. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I am looking forward to getting back into it,
@TheMaggiepye Thank you for watching our video. To help you as well, here is a link to the instruction manual for you: www.juki.co.jp/household_en/serger/pdf/40166594_MO-2000QVP_EG_20150901.pdf
Your wonderful explanation has helped me a great deal just now. I have the MO 1000 and I had to buy the machine because I have recently Become visually handicapped in both eyes. Therefore reading instructions is difficult and your help much appreciated thank you!!
First I thought: Why no negative voting on this video. After 39min I Knew why. Absolutely great description and helped me in making a buying decision. Thank you so much!
Your videos are simply the best and I refer to them frequently. Thank you! I purchased my Juki MO-1000 shortly after it came on the market, and I absolutely love it. Taught myself how to use all the various feet with much success. However, suddenly the machine will not make a chain, not making any stitches at all. I have cleaned it, put brand new needles in it, rethread from start to finish at least five times-nothing works. It is, however, running smoothly and quietly. Gary, what could be wrong?
Hi Debbie, are you in Australia? You could give us a call on 1800 000 360. How long since you have had your machine serviced as it sounds like possibly the timing is out?
Thank you so much for this Gary . I have the a twenty year old Imagine by baby lock . If I had to replace it this is the machine I would buy . Very tempted . Great tutorial.
Great Video. This totally sold me on buying a serger. I'm sort of new to sewing. Basically, a fake it till I make, but want to make dresses for my toddler. This will make them go quick
Hi Gary. Your videos are absolutely fantastic! You are so clear and engaging in the way you present these videos. I have the MO-1000 and love it, and was just interested to see how they differ from each other. Looking forward to your next video. Karin. 😊
Loved your video. I have this serger and love it. Your video was a nice refresher even though I have had mine a few years. I was looking for a video on the piping foot for this serger. I do a good amount of home decorating projects and believe it would save me time. I have been applying piping with my sewing machine then serge seams. Would piping foot allow me to do in one step? I typically use 5/32 piping.👏🏻👍🏻
@dalenekitslaar7233 Thanks for watching and we are glad you found it helpful! Here is a video link for you about using the piping foot: ua-cam.com/video/ukuDXy4Re9g/v-deo.html
Amazing video. I never would have figured out many things about my Juki without it. However, I disagree that the instruction manual is clear, and I am really upset that I made a rookie mistake of pinning my fabric the way I would with a sewing machine and it broke the knife. I recommend the video, not the machine.
Hi Pat, thanks for the vote of confidence in the video. Instruction books don't gel for everyone - if they did I wouldn't be making videos I guess. Don't be too hard on yourself for running over a pin, it's an easy mistake to make. Enjoy the machine however as it is an excellent high quality overlocker and definitely easier to use than most.
Hello, thank you for this beautiful video, good explanation... 1 point: the left needle thread must be placed in the left side below, left section, you did both in the right one😅Kind regards from the Netherlands.
@saskiaeradus3551 Yes well spotted and it is important to put the thread in the guides as it minimises issues with the threads. We also recommend you follow your manual to get the threading correct every time. Thank you for your feedback!
I already have a Juki TL-18QVP and now am interested in purchasing an overlock. I just need to now it the instruction manual has a Spanish section and or if it brings a tutorial disk. Thank you.
@nolaseal3224 Thank you for watching our video :) The MO-2000QVP is an overlocker only, it can not do coverstitch. It can do a flatlock if that is what you are after.
Hi Gary, on the cutting width dial, can you please tell me what the blacked out numbers mean - this is something I have never understood. And thanks for a great video.
The numbers can be a little confusing. They do aim to represent the distance in mm from the cutting edge to the left or right needle - hence the varying numbers. My advice is to start at 3.5 setting and adjust as per the user manual.
@ellenstrawman653 On page 34 of your manual it goes through how to change your knife. However sometimes it is best to take it to a Sewing Machine Techinician and getting them to do it. Thank you for your great feedback!
Hi Gary, I have just unboxed my new Juki MO-2000 QVP. Can’t wait to get stitching. This might seem a silly question, but the name QVP , states Quilt Virtuoso Pro. Are there stitches which can be used , with blade up, for quilting? Or is it simply the name?
@springstulip4093 That is great to hear - enjoy your sewing on your new machine! Yes the QVP is just the name but you can piece on an overlocker to create a quilt top if you so wished :)
Thank you for your very informative video. I love my Juki MO-2000QVP. I’m having difficulties threading a woolly nylon through the upper looper. It won’t seem to grasp it through the air control. Do you have any tips or suggestions for me on how to thread the upper looper with wooly nylon?
Yes it is a great overlocker, unfortunately we don't have a turtorial on how many thicknesses it will sew. This is usually determined by what fabric you are sewing with.
Hi Dora, thank you for your feedback. You can see videos on the feet for the Juki overlockers on the Juki UA-cam page: JUKI® HomeSewing SG Glad you enjoyed it!
I just purchased a MO-2000 (in America) after watching your video. I’m loving the machine, but I’m worried about the “oiling” of it. The manual is very unclear about the parts that need oiling. Where exactly do I need to drop oil in this machine. Thanks again for your videos, I’ve been learning a lot from you!
Thank you for your message. We are glad you love your new Juki MO-2000QVP. I had a quick look, and you are right. The manual is pretty unclear on the part that needs time-to-time oiling. However, we know these machines well, and the shaft of the upper looper needs a drop of oil. I would love to attach a photo, but I can't on here. If you email us, I can take a photo and show you properly.
@@EchidnaClub yes, I went over a pin. The knife hook part sheared off. Then the knife up and down feature wasn’t working. It’s now gone into a Juki dealer
Awesome video! I’m new to the overlocker world, so forgive me for the silly question, but is there a particular purpose/application for each of these stitches? Thanks for the video…I learned a lot :)
Overlockers are great at finishing and constructing garments. It will neaten the edge nice and cleanly so it does not fray. The rolled hem is great on finer material such as scarves and chiffon.
Hi, I recently purchased this machine and have never used an overlocker before. Your video was very informative. One question, how do I work out seam allowance on this machine? Thanks
Hi Margaret - there are markings on the needle plate with seam allowance, but I tend to use the foot as my guide. I would suggest doing some test stitching and then measuring so you become familiar with the width of the overlock. Then you will have a a good understanding once you start creating!
Your video encouraged me to buy this Juki air thread overlocker and I’m really pleased with it. Great informative video. I do have a problem though: I recently used it to sew some fleece and unfortunately one of the loopers is now blocked. Is there anything I can do? I e tried using the thin piece of wire that comes with it.
@@EchidnaClub yes I’ll take it in on Thursday. I was hoping to do some work with it over Christmas but I’ve managed on my sewing machine. thank you for your response.
@@EchidnaClub they don’t know yet but are trying and think the thread has wrapped itself around the mechanism . It’s a new machine 3/4 months old so if they can’t it should go back and be replaced.
Hello I haves Judi 1000 and my lower looper not getting threaded all the way it s laying under the lower looper part it’s noe lining up with the hole. Lower looper resting on jet part.I bought this today second hand thank you
@GeoffreyScheid Can you explain a little more about what you are sewing, what thread you are using and what needles you have in? We can try and help you.
Does the MO-2000 have a seam allowance guide? I found an after market one, but it doesn't appear to work for this model. Thank you for the thorough demonstration. I want to replace my My Lock Janome 134D. You can probably hear me crying when I thread it. :) So far, the Juki 2000 is the one I am leaning toward.
Hi Michelle, no there is not a seam allowance guide available for the Juki MO-2000QVP. The Air threading alone makes up for it I am sure :) You can always give us a ring on 1800 000 360 for any more information :)
I was sewing on my juki MO 2000 and a silver piece fell off. It still works but I don’t know where it fell from. It seems like it was some sort of thread guide. Can you help me figure this out?
Hello! If you are in Australia you can call an speak to one of our technicians on 1800 000 360. If you live outside of Australia we would recommend contacting the store you have purchased your machine from for assistance.
Hi Debby have you tried rethreading your machine and pulling a long tail for the threads? Here is the threading video to assist you if you need it ua-cam.com/video/Ai6R1Kcco64/v-deo.html&ab_channel=EchidnaSewing
Bonsoir Merci pour cette démonstration. J'ai acheté cette formidable surjeteuse. Un CD d'instructions est joint avec cette machine, mais les explications sont uniquement en anglais. Alors, pour moi, même si mon anglais est médiocre, j'arrive à comprendre. Mais je trouve dommage qu'il ne soit pas possible d'avoir des CD avec un choix diversifié de langues.
I want to sew denim- and would be flat fell, will this model do the 6 layers of denim? Which is better the MO1000 or this one? Thanks for such a great review!! Subbed.
Yes it will sew through 6 layers and the only difference between this machine and the MO-1000 is the display screen. Great machines and easy to thread!
Thank you for the great demonstration. Is there a Juki model similar to this that does either a combination of overlock and cover stitch or just overstitch only?
There isn't a combination Juki similar to this model. Most of our customers prefer to have the Juki Coverstitch seperate so they quickly transition from the overlocker to the coverstitch, rather than having to stop and rethread.
@bethannbarnes5849 Just a few questions for you - Have you had a needle break? It could be a timing issue. Have you threaded the machine from Right to Left?
@@EchidnaClub I haven’t had a needle break. I took them out to see if they were bent but they seem fine. Yes, threaded from right to left, check all tension knobs, differential feed, dusted it. I have never used a serger before this purchase. I did change needles as sewing Jersey knit, but it worked fine yesterday until I decided to change thread color. Ugg. Thank you for answering so quickly. I love all your videos.
What fabric are you sewing on? Is it a 4 way stretch or a normal knit fabric? How long have you had your machine? We do provide help over the phone if you are in Australia?
@@EchidnaClub cotton (95%)lycra (5%)jersey knit. It is all I have ever seen on with the serger. Unfortunately, I do not live in Australia. I understand if you are not able to assist.
Hi Sonia - you only need to oil the upper looper shaft & busch. We recommend using this oil pen for the job! www.echidnasewing.com.au/superlube-precision-oil-pen-7gm
@@EchidnaClub I thank you for your reply yes I already did but the closest retailer is in Houston and I leave in Brownsville and they don’t have any it was discontinued. Thank you very much but if you know where I can get it please let me know.
You are a fantastic instructor, and the video was amazing! Thank you so much!😀😀

Hi John, start from scratch and rethread. If this doesn't help, please ring us on 1800 000 360
EXCELLENT 🥰
Thank you! Cheers!
A closer look at the Juki MO-2000QVP with Gary | Echidna Sewing
Thanks for your feedback
I get a good stitch without fabric but when I put in the fabric it's a mess???
@GeoffreyScheid Can you explain a little more about what you are sewing, what thread you are using and what needles you have in? We can try and help you.
Does the MO-2000 have a seam allowance guide? I found an after market one, but it doesn't appear to work for this model.
Thank you for the thorough demonstration. I want to replace my My Lock Janome 134D. You can probably hear me crying when I thread it. :) So far, the Juki 2000 is the one I am leaning toward.
Hi Michelle, no there is not a seam allowance guide available for the Juki MO-2000QVP. The Air threading alone makes up for it I am sure :) You can always give us a ring on 1800 000 360 for any more information :)
@@EchidnaClub I'm in the US, but a trip to your store sure would be fun!
I appreciate your videos.
Thanks Michelle :)
Can you comment about where to oil it?
In the maintenance section of your manual, there is a diagram of where to oil your machine.
I have this amazing machine, however it is very fast, even on kightly pressingthe foot pedal. Is it possible to slow it down in settings ?
The foot pedal is the only way to regulate the speed on this overlocker.
I was sewing on my juki MO 2000 and a silver piece fell off. It still works but I don’t know where it fell from. It seems like it was some sort of thread guide. Can you help me figure this out?
Hello! If you are in Australia you can call an speak to one of our technicians on 1800 000 360. If you live outside of Australia we would recommend contacting the store you have purchased your machine from for assistance.
Hello my lower thread second from the right is not sewing with the rest. I dont know how to fix that
Hi Debby have you tried rethreading your machine and pulling a long tail for the threads? Here is the threading video to assist you if you need it ua-cam.com/video/Ai6R1Kcco64/v-deo.html&ab_channel=EchidnaSewing
Bonsoir
Merci pour cette démonstration.
J'ai acheté cette formidable surjeteuse. Un CD d'instructions est joint avec cette machine, mais les explications sont uniquement en anglais.
Alors, pour moi, même si mon anglais est médiocre, j'arrive à comprendre. Mais je trouve dommage qu'il ne soit pas possible d'avoir des CD avec un choix diversifié de langues.
Content que la vidéo ait été utile ! Peut-être écrire à Juki et demander une traduction de votre CD ?
I want to sew denim- and would be flat fell, will this model do the 6 layers of denim? Which is better the MO1000 or this one? Thanks for such a great review!! Subbed.
Yes it will sew through 6 layers and the only difference between this machine and the MO-1000 is the display screen. Great machines and easy to thread!
@@EchidnaClub Wonderful! Do you have a store in the USA? Or shipping there?
What is the difference between an over-locker vs a serger?
An Over-locker is a Serger :) The name Serger is American, whereas here in Australia we call them Over-lockers :)
Thank you for the great demonstration. Is there a Juki model similar to this that does either a combination of overlock and cover stitch or just overstitch only?
There isn't a combination Juki similar to this model. Most of our customers prefer to have the Juki Coverstitch seperate so they quickly transition from the overlocker to the coverstitch, rather than having to stop and rethread.
What do you do if both needle threads don’t make chain/ form a stitch? Threading issue?
@bethannbarnes5849 Just a few questions for you - Have you had a needle break? It could be a timing issue. Have you threaded the machine from Right to Left?
@@EchidnaClub I haven’t had a needle break. I took them out to see if they were bent but they seem fine. Yes, threaded from right to left, check all tension knobs, differential feed, dusted it. I have never used a serger before this purchase. I did change needles as sewing Jersey knit, but it worked fine yesterday until I decided to change thread color. Ugg. Thank you for answering so quickly. I love all your videos.
What fabric are you sewing on? Is it a 4 way stretch or a normal knit fabric? How long have you had your machine? We do provide help over the phone if you are in Australia?
@@EchidnaClub cotton (95%)lycra (5%)jersey knit. It is all I have ever seen on with the serger. Unfortunately, I do not live in Australia. I understand if you are not able to assist.
And yes, 4 way stretch
What part of the machine do you lubricate or oil.
Hi Sonia - you only need to oil the upper looper shaft & busch. We recommend using this oil pen for the job! www.echidnasewing.com.au/superlube-precision-oil-pen-7gm
Will the new juki MO have a knee lift and open arm in addition to the features that the 2000 has?
Hi Kathryn, are you asking about the Overlocker or the Sewing Machine? The sewing machine does have a knee lift whereas the overlocker does not.
@@EchidnaClub asking about serger. Was told that the new model, in 2022, will have that???
@@ksojerio We currently are not expecting a new model. It may be a new machine that will be available in America.

Is this the same thing as a serger
Hi Linda Gillespie, this is exactly the same as a serger!
Hello can you please let me know where I can get a part for a husky lock700 part #45447016 Looper feed assemley please
Hi Maria - have you contacted your local Husqvarna Retailer? They would be able to let you know price and availability of your part.
@@EchidnaClub I thank you for your reply yes I already did but the closest retailer is in Houston and I leave in Brownsville and they don’t have any it was discontinued. Thank you very much but if you know where I can get it please let me know.
That is ' lightly'
Does it have instructions in Spanish?
It does have three languages in the manual:

How stupid is this version that the thread cutter is made behind？
Thank you for you feedback.
