Key Specifications

Main Features

• Lay-In Tension System: Unlike traditional tension dials that require you to "thread" the disc, you simply lay the thread into the slots. This system is faster, more intuitive, and ensures the thread is properly seated between the tension discs for consistent stitch quality .

• Automatic Lower Looper Threader: A signature Juki feature that saves significant time and frustration. By pushing a lever, the lower looper threader mechanism pulls the thread through the eye of the lower looper automatically, eliminating a difficult and fiddly step .

• Adjustable Differential Feed: This feature uses two separate feed dogs to control the fabric's movement under the presser foot. It is essential for preventing wavy seams on stretchy knits and preventing puckering on lightweight fabrics. The ratio is easily adjusted with an external dial .

• Built-In Rolled Hem: You can switch from a standard overlock stitch to a beautiful rolled hem without changing the stitch plate or presser foot. This is done by simply moving a lever, making it ideal for napkins, scarves, and delicate hems on lightweight fabrics .

• Retractable and Adjustable Knives:

  • Retractable Upper Knife: The upper knife can be disengaged and moved out of the way for safe and easy threading .

  • Adjustable Lower Knife: The cutting width can be finely calibrated, allowing you to control how much fabric is trimmed off before the stitch is formed for a perfect edge .

• Color-Coded Threading Guides: The threading path for each thread (upper looper, lower looper, left needle, right needle) is clearly marked in different colors on the machine, simplifying the threading process .

• LED Sewing Light: Provides bright, cool illumination of the sewing area for better visibility and comfort during extended use .
