I researched for nearly two years before deciding on getting the Juki MO735 5 thread two needle serger with coverstitch. What I found with the Juki is a solidly build mechanical machine that has all the stitches I wanted in a serger but most importantly, the quality of stitches that are superb, balanced and even. It is easy to thread compared to other brands without the jet air. The lower looper has a threading helper built into the machine which places the thread exactly where it needs to be in a hard to reach elbow of the looper. It is very easy to switch to rolled hem, a simple switch slides the stitch finger to a narrow setting, an adjustment to the cutting width, stitch length made for fast conversion. It has lay-in tension discs which aid in the ease of threading this machine. I find the standard tension setting to work for most of the stitches which means there is near zero fiddling with the tensions to get the stitches to look balanced, there is an not auto tenion featute. If I sew with heavy threads or fabric, then adjustment is necessary and to be expected. Although I have not used the chainstitch yet it's threading looks to be straight forward. Coverhem is also beautiful. At first I had trouble with threading for coverhem but that was more to operator error than the machine. The machine comes with two packs of needles. The Juki uses both household 103/705H and JLx2 needles. The household needle capacity is a huge bonus as it is hard to find the JLx2. A nice vinyl pouch with accessories comes standard including spool caps, thread nets, screw driver, and coverhem pressure foot. Also clip-on waiste bin, small tube of sewing machine oil, a pack of JLx2 serger needles, a pack of Schmetz Univeral needles and coverhem extension plate, Inside the Looper Cover there is a handy storage of tools including pack of needles, small screw driver, tweezers, upper looper converter, needle threader, and needle inserter/lint brush.If I had any critique of the Juki MO735 would be the Instruction Manual. In my research I learned this to be a problem, that the manual is not intuitively laid out. However, there is a threading chart to be found at AllBrands website, if you look at Juki mo735 there. It should have a pdf link to save and download. I found this to be absolutely essential when learning to thread this machine because the diagrams are large enough to define detail which is hard to see in the Juki manual. Once I threaded the machine a half dozen times in various stitch patterns, it was very easy to learn new threading variations. As a promotion through Juki, my machine came with eight additional pressure feet including a blind hem foot, an elasticator, gathering, beading, curve/pearl, cording, and piping foot. Normally, the pressure foot accessories at optional and cost about $185 for the entire set of 8. Maintenace is straight forward. I regularly clean away lint which accumulates easily and oiling is required in two specific places on the upper looper arm. The manual is very clear about maintenance. Finally, to get perspective, I am fairly new to the world of sergers, though have been sewing for many years. I was not in the least intimidated by this machine. As I add more hours using it, I will return to update my experience.

If you use the Clover mini iron, this is a very good accessory.It holds the iron while not in use and is much more stable and safe than just setting the iron on the board.It's pretty clever.
