THANK YOU so much for saving me from the total nervous breakdown I would have had if I had not had your video. So clear, step-by-step, I did have to keep pausing it and rewinding a few times. But ultimately got the job done and it works. YAY! One thing I would suggest to Juki is a light inside the machine where all the little complicated parts are- I had to get a flashlight in order to see. Best video ever- I have subscribed to your pages.
Best threading video for this make and model! I have owned mine for several years yet still struggle with threading every now and then due to confusing tutorials. Now that my sewing skills have improved, I am changing my thread to match much more frequently than before. Thanks and hope you're doing well!
Great video! I teach sewing and was looking for a how to thread video for a student. Nice that you followed the owners manual by threading the blue first! Also mentioning how you end up with the lower thread above the upper looper thread. It's all about the details!
You are or have been for me, the clearest instructor to threading the Juki mo654den. I'm new to sewing, and you're my go back to just to make sure im threading correctly. Thanks
Thank you for taking such close up and clear video, and for explaining the threading process so clearly. We are practically neighbors...love the bridge in the background.
Thanks. I got my Juki today with the dvd's, however, I don't have a DVD player. So glad you did this video. The instruction manual is quite nice. I'm really excited about using this machine! I had the Brother 1034d before - this is a huge step up in quality!! I hope you do more videos on using this serger.
THANK YOU! My red lower looper thread kept unthreading and I tried re-threading the machine multiple times. I watched TH-cam videos and re-read the manual. No help! But your video is so clear and straightforward and in minutes I had my serger properly threaded. You've made my sewing much less frustrating. I can't thank you enough!
Thank you for your video. You have a very calm demeanor and easy to listen and understand your tutorial. Very concise and straightforward presentation re threading. Got it!
Un très très grand merci pour votre vidéo ! Ca fait 2 jours que je galérais avec cette nouvelle machine et grâce à vous ça y est elle est ENFIN enfilée correctement ! Mille fois MERCI, je pensais ne jamais y arriver !
Thank you so much for this great threading tutorial. I've had this serger for a couple of years and I finally got the nerve to start using it :). I hope you will have more tutorials for this serger.
I was stressing myself so much if I had hair on my head I would have pulled it out literally but I don't have hair on my head but thank you this really was easy
I've had my serger 20+ years & YOU are the only one who shows the double loop on the blue upper looper. I struggled for a very long time before I noticed it was wound twice😮 Every detail is important😊
Excellent instructional video. Very clear and concise. I did have to turn the sound off. The banjo music got to be annoying. Thank you for posting this video.
Great job of shooting this video. Good narration and no hands in the way! I haven’t used my surger in two years since I moved. Today I threaded it and tried to sew but the lower looper (red) thread keeps breaking. I get a few inches of correct serving before it breaks. I wonder if there can be a piece of thread or some lint stuck in the machine. I tried to clean it with air. Or does it need oiling? Please, you can help ?
I hope you have it working, but in case you haven't I always try and rethread (i know it's a pain!) at least twice to make sure I've pulled the thread through tight like it should be. You might try changing the thread tension too - your manual should say what the tension knobs should be at. Last resort look in your manual for troubleshooting tips!
Thank you for your video, I am looking to get a new serger. I have had a Brother for 15 years sometimes it acts up. The Juki threads different & it is time for something different.
I really appreciate how close you were able to get with your camera! I am contemplating on purchasing this model as my first serger; now that you've had it a little over a year, would you still recommend it? Thank you! :)
This is a great first serger! You would be ruined for other sergers in your future! My biggest problem with my first serger was that I couldn't sew through a lot of fabric, and with this machine it's a breeze. Very smooth sewing, I love it!
This machine is (mostly) identical to the Bernette 334DS which Juki must have made for Bernina, as the older Juki's are identical in every way. My machine is 30+ years old and still going strong. A serger is an MVP in the sewing room.
Interesting to know! Thanks! My regular sewing machine is a Bernina I got from my husband and his mother (and I chipped in too!) for my wedding! I love it!
@@craftpocalypse101 My first sewing machine was a Bernina 910 (7 stitches! and I purchased this serger with it). It still runs perfectly. I have a newer Bernina (B530), but it still only has 7.5" of space (and I quilt). I recently bought a used Juki Kirei...with 12" of space (and many nice features not on my B530), I have a good set up. I still prefer to piece on my Bernina, but the Juki knocks it out of the park for finishing the quilts. I also have a Juki coverstitch....that thing, like the serger, is a beast: a magical sewing beast.
@@notesfromleisa-land I made a small quilt but I really didn't know what i was doing, and it was mighty hard with just the bernina with that little bit of space, but i love it anyway. I hope to make more quilts one day! I have the Bernina 350 and I have zero complaints!
I just got my Juki serger today brand-new but the motor on my machine doesn’t sound as quiet and as nice as yours… do you know what causes this and how I can make it sound smoother?
ooh, that does not sound good! If it's brand new I would contact the place where you got it ASAP. Maybe it needs oiling? Should sound good straight from the box!
Okay, you said Upper Looper thread? you also didn't mention how the thread stand is put together with those metal part behind the machine? I'm barely into the video and confused. 😞
Yes, there's an upper looper and a lower looper. You will get more into that when we thread through the machine. It can be confusing i know! My first serger sat on a table for YEARS - I was so afraid of it. The back metals parts are just to hold the thread. Mine are color coded to match where you threads, so you know which thread goes where. I hope that explains more. Maybe watch once through, and then try and thread along on your second run through?
I’m really not sure. I would try to thread the whole thing from scratch and see if that fixes anything. Make sure everything is tightly pulled and everything is put back into place. Good luck!
I just got a barley used bernette for Bernina 006d and they are identical form this machine everything is identical I’m trying to figure it out I just took all the screws out and cleaned and oiled and greased the inside of it and it’s so much quieter than the brother
My upper knife wasn’t in the “down” direction and my threads weren’t “under” the presser foot/ this is so confusing for a beginner! But I will be here attempting this, eventually I will get it! Thanks for your reply.
@@partypeach1917 At least you figured it out! My first serger sat on a shelf for TEN years before I even attempted to thread it, I was so scared! You will get it!
Nice video. I have the same Juki Model and find the red thread difficult to thread. I noticed that you thread the thread differently in the beginning (the first guide). There and 2 holes for reasons I think but it worked fine with your threading, too. The official Juki video is here: th-cam.com/video/KPCOqnRj4oM/w-d-xo.html. The threading starts about 19:20.
YOUR MUSIC IS VERY DISTRACTING TO THE THINGS YOU ARE TRYING TO TEACH US. i JUST GOT MY MACHINE, AND THE TENSION IS SO TIGHT IT WON'T LET ME PULL THE THREAD THROUGH. I TRIED TO LOSEN THE TENSION, BUT IT IS STILL TOO TIGHT TO PULL THE THREAD THROUGH. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG. mY MACHINE CAME THREADED, AND I TIED THE NEW THREAD ON LIKE ANOTHER VIDEO SHOWED, AND WHEN I TRIED TO PULL IT THROUGH, IT BROKE BOTH THE NEEDLE THREADS. I FINALLY GOT THE UPPER LOOPER THE BLUE GUIDES TO PULL THROUGH, BUT THAT IS ALL THAT I CAN GET TO COME THROUGH.
I know, I know...I have learned since then to not have it so loud. As for your machine, I would start from scratch. Make sure you pull all the threads tight as you go. That's where I would start, bc that will fix most problems I have found. Good luck!
The lower looper must go over the upper looper-this doesn’t stay like this. I have threaded and re threaded this machine and I still can’t get it to serge..I am not sure what is wrong. Threading was easy..
I just bought it.. I did the tie off method but of course the thread came apart - but I followed the directions to re-thread a it just doesn’t catch.. it’s an easy thread, but it’s just not seeding for me..🤦🏽♀️
@@SewingWithMinaLolita I never liked the tie-off method. I would start again from scratch one last time. Make sure you do everything in the correct order and make sure the threads are pulled through taut. If it still is not working I would contact the place you bought it from, perhaps something is not right. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I know how hard it was for me to thread my first serger so I'm thrilled I can help anyone!😄
THANK YOU!!! No one else explained threading the loopers like you did. I appreciate this so much!!
Thank you! I was VERY intimidated by my first serger, so I was really hoping to make it easy for everyone.
@@craftpocalypse101 I've had many sergers, but the thread crossing on this model kept messing me up. Thank you again!
Thank you for taking such close up and clear video, and for explaining the threading process so clearly. We are practically neighbors...love the bridge in the background.

Brilliant
You did a good job but threading the serger is hard work.
Yes it is. The more you do it, the easier it will become. The most important thing is to make sure everything is taut!
Excellent instructional video. Very clear and concise. I did have to turn the sound off. The banjo music got to be annoying. Thank you for posting this video.

The red markings on the throat plate are the overlock width selection.
Overlocking width selection knob: (for overlocking or roll hemming)
