Thank you for an excellent instruction video. I have had my JUKI654DEN for a week and was a bit apprehensive about threading it. I was just going to tie the new thread and pull it through…BUT, I figured I would never learn to do it. So, I cut the threads and removed them. Kind of like ripping the bandaid off… By following your directions I actually got it done fairly easily. Now, no more apprehension over threading! Yeah! I started sewing about 70 years ago, (at age 5 or 6 years old) learned on an old Singer treadle machine. So, this is definitely a new adventure for me. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you so much. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I am taking a serger class and using a different machine in class I hope you have other videos using the different stitches that can be done with a serger/ovelock. This video has shown me that I can change thread and rethread if I run out of thread or breaks.
I just bought the MO 654 de this morning (of course from Juki Junkies😊)…can’t wait to get it! This is by far THE BEST video for threading this machine…and believe me I’ve been watching many videos on this particular serger. Kudos to you(and camera man Dave) for GREAT videos .
UPDATE: I finally came up with a solution--the Dritz needle threader! Worked perfectly three times in a row. I'm leaving this comment in case anyone else is struggling with this. I've always been able to manually thread a sewing machine needle (without the Dritz), so I think two things are what makes this challenging--polyester thread is more flexible than the cotton that I have always used, and it's much thinner. But the Dritz came to the rescue! I've been struggling for an hour trying to get the needle threaded. When I can finally get the thread at the eye, it doesn't want to push through, and trying to use the needle threader is really difficult--I cannot get it positioned and pushed through--there's just not much room back there to maneuver. I'm wondering if the needle that comes with the machine has an eye that is just too small. I even removed the needle and attempted to thread it that way and then reinsert the needle. It just seems really impossible to thread that needle. In your video, it seems to just slide right in! If I can't get this mastered, I'm going to give up! Any suggestions?
Perfect timing! I did manage to thread my brand new machine all by myself yesterday. I'd love to see a tutorial on doing a flat lock stitch. The manual doesn't mention it at all. Also, what is the difference between the 654 DE and DEN? Thanks Boki, you guys are the best.
Just bought my new serger today, MO654de, from you guys! So nervous about the threading! I hope this helps!! I'll let ya know. Thanks guys, great video. -Rob
I sew with a lot of fleece. From my research I think this is the best choice for layers. Am I correct. How many layers of fleece would this machine take? I’m from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada and love your dedication to educating us. Do you ship to Winnipeg and what would your charges for shipping be? I take it the free shipping is only within the US.

What is the difference between the Juki W654 Mirai vs MO 654DE?

I need the little spring that holds the lower looper in. Do you sell those?
