Opinions RE: Juki MO-2000QVP Serger?
 
I am considering buying the Juki MO-2000QVP serger and am curious if anyone on the QB has purchased and/or used this serger at all? Only one review on www.patternreview.com
hoping for some add'l input.

Thanks in advance -
Christine

I have one and absolutely love it what do you want to know

Glad to hear you love it! I view the MO2000QVP as an expensive but well equipped serger that should sustain me for many years. I’d like a machine to accommodate sewing garments as well as heavyweight fabrics. I’m a novice and wonder if I’m over-enamored with its pricey fancy features? I’m curious if those with experience value the features, such as air-threader, 15 stitch options, auto-needle threader, etc..., or are they over-kill?

FYI - I have and appreciate how substantial the Juki TL-2200QVP mini straight-stitch machine is compared to the other major brands that I test-drove. And am assuming the same with this Juki serger.

Thank you again -
Christine

My Juki MO2000QVP was purchased in April, this year, at the Spring Paducah Quilt Show. I absolutely love this machine! Threading the machine is a pleasure - almost magical! Stitch selection, and setup, couldn't be easier! Stitch quality has been consistently perfect! This is the first air-threading serger I've owned and expected that to be the 'best loved' feature about this machine. It's not! The auto-needle threader IS! I cannot say enough positive things about the Juki MO2000QVP - you won't regret purchasing it.

Mizmac00 - thank you for your glowing report :) I am glad to hear you're pleased with the serger and had anticipated the air-threader to be the 'best loved' feature myself - but who knew the needle threader would take the prize? I've watched several YouTube videos showing the set-up and operation of several 'top rated' sergers and the MO2000QVP surely does seem magical compared to the rest. The plan is to stop by the Juki dealer (2 1/2 hrs away) on the way to spend Christmas with family. You only live once, right?

Merry Christmas!

"Once is enough - if you do it right!" If you decide on the Juki serger you'll never regret it ... enjoy! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Safe travels.

Does anyone know if any serger has speed control?

TheMerkleFamily 12-21-2017 07:12 AM

I know the Babylock Ovation has speed control - I imagine others do as well.

Good luck!

I have been serging for over 20 years. My first serger was a manual thread. Hated it. My last 2 have been auto thread and it is the best thing since sliced bread.. You will not regret it. Juki is a very good company.

I think Santa will be delivering the Juki serger and I can’t wait! Can’t imagine I will regret a thing!
