Review by Kimberley B
Excellent machine, very pleased with it. Only a starter guide included. Had to download the instruction manual of the internet. Comes with UK plug. No actual overlocking threads included, the freebie thread I would use only on my sewing machine as they are small. Threading was a nightmare for the uncoloured parts but watched a video on You Tube and Hey Presto. Simple. Overlocks very fast, will take time to learn how much pressure to put on pedal. Cuts very swiftly but remember to lift knife out way if you just want it to overlock and not cut your material, I learnt the hard way, luckily I managed to salvage the item. Looks and feels sturdy and has metal thread holders.

Delighted with this OVERLOCKER. Ordered Thursday evening and was delivered Saturday morning. Already threaded, bag came with it, lots of accessories which don’t come with others. Been using all week. Wish I’d bought one long ago. Get one, you won’t be disappointed.

A really easy purchasing experience, delivery by DPD next working day was really good too. My first overlocker and it appears to have to useful features, it is certainly easy to thread (a common fear with these I understand). It appears to deliver a lovely stitch and I've played around with most of the features now, including 3 thread overlocking. There are some really handy videos online but it does come with a dvd and the guide book is comprehensive (if technical for a newbie at the outset!). I'd recommend this machine and the buying experience.

I bought this machine one day and it arrived the next day. Amazing service. I have made a jersey t shirt with it and it looks great even if I do say so myself! It was not as difficult to use as I imagined and comes pre-threaded which is a great boon. The DVD was not any help as I don’t have a DVD player - perhaps a pdf maybe better. I absolutely love it and have no regrets in buying it especially as it comes with most of the extras you’d ever need. Thanks.

I couldn't believe the speed of delivery. From making the decision to buy an automatic overlocker, to researching the best for my needs, to placing the order with Sewing Machine Sales, to unpacking and reading the instruction book - less than 24 hours. And I am delighted. This was the right decision. The Juki is everything I expected, with the strength and reliability of an industrial machine, and the neatness and portability of the domestic machine I previously owned. And, of course it threads itself! Hooray. Thank you so much for your great service.

Excellent service, really prompt delivery, ordered 5pm Friday afternoon and it arrived on Sunday morning, a day earlier than expected! Well packaged, have only done test with it so far but seems to work really well.

Review by Jo L
I've had two previous sergers (beginners' favourite Brother 1034D and a heavy metal Frister&Rossmann) but this Juki absolutely blows them out of the water! In the 4 months since it has arrived it has handled everything from tissueweight viscose jersey to upholstery tweed flawlessly with no need to even touch the tension adjustment dials. At first I was a bit worried the manual was a bit brief compared to my old ones, but now I realise it's because there's very little to troubleshoot with this machine! As the previous reviewer noted, once you've mastered threading it, you're basically set.

Review by Clare W
Easy ordering process, well packaged, arrived quickly. I did research which one I wanted to buy, the good with this is that it comes with Ext table, trim trap and spare feet. Most overlockers don't. I havnt tested it out fully yet, just tried a test piece but it looks good to me.

Review by Carolyn K
I am delighted with my Brother overlocker. It is so easy to use. I am even more delighted with the service I received from sewingmachinesales. They accepted without question the return of the overlocker I originally bought but found too difficult to use. They replaced it with the Brother and even carried it to the car for me! Thank you for your excellent service.
