Thank you such a helpful video 😊 I have had my 114 for a while now and your clear concise information has helped me to understand not just how but also why the adjustments work. I love your presenting style, I find your voice good to listen too and not too fast so I’m not having to rewind! I’m off now to look at your website and other videos.
Thanks for this video - i had just watched all the Juki instruction videos (11 of them and as you said, they are very clear) I've had my machine for a few months now, but haven't felt confident. This has inspired me to do a bit more sewing
Thank you so much. I got the 114 for a wedding anniversary present yesterday. It will replace my 35 year old White Jaguar serger which has been a trouble free workhorse but the spring that opens and closes the tension disks have finally failed. I spent so much time yesterday on the new Juki with no success. The lower looper thread kept breaking. I found your video, saw how to properly thread the lower looper and all is well. Again, many thanks from Upstate New York USA.
thank you for this video! i picked up this model today and am excited. I noticed I received the juki mo114 DN, which is in the title of this video. However, the models used in the video only have D on the front. What is the difference between this and the mo114 "D" (without the N)?
@Fattiapples An overlocker needs to cut the edge of the fabric so that the threads lay over the seam you are creating. If you don't it will curl up the excess fabric due to it having to sit inside the stitching.
Thank you so much for this demonstration .I was looking for help on this Juki machine were as I just bought ,you were so very helpful understanding this machine. I have the JUKI !!$D but I seen a loop that has a black mark on it not sure what its for would you know ?I have looked everywhere .😊😊
Hi @barbaradanko9603 - Thank you for watching our video. Can you please clarify what you are asking? You could send your query through our website: echidnasewing.com.au and you will be able to attach a photo of what you are enquiring about.
I just got the MO-80CB machine and after watching this I'm wondering if I made the right decision or if these machines are better? Also, if you could do a video like this for the MO-80CB it would be super helpful, there is very little information out there for it! Thank you!
Can I use stretch and jersey Schmetz needles in this serger? I’m not sure what kind of needle came with the machine but it had one orange line at the top of it and I already tossed it
@Fattiapples On page 11 of your manual it specifies the 130/705H needles for your machine, sizes 70 to 90. You can use sharps/universals, stretch and super stretch needles on your machine, the type depends on the fabric you are stitching on: www.echidnasewing.com.au/tnc-universal-needle www.echidnasewing.com.au/tnc-stretch-knit-needle www.echidnasewing.com.au/schmetz-super-stretch-needles
@@EchidnaClub thank you so much. I didn’t know if I could because I tried sewing spandex with stretch needle and wooly nylon and the needle came out of machine while sewing. Scary. Do you have recommendations or a video of tension settings for using wooly nylon in loopers?
@Fattiapples You would start off with a standard tension (which is usually 3 or 4 depending on the machine) - it is a matter of playing with your tensions if you are not quite getting the result you are wanting. You can email us at support@echidnasewing.com.au and send through photos of any problems.
I'm having trouble threading my juki mo 114d. I threaded the entire thing and tried a scrap piece of fabric. I was so excited that it appeared to be working correctly. Then tried again with a different fabric and it didn't produce any stitches at all. I opened it up to check the threading and discovered the thread had come out of the guide just below the lower looper eye. It doesn't really seem like there is a way to make it seat well in this guide. The manual is no help as the pics are very small and hard to see. I've watched videos but they're no help. Please help
It depends on the fabric but for most, no. For super stretch fabrics you may need to cheng to a ball point needle if you are getting skipped stitches or having other issues. It is always a matter of testing first.
@@EchidnaClub thank you for the clarification. I was hoping to use the marks as a seam guide while I serge. I’ve seen other sergers where the marks is the distance from the left needle but noticed these marks seemed further to the right than the 654 model. How would one use these marks if it’s from the blade and not from the left needle?
@Fattiapples You would measure how much seam you would need to cut off and use the furtherest needle from the blade as the seam width. Most patterns have a 1.5cm seam width so it is a matter of maths or you lining up to one of the marks on your fabric to the blade. I generally know how much I need to overlock and seam and line up the needle to where I want the seam to be. Hope that makes sense :)
@@EchidnaClub oh I guess I thought the seam I would measure would include the overlock width in it? I thought if doing a xxx amount of seam I would line up the left needle so the interlock stitch would be a part of the seam allowance if that makes sense. So I figured I’d use the marks. Interesting how the marks on this machine is different than the others. Makes it seem like the interlock stitch is not being included in the seam allowance. I don’t know which way to think of a seam allowance then , is it supposed to include the interlock stitch width or not
@Fattiapples For the measurements on this machine, no it does not include the stitch width. The foot has markings on it for you to line up to for your seam stitch width and when sewing a seam you would have worked out where you would need the needle on the left is to stitch to give you the right seam allowance.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback and happy sewing!
Thank you so much! I am glad I purchased the Juki d114, I know I will love it because I already have a regular sewing machine from the same brand.
@veronicab3119 That's awesome! Thank you for your feedback and enjoy your new machine!

Glad it helped! We love inspiring people to sew more :)
Thank you so much. Best tutorial I've seen. Extremely helpful. Will be watching more.

@Fattiapples Glad you enjoy it! The DN model has LED lighting not the filament globes.
@@EchidnaClub ahhh I see! Thanks so much, you’ve been so kind. I’ve learned a lot from this video from the knowledgeable gentleman.
@Fittiapples Very welcome :)
If you disengage the blade, how come the machine will crash if the material is fed to the right of the foot? I’m a beginner so don’t quite understand

Sorry - this is an American model so not quite sure if it is better. Juki is a great brand though :)

There could be a few things happening for it not to be staying threaded. Are you in Australia? We are happy to help you over the phone.
No need to switch to ball or straight needles between knit or woven substrates?
It depends on the fabric but for most, no. For super stretch fabrics you may need to cheng to a ball point needle if you are getting skipped stitches or having other issues. It is always a matter of testing first.
Also are the seam guides on the cover plate the distance from the outer left needle? Thanks!
@Fattiapples The sizing on the front cover is from where the fabric is cut with the upper blade.
@@EchidnaClub thank you for the clarification. I was hoping to use the marks as a seam guide while I serge.
