Juki MCS-1500 Cover Stitch and Chain Stitch Machine
For professional results when sewing apparel and decorative items, having a sewing machine that can both cover stitch and chain stitch will definitely give you more options when it comes to your creative projects. You can find such a machine with the Juki MCS 1500!
The Juki MCS 1500 is a great machine capable of both cover stitch and chain stitch in one machine at a great affordable price. It features 4-thread, 3-thread (wide), and 3-thread (narrow) cover stitches which are great for hems, necklines, cuffs of sleeves, and more.
The stitches also stretch, meaning you can use this machine for stretchable fabrics. The chain stitch is great for decorative stitching, but also serves a purpose – because it is quite strong, it’s great for waistbands and the side seams of pants as well.
The presser foot on the Juki MCS 1500 can be lifted easily at an upward angle to make it easier for you to slip the fabric underneath. The pressure of the presser foot is also adjustable based on the fabric you are working with.
The extension plate has guide lines to make it easier for you to manage your seams, while the presser foot also comes with a guide to use. There is an external thread cutter as well to make things even easier for you. The differential feed is adjustable with a single dial to make it easier to sew different fabrics.
The Juki Company warranty on the Juki MCS 1500 is 2 years for electrical parts, 5 years for mechanical parts exclusive of consumables parts, and a 90 day labor period to allow for adjustments by the vendor.
The Juki MCS 1500 - It Sews Like A Dream!
Features:

 |
Cover stitch. Perfect for various applications such as simple hems, sleeve cuffs and necklines. Since the stitching stretches, it's ideal for stretch fabrics.
|
 |
||
|
|
Chain stitch. Since the lower thread forms a chain on the wrong side of the fabric, the stitch is strong when it's stretched making it ideal for stitching the waist and side seams of pants. It also does well as decorative stitching for necklines. |

Presser foot lifter. The presser foot is higher as its tip in order to allow the fabric to be easily inserted at the start of sewing. In addition, raising the presser foot lifter to the first position raises the presser foot to 10mm.

Adjustable differential feed. Adjust the differential feed to sew beautiful finishes, even with stretch fabrics such as knits and georgette. |

I am in love with this machine.
Works right out of the box, easy to thread and use. You can tell this is a workhorse. So excited to be able to finish all my knit hems now!

Solid machine.
This is my first coverstitch machine, and it has been very easy to set up and use. It works very well with spandex fabrics (unlike some of the lower end coverstitch machines that I have read reviews of). The motor is very fast and it feel like a well made instrument. Have not had any issues with it so far (few months of use).

Good Machine but needs YouTube in English to show how to thread it correctly.
I recently purchased this machine. It works great, but it took me a lot of trial and error to get it threaded properly. The machine came threaded but the tread wasn't on a spool, it only was threaded. It was cumbersome with threads hanging all over the place and I didn't get a good view of what the proper pattern was. It didn't match up with the book in my opinion. I had a lot of breakage and seams that didn't take at all. I am still struggling with learning how to properly thread it. Unfortunately, the only YouTube videos that are available on this machine are only in Japanese. I could follow it to some extent but I struggled to get it right. I went to the seller and there was a technician who could talk with me on the phone but couldn't do a screen share. It's nearly impossible to understand how to thread a machine if the person showing you can't see what you are doing right. I also haven't been able to find any FB Groups for this machine yet. I understand it's very new and that might be why. But, after a lot of work to get it to work, I think I have figured it out. I hope that JUKI American creates a YouTube series on this machine so I can learn how to use it properly

Great machine!
I highly recommend this machine. I already have a Juki serger (MO 654-DE), so it was extremely easy to learn to thread it because the systems are quite similar. This machine makes beautiful stitches, it's not noisy, and has been making me very happy.

starsAwesome, durable machine!
I am absolutely head over heels for this machine! It's very simple to get started, and I found threading simple if you follow some quick youtube videos. Because this machine is a near twin of the Bernina L220, I recommend searching for some introductory videos for that machine. Happy coverstiching!

The BEST!
This is the most amazing machine I own. I love it.

Just get it.
Got it for the wife when the Pfaff and Juki 1000 serger was insufficient. She cannot stop raving how great it is. I'd get it for her again without hesitation.
