Step by step: rolled with the JUKI MO-214D

One of the great strengths of the Juki MO-214D is that the rolled stitch function is integrated directly into the machine , without the need to change presser feet or accessories. Activation is simple and quick.

To begin, manually turn the steering wheel toward you until the needles are in their highest position. This allows for safe adjustments.

Next, locate the small lever near the presser foot . To activate the rolled edge, push this lever forward until it aligns with the mark on the front of the needle plate (indicated by the letter C). This moves a small element called the stitch finger , which helps reduce the stitch width and roll the edge of the fabric as you sew .

If you want to switch back to classic overlock mode later, simply move the lever back to the mark at the back of the needle plate (mark D).

Once the roll is activated, the machine will automatically roll the edge of the fabric and hold it with a very tight thread , creating a fine, discreet and neat hem. This stitch is perfect for fine fabrics such as chiffon, viscose, organza or voile.

✨ There you have it, your rolled edge is ready! Now you can sew fine and elegant finishes, perfect for scarves, ruffles, lightweight dresses, or delicate fabrics.

The result: a clean, even, and professional rolled hem.
