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

One of the great strengths of the Juki MO-214D is that the rolled hem function is built directly into the machine, without needing to change the presser foot or accessory. Activation is simple and quick.

To start, turn the handwheel towards you until the needles are in their highest position. This allows you to safely adjust the settings.

Next, locate the small lever near the presser foot. To activate the rolled hem, push this lever forward until it aligns with the mark at the front of the needle plate (marked by the letter C). This action moves a small part called the gathering finger, which narrows the stitch width and rolls the fabric edge during sewing.

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

Once the rolled hemmer is activated, the machine will automatically roll the fabric edge and hold it with a very tight thread, creating a fine, discreet, and neat hem. This stitch is perfect for fine fabrics such as muslin, viscose, organza, or voile. For a flawless finish after sewing, the use of Juki pressing equipment ensures a professional finish, even on the most delicate textiles.

✨ There you have it, your rolled hem is ready! You can now sew fine and elegant finishes, perfect for scarves, ruffles, light dresses, or delicate fabrics.

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

What is the difference between JUKI 204 and 214?

The presser foot pressure adjustment also helps improve the fabric feed quality, especially if you work with thick, stretchy, or delicate materials. This type of adjustment is particularly effective on Juki machines, known for their precision and adaptability to the most complex fabrics.
