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 manually 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 (indicated by the letter C). This action moves a small part called the rolled hem finger, which reduces the stitch width and rolls the fabric edge during sewing.

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

Once the rolled hem foot 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 lightweight fabrics such as muslin, viscose, organza, or voile. For a flawless finish after sewing, using Juki pressing equipment ensures a professional finish, even on the most delicate textiles.

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

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

What is the difference between JUKI 204 and 214?

• It has a presser foot for blind stitch and a tension system that is easier to adjust.

How to adjust the thread tension?

The thread tension adjustment is essential for neat and strong seams. Each looper and needle has its own independent tension discs, to be adjusted according to the type of fabric used. The MO-214D makes this process easier thanks to clearly numbered tensions, ideal for avoiding mistakes.

The presser foot pressure adjustment also improves 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.
