The Juki MCS 1500N is a purpose built Coverstitch machine, to give your knit garments + homewares a commercial finish at a great price.
Coverstitch machines are primarily used to create professional-looking hems, neckbands and cuffs on knit garments.  
  

A coverstitch machine is perfect for use when creating your own swimwear, t-shirts, underwear, activewear, children's clothing, etc.  The Juki MCS-1500N offers 4-thread, 3-thread (wide), and 3-thread (narrow) stitches giving you plenty of options to choose from to create the finish you like best for each individual garment.

A coverstitch machine offers the dual function of covering the raw edges of your fabric whilst also retaining the fabrics stretch and recovery.  You will find the stitches created with your Juki MCS-1500N don't pucker as can be the case when you sew stretch fabrics with your regular sewing machine.  

Some users may find a little tunnelling can still occur with the 3-thread narrow stitch on your lightweight and drapey knits such as viscose, bamboo or modal.  This is due to the nature of the fabric, not the machine or user error, and will disappear once you press and set your stitches. 

How is a coverstitch machine different to an overlocker?

The main purpose of an overlocker is to tidy up seams and prevent fraying. Your overlocker will trim excess seam allowance with the in-built blade and at the same time sew a neat row of stitches over the edge of the fabric encasing the raw edge.

On the other hand, a coverstitch machine has a looper like an overlocker for the thread required to create the stitches under the fabric, but it doesn’t have a blade.  There's no cutting involved with a coverstitch machine, it's job is simply to hem your finished garment edges or create decorative rows chainstitching.  

Some say as it doesn't cut anything, it is closer to a sewing machine in function, and therefore behaves better with good quality sewing threads rather than the cones you would use with your overlocker.  

Some feel given that it uses a looper and thread on the underside of the fabric, it's closer to an overlocker.  The process to thread a coverstitch machine is definitely similar and does take a little practice.  

Either way, if you work with knits often and want to elevate the finish for your own garments, or you sell garments requiring a commercial finish, the Juki MCS-1500N could be a great addition to your family of machines!
