Thread options, per the listing

The Juki MO-50E Serger is stated as 3 and 4-thread. More options mean more seam types, from a narrow rolled hem to a sturdy safety stitch.

What changes on your seams

A serger trims, stitches and finishes the edge in one pass, so the inside of a seam looks shop-bought. The Juki MO-50E Serger is stated as 3 and 4-thread. Differential feed keeps knits from stretching out as they go through.

What it has going for it

More thread options mean more seam types: a narrow rolled hem, a classic overlock, or a sturdy safety stitch.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the Juki MO-50E Serger goes in your basket, check the threading: threading a serger takes practice, so keep the manual and a scrap pile close.

Before you buy

The fit

Sergers cut as they sew: practise on scraps first, and keep spare blades and needles in the drawer.

What comes with it

Check the listing photos and text for what is in the box, and what is a separate purchase.

How you will use it

Think about the fabrics you sew most: the right needle and thread matter as much as the machine.

How it compares

How the Juki MO-50E Serger stacks up against the closest alternative, the Juki MO-655 Serger.

Our take

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the Juki MO-50E Serger is 3 and 4-thread stitching, closely followed by differential feed. No buyer reviews yet, so the Juki MO-50E Serger has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Juki serger: photos that can't tell you how well it suits your own projects. We'd pick it if you want a serger for sewing knits and stretch fabrics; otherwise, put it next to the Juki MO-655 Serger first.
