What is the difference between the Juki 655 and the Juki 655DE?
The Juki 655 and Juki 655DE are one and the same. Even though the box says Juki 655 without the “DE”, there is only one version available. (Q)Which is the best type of serger to buy? (A)It all depends on how you would use a serger. If you would only overcast single layers to keep them from raveling, a 3 thread serger would do like Juki MO623: http://www.sewingmachinestore.com/products/abp02533.html If you seam knits, a 4 thread mock safety stitch is best Like Juki 654DE: http://www.sewingmachinestore.com/products/abp02506.html If you seam wovens, the best stitch is a 5 thread safety stitch like Juki 655: http://www.sewingmachinestore.com/products/abp02531.html All sergers do roll hems and differential feed, so the difference is how many threads you might use. Some sergers even have the coverhem stitch with 2 or 3 straight stitches on top and a serger stitch on bottom.
