The JUKI Akane MO-3000QVP is the pinnacle of overlock serging, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features. Engineered for professional and advanced sewists, this serger is perfect for handling a wide range of fabrics, including knits, woven materials, and even heavier textiles. Whether you're working on delicate projects or bulky fabrics like fleece or denim, the MO-3000QVP offers precision, efficiency, and ease.

Key features of the Akane MO-3000QVP include:

• Chain-Off Thread Cutter: A JUKI original, this feature allows you to cut the chain-off thread manually by pressing the scissors button or using the foot switch. For added convenience, automatic cutting is also available, with the option to adjust the chain-off thread length.

• Micro-Lifter: The micro-lifter enables you to lift the presser foot up to 2.5mm, making it ideal for bulky projects such as winter coats or inserting elastic into waistbands. It ensures smooth feeding even with thick fabrics.

• Thread Delivery Adjustment Knob: The MO-3000QVP simplifies stitch adjustments with an automatic thread supply system. The stitch selector knob allows you to seamlessly transition between different stitch types—whether it’s 4-thread overcasting, 3-thread narrow, or a rolled hem. This feature eliminates the need for manual tension adjustments, ensuring optimal results every time.

• LCD Display: The LCD screen clearly shows the selected stitch pattern, stitch length, and tension settings, giving you complete control over your stitching process. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for beginners.

• Easy Looper Threader: Threading the machine is a breeze with the easy looper threader. A powerful burst of air from the motor quickly threads the upper and lower loopers, saving you time and effort.

• Automatic Needle Threader: Thread the left and right needles effortlessly with the automatic needle threader, streamlining your setup and allowing you to focus on your project.

• Easy-to-Change Settings: The MO-3000QVP lets you adjust the sewing speed, chain-off thread cutting length, LED light color temperature, and even control the serger’s operations through the foot switch—all from the LCD screen.

• Foot Controller with Foot Switch Functions: The foot controller offers extra functionality by allowing you to assign a feature to the heel side. Use it for half-stitching, low-speed sewing, or activating the chain-off thread cutting, making your workflow even more efficient.

• Knee-Lifting Lever: This feature allows you to raise and lower the presser foot hands-free, with a maximum lift of 6mm. It's perfect for handling thick materials and reducing manual effort.

• Wide Throat Area: The MO-3000QVP’s throat height measures 2.6", providing ample space for large projects. It helps reduce fabric bunching and allows easy access to your sewing area.

• Bright Workspace: Equipped with LED lights at two strategic locations, the MO-3000QVP ensures optimal visibility in your sewing area. The LED lights are energy-efficient and will not overheat during long sewing sessions.

• Light Control Function: Adjust the LED light color temperature between daylight and soft white to match your fabric and thread colors, eliminating any visibility issues that may arise.

• Magnet Needle Tray: This small tray is ideal for temporarily holding needles while changing stitch types or swapping needles. It ensures you don’t lose track of important parts during adjustments.

• 2-/3-Thread Conversion: Switch between 2-thread and 3-thread sewing effortlessly with the quick changeover attachment. This feature gives you versatility to create a range of stitch types depending on your needs.

• Differential Feed: The adjustable differential feed allows you to change the stitch length from 0.7 to 2.0, ensuring smooth sewing on stretchy fabrics, and eliminating puckering or stretching.

• Wide Variety of Stitch Patterns: The MO-3000QVP offers an impressive array of stitch patterns, including 2/3/4 thread overlock, chain stitch, cover stitch, 3-thread narrow overlock, and 3-thread rolled hem. This versatility allows you to tackle various projects, from garment construction to delicate hemming.

• Adjustable Stitch Length: The stitch length is adjustable from 0.7mm to 4mm, providing flexibility depending on your project’s requirements. Change the length easily with a dial on the side of the machine.

• Cutting Width Adjustment: Perfect for creating precise seams, the cutting width is easily adjustable to suit different fabric types.

• Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment: Customize the pressure applied by the presser foot to ensure smooth sewing on a wide range of materials, from lightweight fabrics to thicker textiles.
