creates one, two or three parallel rows of stitching on the garment face while a looper thread covers and secures the fabric underneath. It is commonly used for T-shirt hems, cuffs, necklines, activewear and decorative stitching.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eIs the JUKI MCS-1500 an overlocker?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        No. It does not trim or overlock the raw edge. It is a dedicated coverstitch and chainstitch machine designed mainly for professional hemming, topstitching and specialist garment finishing.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eDoes the MCS-1500 cut the fabric?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        No. It has no fabric-cutting knife. The fabric is folded or positioned beneath the foot and stitched without being trimmed. It does include an exterior thread cutter for trimming the thread chain.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eCan the MCS-1500 sew a triple coverstitch?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        Yes.

Use two needles to create either a wide 5mm coverstitch or a narrow 2.5mm coverstitch.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is chainstitch used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        Chainstitch can be used for flexible construction seams, gathering, binding, topstitching and decorative effects. It uses one needle and the lower looper.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eIs the MCS-1500 suitable for knit fabrics?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        Yes. It is especially useful for jersey, knitwear, activewear and stretch garments. The coverstitch formation stretches more effectively than conventional straight stitching, while differential feed helps control waving.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eDoes the MCS-1500 have air threading?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        No. The lower looper uses a disengaging threading mechanism. It swings into a more accessible position so the thread can be placed into the looper path before the mechanism is returned to its sewing position.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eDoes it have an automatic needle threader?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        No. The three needles are threaded manually through clearly marked paths. The supplied tweezers and needle-insertion tool assist with setup.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat is differential feed?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        Differential feed changes the relative movement of the front and rear feed dogs. It can help prevent stretch hems from becoming wavy, reduce puckering on fine fabric or create gathering when desired.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eCan the MCS-1500 sew over side seams?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        Yes. The extra-high presser-foot lift and raised front of the standard foot help the machine approach layered seam intersections. Reducing speed and using an appropriate needle can improve results across bulky joins.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat needles does the JUKI MCS-1500 use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        It uses standard 130\/705H household sewing-machine needles, generally in sizes 70 to 90.

Compatible optional binders and guides can be used for attaching folded binding to necklines, armholes and garment edges.

A conventional sewing machine is still required for normal lockstitch seams, zips, buttonholes and general construction, while an overlocker is normally used to join and finish raw edges.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWho is the MCS-1500 best suited to?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-faq-answer\"\u003e\n        It is ideal for garment makers who regularly sew T-shirts, knitwear, children’s clothing, activewear, stretch dresses or ready-to-wear-style garments and want a dedicated professional hemming machine.\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- FINAL CTA --\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-final ds-juki-mcs1500-section\"\u003e\n\n  \u003cspan class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-eyebrow\" style=\"color:#b9d0e1;\"\u003e\n    Professional JUKI Garment Finishing\n  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eTurn Handmade Garments into Professional-Looking Clothing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The JUKI MCS-1500 is an exceptional dedicated machine for garment makers who want clean T-shirt hems, flexible stretch finishing, professional topstitching and versatile chainstitch capability.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Order online using the Add to Cart option above, or contact Direct Sewing for help comparing the MCS-1500 with other domestic coverstitch machines and overlocker-coverstitch combination models.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-buttons\" style=\"justify-content:center;margin-top:24px;\"\u003e\n\n    \u003ca class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-button ds-juki-mcs1500-button-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directsewing.co.nz\/pages\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"background:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a3b !important;\"\u003e\n      Speak with Our Team\n    \u003c\/a\u003e\n\n    \u003ca class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-button ds-juki-mcs1500-button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.directsewing.co.nz\/collections\/domestic-sewing-machine\/domestic-coverstitch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"background:transparent;border-color:#7e93a4;color:#ffffff !important;\"\u003e\n      Compare Coverstitch Machines\n    \u003c\/a\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp class=\"ds-juki-mcs1500-note\"\u003e\n  Product appearance, supplied accessories and specifications may be updated by the manufacturer without notice.
