JUKI MCS-1700QVP Cover/ChainStitch Machine

Creative Projects You Can Complete

Use JUKI MCS-1700QVP for flexible coverstitch finishing on suitable knit and woven fabrics. Select a stitch configuration supported by this model and test needle, thread, and tension settings on a scrap first.

• Hem T-shirts and jersey dresses with a coverstitch finish that allows the fabric to stretch.
• Topstitch seam allowances on knit garments for a neat finish, choosing thread and needles appropriate to the fabric.
• Finish neckline or armhole binding with a compatible binder attachment when available; optional attachments and extra supplies may be required.
• Construct seams separately with a suitable sewing machine or overlocker, then use this machine for finishing. A coverstitch finish is distinct from serger flatlock and industrial flatseaming.

Super Easy Looper Threading

Threading a specialty machine is no longer a slow, complicated task. The lower looper threader on the MCS-1700QVP disengages effortlessly, bringing the looper mechanism within easy reach for threading in seconds. Simply slide your thread directly into the designated slot and snap the looper back into place.

Heavy-Duty Chain Stitching

Enjoy unmatched seam resilience on high-stress garment panels. The MCS-1700QVP's chain stitch configuration forms a tight, secure lower thread chain on the wrong side of the fabric. This chain stretches and moves naturally with the fabric without snapping, making it the ideal choice for finishing waistbands, assembly lines, and side seams on jeans and activewear.

Extension Plate with Seam Guidelines

Maintain straight hems and consistent seam allowances effortlessly. The integrated extension plate features clear, engraved seam guidelines. These lines act as highly visual reference markers, helping you guide your folded fabric straight through the feed dogs for neat, uniform results.

High-Clearance Front Foot Lift

Insert thick materials and multi-layered hems easily without crushing your fabric. The tip of the standard presser foot is angled higher to facilitate smooth insertion from the start of your seam. Raising the foot lifter completely provides a spacious 8mm to 10mm of vertical clearance, accommodating thick fleeces, denims, and ribbed knits with ease.

Standard Presser Foot with Guide

Prevent lightweight, high-stretch knits and activewear fabrics from slipping out of alignment. The included specialty presser foot is equipped with a physical guide that presses down evenly on both the left and right sides of your stitch line, ensuring perfectly centered needle penetration and straight coverstitched hems.

Adjustable Differential Feed

Eliminate stretched-out, wavy edges on knits and puckered seams on fine georgettes. The adjustable differential feed dial lets you speed up or slow down the front feed dogs relative to the rear feed dogs, keeping your materials perfectly flat, smooth, and distortion-free during stitching.

Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure

Achieve balanced fabric traction across all weights. Simply turn the top dial to increase pressure for heavy canvas and denim, or decrease pressure to let delicate chiffons and high-stretch knits glide smoothly beneath the needle without suffering feed dog marks or damage.

Selectable Stitch Width & Length Adjustments

Customize stitch parameters to fit your design's structural and aesthetic goals. Quickly adjust your coverstitch width to either 2.5mm or 5mm by changing needle placement. Additionally, turn the convenient exterior dial on the right-hand side of the machine to adjust stitch length up to 4mm, matching the exact weight of your fabric and threads.

Convenient Exterior Thread Cutter

Trim threads safely and keep your workflow efficient. The built-in exterior thread cutter is conveniently positioned on the machine frame, allowing you to slice your thread tails in a single, smooth motion at the end of every seam.
