I just bought a Juki MO-654DE last week. I haven't made anything with it yet, but gave it a trial run on scraps. I love the quality of the machine and stitches. Before I got it, I watched several YouTube videos so threading it wasn't as difficult as I feared. One of the videos suggested putting a different color thread on each spool to help with identifying tension settings, and that was a great tip! I am really glad I bought it. It will be great for home dec and apparel projects.
