Akane means deep red. It overlocks on 2, 3 or 4 threads with 1 or 2 needles, runs to 1,500 stitches a minute, and takes two jobs that put people off sergers entirely, threading the loopers and balancing the tension, and does both of them for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;flex-direction:row-reverse;gap:26px;align-items:center;margin:28px 0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px;min-width:0\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5204\/6327\/files\/mo-3000qvp_3.gif?v=1788192236\u0026amp;width=900\u0026amp;height=600\u0026amp;crop=center\" alt=\"The front cover of the JUKI Akane MO-3000QVP swung open to show the looper area and the threading diagram printed inside, with a finger on the air threading button.\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:12px;display:block\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px;min-width:0\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px\"\u003eAir does the loopers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0\"\u003eDrop the thread into the slot and press the button.
