Janome MyLock 654D Overlocker Product Review
The Janome MyLock 654D is a versatile 2/3/4 thread overlocker that suits beginners and experienced sewers alike. From beginners who rely on the colour-coded threading guide to professionals needing a reliable machine for any finishing task, the MyLock 654D handles all modern fabrics with confidence. A true investment for anyone looking to achieve polished, professional results.
The 8-piece feed dog lets fabric glide under the foot, while the Bi-Level differential feed (adjustable from 0.5 to 2.25) keeps seams smooth on stretch fabrics and prevents puckering on fine ones. With two, three or four threads and one or two needles, you can work overlock seams, flatlock and rolled hems on all fabric types.
Switching to rolled hems is quick and easy with no need to change needle plates or chaining fingers, and the retractable upper knife lowers with a gentle push when you want to sew without trimming. The wide chaining finger gives a smooth delivery of thread, even on bulky, stretchy and fine materials.
A powerful motor drives speeds up to 1,300 stitches per minute, and white LED lighting gives clear needle visibility for accurate seams and curves. Hanenite rubber feet reduce vibration to keep the machine stable and quiet. The easy-change presser foot has added texture on its underside to stop fabric slipping.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Janome MyLock 654D
Let us help with the answers.
Is the Janome MyLock 654D suitable for beginners?
Yes. The colour-coded threading guide, easy-threading lower looper and clear threading chart make setup approachable, while the 2/3/4 thread options mean the machine still suits you as your skills grow.
How many threads and needles does it use?
The MyLock 654D works with 2, 3 or 4 threads and 1 or 2 needles, which lets you sew overlock seams, flatlock and rolled hems for a professional finish.
Can the Janome MyLock 654D handle stretch fabrics?
Yes. The Bi-Level differential feed adjusts from 0.5 to 2.25, keeping seams smooth on jersey and knit fabrics and stopping fine fabrics from puckering.
How do I change to a rolled hem?
Turn the chaining finger switch knob to R and set the lower looper pre-tension slider to the rolled hem position. The upper knife stays engaged to trim the edge as you sew, and there is no need to change needle plates or the chaining finger, so the switch takes seconds.
What warranty comes with this overlocker?
The Janome MyLock 654D includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty. This can be extended to a maximum of 5 years within 30 days of purchase.
Is the machine noisy to use?
No. The Hanenite rubber feet absorb vibration as you sew, so the overlocker runs smoothly without rattling across your work surface.
