I really like my jack h2 but we can have our moments. The only draw back is when I do a cotton lining as I find it's too strong and I have to pop onto my domestic (husqvarna) and I struggle not having a flat surface/extension table. I noticed the vinyl you were using looked like a nice quality, it's so hit or miss in the UK to get nice vinyl in comparison to what you see makers in the USA using. As for you accent it's great, I'm north east scotland and we have our accent and some similar words as you so never mind what people say just be proud of it.
Yeah he can be a bit temperamental especially with lighter fabrics. I use the janome to do lighter weight fabrics. I get quite abit of vinyl from immanuels in Burnley they have a stall at a local marker once a week so am able to feel the thickness of what I am buying I have bought on line in the past and when it has come it's been quite thick and difficult to work with x
Please share with your magic with me lol I have tried so many times and just can't get that bottom thread to behave. I always worry about my accent and people being able to understand me. Had some not so nice comments about it hence why no recent videos x
It’s good to hear a local accent Deb 😁. I found you can wind the bobbin separately on the Jack H2 by taking out the bobbin case and lifting up the take up lever. I’ve only had my Jack H2 a few months and still learning. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Really informative! I'm debating between the HD9 and an industrial with a walking foot, so seeing the comparison is helpful. I'm only a hobby sewist so finding it hard to justify the price of the HD9, but also the space the Industrial would take! I just know that my current domestic is not coping with what I'm trying to do on it I see a field trip to Tysew in my future!!
@@Hippyjeepy I bought the Jack H2 at the beginning of December. It's been really good and has handled thick layer's of vinyl with no issues. But it uses bonded nylon thread which is thicker than usual and makes it unsuitable for any non bag making sewing. So if you were wanting to replace everything with just one machine, then the Jack isn't the droid you are looking for. But if you keep your domestic for clothes etc. Then it's great. Although it is huge, so if space is a consideration then you might want to avoid it .
@@emmabarnard6012 thanks for taking the time to reply! I get what you’re saying with the space vs needs. I think I’m definitely keeping my machine, just need to add another good all-rounder to the lineup. It does sound like the H2 might be a little too specialised for my needs. Thanks again, especially your thoughts on the bonded nylon.
Great to see the Jack. I’ve had my hd9 for 2 years, the only thing I dislike about it, is that the foot doesn’t go up that much. When I get more room, I’m going to get a cylinder arm as you will know it’s the top stitch the bag on a flat bed machine that is hard work xx
Interesting to see those machines - if I were 20 years younger (and moved house!)... 😉Still nice to see what's possible with the space and opportunity; you're clearly making it work really well for you. I'm using a lightweight mechanical Pfaff (not a vintage) mostly because it has a built-in walking foot so I can use it and a zipper foot at the same time and it's doing a grand job, probably more so than my heavy computerised ones might do. Like both your machines, I have to take my hand off the work to operate the reverse control which can catch me out as I find those sneaky bags do like to fight back the second they think I'm distracted!
I have a Modern pfaff too me and her do not get on at all I find I got the reverse but all the time as its in a really silly place. I probably really need to sit down with her again and see if we can be friends. 😂 X
I wanted to share I still sew with a Pfaff 1222e with built in walking foot my mother bought new and I was given it around 25 years ago. I make jeans, repair jeans and sew on vinyl. I am at a crossroads of wanting a really good machine. I was considering the Juki but Janome has really great reviews.
Thanks for this. I've been wondering about both of these machines. I have a fairly good domestic machine, though it can't do everything sewing a bag can demand.
Thank you. I've just got my H2. I have an F4 and a Husqvarna Viking (there is no u in Husqvarna) Topaz 30 sewing/embrodery machine. I'm in Bishop Auckland.
@@TheBagMakersSewCiety Grumpy LOL - I call my other half " Grizzly" You have a lovely shop by the way and I'm using your products after seeing great comments on the Spencer Ogg site :)
This is what I do now I have discovered a few new things since filming this video and using the machine more. it's a fab machine and I love it. Have you had your machine long?
I buy it direct from one of my wholesalers they only stock limited colours let me know what colours your after and i can price it for you and add to my next order if it helps you out x
Looking to buy another machine for my bag making . I have a Singer HD which is just not great to be honest . My choice is between Janome Hd9 or the Jack F5 What do you suggest ?? Best
I don't have the jack F5 so don't know that machine but what I would suggest if you can is visit a store to try out machines then you can get a feeling for them. Also if you need to take your machine anywhere such as retreats, workshops etc a hd9 would probably be the better option x
I cannot wait to get Jack H2. I’ve been making bags for hobby, but it’s getting serious hobby now so I really want an industrial machine. It would be nice if you can film in details of Jack H2. Did you get it from Tysew? Thank you for videos. Xx
It will take you to a new level 😊 I got mine from C Thompson as its near me but I spoke to tysew and they were very helpful. I will do a video on the h2 no problem xx
@@TheBagMakersSewCiety Thanks a lot for your reply Deb. That’s very kind of you to film the video of Jack. (I also love your Jill!) Tysew seems to be a good dealer and very helpful. I keep checking their website. Jack walking foot is the one on my budget. Thanks again for information. Take care xx
It's just a generic one from amazon as the one for the hd9 didn't fit into the space I had at the time. Grumpy had to router out the extra space to fit the machine x
Sorry only just seen this comment. Usually an issue with the bottom stitching is a top thread issue have you tried to adjust the tension on the top thread see if thay helps x
Hi Deb, Thank you for making this helpful video. I’m currently considering buying a Jack. See they are only guaranteed for a year though, so wondering how long you’ve had yours and if any issues have developed now it’s over a year old (at least).
Hi great video thanks for sharing, I would like to know your experience with the H2? Would recommend to buy this H2? Any issues? I appreciate your guidance, greetings from Costa Rica
Hi Deb, I have been having problems with my thread fraying when I'm sewing vinyl bags. Am looking for the best thread for bag making on my HD9. Are you using the Coats Moon 120 thread for bag making? Appreciate some advice, please. Thanks!
Sorry I have only just seen this comment not been getting notifications. I use moon/coats thread in my machine never had any issue with it. You can also use tex 40 too little stitcher sews has a good range x
Hi from a Durham lass living in France! I have the Janome mc8200 (quilter) and am looking at either the HD9 or Jack h2 to go alongside for bag making.If I can only get one which would you recommend?? TIA
I would say if your only making bags the h2 but if your wanting a machine to use for quilting too and sewing cottons the hd9. Durham is only down the road from me my daughter went to sixth form there x
@@TheBagMakersSewCiety Thank you. Keeping the 8200 as a great machine with 11inch throat for quilting so just for bags then it looks like the H2. Ha ha I went to that school but a long time ago met my husband there (first boys in the school) and my son went too. It's all changed there.
Niamh did really well there she had a tough time but the staff where really supportive. She's at Leeds uni about to start her second year of uni I have no idea how it happened 😂
hello Deb very beautiful videos and very beautiful sewing machine please kindly film how to operate the domestic sewing machine electric foot pedal how its used to sew please OK?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much
hi ... i am from india i am watching your videos, i also have jack h2 cz12 machine but if i tighten the tension of the thread in it the cranking sound comes in slow speed, and if i loosen the tension it doesn't come... Does your sewing machine also have this problem? Please check and let me know...?
I don't tightened my thread tension as my stitching is OK and I don't like to mess with it incase I cant get it right again. Have you been back in touch with the dealer you bought it from and asked them about the knocking noise as it doesn't sound right x
@@TheBagMakersSewCiety Ohh... Ok, yes, I asked if the service is free, then the service man avoided the matter by saying that it is the sound of the shuttule playing, it just needs to be played a little... all will come to the machine.. .

It's a fab machine a total work horse x

Oh a fellow northerner 🧡💛 that's really handy to know thank you this is why I love the you tube community 😍
I have the Jack A2 and love it. It is not a walking foot machine, but it goes through anything I throw at it.
They are fab machines xx

I love both for different reasons it may be worth looking out for a reconditioned hd9 if space is limited that's why I went for it originally x
That’s the same conundrum for me too! What did you ultimately decide on and how has that worked out for you?

I am still getting to grips with the foot pedal I do tend to knock it 😂
@@TheBagMakersSewCiety Using the knee lift I sometimes catch the foot pedal.
That's me every blooming time ha ha x
You can wind the bobbin separately just make sure you lift the foot by hand when you are winding Tony
Yeah I always lift the foot up when I am winding a bobbin 😊
I've just made a seperate video showing how I do it x
I saw a video ( think Aussie one) said you can move the foot pedal - something about keeping it all straight underneath though - Get mine today!
Ive managed to move it over. Well Grumpy has and it's so much better xx
@@TheBagMakersSewCiety Grumpy LOL - I call my other half " Grizzly" You have a lovely shop by the way and I'm using your products after seeing great comments on the Spencer Ogg site :)
Ah thank you ❤️ and thank you for your support it means alot. Andy gets called Grumpy as he has a resting grump face x
You can actually wind a bobbin without sewing . You just lift your pressure foot and remove the thread from the needle.
This is what I do now I have discovered a few new things since filming this video and using the machine more. it's a fab machine and I love it. Have you had your machine long?
Hi Deb thanks for the video. Can you tell me where you get your tex70 I’m struggling to find it. Thanks

@@TheBagMakersSewCiety thanks so much Deb that’s really kind of you! 🥰 will I contact you on your website?

Hello, what sewing table are you using with the HD9?
It's just a generic one from amazon as the one for the hd9 didn't fit into the space I had at the time. Grumpy had to router out the extra space to fit the machine x
Hi Deb do you still use both your machines or do you find yourself only using a ‘favourite’?
Hi I mainly use the jack as that's the one set up for filming but I use the hd9 when I am at sewcials or workshops.
Thanks Deb ❤
