Your explanation was 100 times easier to follow than following the instructions given with this machine. I am a complete beginner and threw myself in to the deep end. You've definitely given me a lot more confidence. Thank you 😊
I’ve just unboxed mine and you guided me step by step! I’ve never been able to thread up a sewing machine and I was so worried about being able to do it 👍 thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this. The instructions that came with the machine were useless as they missed out important steps like how to actually put the bobbin back in the machine. This is such a clear and helpful video.
Thank you for guiding me through. I love sewing but stopped years ago. I took it up again and bought the JL110 however struggled using it. Your video has helped tremendously.
thanks so much for this video!! me and my partner kept watching it, taking it back, pausing it etc... to take in everything as it's pretty complcated as a beginner to set up a sowing machine. We managed to do it, and sowed our first ever peices! Thanks again. What a great video.
My mother in law bought this machine as a moving in present for us and I have no idea what im doing, I've never touched a sewing machine before, thankyou for this video it's been a big help
Thanks for this tutorial! First time machine user and struggled to get it set-up using the John Lewis manual, your walk through and closeups were a huge help!
I bought this sewing machine 7 years ago and never opened it because not only would my mum not allow me to because our flat was too small and she hated noise, but the instructions confused me! This made so much sense! I probably have an old version though so no clue if it's as good or even if it works once it's out of the box! But i'm an independent woman with my own place now so I'm going to give it a shot today! :D
🙌🏽💪🏽glad to hear you’re preserving. Makes me so proud to hear that. Well done. Your machine is the older version in that the mechanics have improved inside the machine but exactly the same otherwise. I wouldn’t worry. As long as you start, it’s a step in the right direction. Go Girl!!!
Great review Abi, thanks. Just in a spirit of objectivity - there is actually a zig-zag width adjustment. It's the increments between B and C on the stitch dial the closer to C the larger the swing. Looking forward to this series of reviews. Best wishes.
Excellent walkthrough there Abi .Your videos are clear and really well edited. your knowledge of sewing and machines is exceptional. I thought most of these machines would work for me as a second machine to my workhorse industrial machine. However Ive managed to revive my beloved Singer 201p .I needed to rebuild the tension knob - new springs. New belt and because I've been using my industrial and not the singer for 3 years I needed to give it lots of running in time not to mention plenty of oiling.So pleased with the results if they continue I won't need the second machine. thanks for all your advice and if I do buy one probably the Janome £99 though can't find it at that low price - will be on your recommendation!!!
James that’s excellent. We love the 201 here. Definitely a workhorse and much preferred to repair and reuse then buy new (plastic). I’m quite sure theJanome RRP is £99 so it shouldn’t be any more than that. Lots of people are selling them on marketplace because it was a freebie with a magazine subscription this summer. I also know WeaverDee.com has some in. He’s a lovely chap. Mention me if you contact him!
I just got my JL machine today and am a beginner so was looking for videos on how to get started cuz the last time I used a sewing machine was 10 years ago lol! Got a machine to stitch a bouncer cover for my baby. Thank you so much for your detailed video. Am going to try going through more of your videos. Have you done a video using all the features of this model? I would really really appreciate it, if you haven't
I'm looking forward to the comparison between the different machines. As you’ve said before It’s another Janome branded machine. I do wonder how different it will be from the Necchi as they are under the same umbrella. Another one is the Singer and Pfaff brands as they fall under SVP (Singer -Viking -Pfaff) worldwide.
Thank you for the video, I bought my JL110SE months ago, I’ve used it once and got so stressed out (total newbie) just took dust cover off again and found you’re video. I threaded the bobbin last time, it took me 3 hours with the help of a previous video you didb🙏 I only have one bobbin, which is now full of red thread😩 Please can you tell me, where I buy more bobbins from? Are they all same size or do I need to buy a specific one? Thanks x
Ah, well I hope you’re getting quicker, lots of practice will help. Any plastic Janome bobbins will work in your machine, don’t buy generic, it’ll cause you problems if you pick up the wrong ones
Abi’s Den thanks so much! I’m pleased to report I actually made something, only a hair scrunch, but I’m quite proud of it 😎 you’re videos are going to help me lots! Thanks x
Hi Abi, you mention the JL110SE, has the possibility of being used with a double stitch needle. Can you demonstrate how to use the double stitch needle with the JL110SE please thanks. David.
I have lost my Presser foot and need to buy a replacement , I brought one but I don’t believe it fits properly I can’t get it on. Do you know what type of one is needed for this? This is a super helpful tutorial Thankyou so much ❤️
Hello there I've had my JLI Iose machine for 4 years, but only now setting it up. I'm fairly familiar with very basic sewing but each machine is different. I'm having trouble threading the bobbin. I've followed your video (thank you) and it's exactly as I've done via following the manual's instructions, but my thread is winding around the spindle that the bobbin is on underneath and not on the bobbin. I've threaded from the base hole up and out through the top hole and then placed it on the spindle winder, but the thread is under the bobbin because that's how it was threaded in order to go up through the hole and through the top one. Please can you advise as to what I'm doing wrong, as with my old machine I only had to manual wind thread around the bobbin a few times, then press the pedal and it wound the required thread on. Thanks in advance 😊
Hello Thank you so much for replying, I missed the notification so only just read it. I achieved it in the end and only just practiced a few stitches today. I would like to ask a question if you would be so kind to answer again, thank you. What I'm trying to do at the mo is that I have a summer top with one inch wid shoulder straps.It's a kind of cold shoulder top and I've been meaning to alter the straps for the past year. It's a slightly stretchy material and where the straps are sewn, they're sewn through the elasticated top part and I have caught the thread terribly. It started sewing, then almost stopped with a loud thud. When I cut it free, I noticed that the thread just gathered and I could virtually pull the strap apart from the elasticated bit. So as I am not familiar with more advance stitching through elastic, I wondered if you could offer any help please. All I wish to do is shorten the straps and then sew them. Thank you in advance xx
Aw. That sounds like a classic case of wrong needle. Try a ballpoint needle for jersey - not “ stretch “ needle x good luck x (but just check the bobbin is in the correct way too x
@@AbisDen Oh thank you so much, that's very kind of you to reply. ♥️ I tried it again 3rd time, but nope, it all got messed up, the thread from the bobbin was still in tact, but somehow, thread was wrapped around the outside of the bobbin, I don't know how it got in that state though. Also, when I practiced on some plain material, it's not thick, trying to practice using the machine, when I went to snip the thread after sewing, it left lots of thread coming from underneath, the needle was still threaded and the bobbin in tact, but somehow there were two other threads, which when I pulled they came free leaving the rest in tact ready to continue sewing. I bought Gutterman thread, but this is all new to me. As for your advice, I will look I to getting a ballpoint needle, never knew one existed as I'm such a newbie 🙄 Thank you again, much appreciated, just hope I can learn more. In the end I hand sewn the straps earlier x 😍
Hi abi. I am looking to possibly purchase this machine. I found your video very useful. I have also found a janome 4400 which is the same price but has the added bonus of a needle threader and 20 stitches. Have you ever reviewed the janome 4400 or used it? Would you say it is a better machine than the jl110. Thank you.
Great review and I loved the Janome comparison. I'm interested by the things they left out (needle threader, thread cutter etc) which seem like trivial additional costs.
@@nakedjaybird09 Haha ... good spot. I just looked at my Bernette (based on the same Janome) and it has a thread cutter there too, making two cutters. Not that I use either of them.
The difference in price can be the presser foot holder, the John Lewis one has a metal one, and the other machine has a basic plastic one, if you check the price of spare parts, that alone it's a difference of more than 20 pounds.
Thanks so much for these videos, really clear and helpful! I have the non-special edition version of this which my mum gave me years ago, I've barely used it but when I took it out recently there was no foot on it, so I've only got the satin stitch foot and have been using that for everything. Does it matter? What should I buy to replace the missing foot? I have no clue!
To be honest, if it works then leave it. You otherwise would have a standard zigzag foot on the machine but I Like the satin stitch foot because it helps you see better and it doesn’t make any difference other than it’ll glide over fabric smoother - which is actually a good thing
Hi Abi, thanks for making this video, it's so helpful for a novice!! I just wondered if your aware of the Janome still being sold for £99 anywhere, as I can only find it for £129 minimum? Many thanks.
The fact that it is branded with the John Lewis name and that it is green instead of the normal Jamone white all adds cost to the machine. So you are paying for style over substance. Add to that the demand for sewing machines is outpacing the supply. I have seen crazy price gouging on sewing machines.
@@AbisDen it would be nice to see you open it up. I had to give my machine to good will and buy a new one instead. I opted for the singer heavy duty this time and I am so happy I did I'm now a big fan of singer machines. Thank you so much for your videos. I think is is awesome that you are an engineer.❤️👍
Hi Abi! Isn't there a thread cutter on the back of the presser foot bar? I have the same model but its by Baby Lock, I believe it was made by Janome! I have a Kenmore the exactly the same as well made by Janome. they are great little machines! Work horses! I think Janome is making the Singer machines now! They have similar features as Janome machines! (The newer machines). They make good quality machines Janome!
Kenmore are Janome’s machines but Singer and Janome have no ties that I’m aware of at all. The same for Babylock. You’ll see Babylock machines are the spitting image of Brother machines and while they have no ties- they use the same designs made in the same factories. Thank you! The presser bars on the janome machines do have the classic notch to cut thread- silly me. I forget that’s there so you must watch out for the thanks 🙏🏽 😊 when I use it in a future video. Yes. Janome do make great machines. It’s just in the Uk their customer service needs a little working on in my honest opinion
@@AbisDen I think there making them now for Singer maybe sold the name out to Janome? I'm in Canada my Baby Lock is made by Janome I got it from United States. The newer Singers seem to have the same parts as Janome! Take a look at the little mending machine by Singer it is the same as the Janome one that's available. Singer M1000 .
Thank you Michael, I will. I think what it is, there are just a few factories building the machines, and the brands use the same factories, whether these brands are under the same umbrella, I’m not sure to be honest but my source confirmed singer and Janome and Brother are different umbrellas. But it’s becoming so much more apparent that the “designers” (ie Janome, singer and brother for example) of these machines aren’t being inventive or creative, just slapping on a different plastic covering and a different name. I don’t know. It needs more investigation.
@@AbisDen Yes exactly my my machine is Baby Lock Zest its its the same as your John Lewis just that the housing is different. that's keep up the great work!

Glad to have helped.
I hate to admit this, but I’ve never, ever, seen a sewing machine I didn’t want. I love them all, from antique ones to brand new ones.
As a beginner who’s been trying to figure this out for a while, this was a really helpful video. Now I can start sewing!
Thank you so much for this. I've had mine for a while but haven't used it for about two years so needed a little reminder.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this. The instructions that came with the machine were useless as they missed out important steps like how to actually put the bobbin back in the machine. This is such a clear and helpful video.
Glad it helped!
Ha, that's the exact same part that flummoxed me
wow I love you! I bought the sewing machine purely for aesthetic reasons and hadn't realised all these features! Thank you for sharing
🫶 thank you Hajeera 🙏🏼🌷
Thank you for guiding me through. I love sewing but stopped years ago. I took it up again and bought the JL110 however struggled using it. Your video has helped tremendously.
Hi Abi, your videos were so informative, I didn't know any of the features like the hidden bobbins & the extended bob holder. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! 🤗
Thanks Abi. I use my JL100 very rarely, so forget how to thread it. Although your instructions are for a later model, it all worked perfectly.
Many thanks fir your help in threading the machine and bobbin. Now the machine is working like a dream and doing what I need it to do. ❤️❤️🙃🙃
thanks so much for this video!! me and my partner kept watching it, taking it back, pausing it etc... to take in everything as it's pretty complcated as a beginner to set up a sowing machine. We managed to do it, and sowed our first ever peices! Thanks again. What a great video.
Amazing! Such a thrill
Just ordered the pink . Thanks for a great video .

You’re welcome 😊 Happy WBD! What character did she go as?

Thanks for this tutorial! First time machine user and struggled to get it set-up using the John Lewis manual, your walk through and closeups were a huge help!
Brilliant. Good luck and have fun on you new journey
Thank you so much! I just got this machine and really didn't understand the written instructions, but this was really easy to follow
hi! thankyou this was sooo helpful i got this for christmas and i was a bit confused on how to set it up thankyouuu!
This was super helpful!!! As I got gifted the exact mint green sewing machine you just reviewed 😂❤️ Thank you x

So surprised there's no difference to the Janome brand and Cheaper.
Well said to John Lewis 👏

Hi abi I got my gathering foot but I’m not sure how to fix the tension on my John Lewis sewing machine xx thankyou xx
Oh no!
Hello! Great video!! 🎉 don’t suppose you’ve figured how to lower the feed??
Unfortunately the machine doesn’t have the facility to lower feed dogs. The machine is supplied with a plate to cover them. :-)
Very interesting, wouldn't buy John Lewis, green colour or not 👎👎

I’m not sure 🤔
I didn't get a darning plate with mine.. Can you buy them separately please and if so where from.

I guess you could call John Lewis or Janome? I’m sure they’d be happy to help 🎈
Hi Abi, thanks for making this video, it's so helpful for a novice!! I just wondered if your aware of the Janome still being sold for £99 anywhere, as I can only find it for £129 minimum? Many thanks.
Try looking on ebay or fb marketplace
You should show other pattren of stitching as well.
Good idea
How do you lower the feed dog?? I can’t figure out how to do it
Hi abi can you buy a gathering foot for the John Lewis machine xx
Yes ! Look for a snap on gathering foot, generic ones should fit x

We’re would be the best place to buy many thanks x
I would say Amazon or eBay?
Can you do a post about a decently priced Overlocker for a beginner ?
Hi do you find that you cannot go slow on this machine? I can’t and I’m not sure why it goes so fast instantly

Have you in small size sewing mechiene .
Thank you!
Can someone help me please! What is the power of machine🙏🙏🙏
Hi, can anyone tell me what size bobbin (plastic) is needed for the John Lewis JL110? Thanks in advance.
John Lewis only have one size fits all. Don’t buy generic
@@AbisDen thank you. By the way, love your video tutorial. Keep up the good work.
The reverse button on these machines either stop working after a while or breaks on the inside of the machine. (Jenome, Kenmore)
Oh I hope not. But actually the older ones I believe it. The inside mechanism was poor but this seems a lot better. I may open it up. 🤔
@@AbisDen it would be nice to see you open it up. I had to give my machine to good will and buy a new one instead.

Hello, could you possibly do an Unboxing of a Brother F420 machine please?
Oooh. That’s coming up !!
Well I can't wait to watch, thank you. As usual lovely Vlog. 😊
Can you change the height of the feed dogs?
no - you cant do that on any machine - if you mean 'drop' the feed dogs so you can free motion embroider - then, again no, not on this model
How did u switch on the light bulb
It comes on automatically on these machines

@@AbisDen I think there making them now for Singer maybe sold the name out to Janome? I'm in Canada my Baby Lock is made by Janome I got it from United States. The newer Singers seem to have the same parts as Janome! Take a look at the little mending machine by Singer it is the same as the Janome one that's available. Singer M1000 .
Thank you Michael, I will. I think what it is, there are just a few factories building the machines, and the brands use the same factories, whether these brands are under the same umbrella, I’m not sure to be honest but my source confirmed singer and Janome and Brother are different umbrellas. But it’s becoming so much more apparent that the “designers” (ie Janome, singer and brother for example) of these machines aren’t being inventive or creative, just slapping on a different plastic covering and a different name. I don’t know. It needs more investigation.
@@AbisDen Yes exactly my my machine is Baby Lock Zest its its the same as your John Lewis just that the housing is different. that's keep up the great work!
