Oh my! I don’t own a Janome but the fact they bothered to comment and sound so genuinely enthusiastic makes me pause for a moment 🤔. BTW enjoying your video so far, very relatable, I don’t like having people watch me either, all of a sudden, I sew like a noob 😂
I am currently, covertly, probably going to buy another sewing machine. And lug the huge box past him without a word. And get very defensive if he says anything like "But you already have two sewing machines????"....
Gigi vh the joke in our family ( with one person excepted ) is that one fear in my life is that when I “pass on” my husband will sell my quilting stuff for what I told him I paid for it!!!!!!!! My daughter goes into hysterics over that one. I now have 6 machines and considering another. By the way my fourth is a 2010 TL. Ha! Ha!
@@dorsetboronia6744 I imagined your scenario. Hubby waving his hand towards my craft room. Asks kind stranger "how much do you reckon?" and stranger says "Wellll...conservatively, about $25,000"...Hubby meets me in hell and has a strong word or two to say...things like 'bare faced liar" and "hoarder" and similar...
You convinced me 100% I ordered mine yesterday. I mainly make soft furnishings but I love quilting too. I’m going to get the free motion kit also so I can finish some of my quilts Thank you so much for your videos I love your sewing 🤗
You made me laugh so hard because you’ve never experienced sewing on an industrial machine. My father had a manufacturing business so I grew up around those machines…rows of stitchers with those machines humming away. You brought back some wonderful memories. Bless you….lovely informative video.
Subscriber #5 here lol. 🤣 I have a juki tl2010q off of amazon through a vendor in December 2018. I got the deal of a lifetime it seems. Got it for 800 with lots of feet, including walking foot, needles galore, bobbins. Also the Sewalee quilting rulers. It’s not even priced that low with no accessories. But it’s a great machine and I love it. Welcome to the high speed machine club... it’s fun! Have a great day.
I must have bought the same machine as you off of Amazon... the Juki TL2010. Every dealer I called said they couldn't come close to the price. I already have 2 Janomes and love them also but really jumped at the Juki deal. No regrets!
WOW, you’re my new TH-cam bestie. I’ve been struggling with purchasing a new machine. I was bouncing between an industrial machine (you know one of those big bulky ones that sit in their table) , and a heavy duty professional tabletop machine. You’ve convinced me! And, to top it off, I’m really close to the shop you purchased yours from. I’m going by tomorrow. Many, major thanks to you!
Can you please answer a few questions for me? 1) do you keep your Singer as a back-up for zig-zig when necessary? 2) it’s a bit large, would it be difficult pack and take on a trip? 3) Does it come with any extras? Thanks, bestie….
By the way, I’m clearing out some paper crafting supplies and have about 10 packs of 8.5 x 11 ofPark Lane card-stock and a bunch of glue dot runners. If you’d like them let me know.
Fantastic video! I feel like I just watched my coolest friend set up her new machine and now I want one too! Thanks for sharing your journey. I just subscribed and can't wait to see all the quilts and bags you make 😀
What a lovely presentation and introduction (for me) to your channel! I have a Janome Mega Quilter, love it, love it!! Enjoy your new machine! Gosh and you are HILARIOUS!! Totally love this video!!!
I watched this video last year and have been thinking about this machine ever since. When I went to pick up my brother scan and cut, they had the Janome HD-9 BE floor model with all the quilting feet for a ridiculously good price. So, after coming home and thinking about it, she’s coming home with me tomorrow….
@@MACoutureCrafting can’t wait to see what you got!!! My other main machine is a Bernina but I really like to use it more for FMQ with smaller quilts. So this will be perfect just for piecing and other projects. Can’t wait, I have a need for speed:). Love your content and your channel, always look forward to what you are doing next!
First, THANK YOU for making this you tube video. I watched many before purchasing my Janome hd9 be. LOVE LOVE LOVE this workhorse of a machine. Have used it non stop since i brought it home a week ago. Made 2 backpacks for my granddaughters and it sewed so effortlessly . I also have a singer 9960 quantum stylus and last year i purchased a Janome s9. I feel i have all the sewing power i will need to assist me with all the projects i am excited to work on in my retirement. I never thought i would be the owner of such high end machines. But, boy does it make my investment worthwhile ! Keep making your videos. I learn so much from your you tube channel and i love your energy😊👏🏼🧵🪡✂️
Hey Sis! Loving your videos and energy. I had mines sitting in a box for 3 weeks now and was searching on how to thread this wonderful machine and ran across your videos. Yes, I was like wow we went through the same thing at the store. I wanted to buy an industrial machine but was running into to many loopholes and they told me to test this machine out. I was sold. And now thanks to your video, I am up and motivated, with machine threaded now and ready to go! Yessss! Thank you so much for this video. Looking forward to watching many more of them.
Great video and commentary. I've been looking at the same machines you were, and the heavier thread for bag making does entice me to strongly consider the HD9. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I just saw you video. I just put a HD9 on layaway and so excited to get home. Got an awesome deal like you. Swear we so alike. I also have Singer 9960. Love it. I got HD9 cause I need something for when I start making bags. Also I am new to quilting. I do have the janome M7, actually it's my mom's but it sits in my living room. Love all. My next machine will be Janome M17.
We are total twinzies. I bet you will be in love with your HD9. If I get an M17 it will be because Janome gave it to me. I just don't think I can swing that addition into the mix. And I refuse to get rid of my M7.
Hi! I bought 2 machines last year!! Same day as well! Neither have even been threaded yet but I am making a purse for my grand baby so I have been watching lots of videos on my hd9be! This week end I will make that purse! Next is the baby lock victory serger!
Enjoy your attitude and I hope to watch more from you. I'm trying to share your video with family members but I'm 80 and not technology wise. I am looking for a new sewing machine as soon as I figure out how to share this video.
I tried the Juki 2010 but it really couldn’t handle the heavier thread in the bobbin which defeated what my goal was. I shipped it back and will definitely check out the Janome. Thank you . Very informative and entertaining.
Thank you for the video! I have Singer Quantum Stylist myself and contemplating getting a new machine. I have checked the specs of HD9 and it seems great, especially that it is so fast - I'm seriously considering of getting this one myself too. Happy you got maaaaaany more subscribers now and I'm sure you'll have many more :)
I have had a Janome since 1984. I made a few things on it but put if away for a lot of years. I pulled it out during lockdown and after a visit to the repair shop (timing) we are rippin and runnin. When it is time to replace the old thing I will definitely be getting another Janome, probably an HD3000 (Black) Thank you for your video and welcome Ayo to TH-cam.
You make me want to quilt! Anyway I love your reviews on this machine. I sew layers of faux fur and I've burnt out so many machines 😬. I'm thinking this machine will work well for my crafts and allow me to start some new sewing projects in the future
piecing correctly takes patience and the correct rulers as well as knowing your machine and cutting accurately. I have been quilting for 25 years and I am dead on accurate with all my points and I do this by making sure that when I cut my fabric it's accurate and then using 1/4" foot that makes my piecing correct as well and measure measure measure as you work through your piecing. Have a 1 x 6 " ruler and get used to using it. Glad you found a great machine to help you learn to be a great piecer. A cheap machine did not help (singer) now you have a great machine and it will make your projects so much better. Good luck!! Thanks for the review I am looking for a HD9 for my handbags (I have a Bernina 770 QE plus, yes I have expensive taste lol - and this is my 6th machine in 25 years..my hubby loves me and I sew like a demon lol).
Thank you so much for your comment. I love that you have a top-of-the-line Bernina but you still want an HD9. You are absolutely right I am a much better piecer now. My Singer machine was lovely for that time in my life but my new machines are definitely great for where I am now.
@@MACoutureCrafting I tried it out in the store and it’s just so beautiful! And the function is so smooth and fast!! I had been looking at the MC6650 but I just don’t need all that extra stuff right now and that beautiful sleek HD9BE just sang to me.
Thank you so much for sharing this info I’m in the market for a straight stitch machine with power and I was going to go with the Juki TL 2010Q until I saw your video. I’ve been quilting since 1984. I had been sewing on a Bernina 660 QE that I love but it’s a computer machine and the circuit board is no longer available so I need to find a machine that will last and last for years to come. I paid over $3,000 for my Bernina over 22 years ago and I’m not going to pay $5,000 - $8000 for a new computer machine that will be obsolete in 25 yrs bc I can’t find a circuit board! So you sold me on this machine cause all I wanted was a straight stitch machine since all I do is quilt and make bags so thank you for making my decision an easy one 😍
I went to my sewing machine center here in town and got to hear how quiet the Janome HD 9 is! Wow I love it! It’s on special for $1499 till the end of December so I’m gonna put one on layaway I can’t wait to get it! Thanks so much for this video!
You are amazing. I have a Judi Haruka. Janome is an amazing machine and I struggled with my choice. It came down to. Price and I get an amazing deal. I’m a new subscriber as of today. I LoVE your energy. God bless.
Thank you for the awesome information. I'm looking at a new machine since I started sewing items with cork. I have a Singer Quantum 9060 and so does my sister. My Singer was awful from the get go and my sisters is a work horse. I spent over $150 to get the timing and other issues fixed only to get it back and have it breaking needles which wasn't why I took it to the sewing center in the first place. With that being said, last April 2021 I went out and purchased a Pfaff Ambition 630 it does what I need it to do, but now since I started making purses, wallets etc with cork, my Pfaff isn't handling the bulk :( I started looking at the Juki TL 2010. I also have a 26 year old Janome ME4123 but I rarely use that anymore, it still works perfectly, I just wanted more options. Thanks for this video, I'm going to look at the Janome I know they have a great product.
I needed this video and it's so crazy because these are the 2 machines I'm considering. My mind is set, I'm saving up for the HD9. Thanks for talking about it like buying a car. I will be checking out prices at different shops before I drop all this cash on a machine
I'm happy it helped and something else because it's such an easy machine to work you don't need classes really so you can order it from whomever gives you a great price. For computerized machine I try to stay closer to home.
Wish I had seen this before I bought my Juki 2010. I think I might try to sell my Juki and get the Janome HD9. I’ve had the Juki for less than a month. I have 2 other Janome machines, don’t know what I was thinking. Thank you for all the good info.
30:30 Polyester thread, or silky type threads, will unravel faster than your mind when you see what happens without that net. Relaying a story told by a friend. 😁😁the light would be useful to help with threading though, right?
I just bought an Janome HD9 … was looking for a machine that will be happy to help me through my sewing BAGS journey … just began sewing bags in January of 2021, bought a Juki TL18QVP and wanted another machine for bag making at the next level - two of my favorite resources - one near home in FL and the other near home in SC both told me I needed the Janome HD9. Receiving it in my SC home in May. Cannot wait, but very nervous to try it. Love my Juki, but needed something to easily sew on leather.
This comment was right on time. I'm currently testing the Juki 18 QVP I'll be giving my thoughts on the machine in comparison very soon. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Now that you've had it for 2 years, would you buy it again? Is it still making bags like a champ? Thank you for the amazing video! Looking at a semi-0industrial myself. Mainly for bag making.
I'm glad you asked. I bought another one. I haven't done the video going into detail but I now have two. I haven't made many bags but the few I've done were no problem.
Yay. I'm so happy that you enjoyed my video and bought one. It has changed my sewing life drastically and I'm falling more in love with it daily. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your journey sounds so much like mine I also started with that the singer quantum doing quilts and then I moved to the Janome 9450 and then I got into bag making and I tried to make the bags on the 9450 and I was just killing the machine so now I have a real industrial Juki 1541 I still quilt but I also bag make
I'm not a quilter. I'm only recently getting back into sewing with my 27-year-old Kenmore, which was made by Janome. I had been considering Janome's HD series for heavy duty sewing. But I will consider your recommendation if I get into quilting, which has been at the back of my mind. Thank You 💞
Thank You so much for your review. I almost bought the Juki with the cutter in the pedal. I need a powerful machine to glad through Denim and heavy weight dense fabrics. This is it other than a industrial machine which I did not have space. I never heard of semi industrial machines until this year 1600 stitches insane.. Tip on sewing is just keep practicing and reading patterns and it will be like riding a bike. I believe everyone should own a machine as a practical appliance like Rowenta Iron :) Keep on Shining Love the AYO
Awww you are too kind. The Juki is cool but I love this HD9bs9 much better. I think you will be happy with how this sews denim. If you can get it under the needle I don't think you will have a problem.
Your story sounds so familiar. I started on a singer quantum stylist but soon realized that a 50 watt sewing machine wasn’t necessarily cut out for all styles of quilting. Still love it. Just not for quilting. I now own a Juki 2010 and Bernette B79. Between the two, I’ve been able to do just about anything, including embroidery. Like you, though, my eye is on that M7 if I ever decide to up my game and sewing space. It’s hefty in size and price. Lol. Thank you for your video!
I LOOOOVE my HD9!!!! I purchased this one over a Juki because I was told (albeit from the Janome dealer - but he's also a repair technician) that Juki parts are hard to get. Even though both machines are from Japan, Janome parts are easier to come by.
I think the Janome HD9 is pretty much the Singer S16, which I have. It looks just like it, including the placement of all of the features (all 3 of them😀). I am so, so glad I have it. That 1600 sts per minute is wonderful, the stitches are so even, if you do a lot of sewing, an industrial straight stitch is just great. I learned to sew in the mid-'60's, by both my mother and my paternal aunt who was a successful children's fashion designer. It was drilled into me that it's about the patterns and the sewer, none of the extras you get now. Although I remember when my mother got a buttonholer for her old Singer. But no zigzag, stretch stitches, etc. I had an okay Singer as a young adult and I made two tailored dress shirts for a boyfriend on that thing. Other than the buttonholes, I did the whole thing in straight stitch, with the help of David Coffin's "Shirtmaking". Congratulations on your new acquisitions!!!:-)
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I bet you are an excellent sewist. My first machine is a Singer and it has done very well for many of my projects
@@MACoutureCrafting And thank you for mentioning the Quantum Stylist and your good experiences with it!:-) I am looking into upgrading my mother's 1980s (or 1990's?-- can't remember if it was for her 50th or 60th birthday) Kenmore, and am looking at the Quantum Stylist, the Viking Emerald 118, the Jade 20, or the Janome HD5000. The last was what I was originally set on, but now the first 3 are much more attractive. I wasn't going to get a computerised one, but am now softening on that. The big drawback with the Quantum is that you can't alter the pressure of the presser feet, which really helps with knits. I am making myself crazy with this decision!😀
@@amierichan1428 don't make yourselves crazy You probably can't go wrong with any machine. I loved my quantum its just not as powerful as my newer machines .
Great video. I'm undecided like you were. For me it's between the Juki TL18QVP or Jenome HD9. How do you feel not being able to see how much thread is left on the bobbin?
Great video. I own a Juki and immediately ruined the topstitching on a byAnnie bag when I inadvertently cut the thread. How do you compare the power of the HD9 to your M7? Can the M7 handle as many layers? My disappointment with the HD9 are the feet. Why didn’t Janome put a AcuFeed foot or something similar on the machine instead of selling a conventional walking foot. It sounds like you really put the Juki and HD9 through the paces. This definitely helps a consumer like me make the right choice.
You are wonderful! What you said about your blocks never coming out the size they're supposed to and the seam with not coming out the way it's supposed to, that's so me! I started quilting last September and finally I don't really care anymore about failing block size requirements! I just try to cut the fabric bigger than I need to and then cut the blocks down! I'm looking at the Juki 2000 TL because the presser foot that comes with it is a scant quarter inch, no messing around with adjusting a needle, and the hinged quarter inch foot that you have to buy so is a quarter of an inch on each side, so you don't have to turn the HST around to sew down the line. I was looking for.feet with no guides. I don't want that guide pressing it to fabric when I'm sewing down the line of an HST. No machines them except for the Juki. Nobody, including the Juki Company, knew what I was talking about, except the site Juki Junkies. I did so much research; someone ought to be paying me for it. All I want to do is what my Featherweight did - sew on the side of the foot without having to look at an indent and without having to use a guide. I've decided that sewing machine manufacturers never sew, or it wouldn't be so hard to find a foot that makes a true scant quarter inch or quarter inch, made without a guide. I bought a Destiny sewing embroidery machine for what I thought was a lot of money even though it was a reconditioned machine from a sewing store, but I'm so frustrated with the feet. I don't want to keep having to write down the numbers of how many mm I had to move the needle to achieve what I want. Good Lord. manufacturers must not even sew! I'm using my Janome 3160 and the numbers just don't match on the needle plate with the numbers on the extension table, so trying to use Washi tape doesn't help. It's so frustrating. I'm going to use the hell out of the machine before I buy it! Thank you thank you thank you for a great video!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I totally understand I used to get so frustrated but now that I have this HD9 I can get blocks to come out correctly without even thinking about it. The HD9 uses the guard on the side that I butt the fabric next to and it does not leave any indentation because it's not on the foot. I love the guide so much it has increased my love for quilting. I can't wait to know what machine you decide to get.
Did you bother to look at the brother pq1500? I'm stuck between that one and the hd9. The brother is more in my price range at the moment but I'm not sure really what to do. I soon need a new machine because my old one isn't working right. Don't have much of a selection in my area either.
I did look at the brother. It's nice. I have a friend who bought 1. They ate all very similar machines. When buying a straight stitch I say you can shop anywhere online because there is not a lot of explanation needed on such a simple machine.
I've been watching your videos on this machine. I've been looking for a straight stitch machine and was going to get a Juki, but I think I will get this one, but I want it in black, it's sleek looking. I have the Janome MC8200QCP and like you my quilt pieces get sucked down into the machine and I also want to make bags and the 8200 isn't going to do that, I had problems making a potholder. Have you done a video on the extra foot you got?
I haven't done a video on all those feet yet. I'm in the market for the black one too. I just called my dealer Robin and D& H in tustin and she said she can get it to me. So we might be twinsies soon.
You appear to have grown from 5 subscribers to over 6000 - and now one more! Because this is a great video, so full of helpful information and funny. I’m only part way through, gotta watch the rest, bbfn.
Hi lady! I have been looking at many machines and many sewing machine TH-cam videos. I have decided on the Janome HD9 but after listening to so many ppl on the Janome HD9 Facebook groups most ppl are saying how LOUD this machine sews! I hate loud machines!!! My question to you is are you experiencing any loudness and problems from this machine or could it be person error in working on this machine??? Because it costs way too much to be a problem machine for me! Pls honestly share your experience with this machine to me since you’ve had this machine at least a year. I also just purchased a Juki HZL DX5 and it should be arriving next week. Thank you so much I trust your opinion on this machine.
I honestly couldn't tell you if it's loud because that's relative and I'm new to sewing so I'm not sure how it compares to other machines other than the Juki. I feel like there is a video on my channel of me sewing live. The thread cutter is loud but it doesn't bother me at all. The faster I sew the smoother it sounds. It's not loud to me. I hope this helps some.
Just wanna let you know thanks to your video on the HD9 I got one and I am soooo happy I did! Thanks for all your help and you are right this machine is a BEAST!!! Love it! ❤
Hi 😀 I contacted Robin and purchased the JANOME HD9 version 2. Thank you for this video, and helped me with my decision to purchase the machine and also saved me tons of time finding a JANOME dealer. Robin was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend her! ❤️👏🏾👍🏿🌸
I keep telling everyone this machine is really great. I am so happy to know that you are enjoying it. I can't believe how fast you are finishing your quilt top.
When I bought my juki 18qvp I bought it from a dealer in Japan who shipped Free and I got it less than a 2000 here! Brand New. Then I traded in my janome 9450 and bought the M7! I am set! M7 IS GREEEEEAT
You had me at OMG. :) I to am self taught the last 50 years. I sew just about every day. Plus size clothes for myself, quilts and now handbags. I about ready for a semi commercial machine. I use my brother pq1500sl. Fast and does only a straight stitch. P.S. saving up for my first serious machine for my next adventure. A cylinder arm with detachable/attachable flat bed is my next purchase. It is the best of both worlds for leather/vinyl work for me.
I want to switch to a semi industrial machine BUT I have recently invested in a bunch of rulers and feet for my low shank machines. I don't want to have to buy new rulers 😭
I completely understand in my first videos I had bought a bunch of rulers but they were for high shank. I didn't even now what shank meant for a minute. I must say that my semi is amazing
Did you buy new rulers? My whole goal in getting a semi-industrial straight Stitch machine is to try and do my quilting at home. I'd like to delve into free motion quilting and ruler work. But like literally the rulers are sitting at the post office right now🤦🏾♀️
Thank you for showing this video. You tell us, that one of the reasons for you to buy this machine is its ability to sew thicker thread. When I look in manual, I see a max needle size of 18/110, and you it normally a max of Tex 70 thread or perhaps Tex 90. What kind of thick thread have you tried? What kind of thick thread did the sellers or specifications told you it could manage?
Sorry for taking so long to respond at the time you asked I'd only used 50wt. But one of my favorite techniques is using 12wt to quilt. I since tried 12 wt which worked beautifully. I got excited because you are right it is supposed to be able to handle thick threads so I really pushed it an changed my needle to a 16 and sewed with Perle Cotton #5. I can't imagine I'd sew with anything thicker than that.
Why on Earth are you not famous? 🙌🏿👌🏿💪🏿 Brilliant, and hilarious video! Thanks. And I've just contacted my store to buy one 😉.
James you made my day. Thank you so much for leaving a comment. You will not be disappointed with this machine.
We are LOVING your video!!!!! We TOTALLY do care! We are so excited!!!!! Thank you for choosing Janome!!!!!
Thank you so much for leaving a comment this means the world to me.
See, this is why I love JANOME! I have a MC12000, and couldn’t be happier ♥️❤️💕. But, I do see the M7 coming soon 😀
Oh my! I don’t own a Janome but the fact they bothered to comment and sound so genuinely enthusiastic makes me pause for a moment 🤔. BTW enjoying your video so far, very relatable, I don’t like having people watch me either, all of a sudden, I sew like a noob 😂

I need to check this machine out! The way you advertised this machine they need to pay you!
I loved it so much I bought another one just to travel with. This machine is special.
You made me laugh so hard because you’ve never experienced sewing on an industrial machine. My father had a manufacturing business so I grew up around those machines…rows of stitchers with those machines humming away. You brought back some wonderful memories. Bless you….lovely informative video.
Thanks so much for sharing. I would love to try a fully industrial machine one day.
Subscriber #5 here lol. 🤣 I have a juki tl2010q off of amazon through a vendor in December 2018. I got the deal of a lifetime it seems. Got it for 800 with lots of feet, including walking foot, needles galore, bobbins. Also the Sewalee quilting rulers. It’s not even priced that low with no accessories. But it’s a great machine and I love it. Welcome to the high speed machine club... it’s fun! Have a great day.
It sounds like that was an awesome deal. Welcome to my channel and thanks for sharing.
I must have bought the same machine as you off of Amazon... the Juki TL2010. Every dealer I called said they couldn't come close to the price. I already have 2 Janomes and love them also but really jumped at the Juki deal. No regrets!
WOW, you’re my new TH-cam bestie. I’ve been struggling with purchasing a new machine. I was bouncing between an industrial machine (you know one of those big bulky ones that sit in their table) , and a heavy duty professional tabletop machine. You’ve convinced me! And, to top it off, I’m really close to the shop you purchased yours from. I’m going by tomorrow.
Many, major thanks to you!
I've always wanted a TH-cam bestie! Robin is a gem I'm in love with my machine and I think you will be very happy with it.
Can you please answer a few questions for me? 1) do you keep your Singer as a back-up for zig-zig when necessary? 2) it’s a bit large, would it be difficult pack and take on a trip? 3) Does it come with any extras? Thanks, bestie….

Fantastic video! I feel like I just watched my coolest friend set up her new machine and now I want one too! Thanks for sharing your journey. I just subscribed and can't wait to see all the quilts and bags you make 😀
Thank you so much for leaving this comment. You made my day. I can't wait to bring you along on this journey with me.
What a lovely presentation and introduction (for me) to your channel! I have a Janome Mega Quilter, love it, love it!! Enjoy your new machine! Gosh and you are HILARIOUS!! Totally love this video!!!
I am so glad you found this channel. I love this machine so much. Thanks for leaving a comment
Nice video. I am considering purchasing a straight sewing machine because I sew bags. Thank you for sharing.
I loved this so much that I'm going to get another one.
I watched this video last year and have been thinking about this machine ever since. When I went to pick up my brother scan and cut, they had the Janome HD-9 BE floor model with all the quilting feet for a ridiculously good price. So, after coming home and thinking about it, she’s coming home with me tomorrow….
Whaaaaaat. Yay. I think you will be so happy with the purchase. I bought another machine today too. Stay tuned I'll tell you all about it.
@@MACoutureCrafting can’t wait to see what you got!!! My other main machine is a Bernina but I really like to use it more for FMQ with smaller quilts. So this will be perfect just for piecing and other projects. Can’t wait, I have a need for speed:). Love your content and your channel, always look forward to what you are doing next!
Your amazing, thank you
I'm so happy to share
First, THANK YOU for making this you tube video. I watched many before purchasing my Janome hd9 be. LOVE LOVE LOVE this workhorse of a machine. Have used it non stop since i brought it home a week ago. Made 2 backpacks for my granddaughters and it sewed so effortlessly . I also have a singer 9960 quantum stylus and last year i purchased a Janome s9. I feel i have all the sewing power i will need to assist me with all the projects i am excited to work on in my retirement. I never thought i would be the owner of such high end machines. But, boy does it make my investment worthwhile ! Keep making your videos. I learn so much from your you tube channel and i love your energy😊👏🏼🧵🪡✂️
Thank you so much for sharing I hope this helps others know it's not just me that machine really does great for heavy-duty projects.
Just found you. I am very interested in quilting. Thank you so much for your videos
You are so welcome! Stay tuned I do all kinds of crazy quilting and fun simple quilts too.
Thank you for the wonderful review of this sewing machine. I went right out and bought one. ❤️
I really believe that you will love it
July 2022 now but loved your review, adventures shopping and set up. Love ❤ Janome. This model has a lot of nice features.
I still love this machine. I use it everyday.
Hey Sis! Loving your videos and energy. I had mines sitting in a box for 3 weeks now and was searching on how to thread this wonderful machine and ran across your videos. Yes, I was like wow we went through the same thing at the store. I wanted to buy an industrial machine but was running into to many loopholes and they told me to test this machine out. I was sold. And now thanks to your video, I am up and motivated, with machine threaded now and ready to go! Yessss! Thank you so much for this video. Looking forward to watching many more of them.
You are probably going to love it.
I'll be buying the HD9 BE next week. Can't wait! Thank you for this video.
Janice I really do love this machine and I still use it daily.
Great video and commentary. I've been looking at the same machines you were, and the heavier thread for bag making does entice me to strongly consider the HD9. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I'm so glad you watched it. I'm really in love with it.
I just saw you video. I just put a HD9 on layaway and so excited to get home. Got an awesome deal like you. Swear we so alike. I also have Singer 9960. Love it. I got HD9 cause I need something for when I start making bags. Also I am new to quilting. I do have the janome M7, actually it's my mom's but it sits in my living room. Love all. My next machine will be Janome M17.
We are total twinzies. I bet you will be in love with your HD9. If I get an M17 it will be because Janome gave it to me. I just don't think I can swing that addition into the mix. And I refuse to get rid of my M7.
Hi! I bought 2 machines last year!! Same day as well! Neither have even been threaded yet but I am making a purse for my grand baby so I have been watching lots of videos on my hd9be! This week end I will make that purse! Next is the baby lock victory serger!
I think I did the same & I have never threaded my serger. We will get to it.
Enjoy your attitude and I hope to watch more from you. I'm trying to share your video with family members but I'm 80 and not technology wise. I am looking for a new sewing machine as soon as I figure out how to share this video.
Oooh I hope you find a sewing machine you love as much as I love this one. I think you are plenty tech savvy because you commented and shared. Go you.
Love the quilt on the chair you are sitting on. Wow. Beautiful
Thank you the video for it is on my channel too. It's by lazy cozy quilt
I tried the Juki 2010 but it really couldn’t handle the heavier thread in the bobbin which defeated what my goal was. I shipped it back and will definitely check out the Janome. Thank you . Very informative and entertaining.
Oh no! I'm sorry your machine didn't do what you needed. Let me know if you like the Janome its still my jam.
I bought the HD9 because of you yay I bought the black one thank you so much for your review ❤
Can you feel my jealousy? Congratulations I'm super geeked for you.
Subscriber #6 ❤ awesome video. Thank you 🙏
I'm happy to share
Very good information, I’m looking to buy a janome!! Thanks
I totally support that decision I still love mine.
love your hair puffs and that bow too! So cute! You look happy! :)
I'd just bought a sewing machine. I'm usually very happy by nature. Thanks so much for dropping by
I love big bobbins, I cannot lie! I also wondered why they can’t use a spool.
You and me both. Thank you for commenting
Your quilts are AWESOME too! Mad style. Like 80s vibe. Love it. I'm an 80s girl. :)
Thank you so much for noticing. Stay tuned there is so much more coming
Thank you for the video! I have Singer Quantum Stylist myself and contemplating getting a new machine. I have checked the specs of HD9 and it seems great, especially that it is so fast - I'm seriously considering of getting this one myself too. Happy you got maaaaaany more subscribers now and I'm sure you'll have many more :)
Thanks so much for watching. I love this machine so much I'm getting another
I have had a Janome since 1984. I made a few things on it but put if away for a lot of years. I pulled it out during lockdown and after a visit to the repair shop (timing) we are rippin and runnin. When it is time to replace the old thing I will definitely be getting another Janome, probably an HD3000 (Black) Thank you for your video and welcome Ayo to TH-cam.
I think I'm going to buy an M7 very soon
You make me want to quilt!
Anyway I love your reviews on this machine. I sew layers of faux fur and I've burnt out so many machines 😬.
I'm thinking this machine will work well for my crafts and allow me to start some new sewing projects in the future
I think this machine is killer. I've thrown so much at it and it never disappoints.
piecing correctly takes patience and the correct rulers as well as knowing your machine and cutting accurately. I have been quilting for 25 years and I am dead on accurate with all my points and I do this by making sure that when I cut my fabric it's accurate and then using 1/4" foot that makes my piecing correct as well and measure measure measure as you work through your piecing. Have a 1 x 6 " ruler and get used to using it. Glad you found a great machine to help you learn to be a great piecer. A cheap machine did not help (singer) now you have a great machine and it will make your projects so much better. Good luck!! Thanks for the review I am looking for a HD9 for my handbags (I have a Bernina 770 QE plus, yes I have expensive taste lol - and this is my 6th machine in 25 years..my hubby loves me and I sew like a demon lol).
Thank you so much for your comment. I love that you have a top-of-the-line Bernina but you still want an HD9. You are absolutely right I am a much better piecer now. My Singer machine was lovely for that time in my life but my new machines are definitely great for where I am now.
I just ordered the black edition of this machine! I’m so excited!! I make dolls and little doll clothes I can’t wait to try it out with this machine
I'm jealous the black one is beautiful and sleek.
@@MACoutureCrafting I tried it out in the store and it’s just so beautiful! And the function is so smooth and fast!! I had been looking at the MC6650 but I just don’t need all that extra stuff right now and that beautiful sleek HD9BE just sang to me.
@@jeanbeicher2420 I just finished sewing on mine and I love it. The black one would've been my choice though
@@MACoutureCrafting keep sewing and please please keep sharing. I love your videos!!
Thank you so much for sharing this info I’m in the market for a straight stitch machine with power and I was going to go with the Juki TL 2010Q until I saw your video. I’ve been quilting since 1984. I had been sewing on a Bernina 660 QE that I love but it’s a computer machine and the circuit board is no longer available so I need to find a machine that will last and last for years to come. I paid over $3,000 for my Bernina over 22 years ago and I’m not going to pay $5,000 - $8000 for a new computer machine that will be obsolete in 25 yrs bc I can’t find a circuit board! So you sold me on this machine cause all I wanted was a straight stitch machine since all I do is quilt and make bags so thank you for making my decision an easy one 😍
I'm so happy you found my videos. I absolutely love my machine I think you will be happy.
I went to my sewing machine center here in town and got to hear how quiet the Janome HD 9 is! Wow I love it! It’s on special for $1499 till the end of December so I’m gonna put one on layaway I can’t wait to get it! Thanks so much for this video!
You are amazing. I have a Judi Haruka. Janome is an amazing machine and I struggled with my choice. It came down to. Price and I get an amazing deal. I’m a new subscriber as of today. I LoVE your energy. God bless.
I'm so glad you found me. I think you made a lovely choice you can't go wrong with either one. You are gonna be sewing everything so fast.
Great topic, thanks for sharing it 👍
I'm happy to do it
@@MACoutureCrafting I have to follow more video on your channel to know more, thanks again 🙂
Thank you for the awesome information. I'm looking at a new machine since I started sewing items with cork. I have a Singer Quantum 9060 and so does my sister. My Singer was awful from the get go and my sisters is a work horse. I spent over $150 to get the timing and other issues fixed only to get it back and have it breaking needles which wasn't why I took it to the sewing center in the first place. With that being said, last April 2021 I went out and purchased a Pfaff Ambition 630 it does what I need it to do, but now since I started making purses, wallets etc with cork, my Pfaff isn't handling the bulk :( I started looking at the Juki TL 2010. I also have a 26 year old Janome ME4123 but I rarely use that anymore, it still works perfectly, I just wanted more options. Thanks for this video, I'm going to look at the Janome I know they have a great product.
I loved mine so much I bought a second one to travel with.
I needed this video and it's so crazy because these are the 2 machines I'm considering. My mind is set, I'm saving up for the HD9. Thanks for talking about it like buying a car. I will be checking out prices at different shops before I drop all this cash on a machine
I'm happy it helped and something else because it's such an easy machine to work you don't need classes really so you can order it from whomever gives you a great price. For computerized machine I try to stay closer to home.
Wish I had seen this before I bought my Juki 2010. I think I might try to sell my Juki and get the Janome HD9. I’ve had the Juki for less than a month. I have 2 other Janome machines, don’t know what I was thinking. Thank you for all the good info.
I'm sorry that you don't love your Juki but I have nothing but good things to say about my HD9
30:30 Polyester thread, or silky type threads, will unravel faster than your mind when you see what happens without that net. Relaying a story told by a friend. 😁😁the light would be useful to help with threading though, right?
I bought so many nets. Your friend is not wrong.
Coming on to see if you still have your HD9 and if you still love it??
Not only do I still have it I bought a second one to travel with. A video about it will be coming soon
omg I LOVE Your craft room! It's amazing!
You are too kind. It's just a desk with too much stuff on it.
This is one I have been looking for! I am glad you have this video and now I made decision on janome vs juki! Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found it helpful
I just bought an Janome HD9 … was looking for a machine that will be happy to help me through my sewing BAGS journey … just began sewing bags in January of 2021, bought a Juki TL18QVP and wanted another machine for bag making at the next level - two of my favorite resources - one near home in FL and the other near home in SC both told me I needed the Janome HD9. Receiving it in my SC home in May. Cannot wait, but very nervous to try it. Love my Juki, but needed something to easily sew on leather.
This comment was right on time. I'm currently testing the Juki 18 QVP I'll be giving my thoughts on the machine in comparison very soon. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
How is your juki tl18 compared to your HD9?
That quilt behind you is spectacular
Thank you so much I bet there is probably a tutorial on it somewhere.
Lots for me to think about. Thank you!
It really made a difference I understand
Now that you've had it for 2 years, would you buy it again? Is it still making bags like a champ? Thank you for the amazing video! Looking at a semi-0industrial myself. Mainly for bag making.
I'm glad you asked. I bought another one. I haven't done the video going into detail but I now have two. I haven't made many bags but the few I've done were no problem.
Btw...love that quilt behind you, especially the orange/purple piece.
Thank you I probably have a video for it somewhere on the channel. I can't remember which one it is.
Omg I love your video sooooo much! Literally comparing these 2 machines so the title snagged me, but your ENERGY!! New sub, can’t wait to see more 💛
Awww thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment I have so much more coming. Welcome to the club
I RAN to my dealer right after watching your video. They had a used one for $1,000. Hope that was a good deal. I'm excited to have fun with it!
Yay. I'm so happy that you enjoyed my video and bought one. It has changed my sewing life drastically and I'm falling more in love with it daily. Thank you so much for sharing.
Your journey sounds so much like mine I also started with that the singer quantum doing quilts and then I moved to the Janome 9450 and then I got into bag making and I tried to make the bags on the 9450 and I was just killing the machine so now I have a real industrial Juki 1541 I still quilt but I also bag make
Oh boy! We do have twin journeys If I had the space I might have bought a legit industrial too. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for this. Really informative.
You are more than welcome
I'm not a quilter. I'm only recently getting back into sewing with my 27-year-old Kenmore, which was made by Janome. I had been considering Janome's HD series for heavy duty sewing. But I will consider your recommendation if I get into quilting, which has been at the back of my mind. Thank You 💞
Oooh bring that quilting to the front. The community is so much fun. The shapes and colors and fabrics are a hoot. I still love my machine.
Your description of how fast it sewed is like the female version of guys and sports cars 😆.
There is a channel I like called Power tools with thread because that is exactly what it is. Lol Thanks for watching
Loved this! You have me thinking about one of these but I need to wait as I just got a new Pfaff 😂
Congratulations on your Pfaff. Even though I have an M7 this is still my #1
Thank You so much for your review. I almost bought the Juki with the cutter in the pedal. I need a powerful machine to glad through Denim and heavy weight dense fabrics. This is it other than a industrial machine which I did not have space. I never heard of semi industrial machines until this year 1600 stitches insane.. Tip on sewing is just keep practicing and reading patterns and it will be like riding a bike. I believe everyone should own a machine as a practical appliance like Rowenta Iron :) Keep on Shining Love the AYO
Awww you are too kind. The Juki is cool but I love this HD9bs9 much better. I think you will be happy with how this sews denim. If you can get it under the needle I don't think you will have a problem.
Your story sounds so familiar. I started on a singer quantum stylist but soon realized that a 50 watt sewing machine wasn’t necessarily cut out for all styles of quilting. Still love it. Just not for quilting. I now own a Juki 2010 and Bernette B79. Between the two, I’ve been able to do just about anything, including embroidery. Like you, though, my eye is on that M7 if I ever decide to up my game and sewing space. It’s hefty in size and price. Lol. Thank you for your video!
Yes that M7 looks amazing. I want to be able to embroider so badly I can't wait to get an embroidery machine. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much i will get one
You won't be sorry.
I subscribed because you are so easy to listen to. First time to see you and - I like you! I like your diversity vibe-I care about that too.
Thank you so much for subscribing. I'm having so much fun on this journey and sharing it with everyone.
Love this review! I am torn between this machine and the Brother PQ1500SL, and your video has been very helpful.
I understand the struggle. Thank you so much for sharing. This machine is the love of my life. Let us know what you decide.
I LOOOOVE my HD9!!!! I purchased this one over a Juki because I was told (albeit from the Janome dealer - but he's also a repair technician) that Juki parts are hard to get. Even though both machines are from Japan, Janome parts are easier to come by.
I love my HD9 too.
Just found you! Bought the HD and can’t wait!!
I think the Janome HD9 is pretty much the Singer S16, which I have. It looks just like it, including the placement of all of the features (all 3 of them😀). I am so, so glad I have it. That 1600 sts per minute is wonderful, the stitches are so even, if you do a lot of sewing, an industrial straight stitch is just great. I learned to sew in the mid-'60's, by both my mother and my paternal aunt who was a successful children's fashion designer. It was drilled into me that it's about the patterns and the sewer, none of the extras you get now. Although I remember when my mother got a buttonholer for her old Singer. But no zigzag, stretch stitches, etc. I had an okay Singer as a young adult and I made two tailored dress shirts for a boyfriend on that thing. Other than the buttonholes, I did the whole thing in straight stitch, with the help of David Coffin's "Shirtmaking". Congratulations on your new acquisitions!!!:-)
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I bet you are an excellent sewist. My first machine is a Singer and it has done very well for many of my projects
@@MACoutureCrafting And thank you for mentioning the Quantum Stylist and your good experiences with it!:-) I am looking into upgrading my mother's 1980s (or 1990's?-- can't remember if it was for her 50th or 60th birthday) Kenmore, and am looking at the Quantum Stylist, the Viking Emerald 118, the Jade 20, or the Janome HD5000. The last was what I was originally set on, but now the first 3 are much more attractive. I wasn't going to get a computerised one, but am now softening on that. The big drawback with the Quantum is that you can't alter the pressure of the presser feet, which really helps with knits. I am making myself crazy with this decision!😀
@@amierichan1428 don't make yourselves crazy You probably can't go wrong with any machine. I loved my quantum its just not as powerful as my newer machines .
Thank you! Thank you!! So glad I watched your video, perfect what I was looking for!!!
I'm so glad I could be of some help. P.S. I still love that machine
I had to laugh when you mentioned the bobbin problem. You are so right.
I'm happy someone agrees with me.
Great video. I'm undecided like you were. For me it's between the Juki TL18QVP or Jenome HD9. How do you feel not being able to see how much thread is left on the bobbin?
@Kitchguy I have a hack for that but I just sewed on the new Bernette & if I were buying today I'd buy that.
@@MACoutureCrafting Now I have to look into that one 😂 can you share you're hack?
@@Kitchguyyes I did it's on my page just search my name and bobbin hack
@@MACoutureCrafting thank you so much
I finally just put in my order for a Janome HD9! I’ve been obsessed with finding one for a good price since I watch this video!
I'm still loving mine. I'm going to do an update video soon. I'm glad you got a good price for it.
Jun 4, 2022. Good Video. Are you from Southern California?
Yes. I'm absolutely from Southern California thanks for watching. If you haven't done so already check out my videos for some "localish" shops
Great video. I own a Juki and immediately ruined the topstitching on a byAnnie bag when I inadvertently cut the thread. How do you compare the power of the HD9 to your M7? Can the M7 handle as many layers? My disappointment with the HD9 are the feet. Why didn’t Janome put a AcuFeed foot or something similar on the machine instead of selling a conventional walking foot. It sounds like you really put the Juki and HD9 through the paces. This definitely helps a consumer like me make the right choice.
I grinned the entire video. Janome is awesome. 💜💜
I'm so happy you stopped by to watch
You are wonderful! What you said about your blocks never coming out the size they're supposed to and the seam with not coming out the way it's supposed to, that's so me! I started quilting last September and finally I don't really care anymore about failing block size requirements! I just try to cut the fabric bigger than I need to and then cut the blocks down! I'm looking at the Juki 2000 TL because the presser foot that comes with it is a scant quarter inch, no messing around with adjusting a needle, and the hinged quarter inch foot that you have to buy so is a quarter of an inch on each side, so you don't have to turn the HST around to sew down the line. I was looking for.feet with no guides. I don't want that guide pressing it to fabric when I'm sewing down the line of an HST. No machines them except for the Juki. Nobody, including the Juki Company, knew what I was talking about, except the site Juki Junkies. I did so much research; someone ought to be paying me for it. All I want to do is what my Featherweight did - sew on the side of the foot without having to look at an indent and without having to use a guide. I've decided that sewing machine manufacturers never sew, or it wouldn't be so hard to find a foot that makes a true scant quarter inch or quarter inch, made without a guide. I bought a Destiny sewing embroidery machine for what I thought was a lot of money even though it was a reconditioned machine from a sewing store, but I'm so frustrated with the feet. I don't want to keep having to write down the numbers of how many mm I had to move the needle to achieve what I want. Good Lord. manufacturers must not even sew! I'm using my Janome 3160 and the numbers just don't match on the needle plate with the numbers on the extension table, so trying to use Washi tape doesn't help. It's so frustrating. I'm going to use the hell out of the machine before I buy it! Thank you thank you thank you for a great video!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I totally understand I used to get so frustrated but now that I have this HD9 I can get blocks to come out correctly without even thinking about it. The HD9 uses the guard on the side that I butt the fabric next to and it does not leave any indentation because it's not on the foot. I love the guide so much it has increased my love for quilting. I can't wait to know what machine you decide to get.
Did you bother to look at the brother pq1500? I'm stuck between that one and the hd9. The brother is more in my price range at the moment but I'm not sure really what to do. I soon need a new machine because my old one isn't working right. Don't have much of a selection in my area either.
I did look at the brother. It's nice. I have a friend who bought 1. They ate all very similar machines. When buying a straight stitch I say you can shop anywhere online because there is not a lot of explanation needed on such a simple machine.
I've been watching your videos on this machine. I've been looking for a straight stitch machine and was going to get a Juki, but I think I will get this one, but I want it in black, it's sleek looking. I have the Janome MC8200QCP and like you my quilt pieces get sucked down into the machine and I also want to make bags and the 8200 isn't going to do that, I had problems making a potholder. Have you done a video on the extra foot you got?
I haven't done a video on all those feet yet. I'm in the market for the black one too. I just called my dealer Robin and D& H in tustin and she said she can get it to me. So we might be twinsies soon.
You appear to have grown from 5 subscribers to over 6000 - and now one more! Because this is a great video, so full of helpful information and funny. I’m only part way through, gotta watch the rest, bbfn.
Yay I love new subscribers. Thanks for hanging with me. I'll be doing an update on this machine soon.
New sub ! You had me at “that machine was a bad mama jama!” 😂
Lol you never know what I will say. Thanks for watching.
I love my HD9, its a beast! So glad Yr loving yrs too :)
It is my JAM!
Hi lady!
I have been looking at many machines and many sewing machine TH-cam videos. I have decided on the Janome HD9 but after listening to so many ppl on the Janome HD9 Facebook groups most ppl are saying how LOUD this machine sews! I hate loud machines!!! My question to you is are you experiencing any loudness and problems from this machine or could it be person error in working on this machine??? Because it costs way too much to be a problem machine for me! Pls honestly share your experience with this machine to me since you’ve had this machine at least a year. I also just purchased a Juki HZL DX5 and it should be arriving next week. Thank you so much I trust your opinion on this machine.
I honestly couldn't tell you if it's loud because that's relative and I'm new to sewing so I'm not sure how it compares to other machines other than the Juki. I feel like there is a video on my channel of me sewing live. The thread cutter is loud but it doesn't bother me at all. The faster I sew the smoother it sounds. It's not loud to me. I hope this helps some.
Just wanna let you know thanks to your video on the HD9 I got one and I am soooo happy I did! Thanks for all your help and you are right this machine is a BEAST!!! Love it! ❤
Congrats! I’m in Northern California. I’m hoping the store you went to is willing to ship. Great video!
I believe they will ship Robin was amazing
Hi 😀 I contacted Robin and purchased the JANOME HD9 version 2. Thank you for this video, and helped me with my decision to purchase the machine and also saved me tons of time finding a JANOME dealer. Robin was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend her! ❤️👏🏾👍🏿🌸
@@Quilt4Joy I am too excited for you. I really hope you love your machine as much as I do.
I love my HD9! Happy to see how much you love it too! I hope you've tried your AT200D by now. I love it too!
I don't even remember where I put it. I will find it one day I'm sure.
I totally want one for my upholstery but it's not in my budget right now 😩
I completely understand but when you get it you will love it
@@MACoutureCrafting girl I already know. I'm counting the seconds until i get one lol
That m7 is my dream machine too🤣new subscriber! You’re awesome!
Fun fact that only you will know. Lol I bought the M7! I can't wait to do a review on it.
Wooohooo! Enjoy it! Can’t wait to see review! You’re adorable!💜
With you, Hope your site will get lots more people, Just do it and give it a little time, Faith in NC.
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I'm starting to see the growth I just need to practice patience.
Love my HD9!! MS Harriet , that's her name, flies over seams!! No bogging down on thick seams!! I had it 2 wks and I almost done with a quilt top!!
I keep telling everyone this machine is really great. I am so happy to know that you are enjoying it. I can't believe how fast you are finishing your quilt top.
When I bought my juki 18qvp I bought it from a dealer in Japan who shipped Free and I got it less than a 2000 here! Brand New. Then I traded in my janome 9450 and bought the M7! I am set! M7 IS GREEEEEAT
I love my M7 I need to do a review on it. Thanks for sharing.
You had me at OMG. :) I to am self taught the last 50 years. I sew just about every day. Plus size clothes for myself, quilts and now handbags. I about ready for a semi commercial machine. I use my brother pq1500sl. Fast and does only a straight stitch.
P.S. saving up for my first serious machine for my next adventure. A cylinder arm with detachable/attachable flat bed is my next purchase. It is the best of both worlds for leather/vinyl work for me.
I want to switch to a semi industrial machine BUT I have recently invested in a bunch of rulers and feet for my low shank machines. I don't want to have to buy new rulers 😭
I completely understand in my first videos I had bought a bunch of rulers but they were for high shank. I didn't even now what shank meant for a minute. I must say that my semi is amazing
Did you buy new rulers? My whole goal in getting a semi-industrial straight Stitch machine is to try and do my quilting at home. I'd like to delve into free motion quilting and ruler work. But like literally the rulers are sitting at the post office right now🤦🏾♀️
@@Millie.Daze. I now have low and high shank rulers
Oooh, I want to know about a serger!!!!!
Me too Jennifer stay tuned
Ha! I bought this machine about the same time as you, and then bought the MC6700P later on for decorative stitches
I ended up buying the m7 I haven't done a review on it yet but I really love that machine
Make sure you hear a click when you insert the Bobben into the machine
Thanks for the tip
Thank you for showing this video. You tell us, that one of the reasons for you to buy this machine is its ability to sew thicker thread. When I look in manual, I see a max needle size of 18/110, and you it normally a max of Tex 70 thread or perhaps Tex 90. What kind of thick thread have you tried? What kind of thick thread did the sellers or specifications told you it could manage?
Sorry for taking so long to respond at the time you asked I'd only used 50wt. But one of my favorite techniques is using 12wt to quilt. I since tried 12 wt which worked beautifully. I got excited because you are right it is supposed to be able to handle thick threads so I really pushed it an changed my needle to a 16 and sewed with Perle Cotton #5. I can't imagine I'd sew with anything thicker than that.
If it makes you happy, you’re not doing it wrong.🙂
