I bought this used around a year ago. Needed a new bobbin case and pedal but was extremely cheap. Had some issues with the bobbin case rotating but that was resolved by a small adjustment in the stop. I don't know if its my machine but I find the balance is a bit off for the circle stitch next the button holes so I adjust when needed but still not that great. I also found the light a bit lacking so have added an much brighter LED light. Its magnetic so I stuck a big metal washer to the back of mine and its great.
I love the needle up/down feature and the thread cutter is brilliant. Having used a mechanical machine for the last 20 years I was hesitant to go electronic as I thought it may have less power etc. How wrong was I. The level of control to complete a single stitch is brilliant and I have recommended this machine over a mechanical a few times now. I use it for bag making and its great.All in all a great machine.

I have this machine & love it! Also have an hd9, but use this for making welding caps with the decorative stitches! Thanks for your video, Boki!

Glad you like it!

I got this for Christmas !! My husband freaked me out when he said I have to memorize the owners manual

[@2handsomeforlaw]

This is my main machine, works like a charm :)

What setting for free motion. The book does not mention it. I could not find it.

[@stvnixrcks]

I wish you showed what stitch 16 does. The manual doesn't even mention stitch 16.

Love the table ur are using in the video, will it lower to be a flat bed style and will it fit the HD9 on.Xx

Thanks for the informative video. You said the machine comes with a walking foot. You did not mention the Feed Dogs. For quilting do you drop the feed dogs ? I’m an old sewing person and have an Elna I’m told its a Vintage Machine like myself. I want to purchase a new machine but not too complicated. What is the price of this machine ? I live in South Africa and any advice and help you can give will be appreciated. I’m now into making quilts and the Elna is not user friendly anymore 🌻

I don't know about the feed dogs but I paid $699 for mine new. I haven't used it yet so that's all I can tell you.

[@EkiwwaNoel]

Can you show a janome that can do all types of fabrics? Like leather and canvas and vynil and denim?? Which one do you recommend? Thanks good video.

This not a starter machine. It's a workhorse.

[@ifratariq7177]

Is this machine also doing Pico?

[@jaywinters2483]

Can you use it to make a wedding cake also?

[@marianeladelgado6503]

How do you backstitch with this model?

[@ohyahitserika]

There is a button you press
