Janome MOD-30 30-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine

This sewing machine is amazing. Every time I use it there is something new and wonderful about this. It took a few minutes to get it up and running; I am used to a Singer of my Mothers. This has automatic settings, sets up the bobbin, threads the needle and has many preset stitch settings. The instructions are very easy to follow. It has a removable arm so that you can do sleeves, the handle is hidden on the top and it has a hidden compartment to put in your extra bobbins or thread poles. I love this machine And with the ease of setup and the may preset stitches I will be able to repair, replace clothing and save money as well. I am very comfortable using this and am very impressed how easy to set up, and to use.

The Janome sewing machine is a great machine to consider if you're looking for a light-duty or first sewing machine. The booklet that comes with it is clearly written with lots of pictures so that it is easy to see how to thread it and how to determine if the thread tension is correct or not. The controls are electronic and you can select from a variety of stitches and stitch lengths and stitch widths. There is also a foot that lets you insert a button to create perfectly-sized button holes. (Note: experiment by making a button hole on a scrap before sewing your garment. I found that I wanted the hole slightly longer than the button to avoid stretching or ripping the button hole, and the booklet tells you how to do this using the button hole foot.) You can also create corded button holes using the foot. The machine had the power to sew through multiple layers of light cotton blend easily and most of the fabrics that I use. I would recommend you do as the booklet says and run a scrap piece of fabric through the machine and let it sew that a few times before you do any serious sewing. This lets you see how the machine works, plus, if there is any oil on the sewing plate, it will remove it without soiling your good project. The sewing machine is light, so it is easy to move around and store, and one thing I really liked was that you can remove the part around the sewing plate to have a free arm for things like hemming/sewing sleeves and the piece that comes off to allow this actually has a compartment to hold the bits and pieces like needles and sewing feet for the machine. That means you are less likely to lose all those small components. If you are just learning to sew, or simply want a light-duty machine for things like quilting projects, hemming, or the occasional outfit creation, this is an excellent choice.
