best machine you can buy at this price range!!!
5 Stars
best machine you can buy at this price range!!!
Janome is a very trusted name in the sewing machine world, and when I sought out to buy a new machine a few weeks ago I did plenty of research before buying this model. I cannot stress how amazing this machine is, glides through thick layers of fabric with ease, very easy to thread, nice basic stitches and the tension is perfect right out the box. I called a local store to get a price quote on this machine before I bought it online, they told me this model retails for $449 but they had a 'great sale' going on where it was just $249. seriously buying this machine for just $150 is a steal!!!! lifetime warranty if you buy it from an authorized retailer (i did my research and the amazon online seller is authorized so my warranty is valid!)i will recommend this machine to anyone and everyone who wants to get started sewing as this basic machine will be sure to please! :)
