Janome Heavy Duty HD-3000 Black Edition Sewing Machine with Bonus 6 Piece Quilting Kit

While I'm very much a beginner, I'm not unfamiliar with sewing machines. I've owned a couple of sewing machines, but I've never been a very serious sewist.I started with a mechanical Brother and it was difficult. I switched over to a computerized Brother (a mid-level machine) which was significantly easier to manage with my skills. Pillowcases, dog coats, never overly serious about sewing, but not a total newb.However, after getting a little more serious about sewing (and wanting to learn quilting), I realized I wanted a sturdier machine.I decided I understood tension, stitch length, etc., and

I bought this machine a year ago it was a great machine at first I loved it ,but after a few months it broke I took it to be repaired and they told me it was a defect from the factory. So I got in touch with Janome USA in New Jersey. 5hey told me to send to them to be fixed they fix that problem then the bobbin wonder didn’t work had to send it back again then something else broke sent it back now I have it back and now the bobbing keeps jamming and I’m making medical masks for all the nurses and EMTS and it is definitely slowing my work down . Can’t even sew a straight line it looks like I ha

We had a few canvas projects on our boat and we wanted to do them ourselves and save money. We were very close to getting a Sailrite, but I thought we should give a "heavy duty" sewing machine a try first, and the black version was only $270 when I bought it. I have used it for drapes, cushions and repairing canvas enclosures, and it has done really well. That was with V92 thread and #18 needle. A walking foot would definitely be nice, but until we hit something this won't handle, we will keep using it. I agree with others, I don't much like the black color as it is hard to see your work, but

I really like this sewing machine. Been a while since I've sewn with a mechanical so it takes some getting used to. For me, It had just a bit of a learning curve, but that was just because it was new and I'd never sewn with this machine before. We do have to get to know our new machine! A beginner may have a bit more of a challenge at first. But its really not too hard to learn...I've been wanting a Janome for many years. I got it in April this year 2021, used it for the first time, without doing any adjustments to it. My first project was hemming a pair of my new jeans, (this machine is noted

Nice machine but if I were to choose again, I would not pick a black machine. I find it is harder to follow the fabric and thread when using it.

I've been sewing for many years but not much industrial sewing. I bought this to add surf pockets to our boat bimini. This involves sewing heavy canvas with heavy weight thread and heavy sewing needles. I have enough experience with machines that the few tension issues I ran into I was able to fix pretty quickly. There is a fair amount of tension adjustment. When I used this to sew a thinner material for blind backing, I had tension issues similar to some other reviewers. So, while his machine works great on heavy materials, I won't use it on lighter weight materials.When sewing the bimini, at

Brand new machine. After about a half hour of sewing medium-heavy canvas, during which time it worked fine, made a nice zigzag stitch, the machine went CLUNK. And stopped. Hand wheel rotates one way and stops, rotates back and stops. Tried all controls, no dice. Machine is broken internally.Called my local Janome dealer from the website, Bob's Sewing and Vacuum in ABQ, NM, and the rather hostile employee informed me that if I didn't buy it from them, they will charge me for service despite their being the only dealer in town, and the new machine still being under its one-year warranty.It's nea

Excellent product. My wife had a basic Singer that was 20 years old. Nothing wrong with it, but I wanted to get her an upgrade since shes gotten into quilting. This machine fit my budget while having the features she would like. Performance wise is has been flawless. Very happy with it.
