Janome Memory Craft Horizon 8200QCP Special Edition

I bought this machine to replace my 25 year old singer. It was hard to spend 2K but I figured if it holds up like my singer it is worth it. So far it is sewing like a dream. Excellent 1/4 inch seams and very quiet. Very easy to use and love the extension table. Janome hit the mark with this machine! Thank you! 💕🥰 quilt blocks coming out almost perfect in size. Quilt not finished yet.

This machine is very user friendly, and quiet. One should, however, use a leader when beginning on small quilt pieces. Acceleration is slow, compared to my Brother and Singer, but I very much prefer the Janome overall and am a happy customer.

The machine is great, the seller not so much. This machine was used, though not advertised as such. I carefully chose this seller because I really wanted the extension table advertised in its exclusive bundle offer; I didn't get that - and a few feet were missing too...it is $50 cheaper for a reason. Buy the machine, but not from this seller.

The sewing machine is great. I've owned this model before and was happy then, and I'm happy now. However, the package was missing the Accu-Feed assembly. Rather than send this machine back I opted to buy another. Packaging was less than stellar as the shipment actually consisted of 3 separate packages, the sewing machine, the extension table and the thread holder. All were packed in a much larger box and there was some shifting of the main heavy box, damaging the thread holder. I again chose to bite the bullet and take the loss rather than send the entire machine back and wait for a replacemen

I love the machine. But, beware ..This offer was to include the bonus kit. I did not get it. I called Amazon and they said they were not responsible. I calledJANOME and left 3 messages. They have never called me back. So maybe if you are Looking to buy a new machine, a differentcompany may be a better choice.

The Janome 8200qcp is a big step up from our first sewing machine (Brother CS7000X). It does decorative stitches easily. The lock stitch button has the machine finish the pattern before doing the lock stitch and stopping. The automatic thread cutter will make cutting thread easier and faster. It can handle layers of fabric better than our first machine. Instructions are good, but you have to pay close attention. When threading the machine, it says hang on to the thread with both hands. It doesn't explain that your spool will dump thread if you don't keep tension on it while threading the machi

I upgraded from a smaller,14yo Janome. This machine is very big, heavy, and the very large throat is a game changer with bigger projects. The foot lifts extra high for thick projects and the machine has the umph to go through all those layers with grace. It's easy to thread, bobbin drops in and threads very easily. The (included with my package) table is huge.There's no storage case, but it comes with all the extra feet, a knee lifter that is nice to have.I don't know that there's anything unusual here for a machine that cost $2000.00 - but I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet.

I am the owner of 6 different sewing machines. The Janome 8200 was purchased for the larger throat size and a couple other features. I use it exclusively for free motion embroidery. Unfortunately, the only recommended stitch is regular straight stitch offset to left. This makes it hard to see. If using a center stitch there seem to be tension issues. (I use 3.5 tension, NOT the automatic tension which makes a tight, ugly stitch.) There is no "special" stitch like stitch #59 on a Babylock. There are frequent bird nests and the bobbin case frequently jumps out of the bobbin race and jams the mac
