Janome2212 Sewing Machine Includes Exclusive Bonus Bundle

I have been in the market for my own sewing machine for a few months. My mother has been sewing all of my life, so I caught on to the craft at an early age and enjoyed tinkering on her machine to make little projects. As an adult, I have been making trips to her house to use her machine when needed. I recently decided that I'd like to be able to make and mend at my leisure with my own machine, so I started researching and comparing the top brands on Amazon.I didn't want to spend more than $175 on a sewing machine that I wouldn't be using everyday, but I also didn't want a low-quality machine that would only sew one layer of material at a time. My initial needs for the machine were Halloween curtains, Halloween costumes and leather seat covers for my car. Obviously, I needed a machine that would allow me to sew through leather so I started looking for "Heavy Duty" sewing machines. My first search led me to a Singer, which is what my mother has and what I'm used to. I literally had that machine in my Amazon cart and was about to check out when this Janome caught my eye in the recommended section. After reading the reviews and comparing the two machines, I knew this was the one and I bought it on the spot. I am so glad that I did.This machine performs all the basic functions of any standard sewing machine and it does them extremely well. The speed with which it sews is phenomenal; I finished a quick set of curtains in under ten minutes and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The Exclusive Bonus Bundle is also fantastic. The other machine I was considering hardly included any extras, but this one has a full pack of extra bobbins, two packs of replacement needles, replacement presser feet, and a METAL (not plastic) 4-step buttonhole foot as well as a detailed and helpful instruction manual. It has the ability to sew 12 different stitches (I have only experimented with a few, but they have all worked beautifully) and I have not had issues with my thread breaking even once (a far cry from my previous sewing machine experiences). I find myself looking around the apartment for things to mend or re-purpose so that I can keep using my machine! When I'm finished with a project, my extras and tools go inside the slide out compartment on the machine, the dust cover goes on top, and the machine and power cord go into the closet. I don't have to leave it out because it's too heavy to move, and it's always a breeze to set up; just plug it in and go!All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned seamstress, this machine offers a top quality performance to help you create beautiful projects with ease. I recommend the Janome 2212 Sewing Machine one hundred percent.

I have been sewing for my whole life.This is my 5th machine, and I currently own 3. This is my first Janome.Mostly I sew military gear, basic items like curtains, hems, patches, name-tapes, pillow cases, tablecloths, with a few hard core items like sunshades, outdoor curtains, and back packs.I bought this sewing machine to handle the tougher jobs that my expensive and delicate Viking cant deal with (experience =repair shop). The Janome 2212 can power though mostly everything and not get tangled up underneath. When she does get snarled I can plow through by using the hand wheel and keep on sewing.This is an awesome sewing machine!!!!!!!!! Very basic. Very easy. Very strong.I Recommended this machine for beginners that don't want to by a Rolls Royce as they make sure they want to sew and/or while they learn. I also recommend this machine if you want to do basic stiches on thick materials or multi-layers. It does fine on delicate work - but I wanted it for the harder thicker materials and jobs. If you want a machine that can sew through almost anything- and don't need a bunch of fancy stitching- here it is.Highly recommend.

I purchased this machine back in June of this year & waited a bit to review.I am a complete beginner & chose this machine because of good reviews & the fact that it comes with a paper instruction manual which I refer to often.Overall I really like this machine & have used it almost daily to piece the top of my first quilt & also to alter my jeans to fit better(use a denim weight needle for that)I had disassembled the bobbin hook, race, etc & assembled again to clear out dust & fuzz . After that my needle kept jamming in my bobbin holder. I consulted the manual & googled about the problem but could not figure out what the problem was.After 2 days of sweating over it II took it to a sewing machine shop & the very helpful man showed me that I had reassembled the bobbin case plastic screw holders bottom up ( instead of top down).This is not clear in the instruction manual so I wanted to make it clear in case anyone else was having the problem. When assembled correctly both plastic tabs will cover the metal dot on each side.you should not see the little metal dot.I hope this is helpful.

I bought this for my mom as a gift since she has been wanting it for a long time. The weight of this machine is good and not too heavy for her (it has a handle and it comes with a plastic cover up). The stitch quality is great. The material is plastic

I had bought the Heavy Duty Singer sewing machine and it messed up within 2 months. I called the warranty department and they said Singer machines are being made in China and aren't the standard they used to be, so I looked for American made and found this one. It's a GREAT machine! It sews so smooth and goes through thicknesses with ease. I should have done this a long time ago.

This is a great machine. It glides through thick to thin materials with ease, and as of this writing, it has not bound up or tangled once. we are very happy with this machine...

Did not work when I got it. Bobbin would not fit in the machine. I returned for a different brand.

This is a mid-range mechanical machine at an entry level price, my last Janome machine lasted me 25 years (it was stolen, it didn't actually wear out) and this seems to be an equivalent (albeit much newer) model. This one is lighter than my old one, but it's also quieter.So far I've used it for hemming some men's slacks and replacing a (light weight) sleeping bag zipper and handled both jobs beautifully.
