Excellent machine. I bought this looking for a starter machine to get back into sewing after a 10 year respite. It's sturdy quiet and has adjustable foot pressure - great machine - the new version is the Janome DC 4030. I think you'll be very happy if you purchase. It meets all my needs except embroidery. . .

I went looking to buy the TB30. I actually liked the graphics and all the pretty lights. Hey, might as well have a "light show" while sewing kites! I ended-up buying the new re-packaged TB30: the DC4030. Oh, I lost some of the pretty lights along with the graphics, as the 4030 is just the TB30 in a "plain, brown wrapper." But, not one ounce of functionality or quality! It's all there and it's just GREAT! It even came with a hard case, something I wanted and was glad I didn't have to buy separately.

No errors, no goofs, no bound-up bobbins or stitches. Just great sewing. I call it, "Janome style" when it comes to the machine's stitch quality. The SFS may be a marketing whatever, but, I'm brutally honest when I state, SFS is reality! I've sewn on other Janome machines without SFS. There is...Read more

I've had mine for almost 2 years now. It's great! I've had no problems with it. It sews nice, even, very consistent stitches. It has enough variety to do almost anything you need for DIY sewing projects. I like the one-step buttonhole, and it also has a great blind hem feature.
I anticipate using this for many more years.
