Janome HD1000 Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine with 14 Built-In

Product Review

With unsurpassed quality, a cast aluminum body, drop feed, a free arm, an automatic needle threader and much much more the Janome HD1000 is quite an impressive machine. The Janome HD1000 is powerful enough to be called a Heavy-Duty Machine (HD stands for Heavy-Duty) yet is light enough to be taken on the go. This machine can go wherever you go and give you solid performance. The HD1000 has snap on and off sewing feet for easy presser foot changes. The Janome HD1000 has dual thread spool holders, a great feature for twin needle sewing. No more aggravation over the tension, an easy to adjust tension control gives you complete control over the tension on the HD1000. The HD1000 has 14 built in stitches including utility stitches, stretch stitches and a simple to use 4 Step Buttonhole. The HD1000 has a free arm so you can sew cuffs, pants and collars with professional results. For those times you need to put your HD1000 to rest there is an included soft cover to protect your wonderful machine. The HD1000 even has a Built-In Automatic Needle Threader - Just pull down the needle threader, put your thread in the hook and in front of the needle, pull back and your needle is threaded! The HD1000 comes with a bunch of great accessories including bobbins, felt, extra needles, two screwdrivers, seam ripper/buttonhole ripper, zipper foot, hemmer foot, buttonhole foot and a hem guide. Many people say "Nothing is made of metal anymore." Well they are wrong! The HD1000 is a cast aluminum body machine. Just like the machines of years ago that lasted forever, the HD1000 is made to last. The HD1000 sewing machine allows you to drop your feed dogs - A great feature when attaching buttons, darning, stippling and other free motion applications. The extra high presser foot height gives you peace of mind when sewing bulky fabric. The HD1000 sewing machine comes with an accessory storage compartment to put all your included accessories. This beauty can sew up to 840 stitches per minute!!!

Couldn't be happier..., February 11, 2010

Well, the third time truly is the charm! This is the third sewing machine I've purchased since my Singer purchased back in the early seventies died on me in about the same number of years (three). The first replacement was another Singer and the second was a Brother, both proving to be huge disappointments with limited capabilities (even with all the fancy embroidery stitches), particularly when sewing thick or heavy duty fabrics, such as upholstery fabrics, but not so with my new Janome Threadbanger. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive utility machine, i.e. ordinary, everyday seam repairs, hemming of jeans with the bulky welt seams or something that will handle heavy upholstery fabrics, this one should suffice very well.

And, as usual, Amazon filled the order expeditiously and I had my new machine in three days, all the way up in Alaska. Thanks Amazon!

This machine is a real workhorse. I worked in a tailor shop for years on a Bernina and fell in love with their machines, but could never afford one. This machine is as easy to use and works as well as a Bernina and I have since found out that Janome makes some of Bernina's machines for them, specifically the Bernette.

I just got this machine this week, but I absolutely LOVE it. I have gone through multiple layers of fleece without so much as a hiccup and have also done some finer work on thin cotton material, also without a hiccup.

It is a metal arm & base with some plastic parts. Has a storage box right on the front which is handy, and is very easy to change stitches, etc.

Definitely worth the money. You won't regret purchasing this machine.

I had a friend who makes clothing recommend the Janome brand to me. This machine is a workhorse! Strong and sturdy. We are very happy with it!
