Janome Sew Precise Sewing Machine

I have not sewn in 40 years and decided to jump in with both feet. I bought this machine and it is so easy to sew with. If you have any questions the book that comes with it covers everything you could possible need to know..esp at 2:00 in the morning..
I have made numerous rag quilts and have had no problems with the 6 layers of flannel. Only thing to remember is to clean the machine when finished with the quilt.

I purchased this machine 6 weeks ago. I researched for months, read loads of info about so many machines, of all types and prices. I learned of the brand Janome through a friend who uses a Bernina. She had sewed on one and really liked it. After reading more info on the Janome website, it seemed that for a very reasonable price this machine might be just fine. For a basic model it is loaded with featutes. I have a lot of experience sewing, and know that most of the time I just need a good solid machine, not full of bells and whistles that will rarely be used. Most other sources have this machine priced much higher. Out of the box the start up is quick and simple, manual very easy, very clear. I was sewing in about 20 minutes after getting it out of the box. It is quiet and powerful. Very beautiful stitches. Easy operation. I am impressed. My main reason for this purchase was to get my daughter a good machine. After buying this one I really like this Janome, and would buy...Read more

My daughter asked me to make a denim quilt for her birthday. There were two problems: 1) I didn't have a sewing machine 2) I didn't know how to sew. My darling daughter replied "Buy one; you'll learn." So I did.

This Janome Sew Precise has made teaching myself to sew so easy. The manual is easy to understand and the machine itself has some idiot-proof feature like a built in needle threader and a picture showing how to load the bobbin right where it's needed. Probably not an issue for those with sewing experience, but super helpful for a beginner. The ease of using the Sew Precise encouraged me to keep sewing. The machine and I have sewn several quilts, including the original denim one for my daughter.

Bottom line: if you're just learning to sew (or an experienced seamstress) and want an easy to use, dependable sewing machine, the Janome Sew Precise is a great choice.
