I love this machine! I love how easy it is to use, the color is vibrant and it’s also easy to carry around. I love that the thread holder expands as you lift it and the back thread mechanism placed where it is. Really thrilled to have came across such a quality machine at a low price.

Great beginner sewing machine!

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2024

Style: SorbetVerified Purchase

I love this sewing machine! The pink color is very cute and the machine is good quality with a metal frame. It also comes with a 25 year limited warranty. I haven’t sewed in a long time and was worried about setting a machine up, but this machine is super easy to get up and running. I like that it came with a detailed manual and another short quick reference manual to trouble shoot common problems. Janome also has videos online to help with sewing and setting up the machine. It easily sews through multiple layers and denim. On older sewing machines, the bobbin always gave me a lot of trouble, but this one makes it so easy to wind a bobbin and replace. I like that there is a diagram on the inside of the machine. The machine has a handle and isn’t very heavy, so it is easy to pick up and transport.

I LOVE THIS!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

Style: SorbetVerified Purchase

I just received my new machine today, and sewed for while to take it for a test drive. I am in love with this sewing machine! I have a couple portable Singers, and I have sewed a lot with them; but it seems like there was always something going wrong with them. It's so irritating when you have to constantly stop in the middle of a project and troubleshoot and, hopefully, fix whatever it is. Granted, I've only just received this new machine, but I can already see a huge difference between this and my Singers. This is no cheap piece of plastic, this is a very nice sewing machine! It sews beautifully, and I'm feeling very optimistic about finally having a good machine that isn't continually having problems. And it has the added benefit of its gorgeous hot pink color!! I am already in love with this sewing machine, and I'm really excited to have one that makes beautiful stitches and gets the job done. If after some time down the road things change, I will update this response, but for now I'm feeling like I got an awesome new machine for a more than reasonable price! If you're new to sewing or a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between, this sewing machine is an excellent option. It's super easy to thread and load the bobbin, too. Take a chance, I bet you won't be sorry you did!! 👍 I know I'm not!

Great machine for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024

Style: CrystalVerified Purchase

My old Kenmore machine finally went out after 47 years. I don't do as much sewing as I did in my younger days, now it's mostly mending or minor jobs. The price was right and wanted something basic and simple to use. I like that it has two spool pins. I mostly use white or black thread and can keep the extra thread or extra bobbins on the second spool pin. I've used it for heavy material and it worked just find and I used it for lightweight material and it worked great on that too. I would recommend this for a basic machine. It has enough basic stitches that you need for zipper, button holes, mending, etc.

I got this for my youngest granddaughter when she turned 10. I had gotten a similar one different color for her older sister when she turned 10 four years ago. Everyone used the first one, including their mother and grandmother (me) — both experienced seamstresses. We all agree— THIS MACHINE IS TGE BEST !! So easy to use right away.

Problem from the moment I plugged it in

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023

Style: SorbetVerified Purchase

I’ve had problems with this machine from the moment I used it. The needle mechanism keeps getting stuck and it won’t rotate, I have to forcefully manually turn it. It’s loud and makes a clunking sound when I start and stop and the bottom thread gets all bunched up. If I had used it before the 3 month return date with Amazon, I would have sent it back. Not sure if I just got a dud or if it’s been sitting on a shelf so long it now needs to be taken apart and cleaned and lubricated. Very disappointed and annoyed. I was just looking for a good straight stitch machine and this isn’t it.

Great colour and functionality

Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2023

Style: SorbetVerified Purchase

I couldn't be happier with my beautiful pink sewing machine! Not only is the color an absolute delight, but it's also a testament to the thought and care that went into its design. It's like a piece of art in my sewing space.

But beyond the aesthetics, this sewing machine has proven to be a fantastic companion for my sewing projects. As someone relatively new to sewing, I've found it incredibly user-friendly. The instructions were clear and concise, making setup a breeze. Within minutes, I was ready to dive into my first project.

The ease of use extends to the machine's functionality. It stitches smoothly and consistently, producing professional-looking results every time. The variety of built-in stitches is a bonus, allowing me to get creative with my projects and experiment with different patterns and techniques.

I also appreciate the durability and reliability of this machine. It has effortlessly handled various fabrics, from delicate silks to heavy denims, without a hitch. No more frustrating jams or tension issues.

While I primarily use it for my sewing hobby, I can see how it could be versatile enough for more serious projects as well. It strikes a perfect balance between simplicity for beginners and versatility for those with more experience.

In conclusion, this pink sewing machine has been a delightful addition to my creative space. It's not just a pretty face; it's a workhorse that delivers on both form and function. If you're looking for a sewing machine that combines style, ease of use, and performance, you can't go wrong with this one. It's the perfect companion for hobbyists and beyond. A solid 5/5 stars from me!

The media could not be loaded.

Siempre había utilizado máquinas antiguas y de fierro, las máquinas de modelo reciente y de material de plástico por fuera, me daban desconfianza por pensar en que son frágiles. Pero está máquina es bastante buena, cose muy bien las telas delgadas, los ojales y se puede confeccionar cualquier prenda casual o de vestir. Puede coser telas gruesas, pero siempre y cuando no la forcemos demasíado. Es ideal para principiantes o bien en mi caso perfectamente puedo coser un vestido,blusas,pantalones, faldas etc. El color es muy bonito!
