Review: Love!! - I just wanted a simple mechanical machine, no fancy stitches or anything, and this one looked to fit all of my requirements. Its very sturdy, and arrived in working order. (from Mr. Vac and Mrs. Sew, via desertcart) I have two other machines, basic Brothers that I've had for 5-10 years, they are good little machines but they get a bit cranky when it comes to heavier or thicker fabrics. I love how quiet it is, my other two machines are both a lot louder, no one in the house could hear me sewing from the other rooms on this machine :) Its very heavy and solid, no bouncing around while it sews. It was not too hard to thread, the instructions are very clear and easy to follow, and it wound a nice even bobbin. The manual is large and easy to read and flip through for help. The bobbin is the old school front load kind, with the metal casing and little latch, my old Brother has the same system (it looks exactly the same actually) so it was familiar to me. The thread cutter is a nice touch, I haven't used it much yet, its a hidden blade up on the upper part of the machine, near the needle threader, pull your project up, hook the thread into it and tug to cut the thread. The light is bright enough, it could be a bit brighter, but I can always get one of those stick on lights if I need more illumination. It has a drop feed mode, the lever to drop the feed dogs is easy to use, and you can raise the presser foot extra high for thicker fabrics. I only have two minor complaints- -the on/off switch is located behind the foot controller/power plug, its a bit awkward and fumble-y to reach it. -for bobbin winding, the stop motion isn't automatic like on my other machines when you slide the bobbin spindle over. You have to go to the handwheel and turn the 'stop motion' wheel before you start winding to disengage the needle. (and tighten it back to sew again when you're finished winding!!) Those are small complaints, and I'm sure I will become accustomed to them after a bit more use. Otherwise I love this machine and am very pleased with the purchase! So far I've only sewed cotton and batting, but I plan to use it on some glitter vinyl, laminated cotton, and heavier fabrics when I get a chance. it arrived with a hard case that slips over the top (the machine's handle pokes through to form the case handle, there are no latches or anything to hold it to the machine, and it won't fit over a spool of thread on the spindle) 4 clear plastic bobbins, a tube of oil, 4 feet, a seam ripper, two screwdrivers, and two red felt disks, the foot controller and plug, and a hem guide. I'm kind of excited to test out the rolled hem foot, I've never used one before :) EDIT/UPDATE: after about 7 months of use, something in the handwheel broke and it will no longer wind bobbins. I have one of those bobbin winder machine thingies that I prefer to use, so I haven't bothered to get it repaired or send it back in. I must have twisted it too far or the wrong way when trying to engage the stop motion and something in there snapped. so, be very careful when messing with the stop motion part of the handwheel :P BUT it is a total workhorse, I use it every day to sew, mostly through layers of cotton, twill, batting, and elastic. Easy to clean, open up, and oil, and very user friendly as far as maintenance goes. I still LOVE this machine :) (the placement of the on/off switch still bugs me though, such an awkward spot)
Review: No frills, excellent machine - I was torn between this Janome HD1000 and the Singer Heavy Duty. Even though I'm a sewing novice, I personally dislike the new wave of plastic bodied machines. I was using a beautiful robin's egg blue Singer from the '60s or '70s--older than I am!--and it was great until perplexing tension issues began to crop up. I didn't want a slick computerized machine taking its place, so the Singer Heavy Duty immediately caught my eye, due to its 'traditional' looking body as well as exciting features such as a drop-in bobbin and 20 plus stitches, one step buttonhole, etc. However, the lackluster reviews, complaints of a very short lifespan, and overall disintegration of the Singer brand's quality left me wary. The metal body of the Janome is amazing. Sure, it may be heavier, but the overall durability seems greater than any plastic. The bobbin is front loading, which was frightening at first (no 'jam free' guarantee) but it hasn't been a problem at all. The metal casing that holds the bobbin seems very sturdy and made to last. Though the flashiness of a thousand different stitches is alluring, I realistically use only... Two or so for my garment sewing. I haven't touched any other stitches yet, so 14 is more than enough for me. Those who are doing projects that show off stitchwork might want more variety, but again, I think the Janome's offerings are more than adequate for most people. As I said, I'm relatively new to sewing machines (I used to hand sew everything!), but I was able to use the Janome soon after it was unpacked. I had to look up how to load the bobbin, and the inner hand wheel was initially stubborn (I used one of those grippy rubber jar-openers to help--very useful!), and everything flew from there. The automatic needle threader is an amazing luxury; at first, I thought it might not really be necessary, but I absolutely am in love with it. And oddly enough, I received a hard case even though I thought this Janome came with a soft cover (but no complaints here!) I first felt guilty about being unfaithful to my older Singer, but this Janome is quickly becoming an indispensible new friend. EDIT: It's a little over a year later (9/12) and this machine is humming away beautifully. I still use the metal Bernina bobbins, and they work very well. I did have some frustrating issues with getting the bobbin thread picked up, as it seemed to get caught and jam, but I realized that this was due to my own inexperience and stupidity! As I'm sure is common knowledge for everyone else, I only needed to make sure I was bringing the needle all the way back up to its highest position before attempting to pull up the bobbin thread. I only mention this embarrassing incident in case others may have had the same problem, as I had the initial reaction of blaming the machine rather than myself. Anyway, I've sewn quilting-quality cotton to oilcloth and several layers (seriously, like 4-5) of heavy cotton duck (to make a heavy-duty saddle bag for my bike.. it went quite well, considering I pulled the plan from thin air--I'm so proud, haha) and the Janome worked right through them. I occasionally had some difficulty with the layers and layers of folded cotton duck, but that's where the extra high presser foot really came in handy! A sewing machine isn't essential in my life, as I'm a casual, hobby sewer, but I love my Janome like I would an extra arm (and who doesn't need an extra arm sometimes?), though without the self-consciousness an additional appendage would bring.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the heaviest thread, in tex, that this machine is designed for?**
A: I haven't tested all thread. T-40 will be safe.  Topstitching threads are also fine with an appropriate topstitching needle. Also when using heavier threads decrease the top tension and if using it in the bobbin, it may also need adjusting.  Usually I keep two bobbin cases on hand, one specifically for T-50 and the other for specialty threads or heavier threads.  I only use this machine for travel or just straight sewing.  My answer applies to most home sewing machines with removeable bobbin cases. Happy Stitchin', BAMAY

**Q: Can I sew Leather, with this machine?**
A: Yes, you can sew wood :). It is very powerful.

**Q: Will it sew fleece, polyester, rayon?**
A: We bought the machine for our daughter, who sews dog collars- 2 layers of cotton webb, hemp or polyester webbing plus 2 layers of decorative ribbon.  It sews through all the layers without a problem.  She has also sewn 2 layers of jacket lining & it was fine.  Something you might want to do is check out a Janome dealer, who might have machines to try out.

**Q: does it come with a case ?**
A: what kind of case?
