Sewing for beginners becomes a world of possibility with this simple sewing machine, which can handle quilting, leather, hemming, upholstery, and even basic embroidery. In a nutshell, beginner sewing reaches higher heights with the Janome HD-1000, a rare beginner friendly sewing machine with the simplicity you need, but with durability that even a professional sewist would require. A sturdy aluminum frame and mechanical dial controls make this household sewing machine a powerful and reliable tool - plus it's portable enough to bring to sewing classes and from room to room. This portable sewing machine for adults has a strong 3-piece feed dog system, allowing it to hem denim, repair upholstery, layer seams, and more. The extra-high presser foot lift gives you the clearance you need for bulky fabrics (like leather!) and the drop-feed capability allows for free-motion quilting, darning, and simple, hand-guided embroidery. The tailoring machine keeps things intuitive with mechanical stitch selection. The built-in automatic needle threader makes setup much easier for beginners, or anyone trying to avoid eye strain. Stitch length and width adjustments are easy to find, keeping the learning curve gentle and fun. The tabletop sewing machine runs on a dependable electric motor and includes a responsive foot pedal for precise speed control, from slow, careful stitching to a strong top speed of 860 stitches per minute. The HD-1000 also comes with premium accessories: an Even Feed (walking) foot for layered fabrics, an Ultra Glide Foot for leather, an assorted needle set, standard presser feet, a free arm for sleeves and cuffs, and a hard cover for protection. No doubt, the HD-1000 will last for years to come!" 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. ## Features - 14 Built-In Stitches including Utility Stitches, Stretch Stitches and a Simple to Use 4 Step Buttonhole - The Janome HD1000's Body is Made of Cast Aluminum and Like the Metal Machines of Years Ago the Janome HD1000 is Made To Last - Comes with A Bunch of Different Accessories Including - Bobbins, Felt, Extra Needles, Two Screwdrivers, Seam Ripper/Buttonhole Ripper, Zipper Foot, Hemmer Foot, Buttonhole Foot, a Hem Guide and a Soft Cover - The HD1000 Has A Free Arm For Sewing Pants, Cuffs and Collars and Drop Feed for Darning, Stippling, Attaching Buttons and Other Free Motion Applications - The Janome HD1000 Even Has a Built-In Automatic Needle Threader - Thread Your Needle with Ease and Without Eye-Strain ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001I1IZ2K | | Best Sellers Rank | #93,299 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #248 in Sewing Machines | | Brand | Janome | | Brand Name | Janome | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 560 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00732212274480 | | Included Components | Zigzag Foot, Buttonhole Foot, Zipper Foot, Hemmer Guide, Hemmer Foot, Bobbins, Felt, Needle Set, Large Screwdriver, Small Screwdriver, Seam Ripper/Buttonhole Open, Oil, Foot Control, Power Cable, Instruction Manual, Janome HD1000 Sewing Machine | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 6.3"D x 15.6"W x 12.4"H | | Item Type Name | Mechanical Sewing Machine | | Item Weight | 23 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Janome | | Material | Aluminum , Metal | | Model Number | HD1000 | | Part Number | B001I1IZ2K-Parent | | Power Source | ac | | Product Dimensions | 6.3"D x 15.6"W x 12.4"H | | UPC | 766008884720 732212225604 732212274480 711668386855 046958994589 | | Warranty Description | 25 year limited warranty mechanical parts, 2 year limited warranty electrical parts, 1 year limited labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Janome - **Color:** White - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00732212274480 - **Is Electric:** Yes - **Item Weight:** 23 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum, Metal - **Power Source:** ac - **Product Dimensions:** 6.3"D x 15.6"W x 12.4"H - **UPC:** 766008884720 732212225604 732212274480 711668386855 046958994589 ## Images ![Janome HD1000 Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine with 14 Built-In Stitches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gcz6kF5FL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love!! *by B***S on January 6, 2013* I just wanted a simple mechanical machine, no fancy stitches or anything, and this one looked to fit all of my requirements.

I bought a Kenmore when I graduated from High School and used it to make many, many articles of clothing ranging from dresses to suits to baby clothes until I quite literally wore it out. Then I replaced it with another Kenmore about the time my daughters were starting to learn to sew in 4-H and the three of us literally wore it out. We made clothes, quilts, repaired jeans, etc. until they grew up and I gradually stopped sewing so much. Recently I pulled out the old trustworthy Kenmore to find that I could no longer get it to do a zigzag stitch and my hubby confirmed that I had worn the mechanism so much that I might as well get a new machine. :) As I searched for a replacement I decided to try a Janome as I had discovered that they supply the machines for Kenmore. I also have a two year old Janome serger and just love it. I decided to get a machine that would do all I require without going overboard on too many bells and whistles and so wound up with the choice of this model. I have had this machine for about a week now and have tried it for a few projects to get the hang of it. I just found that I am going to be a first time grandma and must get working on all those little clothes and quilts! So how does it stack up? Well, here is what I think..... The machine came with an instruction book, two screw drivers,a seam riper, a small container of oil, extra needles, four bobbins, a package of needles, and four presser feet.The presser feet include an all purpose foot for straight and zigzag stitching, buttonhole foot, zipper foot and rolled hemming foot. The zipper foot is better than the old one I had and the rolled hemming foot is a nice option although I usually do that with my serger. The machine has a side bobbin insertion with a metal bobbin housing which is like my first Kenmore and I prefer that to the drop-in bobbin of my last machine. It makes for better adjustment of stitch tension in my opinion and just works better. It also includes a needle threader which I just love now that I am wearing bifocals. I know I will use that feature a lot! There are fourteen built-in stitch variations which are more than enough, especially if you do most of your stretch sewing with a serger like I do. The buttonhole stitch is built in but the buttonhole foot is not that great in my opinion. Fortunately, I discovered that my old presser feet from my Kenmore fit like a dream so I can make buttonholes just like I have done in times past and am happy. I might not have been so happy if that were not the case. I have tried out the machine on a pair of denim Capri's that I needed to mend and while it growled at me a little, the stitches were perfect so I can put up with that. The instruction book is not nearly as detailed as my former ones, but for an experienced seamstress, this is no problem. Bottom line, this is a good all-around machine for normal sewing tasks and will serve most people well although a novice might be a little confused by the lack of instructions. Also, don't expect a great number of accessories, just the basics. I knew all of that going into this purchase so I am happy and maybe this will be the last machine I will ever have to buy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Janome HD1000 Heavy-Duty Sewing Machine with 14 Built-In Stitches - Janome Plastic Bobbins for All Home Use Models - Janome Sewing Machine Needle Denim Size 16 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1399553-janome-hd1000-heavy-duty-sewing-machine-with-14-built-in](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1399553-janome-hd1000-heavy-duty-sewing-machine-with-14-built-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
