Janome

(15)
"I love my Janome Sewist 725s."
"I have a late 90s Janome that is just fantastic."
"My wife got this one and absolutely loves it."
"Janome is a great brand and a top loading machine is much less likely to tangle up the thread."
"I would go with the Janome Arctic Crystal Beginner sewing machine. It's roughly around the same price point and is a better machine."
"I’d suggest one of the Janome QDC series."
"I bought a basic Janome a year ago and have loved mine since."
"I generally suggest vintage used machines, freshly tuned up, from the 1960s or early 70s, or a modern Janome."
"I was able to sew a denim jacket with a Janome DG 1522, only $200."
"I've been very happy with my Janome MB7."

"I personally love my heavy duty singer and serger set."
"If they're going to be sewing heavy fabrics like denim and thick canvas then this will be good."
