Disadvantages: None

...other weighted fabrics and the Janome J3-18 handles all very compentently. It doesn't struggle and sews with ease and perfect stitching (pending on the user!!). I have also found the machine really easy in terms of changing the feet - it's very simple to change from standard to zipper foot, to button hole foot. It is also really easy to change a needle or alter the position of the zipper foot, as the machine supplies its own mini screw-driver. Another ...
...I would definitely recommend the Janome J3-18 to anyone looking to buy their first sewing machine, or anyone looking to get back into sewing. I am improving in my ability all the time but I won't be changing my machine for a long time - it's got everything I need! ...

Janome Memorycraft 11000, Dreams and nightmares

Advantages: Solid, hardwearing, does it all.
Disadvantages: A very heavy machine, a lot of information to get to grips with

I have had this machine for a few months now. It has a totally mind boggling array of functions some of which are still eluding me. Instructions :- I was expecting to receive something the size of an encyclopaedia with this machine in order to explain all of its functions, however I was pleasantly surprised by the document that I did receive. It is well set out logical and easy to navigate, covering all applications. There are questions that I have ...

Review of Janome MemoryCraft 11000 Sewing & Embroidery

Elna 5100

Advantages: Easy to use and good quality stitiching
Disadvantages: doesn't like cheap thread

The first thing I made was a chiffon top which I would never have attempted on my old machine and it sewed it perfectly. I particularly liked the seam and overlock in one step stitch. The only problem that I have had with ...

While Not On Ciao, This Is Something Else I Do!

Advantages: Fantastic designs, features and very high quality.
Disadvantages: Not portable and heavy.

...house and after our last Brother gave up the go (It has lasted more than 8 years of hard labour!) so it was time to get a new one. Of course I resorted to the internet which most of us do now a days. We decided to stay with Brother as we knew the brand well and was very happy with our last eowing machine. However times had really changed since we bought out last machine. After doing a lot of comparison on the Brother website What Is It The Brother ...
...some very good freebies. Brother Direct - I felt it was a complete rip off at an incredible £308 which we felt was not a good price at all. You would expect it from the manufactorer to be cheaper than anywhere else but I was highly wrong. I would avoid as you just get the machine and have to pay extra for the accessory kits. Argos - I didn't realise until after some research that Argos sell this product. This was highly convient for us as the ...
