Any needlewoman involved in sewing has ever thought about buying a sewing machine. There is a wide range of models of different brands on the market. Among this variety, Janome machines are especially popular.

JANOME, founded in Japan in October 1921, has several subsidiaries and a number of its own sales offices in different countries peace. On the basis of production, a research and scientific center was organized. His task is to make machines more perfect by creating new functions and improving existing ones. The company also produces components and accessories for cars. All products comply with international quality standards. Currently, JANOME produces almost 300 models, including small home machines and production machines.

The company manufactures the following types of machines:

• Electromechanical. Popular and relatively inexpensive sewing machines, such as the Janome My Excel W23U. Such machines are more reliable, have several types of lines, among which there are decorative seams. They can handle very thin fabrics as well as thick ones. For example Janome 419S/5519 is great for home use Perfect for sewing thin and thick fabrics.

• Computerized. The operation of such a sewing machine is carried out using a computer board. This board contains programs that perform a large number of decorative stitches, various buttonholes, stitches for fabrics of different textures (knitwear, very thin fabrics). There is a display on which all information is displayed, which makes working with it simple and understandable. Of the popular ones - Janome DC 3600.

• Electronic. Similar to electromechanical, but they have an electronic unit. It allows you to adjust the sewing speed and needle direction. The most popular are Janome DC 4030, Janome 7524E. The disadvantage of such machines is the lack of protection against power outages.

• Embroidery. Sewing machines, such as the Janome Memory Craft 350E, which specialize only in embroidery and are equipped specifically for this.

• Special machines. These are overlocks. They are designed for edge processing. Usually used in production, work at home. Popular - Janome Mylock 205d.

How to choose a Janome sewing machine for your home, what to look for?

• For sewing what fabrics sewing machine will be used. If you plan to sew products from thin fabrics, then you can purchase a budget option with low power, for example, Janome 7524A. If the machine will sew from both thin and dense fabrics, then it is worth buying more powerful machine. There are models, such as Janome Jem, which can be sewn on leather and drape.

• Body material. The body of the sewing machine is plastic. The quality of plastic depends on the price, the more expensive the model, the better plastic. When buying a sewing machine, it is worth clarifying what the internal parts of the machine are made of. In budget options, there may be plastic elements. In more expensive models, all parts are made of metal, so they have a much longer service life.
• sewing speed. It depends on the power of the sewing machine. Also important is the force of pressure on the pedal - the stronger the pressure, the greater the speed. The speed of work also depends on the shuttle - swinging, horizontal or vertical.
• Shuttle types. In cheaper sewing machines swinging shuttles are used (for example, in Janome 1108). With such a shuttle, the speed of work is not high. Middle class sewing machines use a horizontal hook. This type provides good quality seam and ease of use. It is the most successful for home use, for example, Janome 4045. There is also a vertical shuttle. It is used in fairly expensive sewing machines, for example, Janome 7515. It allows you to adjust the thread tension, so that it does not get tangled, the seam is perfect.

• Equipment. Usually, the set includes several needles (a spare and, for example, a double needle), a foot for a different needle or for creating buttonholes. The range of presser feet and needles is very large, it is impossible to put them all in the kit. If necessary, they can be purchased. The kit may include a screwdriver and oil designed to lubricate some parts of the sewing machine.
• Line types. The number of types of stitches on the machine can be very large. However, practice shows that only a few types are usually used. In the budget segment, it is better to choose sewing machines with no large quantity lines. Since the greater their number on such models, the worse their quality can be. It is better to get by with a few basic and 2-3 decorative stitches. For example, the Janome PS-11 has 7 lines, but this does not affect the sewing quality.

• Power. The strength of the needle puncture depends on the power. Cheap models usually have low power and are designed to work with thin fabrics. On more powerful machines, you can work with dense tissues. Most machines have power adjustment and allow you to work with very thin fabrics, as well as with fairly thick and dense ones.
• Looping. Currently, all Janome sewing machines are already equipped with this function. After all, even with amateur sewing at home, sooner or later there is a need to process a buttonhole. For this there is a special foot. The loop is performed semi-automatically in several stages. On professional machines, this is done automatically.
• Built-in lighting. Regardless price category machines, the light bulb gives approximately same lighting, which is usually enough to get the job done.
• Warranty service. Choosing sewing machine Janome, find out if warranty service is possible in your city. This will save you a lot of time if the machine breaks down or if you can't manage to set up some functions yourself.
• Price. The lower the price, the less power and fewer functions the sewing machine performs. Accordingly, the higher the price, the more opportunities the car provides you. When choosing, consider what you are going to sew and from what fabrics. Is it worth it to buy an expensive model if you are only going to hem curtains or sew cotton vests.
• Service life and reliability. Depends on the model you choose. Focus on customer reviews.

Alice (Janome sewing machine 5812)

I like to make something new out of old things. Reshape, reshape. I have a dream to sew patchwork quilt. Ever since perestroika times, I have an old Jaguar. It is permissible to sew on it only with an ordinary line and a “zigzag”. For a while, this suited me, while the children were small and the fabrics were not thick - coarse calico, satin, cotton, flannel. Recently I picked up a real tailor's machine for myself with programs: overlock line, processing of elastic materials (knitwear), line with inverse function, row of stitching, trim for coat or drape. In addition: inexpensive high-quality assembly of the model.

AT mall – huge selection! I love the Janome sewing machine. Taiwan production. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost of modification 5812 - in general, the amount was 4300 rubles! Consider it for free: 12 types of line, sews absolutely everything, including jeans and leather, works with backlight, foot with bartacking engine, buttonhole punching, the motor works with a pleasant quiet rumbling.

• The sewing machine has a removable nozzle for sewing sleeves, cuff seams, bottom of trousers. Spare needles, bobbins, special presser feet, a ripper, miniature screwdrivers and various necessary little things, such as brushes for cleaning the legs, are also stored there.
• The bobbin is removed with a slight pressure, wound on a special device for winding the thread on a separate lever.
• Mode switches are decorated with two convenient rollers. With their help, select the stitch size and the type of stitch you need. Options range from zigzag stitches to finishing stitches.
• The letter indicates each type of line, the desired sewing size - in numbers. The lever easily functions as a bartack at the end of a seam. The thread tension mode can be easily adjusted for different types fabrics. If you are new to sewing, read the instructions, which describe in an accessible form - the number of the needle, the size of the desired foot, the necessary threads for each type and type of fabric.
• The machine is electric, works from a conventional network. The foot pedal is connected to a special connector. idle machine
• The thread is threaded as easily as in all similar machines, there is a device for winding the thread on the bobbin.
• The lighting is very well done.
• If you did not have time to finish the work, the machine can be transferred to safe mode without disconnecting from the mains with the side switch.
• When processing knitwear, the stitches are even and strong. The SS mode is also good for regular fabrics.
• Slices and facings are processed with a "zigzag" with different variations
• Includes instructions for sewing and maintenance of the sewing machine.

Pros. The most important advantage: sews everything without exception, even jeans! Small in size, stably stable, does not jump when sewing, there are a lot of lines. Works quietly. The speed is controlled by a foot pedal. Bobbins, paws, needles fit the most common. You can buy them at any shopping center.

Minuses. The needle threader is missing. Over time, it begins to skip stitches, all the time it is necessary to adjust the thread tension. Behind where the cutter is located, the thread falls into the gap and bursts. The bobbin falls out after a long time.

Neonella (sewing machine Janome Décor Excel 5018)

I bought a Janome Décor Excel 5018 sewing machine over a year ago. The price was more than attractive. In addition, she had an extended set of paws (already 14 pieces), a lot of finishing decorative stitches. And after the old Podolka, the built-in automatic needle threader, and the horizontal shuttle that is easy to refuel, for me, it’s not funny, turned out to be in the first place. I change and thread very quickly.

The machine is easy to use. My husband and I were dealt with in just 30 minutes. There is an adviser on the cover at the top of the machine to help. There are settings for each stitch type. Very comfortably. Especially if no one sews from relatives and there is no one to tell.

In the work, my assistant fully justified herself. I sew a lot, because I have two small children and plus I earn extra money at home by tailoring. The machine sews equally well both thin and thick fabrics, with knitwear on the “you”. Not noisy.

Pros. Low cost, the presence of an automatic needle threader, the sewing machine stitches qualitatively not only thin, but also thick fabrics, the presence of a built-in "adviser".
