Janome havy duty,November 3, 2009
By brgnshpr99from VA
"I am pleased with my purchase. I've tried more expensive sewing machine with lots of functions inbuilt. I wasn't happy, because half of the functions I won't be using ever. I like this because it's just right for my daily needs, has one step button hole and it's "heavy duty". That's what I need for home decor fabrics.It came nicely packed, with manual and all the parts. After using it for over two weeks now I love it. The motor runs quite and smooth, machine is light weight and it's very simple to use. I would recommend this to anybody, beginner or pro."

Love this machine!!,November 1, 2009
By beachmelfrom Redondo Beach, CA
"I ordered this Janome machine so I could take a sewing class and learn to sew finally. This machine is so incredibly easy to use and sews perfect every time. Super easy to thread. Anyone can use it. As a first time sewer, I just wanted a basic machine. You can't even tell that this is a refurbished machine. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a basic machine without all the bells and whistles for a decent price."

"I haven't sown in years but this sewing machine made it easy to get back into it. The instructions were easy to follow and the sewing machine glided through thick material.Even though it was refurbished one would never know it. Thanks Overstock"

Second review,October 20, 2009
By shantelsurvey2
"I have now had this machine for over 6 months, I have sewn clothes, blankets, bags and upholstery the machine has handled everything great! The manual is very good, has good instructions and pictures for everything. Read it, you will learn a lot about your machine and how to fix minor problems. Here are a couple of things I have learned:1. You need to use janome or kenmore bobbins if you don't you will have a problem with the thread. Other bobbins may look the same but they do not work the same.2. Pull the thread out 3-4 inches before sewing or it will get stuck and cause frustration.3. Do not use cheap thread it isn't worth it.4. If you have checked everything and are still having problems put a new needle in. Old needles really mess things up."

Excellent little machine,September 30, 2009
By alexandra14cfrom California
"It's a bit loud and for some reason you have to depress the foot pedal to a pretty significant speed to get it to start sewing. That said it has been wonderful for my sewing purposes. I've made several dresses and a messenger bag since receiving it about a month ago. It is very light, but sturdy, and has handled thick fabrics well. Very good basics machine at an excellent price."

Simple machine, works well,September 26, 2009
By Maryflfrom florida
"I received the machine in 4 days. It's a simple machine with the basic points, exactly the same functionning that my old brother machine, but the engine runs strong and smooth.No automatic needle feeding nor anything fancy but it does the job.I sewed without any problems many layers of fabric and 3 layers of heavy mesh outdoor fabric.A very good buy for the price, i just regret the 10% off comes 3 days after I purchased my machine!"

good value,August 31, 2009
By flysister
"Purchased this as a second machine for my daughter and her friends. The price was great for what I was looking for, and the machine works very well. The only negative I see so far is, I do not like the front loading bobbin. I thought it would be easier to change out the bobbins when needed, but find that it takes longer and you cannot see when the bobbin thread is running low."

Great buy,August 4, 2009
By OldDoctorKfrom Florida Panhandle
"I am very happy with this purchase. Cosmetically, the only indication that it is a refurbished unit is the sticker on the back. The shipping packaging was not factory original but it was packed carefully and well. It included the owners manual and the complete accessories package. My primary interest was to get a machine that was heavier duty than the average under $100 sewing machine and this one is described as metal frame and metal gears so I figured I would give it a try. So far it has made easy work through four layers of Jeans denim using upholstery thread with all of the stitches except #9 embroidery where it struggled. Overstock shipped promptly, I ordered on 7/25 and received it on 7/29, and the price was great."

Great Machine,July 25, 2009
By tjc100from Georgia
"This is a great sewing machine. Matter of fact, I have ordered 2, one for myself and I gave one to my daughter who wants to learn to sew. I was hesitant to order the machine because of the low price and being a refurbished machine; plus I had never heard of the Janome brand, but as soon as I started sewing on this machine, I was pleasantly surprised at the performance. I have been sewing for over 25 years and own an expensive Singer, computerized machine, which cost over $1200, 15 plus years ago. This Janome sews better than my Singer. The only thing that I do not like about the machine is the location of the bobbin; it is a front load bobbin, so you can not see the bobbin while you are sewing to see if you are getting low on thread. The plus side, the stitches are smooth and uniform in size and the instructional booklet is easy to ready and understand. It is printed in English and you do not have multiple languages to try and look through as you read through the manual.I primarily purchased this machine to take to quilting classes because it is a light weight machine but now, I find I use the machine for all types of sewing. It is a dream to sew on thick seams or fabrics. My mother loved my machine and ordered one for herself. I was very pleased with the packaging of the machine, the quick shipping, and receiving of my order from Overstock. I would highly recommend this machine and the Janome brand. It is a wonderful basic sewing machine."

Janome11558 Heavy-duty Sewing Machine,July 2, 2009
By mfinn15from Massachusetts
"I bought this for my sister who does quilting and she is delighted. It is refurbished, however, it works like a charm and the price was perfect as was the shipping on it. It is lightweight and I would recommend this for someone who does quite a bit sewing, such as quilts, since it is sturdy, easy to work, and has passed her expectations. She was going to buy a new one, however, no need now. I would recommend this to anyone who uses a sewing machine or either a minimal basis or like my sister, daily."

Good basic machine,May 29, 2009
By johnb123from Portland, OR
"Just what I was looking for. It appears the only "refurbishment" it had was the Kenmore label on the bottom right front of the machine was removed (light scratching where it was buffed off), and the Janome sticker was applied (a little crooked, but who cares?). Oh, and the owner's manual has a new cover. The machine arrived in molded styrofoam packing designed for it. Runs fine, although have not yet tried it with heavyweight material."
