This is the Janome sew mini. This is a sewing machine my parents bought for my younger sister for Christmas. I use this machine to teach her how to sew. The sewing machine prices from 50-70 dollars.
Features
- drop in bobbin
-4 Straight stitch lengths
- 3 zig-zag widths
-Straight stitch also available in left needle position.
Things I like...
-I like how light weight and portable this sewing machine is. This sewing machine is small enough to fit on my sisters desk and still have enough space to maneuver the fabric.
-The sewing machine is quiet.
-I does its job, the stitches are neat and the machine runs smoothly.
-Awesome beginners sewing machine, great for small projects.
- kid friendly, my 12 year old sister loves it and makes doll clothes all the time on it!
Things I don't like...
-The stitches are very tiny. Stitch D looks like a basting stitch on the machine but I could not even get my seam ripper under it. I was very disappointed about the stitch length.
- small foot petal. I wish they made it a little bigger.
-no seam guide
Update 2/27/2013
A year later the machine has stopped working; My sister was using the sewing machine daily to sew felt and cotton for her beginners sewing class. I would recommend this sewing machine for scrapbooking and lightweight fabrics only.
