    Thank you for the video. Even experienced sewers make threading mistakes once in a while. It’s good to see threading mistakes corrected. I have always been told to wind the bobbin at half speed when using polyester thread because polyester thread stretches. Maybe that is the reason Janome has a slower bobbin speed.

    I have a different model Janome, and it doesn't do the lockstitch when you stop with the same stitch pattern. You wouldn't want it to do that if you are stopping to pivot or in the middle of a seam. There is a button over the start stop button that does it with one touch. It also has the same non-functional storage box. As far as I'm concerned, that's why cookies come in tins.

    I recently bought a Brother PS700. Within a few weeks, I have used the wonderful manual to figure a great deal out. I quilt, so yes I use the drop feed dogs function a lot. Have already cleaned the bobbin area several times. Have a Singer Heavy Duty which I nearly wore out in just a few years. I have an older Singer Merritt too. I like all my machines for various reasons. Thank you for your videos!

      hi i have several machines too. I have two Kenmores that are about 52-56 years old and work well. I just bought my 3rd brother and I love it. it is an XR3340 and it is the best first time electronic machine ever. I am a fan of brother and I think that is because that was the first brand I went with. I also have a Singer 221 black which I love. go quilting..beginner quilter here.

    Thanks! I had considered buying this machine for a small travel machine. As for the feed dogs...many people drop them to free motion quilt on their regular machines, as I used to do before getting a longarm, and others will drop them to do thread painting working or in hoop work.

I have to say the Janome is an amazing machine, I also have singer 201, which I drop feed dogs on too. Hope that helps.

    First off thank you a ton for making these videos! I haven't been sewing that long, my husband taught me how to sew. Yes my husband taught me. I use mine to make small quilts right now but will be making bigger ones pretty soon. I have a Brother ce1100prw. The one my husband taught me on, is his from High school, I'm not sure what brand it is. Anyway, he got me the brother prw as a gift. Until recently I had only used it once maybe twice when I got it. Just got to be able to use it again about a few weeks ago. I plan on dropping the feed dogs to slow motion quilt. My brother has a storage like this one in the video but it came with a small pouch. I just use a pencil box for my stuff instead of the storage. I don't like the clumsiness of the storage myself. I've had a few "battles" with mine in the last couple of days. I have looked at other sewing machines for when this one goes. BTW, love your "commercial" for your seam ripper, cracked me up!

    I own a Singer 201-2, 500a, Kenmore 158-1941, 158-1802, and 158-1430, all except the 500a can drop the feed dogs. The 500a raises the needle plate. I rarely use it. All the automatic features and electronics built in are going to fail within a decade. For my money, you can't beat a Kenmore free arm machine built before the late 70s. All metal, built like tanks, smooth, POWERFUL, durable and strong piercing power. My 158-1941 is 44 years old and does just about anything I ask of it. Anyone serious about sewing should consider buying vintage. I hope you sell them in your shop. Stay well 🙏

    I bought two of that model brand new and both went back. They are good machines but I liked some important features Brother machines offered a lot more. Plus I didn't like the stitch chart and they have NO vertical spool pin. There are only three buttons to control the important functions stitch selection and stitch length and width. That's a bit cheap. The machine does not know you are done stitching unless you hit the reverse button. It will not lock the stitches every time the motor stops.

    Viewing a few minutes in I felt that he was very rough in handling the items that were in the box; then I noticed that he probably didn't know how to sew with this machine (if he reads the instructions he will be surprised how good this machine function is). He also fiddled back n forward with the tension dial, maybe not using proper needle for that fabric (not cotton), etc. But then, as the titled shows, he did make big mistakes here and he was very honest about it! I enjoy your videos, by the way.
