The only machine on this list I would even consider owning (and do own) is the Brother PQ-1500. I work for a sewing shop and we sell the Janome HD-3000 and they are "okay for beginners" but if you want a machine that will last I recommend the Brother PQ. It is a straight - stitch only machine but I have other machines that will do decorative stitches and button holes. For quilt piecing and garment construction I use the straight stitch most of the time.
Ever thought of a buttonhole attachment on your PQ1500? I purchased a brand new/old stock Griest for my PQ and the buttonholes are perfect, go around a second time to make them even sturdier. For testing I used several fabrics from chiffon through to heavyweight denim, then repeated the test on a TOL Janome ... same fabric, same thread, same needle and you can't tell which machine stitched which sample. The buttonholer will also stitch eyelets and bar tacks.
@@rhoodj Neither of them stitch zigzag unless you use a vintage zigzag attachment, but it has to be compatible with the machine. I have a zigzag attachment, but unable to find a shank adapter at a reasonable price, as yet. My recommendation is the Brother PQ it's a fabulous machine and never hesitates at anything, I have 79 feet and attachments, from compensating feet to left or right zipper feet (both short and long) to a vintage 2mm rolled hem Singer foot, it doesn't matter which one you use the PQ never misses a beat.
I have an ancient (late 1960's) Dressmaker machine that can do most of the things these machines can. It came with a box of cams and a kit of accessories and feet. I take it for a tune-up every couple of years, and have replaced a few parts, but it's still the best $150 dollars I ever spent. My only regret is that my ex-husband lost the manual, which had a trouble-shooting section that covered darn near everything you'd want to know. I've only seen one other like it, and that was at an estate sale that I couldn't go to. The only thing I haven't tried with it is embroidery, and it supposedly does that. If you want a bargain, check the estate sales!
What is the best home sewing machine close to the industrial performance level with Zigzag option? The industrial sewing machines takes too much space and moreover, a serger is also necessary. I try to a have an average sewing machine with zigzag, between home and industrial for home use. Please help.. I prefer all metal, no plastic...
Have a 3000BE on layaway and going to do some canvas work on it. My dealer said that i will have to experiment with threads for durability. I mentioned i would likely use a 120/20 needle and would braided fishing line work. 0.32mm 🧐 “that should work” hopefully it will 👍
Please! First you must know how strong she actually is/isn't to know that. My ex was petite and only 2 guys in high-school ever put her down arm wrestling, she lifted heavy stuff like it weighed nothing. Why? She was a professional pianist and played/practiced hours & hours daily from age 4 till 22 when she stopped doing world wide concerts & married. Her last was in Vienna. Strong was an understatement so I stopped thinking women were weak & quit guessing a folks strength after watching her just humiliate big guys at parties...lol Fwiw- I won against her every time, only because I rode motorcycles from age 8 so I was very strong too. This machine has a lot more metal than any new HD Singer or Brother thats for sure. You'll need to spend about twice its price just to match its build on a new machine.
Apart from the brother pq none of those machines are heavy duty. They aren’t any different to a bog standard plastic domestic machine. If you want heavy duty sew and thick fabric you need an industrial
I don't understand why people keep calling any cheap plastic sewing machines heavy duty. Do they really know what is a good performance sewing machine...😮😢😢😢
That's not an industrial heavy duty sewing machine . They have a heavy duty motor and it it is built into a heavy wooden workbench on steel legs . It was delivered in pieces like furniture and lights would flicker everytime it was used . These pirtable tabletop are all togs .
All these machines have two useless things in common and that is the presser foot never raises high enough for several hick layers and they all lack power.
That's my problem! I just bought a Singer HD 4452 and I can't lift the presser foot high enough to get my quilt binding under it. It's only 3 layers of plain cotton and one layer of thin flannel. I'm so disappointed!
Only a Singer seller or someone who dont know how to sew would say such dumb shit. Few plastic parts in a Jenome. Ive sewn 10 layers of Levi denim & leather too with no issues. My guess is you can't sew right!

Hi how can I get a sewing machine from you .I am living ni Tanzania
By the ease with which she picked up that first machine I can tell it is no heavy duty...
You are so right.

I agree I've spent 36 years working with cast iron a sewing machine whatever the weight is nothing
Singer sewing machines are tougher than you might expect. That’s why they all come with a 25 year warranty
Ever heard of arm strength?

Unfortunately none of these are heavy duty
I bought the janome hd 3000. It’s a piece of junk
Yep! The plastic flimsy parts are a problem.
