Ok…I’m in my 60s and learned to sew on a Singer 401A. I’ve been fashion sewing for over 50 years. I started quilting as well 12 years ago. I still use that Singer. I have purchased other more expensive machines but always go back to my Singer. I now only have that Singer and a Serger. Specialty machines are not necessary.
I totally enjoyed the review. I currently sew on a Bernina and love it. I purchased a new table, plastic, not a good idea because while embroidering too much vibration. Have you done reviews on the type of sewing table to purchase ?
Hello! Glad you enjoyed the review, many more to come! We haven't considered different types of sewing tables to purchase yet! Maybe that can be another video idea for the new year.
My sewing table is a dining table that I bought from Walmart. Better Home And garden. I drilled a hole in the top to drop my cords for machines and lights. It fits a mini fridge perfectly up underneath. Be careful drilling that hole, as to it Is solid oak. Lot of kickback on the drill, but worth it. My power strip sits on top of the fridge. Two tier cabinets fit under this too.
Thanks for the demos. The polyester sewing test was a bit misleading though as you seemed to lengthen the stitch length on two of the machines but not the Janome?
I enjoy your reviews. Have you ever done reviews on best table for sewing machines with embroidery. I purchased a sewing table at Hobby Lobby. I thought I made a good decision, but when embroidering the table vibrates terribly.
Curious if the fabric advisor program recommends same stitch settings for stitch length, width, tension, etc, between each model. Thus sill results of sewing polyester come out different and flat fabric not puckered.
Anna is fabulous, but Christ Alive someone have a serious word with the digital team, who for some unknown reason decided she needed underscoring with plinky-plonky music during _every single second of this twenty-five minute video._ To do this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how brains process new information. Viewers take in far less information about the machines as their brains fight to concentrate on what Anna's saying and separate it from the incessant music. Upshot: you'll sell fewer machines. Anna's style is _already_ engaging, so why use music *at all?* It suggests without it she isn't enough. Here's some free 'cognition consulting': Next time you're watching a TV drama, notice _when and how_ the sound designer employs music: scene transitions, moments of tension & relief, and emotional swell points - or if you're an 80s movie director, then in the compulsory mid-film "we're working on this thang" montage break. Like the graphic design mantra - the most important visual thing in design is white space for our *eyes to rest.* Our brains and ears need the same _aural_ white space - there is literally none here! _[Source: I'm a Clin. Psych. - I know brains 😬]_
If you know brains, can you please tell me why I enjoyed and found the music so soothing? 😂 I didn’t feel like it made me pay any less attention to what she was saying. In fact it made me more intrigued in the video.
I liked your video very much. Thank you for the demos. But the music is unnecessary. Or if you must have it in, turn down the volume. The voice should be in the foreground. The music only in the background. I thank you for advance consideration for the next video.

I'm looking to upgrade my machine and your review of the Brother was very helpful! Thanks for sharing.
Video very informative. I have been looking at getting a Bernina and am considering the 540. I agree the background music is very distracting!
I loved your review! I would like to be able to hear you better over the music. The music made it hard for me. Thank you :)

Bernina wins!
Lovely, this! Wonderful review. I have a Janome 2010, but I enjoy watching these. Educational, innit? Thanks! 😊
Thank you, wonderful review, very helpful!

Merhabalar Bernına 540 ı tek bir videoda daha geniş kapsamlı anlatabilirmisiniz rica etsem.Teşekkür ederim ❤️🌹

Great review.
Thank you
I think for 4K sewing machine it should be quiet. Like an industrial Juki is quieter then this.
Can I use twin needles in the Janome mc6700p ?
Hello Leonnardo, Yes you can :)
inches? what about centimeters?
I have a Viking
What is the difference in prices on those three machines
Hi @dianecrews6130 on my computer a small box comes up during the video on the bottom left for view products which also gives prices.
I enjoyed this video but as someone ells mentioned the music is annoying, I came away with the music in my head and not what Anna had said!

Love your videos but hate the annoying music
