Janome HD9 Review

"What sewing machine do you use?"
I use the Janome HD9 and I love it. Janome very kindly sponsor me, and provided me with a Janome HD9 last year. In this clip from my recent Ask Me Anything livestream, I talk about what I love about my Janome HD9, some of its features, and some of the accessories you may want to consider buying for your machine. If you have a Janome HD9, please consider joining our HD9 users group on Facebook (link below).
My Ask Me Anything session originally streamed live in my Facebook group on 4th May 2020, and the full video is still available to watch in my group. Please note that Mrs H went live in selfie mode, so the video is mirrored.

Can't you solve your "second lift" problem with the knee lever (lift)? Then you have your hands free,...

Have had a 6600 for a LONG time and just love it. Thank heavens I don’t have the problem with my thread cutter like you did. Use it regularly

[@Ladybrite1]

? Is that a left handed machine? I bought my HD9BE a few months ago and I love it. I like to sew bags and wanted dive into using leather and vinyls. So far, So good.

Are you aware your entire video is mirror image reversing everything? When you show needles sizes, etc... everything is backwards. Otherwise nice review.

Hi Mrs H. Can you buy a walking foot for this machine?

[@jos.4276]

I'd have considered a Janome, but they don't make a walking foot machine.

Whoops, just watched till the end and I’ve answered my own question 😂

[@heatherhowlett9163]

Thank you for your info on the HD9, contemplating getting one for bag making. Love the technical terms "Whatsit" and "Doodie" made me laugh out loud!

[@kassienorton]

I keep looking at this machine but why is the foot so low?? That concerns me

[@thebognorbutterfly]

I'm looking at the Janome 6700 and HD9 - I'm stuck between them. I mainly used the machine for hat making... interesting thoughts as I was going for the 6700 due to the stitch variety, but I'm now swinging the other way. Did your 6700 sew over layers of fabric?

[@maryrichardson5841]

Thanks for the great review. Have been wondering about it. Thrilled over the years with Janome.

[@janebrettell1737]

Thanks for this and particularly your honesty I think I’m buying one...🥰

Hi Mrs H, what threads do you recommend for the HD9 - especially heavier thread for bag making?
