Simply Amazing
Friday, February 24, 2023

Had an sewing/embroidery machine from another manufacturer. Went to a Janome dealer demo and I fell totally in love. Have had this machine for over 6 months now and it is Fantastic! Truly can't say enough good things. The company and developers put so many functions and so much thought into this machine. I find it very user friendly and the support is fantastic. There is a Janome online group to demonstrate this great machine so if you live in the middle of no where or don't get out a lot you can still get tons of assistance. There is simply no hoop larger and embroidery is perfect. But if you do not embroider I would still buy this grand machine just for the sewing features. It is a work horse and can sew through all kinds of materials. Love the HP system. Comes with almost any foot you could ever imagine. Thank you Janome this is one fantastic machine. I look forward to continuing to learn many new projects and having years of fun with this machine. Oh, and it even has a stitch regulator which I will be using on my ruler work. This is simply the best!

Continental M27
Friday, March 3, 2023

I love my Continental M17. It’s so easy to use, setup was a breeze and the apps make it so much fun. The new capabilities are genius, and extraordinary. The largest hoop beats any other out there on the market. I traded my newly upgraded Big B brand machine, you know the one with the 3rd version out that has the scanner/camera built in, and I am not looking back. I wish I would have done this sooner. The acufeed, and the HP foot/plate are serving you none, it’s amazing. The new embroidery unit makes it so easy to mount and dismount the hoops. Overall, this machine rocks and leaves its competitors wondering what Janome will do or come up with next.
