Janome 219S Sewing Machine - Just Released

Product Information

I would like thank you and your team for your recommendations of the Juki MO 654de overlocker which I picked up today. The Janome 219s has a 4 step buttonhole, darning plate for free hand embroidery sewing, adjustable stitch length and zig zag width and the free arm is suitable for trouser legs, shirt sleeves etc.

This great little beginner machine makes surprisingly light work of a variety of fabric weights and can offer you a versatile manual machine with some next-step functions to play around with from buttonholes to zips, smocking or quilting.Rita’s lessons are informal, you can choose what project to to work on and she will always give you good advice. It has enough stitch options to offer you a range of initial uses, from inserting button holes to sewing blind hems, machine appliqué and quilting, but with a very simple-to-use design and a pared down range of functions that won't overwhelm. With 14 stitch options including a 4-step-button holer, it will offer you a great range of basic dressmaking functions to build your skills.

The biggest drawback for us for this model is that you can't lower the feed dogs, which means you can't use it for freehand quilting or embroidery, but there's plenty of other snazzy things you can do with it to keep you busy. The Janome 219s is a lightweight free arm machine with 14 stitch selections and front loading bobbin which provides the necessities for basic sewing. In terms of sturdiness of the main machine, we tested sewing at full speed and did vibrate a bit, so there maybe quieter machines out there but this doesn't especially put us off. This machine offers a good range of stitches, including stretch and overcast stitch as well as having the ability to use a twin needle.If you're new to sewing, or looking for a trusted machine that will do regular alterations, dressmaking and home sewing then yes.

He’d look at how it was made – the top shaft, the bottom shaft, the bushes, the raceway and the motor. This is a fantastic entry level robust machine with a good selection of popular stitches and features.

To change the presser foot, simply lift the foot lifter, press the release button and the foot will detach. Janome 219-S is a lightweight machine making it easier to transport, plus with a front-loading bobbin case. The detachable storage box converts the flat bed into a useful free arm and allows easy access to tricky areas like sleeves and trouser legs, extra height foot lifter doubles the height of the foot and allows for extra bulky fabrics and the independent stitch length adjustment increases the versatility.

They mention that it's suitable for light sewing jobs, it performs much the same functions, and is a brilliant machine. She was delighted, which was a relief as she had not relished the thought of learning how to use a new machine. We put it to the test on a variety of everyday sewing jobs and fabrics, from alterations to basic dressmaking and quilt making, and we liked what we found. After years of cursing my second hand 1960s sewing machine for lack of instructions, it's weight and faulty stitching, I finally decided to go for it and purchase a new one for my latest project.
