Best Mechanical Sewing Machines for Sew

i also like to make reversible fleece jackets and this machine is so fast and durable that i finished a jacket in less than two hours, zipper included.

i have finally found the machine with the "old time" standards of durability!

i sew for the public and have needed a heavy duty professional machine.

i ordered the singer heavy duty on wednesday and received it friday.

very good beginner machine and it's durable.

it is clearly not designed for heavy duty work, but i am only interested is doing small jobs so it's perfect for me.

it is sturdy and i love it!

it's obvious it's for first-time users, but it's still durable and works great.

i am new to sewing and wanted to start out with a machine that was not to complex.

--lots of utility and decorative stitches for the price

the only thing is if you do a lot of heavy duty sewing, then this machine may have trouble going through thicker fabrics.

it pulls material well once the tension is set appropriately, including my husband's heavy duty double reinforced jeans.

i previously had a brother machine that finally bit the dust after 26 years so i am hoping for comparable longevity.

this is so cheaply made and not at all user-friendly.

like the other users said, this machine is not cheaply made at all, it is very sturdy and pretty heavy for such a little thing.

i tried it out first and absolutely love it as a durable, easy to use, quiet, smooth-running machine.

(my old brothers made a racket.) it is well made by janome, a huge name in sewing machines, and is a grab at this price!

it's portable, being a 1/2 size; it's surprisingly sturdy and well-made and quiet, typical janome (also sold without the hello kitty design as the janome sew mini); the instructions are very clear;
