JANOME DC5100

[easyquilts]

I don 'to have this machine, but I am a Janome girl. I have had two Jems, and presently use my DC2007 . I am looking at the DC2013... I love the blue!

The DC's are great machines.... I have had mine since 2007, and have never had to take in to my dealer for any kind of repair.

All Janomes are good, solid sewing machines that will work hard for you....

Since I am considering buying a new sewing machine, I did a lot of research.... Of Janomr, Brother, and Singers, Janome has the most consistently favorable reviews......and Janime is the machine that has the fewest repairs....over most all brands.

You won't be sorry that you invested in a Janome...

I have the Janome DC2012 and I love it. In the past I have had a HV, Brother and a Singer. I love the Janome and I am thinking of getting another one soon. Good luck!

I don't understand how a Kenmore I the same as Janome??? and has all the same features and warranty there has to be some difference or maybe not I really am confused now geez.

Isn't the Kenmore made by Janome?. Or is it Brothers?.

I will admit, I'm a Janome addict. After doing research on other machines and test driving at the quilt shop, Janome is it for me. I have a Janome Sewist 525LE, Janome MQ 8900 and waiting to pick up my new MQ6130 on Friday. Next will be a serger.

However, it must be a list of requirements. Example, do it have needle threader, thread cutter, up/down needle button, proper lighting, enough harp or throat space. The 8900 has 11" throats space along with over200 different types of stitches but it cost a lot more however, the 7700 has the same size throat space and it was on sale for $1400.00 the other day. The 6600 has a 9" harp/throat space which is a little larger than most standard sewing machines. Sorry I'm sounding like a Janome rep. The best thing to do is list your requirements and then you can do a process of elimination.

Hi, Sandy, Janome makes the Kenmore sewing machines and have for years, not sure but think they also make Kenmore sergers. Many years ago I had both, the Kenmore sewing machine and serger. They were very good till the cat jumped on the ironing board where I temporarily sat my serger---yes, the cat knocked it to the floor and I didn't even try to fix it---....Sandy, do more research on the Janome DC5100, I was reading another post to someone else about this model and this person had seen this machine and was talking to the lady that owned it---this lady told her she has had to take it in several times to be fixed and the way she described the repairs ---sounded like the trouble I've had....so maybe it was the machines fault...I still love the machine as it fits my needs. Also, if you are able over there to buy it from a local dealer it really would be better so if you have to take it in for any reason you won't have to pack it up and send it off---that can't be good for sewing machine. I still stand behind the Janome's and this one may just be one that it stays fixed or I take it back and change models....Why can't things just be simple!!! At 65 I am so ready for simple---HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
