Janome HD 3000 BE Black Edition with Exclusive Bonus Bundle

Oh I love this machine. It’s just perfect for me. I have others but this one is my favorite. It’s so easy to use. And very reasonably priced. There are so many to choose from and purchasing a machine can be mind boggling. This one does all I need. I love the black.

one of the plastic item was missing. i found out when i was assembling these together. i bought this to mainly stitch leather, i hope the review is as promising as it seems.

I like it.

Picked up this machine to get started sewing cordura and other heavy fabrics. Once I got the machine dialed in, goes through multiple layers of 500D like a hot knife through butter. Stitches are even, no binding or bogging down.

I do a lot of sewing for my small business and when my trusty Necchi Omega needed service, I needed a backup machine. This Janome HD 3000 in black, had the same exact features as my Necchi. The controls were in even in same place so I knew there would be no time wasted getting this machine up in running. It sews beautifully, it’s sturdy, it can handle thick fabrics, and I love it. What’s even better is it uses a standard foot pedal unlike my Necchi which uses a special order foot pedal. This is now my main machine.

Disclaimer: This was purchased as a Thanksgiving gift to my wife, a veteran quilter - I wrote the review based on her observations and ratings. The Janome machine is made in Canada. It is a heavy duty unit, suitable for daily use. Yet, being mechanical (no internal computer) it is less likely to require frequent maintenance. A carrying case and special bundle of accessories were included in the price ~ a good value, compared to other researched machines. Since operation was totally different than her old sewing machine, my wife really appreciated the complete and well written instruction manual, including step by step procedures, with clear diagrams and drawings (exception: threader unit - last item in review). The machine runs quietly, fabric feeds very steadily, with almost no vibration. The unit came with many extras, including a box of quilting accessories and a sturdy integral carrying case. The bobbin case is clear, making it easy to judge thread use. Reverse button is handy, effective, and easy to use. Pressure foot attachment is a metal bar, making it easier to change and much more secure than plastics on other machines. This Janome unit offers eighteen different stitches. Selection is easy. Results are uniform and reliable. Accessory storage box is on the front of the machine, and slides off easily ~ i.e. when sewing pantlegs, etc. My wifes only negative comment was The needle threader sure seems nifty, but Im darned if I can figure how to use it. (were working on this one). ~ Dave Buckley ~ as instructed by Beth Buckley who was off quilting busily.

Price was great in the sewing machine did not let me down

This machine can sew through bulky layers easily.

The machine arrived stuck in reverse. I thought it was user error, since Im not familiar with this brand. I realized it wasnt my mistake but the machine being broken when I finally took it to a sewing class. The machine is $400, and the repair will cost $300. Its not worth the money or the hassle.

Im very happy with this purchase. Its a very sturdy machine and I feel confident it will last a long time. My old, lower-quality machine was throwing fits when I sewed cloth masks (sometimes 10 layers on the edges). This beauty powers through with no fuss. It does take a minute to get used to manually rolling the needle up if youre used to a digital machine. My only complaint is that its a little hard to control the speed. She really wants to zoom through straight lines, but I have a little trouble getting her to slow down for careful curves.
