Janome HD 3000 BE Black Edition with Exclusive Bonus Bundle

I prefer a no-frills mechanical machine for my fabric crafts. It can handle 8 layers of fabric plus batting without complaining

Machine arrived with loose screws, wont sew in reverse, etc. Have had a family illness and death in my family which hindered my unpacking and using machine. So, I missed the return window. Now I must take it to a repair shop or throw it in the trash! I am so frustrated Wanted to use it to sew an Easter dress for my granddaughter and now cant.

Quality is not as expected wished I would have spent more money on a better machine, kind of junk and cheap

The machine is ok but guess i have different idea of heavy-duty.

The Janome HD3000 is supposed to have a heavy duty motor and and all metal casing. This machine has neither: only part of the casing is metal, and the gears grind at stitching two very thin layers of quilt fabric together, even with a walking foot and 130 chrome needle. It keeps losing thread tension. I need a machine that I dont have to baby. Even if I did keep this machine, I doubt it would last 5 years. Really unimpressed. Returning it.

The machine is a piece of crap. Unfortunately by the time I realized this the return window had closed. Stay away from this machine.

This machine doesnt work at all. Save your money, and dont waste your time having to return this piece of garbage.

This machine is great. I am really pleased with it.

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.

This seems a great machine so far. Sews through motorcycle gear. Not computerized (Yay!). This machine is heavy but not fully metal, like I was hoping. There’s a lot of plastic involved. Bonus pack is pretty awesome. (PS - Love the black, but it shows every fingerprint.)
