HD1000 Black Edition Sewing Machine with 14 Stitches, Buttonhole, Automatic Needle Threader and Drop Feed

I’ve done my research on a lot of sewing machines and it was my first option. When I received it, it had a USA plug. Bought about 2 presser foot. Still didn’t work. Called janome they said its an American sewing machine and they couldn’t help me. Then I called Amazon and there was a huge language barrier between me and THE PERSON THAT WAS MEANT TO HELP ME defeating the whole point of customer service. My time has been fully wasted and don’t waste yours by buying this sewing machine.

First - I love the look of this machine! It isn't clunky looking like most machines nowadays. It has a sleeker look. IT is actually a "mostly" black metal outer body. FINALLY! So sick of the plastic that scratches if you even look at it wrong! IT is QUIET! I tried a couple of machines before I found this one and they are so loud, and make a sort of galloping sound that I could do without. They were hard to thread, or too loud, or sewed too slowly, or the stitches didn't look pretty, or were too complicated to want to mess with, or too persnickity, etc, etc, etc. I was about to give up in my sewing altogether ------- then I found this!!!! OMG - I keep going into the study just to look at it and make sure it isn't just a dream. Yep, it's still there, and it's real. The price is so reasonable and it comes with lots of extras, including some really cute decals that I used to decorate mine with. Such a fun and thoughtful idea! Only one thing - I wish the light were less blueish tones, and more incandescent like the Featherweight, but I can live with it. I don't write many reviews, but I am so excited about finding this machine, and I thought maybe some other people might be interested to know what they are in for with this machine. BTW, I am not a great seamstress by any means, I mostly do basic sewing, and lots of craft sewing. I don't need 300 stitch patterns as I mostly do straight stitching. All I know is my stitches look great - nice and smooth, and realiable. Just so happy! Don't ask me if I want to marry it, because if I weren't so happily married I might consider it!

Una muy buena compra a mi esposa le encantó y la USA bastante.

I ordered this machine listed as "Used - as good as new" and it indeed seemed like that when I opened the package but I was surprised to discover it had a US plug🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks to an adapter I could plug it in, which resulted in blowing the apartment fuse and the machine running at about 60km/h speed with even the slightest push of the pedal. Unusable. I do not understand why a machine rated for US grid voltage was sold to me in the EU. Thank you, Amazon, for facilitating a return.

I was able to get a refund but the machine has a US plug. Used an adaptor but the machine started smoking as soon as it was used.

This is a good Machine, I have so far used it on light fabrics, not as fast as I thought it would be but it us not too slow either. It feels strong, easy to figure out for settings, u like the needle threading feature. I love ❤️ it thus far.
