Janome sewing machines are known all over the world. The Japanese company has been on the market for over 100 years. During this time, a number of models that the company offers has grown. All variants are characterized high quality, reliability, fashion design. It is difficult for a consumer to navigate in a large abundance of high-quality machines offered. The company presents modern and multifunctional Janome sewing machines, how to choose the best one without overpaying?

In order to make the right choice, it is necessary to clearly determine which operations will be performed on the machine. Janom offers big choice a specific focus that may not be needed in the work. Some overlocks and coverlocks perform 20-27 operations. Many models have computer program, which performs all the functions. Such sewing equipment is indispensable in production, in professional workshops, less often it is used at the household level. With amateur use of the machine, most professional operations are not performed. It makes no sense to overpay for something that will not be in demand.

The basic rules for choosing a sewing machine should be:

1. The demand for the proposed functions.
2. Work speed.
3. Shuttle location.
4. Power consumption of the engine.
5. Ease of maintenance.
6. Machine dimensions.
7. Reliability.
8. The quality of the operations performed.
9. Ease of replacing faulty parts (both technical and the ability to purchase the right item in the store).
10. Existence of illumination of a working surface.

Also, the choice should be made based on financial capabilities. The most expensive thing is not always the best.

Janon's affordable sewing machines are not inferior in quality and reliability to expensive options.

All models of the company are characterized by automatic winding of the thread on the bobbin, the presence of various paws for performing the corresponding operations, instructions in Russian.

Regardless of the model, all machines are equipped with convenient needle threaders, covers, a set of tools for small repairs.

When choosing, special attention should be paid to the speed of work. The principle - the faster the better, justifies itself in computer models of sewing machines or experienced professionals. A beginner seamstress may not have enough skill to handle high feed rates. In this case, situations are possible in which the seams on the product will have to be flogged and corrected. When working with delicate fabrics, this leads to damage to the product, which cannot be repaired.

An important point is the possibility of after-sales service, store guarantees.

Types of sewing machines manufactured by Janome

Sewing machines are designed for professional use and for simple technical solutions at home. Budget options are designed for hobbyists who do not need complex operations. The minimum set of functions that may be needed in Everyday life, - such a specificity of household models.

The company's machines have a different principle of operation - electromechanical machines and computer-controlled models. The first option is the most familiar, computer - the latest developments of the company.

Janom machines with an electromechanical principle of operation are divided into classes according to functionality:

1. Sewing machines.
2. Overlocks.
3. Coverlocks.
4. Sewing machines.
5. Embroidery machines.

All machines of the company are characterized by high quality of operations, durability, reliability.

In turn, each type has specific varieties. Overlocks and coverlocks are divided by the number of threads that do the work, the number of operations.

Sewing machines

The most popular at the household level is the basic budget model - Janome grape. She performs simple technical tasks related to tailoring and repairing clothes. Works with all types of fabric. The shuttle is vertical, performs 15 operations, electromechanical motor. Makes blind stitches, reinforced stitches, straight stitches, as well as simple overlock and Finishing work. The fabric feed is uniform, without jerks. The inner frame is metal. The machine is durable, with good stitching quality. Different models of this line differ only in design. For amateur use, this option is optimal.

Overlocks

Designed for processing the edge of the product with a sequential chain seam. Overcasting (the old term) cuts uneven fabric, fixes and fixes the edge. The latest MyLock models have proven themselves well. They work with 2 - 4 threads, convenient fabric supply, perform both flat seams and rolled seams. The maximum number of seams subject to household overlockers is 8. All models are reliable and easy to maintain. Some may have a presser foot pressure regulator, knives. The maximum speed of work is up to 1300 stitches per minute.

The Janome company is known to everyone who is engaged in repair of clothes, sewing. It produces excellent and even better sewing machines, which are highly acclaimed. Now let's pay attention specifically to the manufacturer Janome.

The first model that has collected the most positive feedback from customers. It costs 2,200 hryvnia in Ukraine or 6,000 Russian rubles in Russia.

Characteristics:

1. Possibility to turn off the fabric feed mechanism;
2. Reverse button;
3. Lighting;
4. 13 sewing operations;
5. Stitches: Stretch, Overlock, Blind and Stretch Blind.

In fact, these are standard parameters for a typewriter for such an amount. It's not bad, but it's not good either - it's normal. Much more important are customer reviews. We got acquainted with them - they are mostly positive. Based on them, one can distinguish…

Advantages:

• practical;
• Convenient and easy to operate;
• Reliable;
• Inexpensive.

Disadvantages:

• Suitable only for beginners, beginners who have not previously been engaged in sewing;
• No cover.

So: this is a reliable and really high-quality sewing machine from Janome, but it is not professional. Suitable for simple "template" tasks and small home renovation, no more.

2nd place - Janome DC 4030

Immediately about the main thing - the price of the model is 5500 hryvnia. This is approximately 15,000 rubles in Russia. The cost is an order of magnitude higher, but the characteristics of this model are corresponding.

Options:

1. Electronic control;
2. Presser foot pressure adjustment;
3. Puncture force stabilizer;
4. Smooth adjustment of sewing speed;
5. Button size measurement technology;
6. Reverse button;
7. Lighting;
8. 30 available sewing operations;
9. Automatic looping (total 6 types of loops);
10. Display;
11. Sleeve platform
12. Switching the position of the needle.

This is definitely one of the best Janome sewing machines that is multifunctional and advanced. It is not for beginners, but for more experienced seamstresses, although beginners can also work on it.

Advantages:

• Does not vibrate;
• Quietly works;
• All buttons on the case are located competently and very conveniently;
• All useful lines are present;
• The loops are very high quality;
• Sews both very thin and very thick fabrics;
• A set of paws for any occasion;
• QUALITY OF DEVICE PERFORMANCE.

Disadvantages:

• The compartment for storing accessories is not very convenient;
• The presser foot pressure adjustment lever is also inconveniently located;
• Insufficiently informative guide.

We learned all these advantages and disadvantages from customer reviews. Finding flaws was especially difficult, because almost all the reviews about this machine are positive. Customers are satisfied with this product, the quality and functionality of which do not match the price! The machine SHOULD BE EXPENSIVE.

3rd place - Janome Sewist 525 S / SE 522

Another great machine worth 4000 hryvnia. If you translate into rubles, you get approximately 10,000+ rubles.

Characteristics:

1. Adjusting the presser foot pressure on the fabric;
2. Sewing speed 860 sti/min;
3. Reverse button;
4. Measuring the size of buttons;
5. Lighting;
6. 23 sewing operations;
7. Sleeve platform;
8. Needle threader.

Judging by the reviews, this model is excellent. It is less functional than the first, but also cost a little less. Buyers respond positively: a reliable sewing machine that has been working for 3-4 years without any complaints. It is also lightweight, easy to operate, quiet and compact. Despite all its advantages, this model is for beginners, so it is foolish to expect any unique supernatural abilities.

All the shortcomings of this machine are purely ergonomic: the button is inconveniently located, the accessory compartment is inconvenient, etc. Overall, this is a great and definitely one of the best Janome sewing machines - we recommend it.

4th place - Janome 7524E

Another machine with positive reviews. The average price is 5200 hryvnia or 13500 rubles.

Characteristics:

1. Electronic control;

3. Puncture force stabilizer;
4. Sewing speed adjustment;
5. Reverse button;
6. Measuring the size of buttons;
7. Lighting;
8. 23 sewing operations;
9. Automatic loop execution;
10. Stitches: elastic secret, overcasting, secret, elastic;
11. Sleeve platform;
12. Needle threader.

We didn't see anything new here. The functionality is good for a model for 13,500 rubles, but definitely not better than in machines higher in the rating.

This model sews evenly and confidently enough! Shows up great on different types fabrics, but you need to understand that it is designed for medium and light fabrics, not for “heavy” ones. The manufacturer does not guarantee that the machine will work well with dense or thick fabrics, so keep this in mind. In fact: she takes thick raincoat fabric and jeans, although models of the same class cannot cope with such fabrics. The price of the Janome 7524E is very reasonable, so we can safely recommend the model.

5th place - Janome Sewist 521 / SE 518

Price - 3300 hryvnia or 8500 rubles. Immediately about the main thing!

Characteristics:

1. Electromechanical control;

6. Lighting;
7. Measuring the size of buttons;
8. 19 sewing operations;
9. Semi-automatic loop execution;
10. Lines: elastic secret, secret, elastic, overcasting.

And again, almost standard parameters, but there is nothing to be surprised at. Reviews about the model are positive, otherwise we would not put it in the ranking of the best.

Advantages:

1. The engine does not make noise, the machine is quiet;
2. Switch "fast / slow" is on the pedal, which is convenient;
3. Heavy which is a plus. From this, the machine becomes stable;
4. Easily pierces even dense fabrics;
5. The seams are thin and even;
6. Great model for a beginner.

Disadvantages:

1. The part with the lamp is heated;
2. The compartment for small things is not very convenient;
3. Sometimes it “chews” the fabric (one of the customer reviews).

Construction material

should not be overlooked and housing material. Standard cars are made of plastic, the quality of which depends entirely on the cost of a particular device. When choosing the right option in the store, you need to find out what material they are made of. internal details : it can be plastic if we are talking about a budget car, or metal for more expensive models.

Work speed

Sewing speed is another an important factor, which directly depends on the power of the device. If the machine equipped with a pedal, then the speed will change depending on the pressure force. The speed of the work itself is affected by the type of shuttle, which can be vertical, horizontal or swinging. The latter type is usually equipped with inexpensive new devices, they do not allow you to develop too high speed. The horizontal type of shuttle is usually equipped with middle-class models, it makes work more convenient and gives improved quality seams. With the help of vertical shuttles, you can create perfect seams, but only the most expensive machines are equipped with them.

Equipment and functionality

The package of the standard machine includes several needle options, a special foot and loop making device. Since it is simply impossible to put all the available needle and foot options in a regular kit, the necessary parts will have to be purchased separately in the future.

Complete set of the sewing machine JANOME TOP 14

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that screwdrivers and oil for lubricating individual parts of the device must be present in the kit.

When buying, consider available species lines. In some models, it can be quite large, but usually only a few options are used in the sewing process. If you are purchasing a budget device, it is best to choose a machine with a small number of stitches, because of this, the sewing quality will be much higher.

Extra options

There are additional criteria that must be considered in the selection process.

1. Buttonholes- every newest machine from Janome is equipped with this option, since it is indispensable. Buttonholes are processed using a presser foot in a special mode, which can be semi-automatic or automatic.
2. Embedded light bulbs for lighting, which are equipped with almost all devices of the brand, from the most expensive to budget models.
3. Conditions warranty service, on the basis of which you can contact the service center and repair the device in case of a breakdown. Specialists will also help you set it up in case you have problems during the maintenance process, and explain how some options work.
4. Price, which is one of the main criteria right choice. As a rule, the low price will affect the power and the number of options available, so if you want to purchase an option with an extended set of features, go for it. expensive models. You also need to consider for what purpose the machine is purchased. If it's about full-fledged work, a professional device equipped with everything you need will definitely be the best choice.

Rating of popular models

It is only natural that this year's newest Janome sewing machine is superior in many respects to previous years' models, so many buyers with extensive experience and experience were able to make their own rating of devices. It includes the most popular brand devices that fully meet the basic requirements and do an excellent job with their functions.

Of the main features of the device, it is worth noting the electromechanical type of operation, 13 modes, the ability to turn off the fabric feed mechanism, the presence of lighting and a reverse button, as well as a set of all the necessary lines.

When you enter a fabric store, your eyes widen from the abundance of beauty. Here and delicate guipure, and exquisite crepe de chine, and frivolous chintz, and strict drape. It seems that I would buy everything and sew for myself such clothes that you cannot buy in any fashion boutique. And, inspired by such thoughts, you make a promise to yourself to buy a good sewing machine.

And then the first one gets up and main question: how to choose a sewing machine? After all, you need to buy one so that it becomes a real assistant, so that it can realize any creative fantasies. There are rows of different machines on the shelves in stores, how to choose the right sewing machine among such a variety?

To begin with, let's decide what we first of all want from a typewriter. What tasks does it face and how much do you own the art of cutting and sewing.

Types of sewing machines

There are three types of sewing machines: mechanical, electromechanical and machines with computer controlled. Let's consider all these types in more detail.

Mechanical sewing machines

These you now find only in second-hand shops or antique shops. But, nevertheless, even on "Singers" with a manual or foot drive manufactured in the 19th and 20th centuries, it is still quite possible to sew. And if you inherited such a machine from your grandmother, try sewing on it first. So you will get acquainted with the basic principle of the sewing machine.

A mechanical sewing machine can only do a straight stitch, so don't expect more from it.

Electromechanical sewing machines

These cars are arranged in the same way as mechanical ones, but they already have an electric drive, which is set in motion with one touch of the pedal. They can overcast the edge, sew on buttons, embroider and make a variety of seams. The choice of a seam on such a machine is determined by a special wheel on the control panel.

The most popular manufacturers of electromechanical machines include Bernina, Brother, Minerva, Juki, Janome, Family, Pfaf, Singer and some others.

Perhaps, choosing an electromechanical sewing machine is the most suitable option for both a beginner and a more experienced craftswoman.

Sewing machines with program control

If you want something more from the machine, if you need not only an assistant, but also an adviser and you are not limited in funds, then you should look towards electronic sewing machines.

Each of them is a small computer with a microprocessor, equipped with a convenient display. The number of functions and operations of such machines is impressive, for example, the choice of seams for some models can exceed a hundred! On machines with program management you can not only sew, but also embroider (satin stitch and cross stitch). Moreover, if you write a sequence of elements into the memory of such a machine, they will embroider such complex patterns that it is almost impossible to embroider by hand.

An electronic machine will always give you advice on which seam to choose for a particular fabric, it will determine the puncture force depending on the density of the material, and will warn you about a mistake.

Electronic typewriters include models such as, for example, Minerva, Bernina Bernette-2092C, Brother NX-200, etc.

Computerized sewing machines are quite expensive and difficult to repair, so you will have to strictly follow the instructions for use. But, if you still decide on such a purchase, then act! After all, on such a machine you can create real masterpieces.

What are the criteria for choosing a sewing machine?

Housing and parts material

When buying a sewing machine, you need to focus on the materials from which the machine parts are made. In economy class cars, almost all internal parts are made of plastic, which in itself is quite fragile and may not withstand excessive loads. Therefore, be sure to check with sales consultants what material the main parts are made of, it is better if they are metal.

Puncture force

Be sure to look at the power of the machine, because it is she who determines the strength of the puncture. Not all sewing machines are designed to sew heavy fabrics such as denim. Economy class machines are designed mainly for sewing products from light and medium-thick fabrics, so see if the machine has restrictions on the density of the fabric. Some models have automatic regulation of this parameter.

Sewing speed

Everything is like in a car: the harder you press on the pedal, the faster the machine sews. However, if you are just learning, do not chase speed, because, as they say, you go quieter - you will continue. Speed ​​is for experienced craftswomen.

Presser foot pressure on fabric

This parameter is adjusted both manually and automatically. If you are going to work with thick materials, make sure that the presser foot can be raised high enough.

Shuttle type

Few beginner seamstresses know that modern sewing machines have two types of shuttle: vertical (it is on all mechanical and inexpensive electromechanical models) and horizontal (it is installed on more expensive, professional models).

Vertical shuttle

Horizontal shuttle

Vertical hook machines are much noisier than horizontal hook machines. In addition, the bobbin in such machines is inserted into a metal hook, which is then inserted into the machine. In this regard, the seamstress does not have the opportunity to see the number of threads on the bobbin. In a machine with a horizontal hook, the hook is located directly in the machine itself, and the bobbin lies in front of you behind a transparent plastic cap, which allows you to control the amount of thread wound on it.

If you have the funds, then it is better to buy a machine with a horizontal shuttle.

Types of stitches

Many models of electromechanical sewing machines include a large number of the most different seams(e.g. Blind Stitch, Imitation Overlock, Stretch Stitches, Decorative Stitches, etc.). Practice shows that even professional seamstresses rarely use all types of stitches, so for beginners, additional stitches such as overcast, zigzag and buttonhole are enough for beginners.

Loop "automatic" or "semi-automatic"

Sewing machines differ in the way they sew buttonholes. In cheap versions of sewing machines, the loops are sewn in a semi-automatic mode. This is done in 4 steps and does not require turning the fabric: after completing each side of the buttonhole, you need to switch the program to the next side, etc.

In professional sewing machines, the loops are sewn automatically. To sew a buttonhole, you need to attach the appropriate buttonhole foot, which is included in the standard equipment to the machine, and use it to measure the button itself. The machine will do the rest!

Equipment

Pay attention to what comes with the machine. As a rule, interchangeable needles and feet are included, but it is impossible to put all possible feet in one set - there are too many of them. Therefore, as needed, you can buy them in the appropriate stores.

Sewing machine models by manufacturer

There are countless models of sewing machines, and each master will advise you something different. But there are several well-deserved brands that I would like to dwell on in a little more detail.

should not be overlooked and housing material. Standard cars are made of plastic, the quality of which depends entirely on the cost of a particular device. When choosing the right option in the store, you need to find out what material they are made of. internal details: it can be plastic if we are talking about a budget car, or metal for more expensive models.

Work speed

Sewing speed is another important factor that directly depends on the power of the device. If the machine equipped with a pedal, then the speed will change depending on the pressure force. The speed of the work itself is affected by the type of shuttle, which can be vertical, horizontal or swinging. The latter type is usually equipped with inexpensive new devices, they do not allow you to develop too high speed. The horizontal type of shuttle is usually equipped with middle-class models, it makes work more convenient and gives improved quality seams. With the help of vertical shuttles, you can create perfect seams, but only the most expensive machines are equipped with them.

Equipment and functionality

The package of the standard machine includes several needle options, a special foot and loop making device. Since it is simply impossible to put all the available needle and foot options in a regular kit, the necessary parts will have to be purchased separately in the future.
