Janome HD 3000 BE Black Edition with Exclusive Bonus Bundle

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

Great machine. Sews through heavy denim. This was a gift for my daughter and I have one like it. Tough and long lasting machine. She really likes it .

I was worried about the backwards issue other people were mentioning but Im happy to report my machine works perfectly. I live that it came with lots of extras, and it was such a good deal! If youre looking for a mechanical machine I definitely recommend this one.

Cheap

Love this machine. Does everything as it should. Transitions from light weight fabrics to heavy weight with no problem. So very, very easy to use. Does not have a lot of design options so if that is also what you are looking for this machine is not for you. For basic stitching and a few design options this is for you. I am in love with this machine and highly recommend it. Great, great value.

Ive been through 2 brother sewing machines in 3 years and Ill be perfectly honest, they rarely functioned for more than an hour with problem after problem after problem!! Having said all that, the third times a charm when I switched to Janome I bought the HD-3000BE and I love it, this works every time I use it!!!! Its sturdy, its functional, its an awesome experience to make all my new and future quilts!! It hasnt jammed even once, the needle stays threaded, no broken needles of any type whether Im doing quilt piecing, quilting with this machine, quilt binding, or 3 to 4 layers of thick flannel it just keeps working the correct way and Im now a very happy quilter with no more hours/days wasted trying to get a bad machine to function!!! This one only costs half as much as my buttons and whistles brother!!!! Finally, I get to work and enjoy my craft again!!!! THANK YOU JANOME!!!!!!!

Hands down a great little machine. Very pleased.

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.

This machine is for sure heavy duty! I am impressed with the consistent stitch. My company Janeyandnell.com makes handmade handbags. I consistently switch from cloth to leather stitching in one project. This machine will not skip a stitch or loose the stitch quality sewing from thin material to 4 layers of soft leather! I keep my thread tension slightly above 4 for consistent tight stitch. I also use universal thread for continued use with all materials. I do not need a thicker thread for leather because of the machine quality. The value for this machine is amazing! Lots of extra feet and gadgets to sew all your products or hobbies. I have a Juki for additional stitching and embroidery. Honestly use this machine more for the quality of a consistent stitch. I also rarely have to change needles. I Have used the same universal needle that came with the machine for multiple projects and thickness of material. I highly recommend this machine for all cloth and leather/purse quality projects. It is a work horse for sure!

I wonderful machine. I had a different Janome but it just wasnt what I wanted. I wanted basic. No fancy stuff that only causes problems. This is the machine for me. I hesitated on buying black, but I do like it. Using black thread is a trick since I am old! LOL
