Janome HD 3000 BE Black Edition with Exclusive Bonus Bundle

I absolutely LOVE this machine! It sews as beautifully as it looks. Its sturdy but light and best of all, uncomplicated. Guess Im old school but I prefer non computerized, simple mechanical machines. The stitch quality is wonderful. Also, a big shout out to the seller who sent my machine out right away and I received it much earlier than was projected. Great surprise! Thank you

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.

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.

First, kudos to the Amazon seller, Faribault Vacuum and Sewing (First Vacuum on Amazon). They shipped the machine immediately, and it arrived quickly, in perfect condition. Set up was simple and the HD-3000BE worked flawlessly right out of the gate. I started off sewing seams with six layers of heavy upholstery fabric, with basting tape sandwiched in between, and the machine hummed along with no hesitation. Bobbin winding is simple and quick. The needle threader saves a ton of time. The built-in storage areas for the accessories and different presser feet means no more losing stuff. This machine is also very quiet, about half as loud as my no-defunct Singer. The HD-3000BE is nice to look at. Glad I got the black version. Its cool. There are some plastic parts to the machine, but there is a lot of metal. It is nice and heavy, which means it does not jump around while stitching. The foot pedal is very easy to control precisely, so I can go through thick materials as slowly as I want. In my opinion, this machine is a good value, is versatile, well made, and easy to use. It checks all the boxes. I recommend potential buyers scroll through the buying options, and choose a seller with the highest rating, even if it costs a couple bucks more.

Within 2 weeks of owning this machine I had to take it to a repair shop. The feed dogs would randomly go in reverse or just not feed altogether. The it completely stopped feeding. $80 at a repair shop and I just got it back. He said something was sticking in the stitch selector that caused the problem. Hopefully it will work now... but if it stops working again this will officially be a waste of money. Low star rating due to the fact that machine was defective.

I am a professional seamstress for over 40 years. I had worn out my previous Janome and wanted a no frills machine. This machine is a sturdy and dependable beast! Love it. I’ve only had a week but it is everything I need. Why spend thousands on machines that have a hundred stitches when you need only a couple...straight, zig zag, stretch zig zag and a great buttonhole. I have a shop, “Little Blessings,” on Etsy and I make Blessing/Baptism dresses. This machine is a rockstar.

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.

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.

I like it.
