Janome Sew Mini Sewing Machine

I love this machine for my little girls. It is the perfect speed for them. I did lend it out to an older girl and she got frustrated with the speed and messed up the timing. I took it to a local sew and vac and they couldn't order the right parts. That's my only complaint.

I use my Mimi to take to my sewing classes-very light at less than 5 lbs. I like everything about it except the motor is very loud/noisy, but it does the job well. Simple for a beginner..I like it.

I own 5 of these that I use for quilting classes and craft parties. They are handy, lightweight and easy to use. (The plug weighs more than the machine itself.) They only go one speed and have few buttons or choices which is a plus when you are using them with non-sewers. There is little stress involved as it's easy to thread the top and wind the bobbin. You can see the bobbin so you know how much thread you have left. My only minus is that it is so lightweight it tends to slide on the table. A gripper mat would probably solve that. For this price you can't go wrong!!

I purchased this machine for myself with the intention of trying it and then giving it to my niece. However, I enjoyed using this little machine and kept it. It's easy to set up and very easy to use. Only one size needle required. Sews even stitches and real fun to use!
