We had trouble with the tension from the time we received it. Finally had to take it in to Missouri Sewing Machine to get it right, at own cost. Now it works great.

Sorry I missunderstood the question :) This machine is great if you start now but you need a lot of time to explore all of it's capabilities

Yes, great machine for the bucks. Pick up dirt and leaves floors with a polish look. I don't have carpets; only have hard tile floors. Must keep filter clean.

Yes.It is a solid machine. Buy with confidence. Had a bad switch - emailed customer service and had a replacement overnite. No hassle and didn't even ask to return defective switch.

It was pretty good for the first three years, then it started having some problems. They did cover the replacement parts and costs but you will need to contact them. It is a good machine and is very heavy. Make sure you put it where you will not need to move it. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is a good machine especially for a total beginner. Why? Because 1. It's not one of those toys going for $25.00 that breaks as soon as you plug it in, causes frustration and you end up quitting; and 2. Janome is one of the top 3 BEST sewing machine makers in the world. They stand behind their products and they do not disappoint. Very few Janomes end up in the repair shop. You want to start out with something simple so you can avoid confusion and learn the basics like I did. This machine is simple. If you have a good teacher (yeah, Youtube can be very helpful), follow the instruction manual, take your time and start with small simple projects you will do fine on this machine. This is why so many schools buy this very model for their sewing students in home ec class. This machine is white just like in the photo. It comes with a 5 pack of spare universal needles size 12 and maybe 6 spare bobbins. You should buy needles since you should change needles every project or every 4 hours of sewing time which ever comes first. Janome Brand, Organ or Schmetz flat shank are good. If you need more bobbins I would find a certified Janome dealer to buy from. Not all bobbins fit all machines. Do not use anything SINGER with this machine. And finally, make sure you buy from an authorized Janome dealer or the warranty will be void. Contact Janome for a list of dealers in your area. They have a website and FB page.

No. This machine is good for a home office but probably will not be fast enough for your needs.

No. You would probably be happier with a super automatic machine. This machine is a challenge to learn and use, and my skills are advanced. Look at DeLonghi. They are excellent and, with cleaning and care will last for years.

It should not be a problem. My suggestion for you is to get the manual and go through it step by step. It is a great machine and it should work fine.

Only if your already experienced in this field. Other wise you may be a little lost. It's a pretty simple little machine.

I think so. I've only used one machine before this one and it was a really easy transition. This machine has a lot of options and settings, but they're easy to figure out. It just takes a read through of the manual and you should be good.

I would think so but not sure. It is a fantastic machine, I have used them for yrs and bought my whole family each one. Good luck

Yes I would recommend it. Does a great job, easy to clean and NO mess. If you get a mess you're not doing it right.

I don't have the gold, but I've researched it and they both seem like top-flight machines. My Pro is fantastic and I have a blast with it. It boils down to what you're looking for and how detailed a machine you want. The Pro is very detail oriented. The Gold, from what I've seen of people using it, is a very focused, get in and go machine. Not the answer you were hoping for, I'm sure, but it's the best I've got. This is a great hobby and however you may start you will find the right machine for your needs over time.

It is a good machine and should last long depending on use. Overall, worth the price.

Most definately. This is the best machine for doing that all the way around. No computer needed to work. Very simple to use.
