Janome 10000 Sewing Machine

Pros: The Janome is a well-built sewing machine. Customizer for converting foreign file types works well.
Cons: Digitizer 10k is plagued with problems making it cumbersome and unreliable to use.

I had almost a decade of digitizing and machine embroidery before buying this machine a year ago. In my experience the Janome machine itself is very dependable and well built. The only adaptation one must make is if you have never used an embroidery ...

Pros: Very quiet and very well made. Easy to use for a beginner.
Cons: Have a dealer that will work with you. I have a great one!

I love everything about my machine. It is so quiet and so very well made that I have found nothing to compare it to. In my opinion it is one of those best kept secrets. I did get mine with the Digitizer 10000 software as part of the package at the ...

Pros: Easy machine to use, sews very well and does great embroidery and monograming.
Cons: I wish that the space right of the needle was taller and wider for quilting.

I bought my Janome, Memory Craft 10000 about 3 and 1/2 months ago. I have enjoyed this machine more than any other that I have owned. I have tried Brother, Dressmaker, Kenmore and Singer. The Janome feels very solid when you sew a seam. The colorized touch pad makes sewing very pain free. If there is something that you forget, like gathering on the machine. There is a button for that and all you have to do is hold the threads and it does the rest. (You do have to place the appropriate feet on the machine.) With the advent of computerized sewing machines they take all of the guess work out of sewing. I also use the monograming features and the machine embroidery. This so versitile and so easy to use. Then hook the machine to a computer and have Digitizer 10000 or Customizer 10000 and there is no limit to what you can do. It also is upgradable to be like the new 10001 other than the colors shown on the screen.
