Description
Starting with sewing? What you need is a reliable sew machine that'll help you navigate the basics, make learning easy and fun, and is even portable enough to bring from room to room - or from sewing class, to home, to closets for storage when not in use. The Janome 2212 provides all this, without the complicated fuss of digital bells and whistles, making it quite easily the best sewing machine for beginners. This beginner sewing machine kit runs on a reliable electric motor and includes a classic foot pedal. Place it on a tabletop - press to sew, release to stop. It's just that easy. Beginners will love how quickly they learn rhythm, control, and stitch accuracy. Nothing computerized here, so all you need to focus on is your technique - you can save the complex stuff when you've gotten your groove. At only 14 lbs., the Janome 2212 is an ideal first sewing machine. You can carry the beginner friendly sewing machine to lessons, move around the house, or store in between projects. Since it's small, the stitch machine for clothes is compact enough for apartments, sewing corners, and hobby spaces. The beginning sewing machine can handle a bunch of fabrics, from cotton, canvas, knits, light home decor, and even jeans hems or repairs (with the right denim needle!). The extra-high presser foot lift will help you manuever around thicker seams - though keep in mind, this little sewing machine isn't suitable for heavy-duty or industrial- level materials. The high quality of the Janome 2212 is one reason why it's constantly one of the top rated sewing machines for beginners. It's an amazingly versatile white sewing machine; remove the accessory tray for a narrow free arm for mending cuffs, hemming, sleeves, and your child's clothing. Switch to drop-feed mode for quilting, darning, and free-motion stitching. The lightweight sewing machine expands your creativity past simple repairs! Explore more with the Janome 2212!

Style: Janome 2212 Sewing Machine
I looked for a machine to do simple tasks as I use to do as I grew up with my grandma's 1930th shuttle knock-off copy of Jones Family CS made by nascent Red Russia industry (I would dream to have this machine back!). I prefer to fix pants length and jacket sleeves myself as it's easier for me to do it to my liking then to explain it to others. Also kids' stuff needs occasional small fixing before it's ready to be replaced. So, I looked for something simple and inexpensive, but functional and dependable. I saw good reviews on Janome 2212 (it's relatively small brand - that also original manufacturer for some other brands, including top-of-the-line names like Bernina) that not cared by major US brick-and-mortar stores, at least not in my city. Amazon had a good price on it and I placed an order. Here the 5 star review starts. First - service: As it arrived (a day before estimated delivery date - no complains :)) I found that - already good - price dropped by anther $29.80. So, I contacted Amazon customer service (on-line) and asked to call me back. I got call a few seconds after I pressed "submit" button, and within 5 minutes (and without any hard pressure on my side) I was issued a refund on this amount - looks like Amazon has policy to refund difference if price dropped within 7 days upon product delivery! So, I opened machine and used it for a day and noticed some problems that made me concerned that it may be factory refurbished or damaged unit (it had surface marks and scratches and twice locked the needle). I contacted Amazon again and asked what should I do as I want to keep the machine. They offered a replacement. They organized UPS pick-up from my porch for the next morning and sent replacement by FedEx the same day, so I received it just a day later! The service is well above my expectations! As for Janome 2212 itself - it's a solid no thrill mechanical machine that makes routine sewing tasks easy (I have no expertise to talk about complex tasks). The speed is varied by floor pedal pressure the same way gas pedal in a car control acceleration and easy to get use to by any casual car driver, as majority of Americans are (but it has no "break" pedal, so if you running "high speed" sewing it will make a few stitches after you'll release the pedal). It has reverse switch, but it can't be fixed - you need to hold it all the time when doing reverse (it's my only functional complain). It has enough variations in types and length of stitches to cover all non-decorative (and, presumably, some decorative) tasks, but so far I used just default. I feel it can compete with my old Grandma's machine in durability (I sewed through multi-fold denim edges with little if any hesitation!) and even offer some advantages as free-arm and electric power (early 21st century vs. early 20th :)). It's a basic, but not the simplest machine from Janome. But going even more basic will not give enough monetary advantage to be worth of - to save anther $20 or $30 (it's when not on the sale price) you need to sacrifice variable stitch length (important future!) and a few stitch types. Going up - to get "heavy-duty" or top-line electronic machine - it's almost to double price (or go much above), for futures that one may or may not needs (I don't), on potential account of reliability (it's a general rule: giving the same part quality, more complexity comes on account of reliability, and has nothing to do with Janome quality control specifically). So, I'm very comfortable with build and price/value balance on Janome 2212 model.

Style: Janome 2212 Sewing Machine
This was a wonderful fit for me as a person looking to try quilting as a new hobby without spending an arm and a leg, and also wanting to avoid the random issues that can come up with electronic machines. Pros: -Setup for (in my opinion) everything you could possibly want to do with the exception of a lot of random "fancy" stitches like swirls and such, which I don't like to use anyway, or embroidery which drives up the price of a machine by a lot lot. - Mechanical not electronic, which makes it less prone to issues, and makes troubleshooting much more straightforward. - Literally the least expensive machine that could be used for quilting that also had a great reputation for being solid and lasting. - Worked well for free motion quilting. Since this comes with standard accessories, needed to get quilting accessories separately. (Note: even with this added expense, it was still much less expensive than alternatives) - Much faster and hardier than the Singer Confidence Quilter that I had used previously (see story in background below), there is even a video online of this machine sewing multiple layers of denim. Things to keep in mind: #1 When purchasing accessories, this little engine that can has a shorter needle and different setup than a lot of its siblings (like the Jem) so be sure to check that accessories are for a 5mm front load bobbin machine - thank you love2sew66 for mentioning this in your review! Lessons learned while free motion quilting with this machine: #1 Buy the Janome Front Load 5 Piece Quilt Kit for $50 b/c it will fit this machine, it has both the free motion quilting foot with a clear bottom and a walking foot. Mine was from Sew Vac Direct. It was really hard to figure out if this would fit while online shopping... fortunately it does. #2 The needles for this machine are shorter than most other Janome machines, so be sure to check that you are getting the right type. Janome Red Tip Needles (Size 14) worked well for me as an all purpose type for heavier materials/ multiple layers. #3 Remember to put the presser foot down when free motion quilting. This sounds silly, I know, but it isn't as obvious as when you are sewing normally, since you don't really see it drop down. If you don't then the tension discs won't engage and you will either get a nest of threads on the bottom of your quilt OR it will look like your top thread tension is too loose and the bottom thread will just look like a flat line with eyelashes. #4 If your thread starts getting caught in the front-load bobbin area, i.e. does half a loop rather than full loop around the hook area, take out the bobbin and replace it with a full one. This usually happened when the bobbin started getting low and is the only reason for my 4 rather than 5 star rating. --> UPDATE: Changed my rating up to 5/5 because this issue seemed to be mostly due to using a poly-blend thread. Made my second quilt using a cotton machine thread and only had a jam like this once in the 80+ hours spent piecing the quilt top/bottom and free-motion quilting the quilt sandwich. #4A: USE COTTON THREAD in this sewing machine. This one worked for me personally: http://www.amazon.com/Machine-Quilting-Thread-White-Each/dp/B000WMGJOM/ref=cm_rdp_product #5 Really hold the thread strings down when you start a new line since it pulls hard at the beginning (probably adjusting the tension) and will unthread itself otherwise. I'll often do the first couple stitches using the wheel to get around the hard pull at the start so everything goes more smoothly. #6 When you move the switch over to raise the the feed dogs after they have been dropped, they will not actually go up again until you turn the wheel/ press the petal to start sewing again. So don't get worried about them not popping up immediately after moving the switch. Background info: I'm more of a beginner/intermediate sewer, my recent experience was borrowing a friend's machine to give quilting a try. Had used a Singer Confidence Quilter machine for a couple weeks before it randomly stopped working during free-motion quilting and gave a beep sequence that the Singer representative indicated is an electrical problem. I've been using the Janome 2212 for about two weeks now for both regular sewing and free motion quilting. Just finished a crib sized quilt, well, finished save the edges ;) which is the last step. Hope this review helps some of the other beginners! --> Update 8/8/12: Have now used this machine for the last couple months and have logged 100+ hours in use. Used the walking foot on quilt edging, the darning foot for free-motion quilting, and regular foot for piecing

Needed an affordable upgrade from my last sewing machine, and this was definitely a MAJOR improvement! I absolutely love it so far! I've done my research beforehand and found that this one was great for beginners or those getting back into sewing. Before anything though, make sure to check the official Janome website to see if there are any suppliers or repair shops in your area—just in case! (Not to mention, any specific parts you're looking for. Sometimes Amazon recommends parts, but they're not the correct model for your machine; always double-check! Other than that, the machine is great. It's somewhat big, and quite heavy, the parts don't feel cheap, and sewing feels incredibly smooth—so far I've had no bunching, trapped fabric or thread, or any other problems I've had with my last machine. It comes with a very handy manual book that's easy to read. I do think it's one of the best manuals I've read for a product, as it goes in depth, giving tips on certain sewing patterns, what needles to use, machine care, and a ton more. You can also find multiple video tutorials online if reading is troublesome for you! As a warning, this machine does run fast. I suggest to anyone as they're about to sew to pull/hold some of the thread behind the machine before pressing the pedal, as when I first started sewing, my upper (spool) thread would come undone from the needle. It's not too annoying, but sometimes you can forget in the moment and have to rethread. If your pedal is TOO fast and acts erratically/finicky to soft presses, that can be a mechanical error, so make sure to check that out if you experience that issue! Janome offers warranties for their products through their website, so once ordered, make sure to register your machine there! I also suggest to get 100% cotton thread, or thread thats much stronger and can handle faster speeds. I've bought some on here in multiple colours- and they works great! Overall, it has a lot of great perks and runs great! I think if you need something sturdy, affordable, and long-lasting, this is the right one to choose. If you're doing long projects, make sure to buy the correct walking feet, needles, and oils to keep everything running smoothly. And if you need to put this machine away for a while to keep dust out, the machine comes with its own protective cover—so make sure to use that! Just make sure when you're using it, you have a sturdy table to work on, and take it easy starting out with the speed. Happy Sewing!

I am an adult with very little previous sewing experience, so a fair amount of research led me to purchase this machine, and I am pleased with my purchase. First I narrowed down my search to the Janome brand, since several review websites indicated that Janome has high quality parts (usually metal, not plastic). Other brands didn't seem to have the same reputation for machines manufactured in the past several years. So, I chose to narrow my search to Janome machines. This machine looked both affordable and easy to use, and it is just that. The instruction manual is very easy to read, with line drawings to guide you, and it will help you figure out anything you need to know about operating the machine. The presser foot is easy to quickly change out with the other foot attachments, such as the zipper foot, buy releasing a small lever on the back. I found it was very easy to sew zippers to a dress and a pillow cover that I made. The feed dogs (the gripping "teeth" that guide your fabric through as you sew) can be lowered/disabled if you don't want to use them at times. I haven't tried sewing buttons or making buttonholes with it yet, so I can't speak to that function. As for stitching, the options are basic, which keeps it simple for a beginning user. Basically there are a couple of straight stitches and a few zig zag stitch options, which are helpful for either very basic embroidery patterns, or for creating zig zag seams for stretchy fabric. It is easy to adjust the length of stitches as well as the stitch type by turning the dials on the front of the machine. Filling the and threading the bobbin (the spool of thread that creates the underside of the stitch) was very easy to do, just follow the instruction manual. I haven't had to adjust the tension at all since I bought the machine, and I have sewn on woven fabrics as well as t-shirt type jersey fabrics. If you're sewing with delicate or stretchy fabrics I do recommend buying some universal ball point needles since they help prevent accidental tearing or snagging of the fabric. Also the foot pedal is nice to use because you can control the speed by pressing lighter or more firmly on the pedal, much like driving a car. :) My only complaint about the pedal is that the cord could be slightly longer to allow for easier positioning. I would definitely recommend this machine or another similar Janome machine if they ever discontinue this model.

After breaking a much, much older machine, and after a lot of reading reviews for similar products from Brother and Singer, I landed on this one. One of my main concerns was being able to sew through fleece material. This machine is able to do it quite well, sewing through as many as 4 layers of fleece (although only for distances of less than an inch). I'm a beginner, but I was able to put together a onesie without missing any stitches. I didn't use a walking presser foot, but I will be purchasing one soon. The material itself is too thick for a regular presser foot. If you do not have a walking foot, you'll end up doing a lot of correcting during your stitch, and you'll need to afford yourself some leeway in your seam allowances. I find the machine easy to use, and I do not require any stitches from the advanced array of stitches seen on other models (who does really?). I have used the stitch length adjuster, zig-zag pattern, and buttonholer without any issues in terms of performance, ease of configuration, and execution. The bobbin isn't the easiest to use, but it seems like a sturdy and reliable design, which is more valuable to me than ease of use. Time will tell if it does indeed last. I have noticed that my thread is getting caught on the bobbin for some reason during use occasionally. I'm not sure if that's due to a material or configuration issue. As a beginner, I would have liked a max-speed selector. I still have some trouble hitting the right speed when I engage the machine, or am simply not yet comfortable with starting the machine at a fast stitching rate.

This sewing machine is amazing. I can sew through several layers of fabric and it runs like a work horse. I use Janome brand presser feet but have been buying the Distinctive brand presser feet for several years now, which are less expensive but just as well made as the Janome brand. As far as thread, I use Gutermann's thread exclusively with this machine and I would suggest you invest in quality threads too. This machine let me know it would not tolerate low quality threads because whenever I would use any dollar store thread or even Coats & Clark thread, it would tangle up in the feeds. As soon as I cleared the tangle and replaced the thread with the Gutermann's, the machine ran smoothly and perfectly. It knows what it wants. I have not had to oil this machine since I have had it but if you want to do that, I suggest you find a sewing machine specific oil and not using WD40 or any other oil in this machine. You take of this machine and it will take care of you. I can take this machine from room to room, it is lightweight and easy to carry around. I have had my machine for well over 5 years now and do not regret Janome one iota. I taught my grandchildren on this machine and if an 8 year old can run it, anyone can. The only part that has ever broken which I had to replace was the storage arm which was my own fault for pulling it off roughly one day when I was in a hurry. Janome is not an easy company to get in touch with anymore and our authorized dealers (mom and pop sewing and fabric shops) in our area have all gone out of business but I have found a couple of online stores that carry parts for the Janome line and had no trouble finding the parts I need. The 2212 is an older model machine but I find the older machines to be made better and if you can find this machine for below $300. 00 , that's a bargain! Can't recommend this machine enough especially to beginners. So user friendly!

My old machine died so i needed a basic machine to replace it. My friend loves her Janome so i just looked at that brand. The 2212 has all the basic features ( although i would have loved just one decorative stitch) . Easy to operate. It can handle some thickness in fabric. I did a craft project sewing gathered hand towel edges into a folded cotton fabric and the machine didn't falter. I'd say this is a good sewing machine for the money. Edit: I had a problem with my machine after a few months so on looked at the warranty and brought it to an authorized Janome dealer. They charged me $42.50 to fix it . They called Janine directly to confirm non application of the warranty. Further down on the warranty it says the warranty is null and void if not bought by an authorized Janine dealer...Amazon is NOT!! Amazon has its own one year warranty if you want to ship it back to them at your cost which would come to about what I paid for repair. So no one year service warranty (labor) unless you want to mail it back to Amazon, and it follows that there is no 25 year warranty (defective parts) as well. So the bargain you think you are getting is no bargain at all. The warranty from Janine DOES NOT APPLY!!!
