And Janome M7 Continental 😮😮

Ty, still starting out and only have the mysewnet free and Inkscape/stitch. Both are a headache to make correct files and stitching for my Ruby royal. Will Embird work on the husqvarna Viking Ruby royal? Are you able to free style with embird?

I have the HD2200 and I am very happy about it.. it is one of the only machines with metal body.

is the 404 supposed to be loud when sewing

Isn't that some sh!T! Very interesting video. Years ago, I wore a polyester shirt and didn't sweat at all, but the oder (several washings) would come back. I since then have tried to only buy 100% cotton. Nowadays, it's hard to find something without some stretchy, chemical made fibre in the garment. I don't sew clothes after a disastrous wedding dress fail. 🤣 The marriage failed too! LOL

Thank you so much, this was very very helpful. 10/10

tack. jag funderade på en men nu backar jag nog

OMG!!! I love you so much!!! I have this machine and acquired it after my Grandma passed. I have used this machine all my life. I wanted to make sure it was in good order before I started using it as it hasn’t been used in awhile. I will clean it. But I have been looking for spool pins as I think they have been lost in moving. I think I found some hopefully. But, it you have other videos on this machine, I will definitely watch. I had a hard time finding the model it was to replace the spools. Thanks you so much!!! Much appreciated. My 20 year old daughter will be getting this in the future as she is a seamstress.

Oh wow! I knew some of what you shared but.. MAN! Talk about scary crap! and your point about bras/bust support being only in stretchy materials is... illuminating. I think I may need to make some medieval linen support now! Thanks for taking the time to go through all of the science/articles and sharing with us.

Thank you for using your platform to talk about this issue. Recently I heard of a study on micro plastics found in men’s testicles! It is also important to me to get people to wash their fabrics before sewing, because you talk about chemicals in worn clothing, but in order to produce and ship fabric, they are treated with a whole host of flame retardants, pesticides etc. all those PFAS chemicals like water repellents and non-stick coatings do more harm than good, so please avoid them. Keep up the excellent work with your CZcams channel!

For a designer tailor who mostly using straight & zigzag stitchings, the plate switch for straight stitches is not an interesting option. What Juki machine is best for dressmakers, for professional tailors or garment makers?...😢😮😢😮

Wow - this was really interesting - thanks for sharing! I like natural fibers when I can sew with them - I find them more comfortable. Looking forward to more videos!

Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed the video, please do give a thumbs up.

Thank you. Always interesting. I rarely wear synthetics as I find they cause my skin to itch. When quilting I wash my fabric before using. The dyes and sizing etc. cause my hands to react. Also, I would love to wear linen, but the good stuff is too expensive for me and the lower quality linen has too much debris in it.

This was a refreshing video or review of the B990. Actually the only one I have seen so far that shows the pros & cons. You made some very good points (and common sense) of buying and actually using this new Bernina. I was also impressed with your description of the warranty, which is not that great, considering the cost of this machine and all the electronic features it has. (so many things could go wrong) Personally I would never buy a new on the market machine the very first year. Thank you so much for doing this video. I can't wait to see your review of the new Babylock & Brother machines that are debuting in Aug. Sept.

plastic is cheap...and people cannot resist a sale

Excellent video!

I have visited my Joann’s in my town. Very upset that everything is exactly as you showed at the store you are at. They claim they are not closing but I don’t see how they can stay open because as you said they really don’t have much of a selection of the material I was interested in. I’m 83 and have always shopped at Joann’s. Very upset. Even their help at my store were not knowledgeable. I need thread they had large spools on sale. However they were not stamped with what color. The navy blue looked like black. I needed black. Girl said it was black. I took it home and it was navy. So I am not a happy camper. Thank you for this video because at least it’s not just me. 😢

Thanks for the update.

It's not unusual to see Halloween items in July. Michaels has had their Halloween up for a while as well. Stores usually start stocking Halloween once 4th of July is over and they clear out all the July 4th and "summer" items.

I’ve visited Joann’s a few times when on holiday in USA and never been that impressed, wal mart has similar fabric much cheaper and independent shops are far superior for quilting cottons. It looks sad…..in UK we have a great online and high street presence shop called fabricland which I use a lot, they are reasonable and stock a lot of what I need. If I’m going all out I may travel to a city an hour or two away for something different, but sad to say online is the way it is here in UK…..

The Joann's on I-10 in west Houston, though it's not an old location, was obviously abandoned by corporate. It's poorly stocked and understaffed, and the facilities are already showing poor repair such as leaky ceilings. I honestly haven't been there in months. Meanwhile, the location in Meyerland is state-of-the-art, with big screen tvs all over the place running Joann ads. Don't know what to make of it.

I’ve been sewing for 55 yrs. Joann’s has been a disappointing experience for me the last 20 yrs. I can’t see a reason to shop there now.

Thanks for all your great videos. I have the 1600p and it’s a great machine. I formerly had the Juki 2010 and loved it. I gave it to my granddaughter. Both the Juki and the Janome are wonderful workhorses. I see no need to pay almost double for the Bernette.

Meanwhile, my local Joann got a new roof and parking lot in the last 7 or 8 months. I'll have to go by and see what the inside looks like.

I liked your review. Thank you for engaging people in a dialogue. I read all of the comments and I am glad you were not discouraged by any. Keep up the good work! I appreciate you and I value your opinion.

ooooh noooo The UK just lost its biggest high street store, Wilkinson's known to us as wilcos, bad management and over extended on properties and now every single high street and mall has a big wilkos shaped gap in it. Point being, as they were shutting down in September last year there was just isle after isle of Halloween and Christmas stuff at deep discount. Also, while looking up when wilkos closed I just found out pizza hut is now bankrupt as well :(

Joann forgot who was their customer base

A very entertaining review😂

I wanted to comment about the 'target' age group of the machine and using technology. I'm 67 years old and love using new features. Navigating should be easy. If people are having trouble navigating, it's the program not the user. I know you didn't mean to be offensive but please get over that idea that older people are not good at using technology. It has nothing to do with age.

Man! I love love love the table base that you’re using with your Bernina…..I’m assuming it’s a repurposed cutting board, yes? I actually had the same idea but couldn’t find a way to cut it to the shape needed. But I now have hope, rekindled - thanks! Plus superior advice on the old machines. I love to tinker with them but Goodwill prices their machines - when they have them - at $25 a pop, and most don’t have power cords or pedals, anyway…such a bummer!💕

Thank you for the video. Which material did you use?

Thanks for a great review. I have been sewing for well over 50 years and a die hard Bernina lover. I am not that impressed with the new 990, it seems that they could have done a lot more to fall more in line with the other TOL sewing machines. I have a 770 and 570 machines which I love and I cannot see ever needing anything more than what I have

Your views are the best! Thank you so much:)💜

Several years ago, my husband and I came across a neglected 404 at a local yard sale for $50 and brought it home without knowing anything about it. A lot of learning and a little love later and it has happily powered through anything we have thrown at it. I absolutely adore our 404.

Thank you for the extra info.

I appreciate the content of this second video. Nevertheless, I am disappointed by Bernina's practice of acquiring existing products and simply rebranding them. It is disheartening to see an increasing number of sewing companies engaging in this behavior. For instance, Brother and Baby Lock sewing and embroidery machines are essentially identical, with new models being introduced simultaneously.

No I do not think its worth much. But Isn't 70 weight thread thinner than 40 or 50 weight? Also, i would like to know how you spell your first name, Cherie, as to thank you properly! Love your content!!!

You can buy 4 Juki ddl8100 industrial sewing machines for the same amount of money that this toy costs. So I don't see an issue with the 2nd thread path.

didnt the first white janome straight stitch have that open half bobbin casing that created many challenges and then the updated black starlight stitch machine have the normal bobbin back to resolve the issue?

Commenting to say that if I sit here and do the maths, write pros and cons list and really search my heart I have to say I want the Janome HD9BE just because it looks so awesome. My only mild concern is that I needed something to only sew corduroy so I bought a white Singer Heavy Duty because it looked cool, only to find later that I could only get the extension table in grey and that ruined the effect.

Do you think the 2nd thread path is worth the extra money?

I have made a follow up video about the secondary thread path. Here is a link: czcams.com/video/fjssaekXQ9o/video.htmlsi=HkSXWGLFEMZ4bYGe

I was shocked that one cannot drop the feed dogs on this machine. That seems prehistoric.

I'm currently performing some due diligence to decide on a machine upgrade, so I appreciate you taking the time to create this video. I too am looking at justification for the price difference. However, there are some points I'd like to add. Those after market lasers you refer to only provide a straight sewing line. The laser on the B790 Pro moves just ahead of the needle to show where the next stitch is going to go, even when using decorative stitches. It is impossible to replace this with an after market add-on. It's incredibly helpful for decorative stitches, applique and sewing over existing stitches. You mentioned that the machine is marketed at older sewists. Many of them are experiencing diminishing eyesight. So the laser is probably going to help them in ways that many of us cannot appreciate. The hook has been redesigned and the machine is quieter as a result. This new hook is allegedly going to be on all new models going forward. This is not a cheap undertaking. The embroidery module is improved, delivering significantly increased stitching speeds. Someone who is into free motion quilting may have no need for longarm designs and morphing. Many older sewists struggle with arthritic hands, so FMQ is something they can no longer enjoy. They may really appreciate the longarm designs and the functionality this provides. The jumbo hoop is easier to operate than the hoops of old, as you mentioned. The ability to use longarm designs and the inbuilt creativity with stitch design, plus the ability to purchase embroidery designs, may remove the need for digitising software. That's expensive to buy and one may need to purchase a software upgrade each time one upgrades one's PC. Potentially that's a significant offset to the B790 Pro's purchase price. There's an automatic needle threader; again a very useful feature for someone with arthritic hands or diminishing eyesight. The only decision I don't understand is the included BSR. I think that would be better as an optional extra, since many who buy it for the longarm features are probably not interested in the BSR.

It needs something to stand out from other straight stitch machines

When I finally saw ads for this machine my thoughts were, finally what others have been offering for years. And I already own two Berninis, B440QE and B570QEE so I do love Bernina. I have a long arm so I don't need that long harp for quilting. Now for embroidery? Yes. But not at $22K. I can buy a multineedle embroidery machine for a lot less instead. It is a beautiful machine. If I won the big lottery I would buy one. But do I need it? No.Technically I don't need everything the two I already own can do.

Though, I would like the speed adjustment, and empty bobbin indicator, I’ll stick with my Brother PQ1500SL that I bought used for $400. It has drop feed and pin feed for difficult materials.

It happened to me So TIGHT

I wonder how this compares to the Siser Romeo 24” machine.
