Thanks for the tips on your marking tools! I totally agree with you on the "Ultimate Marking Pencil". It's tricky to use on knits and silkier fabrics!
Thanks Myra, glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to seeing what industrial machine you pick up for your bag making creations. I also keep a box of Crayola chalk near me. I pick them up during back to school sales. You never know when you'll need them!
Exactly!! I'm always scouring the back to school supplies for sewing stuff - LOL!
Thanks for the update on the HD3000. I have an HD5000 which is similar to yours. I am a beginner and self taught.
This may be something that everybody knows, but I had a lot of trouble with needles and thread when reversing direction until I started manually lowering the needle all the way whenever switching direction.
Maybe it's just my machine, or maybe everyone but me knew that.
Keep up the good work. I appreciate the information you offer.
Glad it was helpful! Reversing with the walking foot on is what seemed to be my problem - LOL! I didn't know I couldn't do that. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the information.
No problem, thanks for watching Margie
I'm not sure how I missed your in Houston too! My husband bought me a Janome CoverPro 1000 for Christmas and it's a great machine. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. Love following a "local' maker! :)
Hello local Texan! That is awesome, what a great gift. I have my eye on a coverstitch, but not this year. I can see how they are so useful.
The Janome Hd 3000 is a great machine. And. you cannot stitch backwards with a walking foot. My machine came with several different feet including a walking foot. I love it!
Yep Sandi, several others mentioned about the backstitching as well. My machine didn't come with a walking foot, I had to purchase mine separately. Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you for the video. For what it's worth, I own the Sailrite LS-1, their entry level machine. I've been pretty happy with it and I think Sailrite has pretty good service. If I ever upgrade to a full on industrial, I would probably get the Fabricator.
Great to hear and I really want to test the machine at Tandy, but I've heard nothing but great things.
Thank you 🙏🏻 your two reviews have the information I was looking for. I have a Janome 1030MX and even though I love it I wanted a heavy duty, so I think an industrial is a better option for what I have in mind (more work, heavy fabrics, maybe stuff for selling etc). Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I totally agree, if you plan to do more heavy duty sewing definitely suggest saving up for something a little more powerful. Thanks so much for watching.
Wonderful INFORMATIVE INFORMATION…You got it going on Young Lady…Oh and I did purchase the ZigZag SAILRITE …AND though have not yet used it for some of my work…I just LOVE IT …WE tested it out…and feel so GRATEFUL to have it…I also have an JANOME M7…AND TOTALLY LOVE IT…I DO A LOT OF WILD CRAZY PATCH work etc…. Sincerely Mrs.Carmen Balko
Thanks so much! I have yet to go test the Sailrite in my local Tandy Shop. Thanks so much for watching.
I would take the machine in, there shouldn’t be issues with it.
Glad you made this review, since I will be purchasing one now for sure.
Glad it was helpful. I've learned from some subscribers that I can't reverse with the walking foot on, so that solves that problem when using the walking foot. However, there's some other things I definitely want checked out. Thanks so much for watching.
@@SewNaturalDane I heard that too...I want a walking foot but too expensive for this machine.
I am looking to buy the Janome HD 5000 BE. Unfortunately, there are no authorized dealers here. Seller did say I could have it serviced at any shop but warranty issues would have to be sent back to him. I really like what I hear about Janome HD machines. Thank you for this video!
Glad you found the video helpful. Yes, I definitely prefer to get from a dealer if at all possible, just makes things easier for maintenance and repairs (if needed). Thanks so much for watching.
Great video. I like to use Crayola washable markers for tracing patterns. For light fabrics, anyway. They're meant for kids and the lines come right out in the wash.
On the subject of the Janome HD3000... I bought one of these a couple of months ago and I am not happy with it. Despite it being advertised by every vendor as having a 1.0A amp motor, which is more powerful- it came with a pitiful 0.5A amp motor and can barely go through 4 layers of cotton.
This machine is anything but heavy duty, and IMO about equal to a machine that's half the price. There are a lot of complaints online from other users about this machine with the 0.5A motor.
So anyone looking to buy this "heavy duty" HD3000- bear that in mind. :-/
I will be very interested to see if you get a *real* heavy duty machine. Good luck!
Great feedback Candy. I'm saving up for an industrial, definitely excited about that. Thanks for watching 😊
I have a tandy leather near me too. It's where I get my leather from. They have good pricing on their leathers and supplies. I've seen the Sailrite machines in there but haven't thought to try one.
I'm excited to head back to Tandy and give those machines a try.
Hello, I love all 4 of my Jamone machines. One thing is I always buy from a
dealer. If any problems that will help and show you how to use the machine.
Exactly, definitely support getting from a dealer.
From my understanding, you are never to go reverse with a walking foot on. You walking foot doesn’t have a reverse lol. So it’s going forward and your feed dogs are going backwards at same time. That will definitely break a needle.
Lisa, that is good to know!! That explains the issue when using the walking foot, thank you. However, I still have the same problem when using other feet at well. Definitely will need to ask the dealer.
You cannot use reverse with a walking foot or you can wreck your machine. That is why you are having problems. You are correct, Lisa.
This video was so informative! I just have one question- By 'no speed control', do you mean that when you press the foot pedal, it's either 100 or 0, (as opposed to a sliding scale of speed based on pressure) or something different?
Once again thank you for the video!
Hi there, yes, it's based on the amount of pressure put on the foot petal. I'd prefer if I can control it better like on my other machines. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching.
Check out the Juki TL2010Q or the TL18. I have both and absolutely love them. I make bags.
Thanks Shari, I find that most bag makers love the Juki, but I believe I will go with the Sailrite in the end.
@@SewNaturalDane the sailrite is a rebranded Reliable Barracuda, look it up save some $$. All aftermarket parts sailrite makes can-be used on the barracuda .
Have you done buttonholes on thick cable knit fabric on your Jerome machine? I’m needing a new machine that can handle thick fabrics and do button holes on thick fabrics. Appreciate your help!
GREAT question and very timely! I have not done any button holes with this machine yet, but I will be practicing it very soon as I need another option for doing buttons.
Great Video! I'm a semi-beginner sewer and I also have the Janome HD-3000 and have issues when sewing layered thick canvas. The machine nearly always jams and I have to rethread, did you have this issue?
Hi Roel, not jamming, but maybe try a different thread type. I use the gutterman (spelling?) thread (70) and it works really well with my machine. If it keeps happening, also check the type of needle. I typically use a jean needle and you may need to change the needle for every new project. Just a few suggestions for you. Thanks for watching.
Good Day, Love your video. Anyone , correct me if I’m wrong. My understanding is you are not to use reverse while using a walking foot. My Janome has a lock stitch that lock the first stitch and last when activated. This comes in handy while using the walking foot because it stitches in place without reversing. I’m not sure if your Janome comes with this stitch. Trying to reverse with a back stitch can cause damage to your machine while using a walking foot. But if I’m wrong let me know...
Thanks for the info and I didn't know that, but another commenter said the same thing. So I will no longer backstitch with the walking foot, but I still experience the same problem with the other feet. Hopefully, the dealer can help.
How can I change the light bulb that it brings? what model is it? where can I get it? can you help me please
I haven't changed the light bulb on this, but I know there are tutorials on CZcams, just look up the machine model Janome HD3000. Thanks for watching.
I've got the Janome HD 3000 BE, and while I've never had performance issues with it (I make quilts, so mostly use cotton fabrics), I dislike the lack of speed control, up/down needle function, and the trifling, flimsy little foot pedal.
Lin, yeah great machine, just a few fiddly bits.
Did you try using the white foot for faux leather that comes with the machine? Heard that helps 🤷🏼♀️
Actually, a clear foot comes with the machine, not the white Teflon foot. The Walking Foot seems to work the best so far. Thanks so much for watching.
@@SewNaturalDane I have the black one it came with a teflon foot! I'm loving this machine!
I have 2 older Janomes and both do not always grip the fabric, and the fabric slides and does not line up with the stitches.
Yeah, that's something I'm not sure why it does that. It's a great machine, just a couple things that are quirky.
Please let us know an update after taking to the dealer. I’m considering this sewing machine, but with the issues you have had with it not wanting to reverse with all the kinds of feet (excluding the walking foot) I’m concerned.
I surely will, it may be a while. So, if you have a dealer or sewing shop near you that carries this particular one I suggest going in for a demo and take some fabrics with you as well to test.
@@SewNaturalDane I’ve been to the only one in my area and unfortunately they do not have it in stock to test it out, because everyone bought up their stock of mid price and under, machines since Covid began. Ty for your review, it has been very helpful. :)
@@talesofavloggingmommy8479 awww, to bad hopefully they'll get one in soon. Glad the review was still helpful.
I’m into making leather wallets is this a good machine for that ?
I saw your other questions, since I'm not a leather goods expert I don't know for certain. In my demo video I tested a VERY thin piece of leather and wasn't exactly sure of it's weight, but if I recall it was very think like 2 or 3 oz. Sorry can't be more of help. Thanks for watching the follow-up video.
Sorry you’re having problems with needles breaking and fabric not feeding properly. I have Janome HD 3000 and Janome Skyline 5 and like them, but don’t like Janome walking feet. I just sew garments, not bags. The walking foot arm tends to stick in upright position. I’ve used a nail file on the walking foot housing and even a little oil - it works better for a while, but eventually problem comes back again.
Suggest you post your problem on Pattern Review.com under Janome Sewing machine forum. You don’t have to be a paid member, only need to register. Good luck!
Thanks Joann, I'm actually a paid member on Pattern Review (I have quite a few reviews up on the site). I'll have to remember when I log in there again to leave a review. However, I have learned that I can't reverse with a walking foot or it will cause the problems I'm having. Though I still need to take it in for the other issues I'm having. Thanks for watching.
Sounds like you need adjusting. Certainly shouldn’t need to lean on the reverse button like that. The shop should’ve seen to it.
I'll definitely go back, but haven't had a chance with the pandemic to go in yet for my in person follow-up. Thanks so much for watching.
(This is just my opinion)... I still own my old 1973 Kenmore Sewing machine from my childhood but I stopped using it for the newer models....that thing is a WORK HORSE!! It is my first machine!! I didn't know anything about "skip stitches" or any dragging problems. That's because it is a all metal machine. These newer "plastic parts" machines (I own 4 now) keep trying to compare themselves with old school. You shouldn't have to struggle with a new one. It should perform just as the dealer said that it would. The reverse should reverse! The fabric choice should go through regardless. I totally love your channel and you. But I'm asking myself why is she having problems already 😕?
Also consider purchasing a "industrial bobbin winder" not the Singer one from Walmart. My burned-out within 6 months of using it (Singer). This will help the motor in the long run.
I agree with you about the Kenmores. I got one so I could make jeans. Workhorse is an understatement. That thing sews through 12 oz denim and leather with no problem and I got it at the thrift store for like 20 or 25 dollars. I now have an industrial but I won't get rid of my Kennie.
Oh wow, you got an AWESOME deal on that machine!!!
I had no idea there was such a thing as industrial bobbin winder, I will have to look into that. Thank you! As far as the reversing, I was told by a couple commenters you can't reverse stitch with a walking foot or it will mess with the machine. So that explains that when using my walking foot, but not when using the other feet, so hopefully the dealer will assist with that. Glad you have a workhorse, there is something to be said for metal parts.
You cannot reverse with a walking foot attachment. Well, you can if you want to wreck your machine. You can only go backwards with a legitimate walking foot machine.
Hi Randi several other subscribers already mentioned that when the video was originally released, thanks for feedback. Thanks for watching
Sabe si cose tul, encaje o satin?
No, I don't or have sewn with those textiles 😊
Very informative video but you must have said um 100 times
Ummm, thank you so much for watching 🤗🤗 ummmm glad you found it informative 😉
