I don't know of any videos for this machine specifically. I spent a lot of time with my manual when I first got my machine. If yours didn't come with one, you can always download it off the Janome.com website.

Think call the dealer, nope! Not helpful. I have searched the internet far and wide, and found you. The information here has helped. My question is: Do you know of any videos or anything besides the obvious ones. watched them not helpful. I feel horrible for my daughter with this purchase and she has not one item from it. Thanks for any help or advice you have for us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744164412541537920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-80039837508167765922018-01-23T17:05:39.173-05:002018-01-23T17:05:39.173-05:00Hello Jeni Baker and everybody.

I agree with...Hello Jeni Baker and everybody. MKB, <br />I agree with you.<br /> The Singer 301A direct drive all metal (except textolite "handwheel" gear) machine <br />is more expensive to build than Janome 1600P-QC whith 2 belts and 1 plastic gear (handwheel ???). The big advantage with Janome 1600P is almost all bearing vs all bushing Singer 301A, thereby Janome 1600P does not need to be lubricated then Singer 301A.

But if it did break down (let's hope not!) or just goes into the shop for repairs, you might find that a vintage Singer 301 will meet your needs. You can pick one up for $100 or less, and it is a perfect straight stitcher that can reach speeds of over 1500 spm. Since you've used a Featherweight, you know how great these vintage machines are, and the 301 is dind of a cross between your Janome and the Featherweight, in fact. Just a thought!

I am happy to read a review from a real sewist and not a blogger whose page is filled with affiliate links.

I don't even know how long I've had it. 6 years??ish I use mine for every thing. FMQ, piecing and bag making. I didn't even know until a couple of years ago that it had a extra high presser foot lift! BONUS for bag making!!!! Glad to read you review. I always wanted a 7700. Now, I don't feel the need :) I would like another machine for piecing, just so I don't have to adjust my tension for FMQ. Plus I'd like a few more stitch options for garment making-which I have never really tried. I have a serger that I'm scared to death of.Danih03https://www.blogger.com/profile/06038011201802847978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-64720380626262754862017-03-21T10:10:19.520-04:002017-03-21T10:10:19.520-04:00Thanks for the review.

I was getting worried that this model is obsolete and not worth purchasing. My sewing machine/repair guy has a brand new one to sell me and I'm strongly considering the purchase of the 1600P-QC. I have a 30year old New Home (Janome) that I will never give up. The only reason I desire something bigger is for machine quilting because my New Home has a pretty small neck area and it's impossible to quilt anything bigger than a baby quilt. Your review helped a lot. Thanks so much and happy sewing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-46260261621243586102017-03-02T13:47:13.878-05:002017-03-02T13:47:13.878-05:00Your review is spot on!!

I have to agree with everything you said, the machine is awesome. I use one for piecing and the other for quilting. I also have to agree with Four Dogs and One Quilter, the convertible free motion quilting foot is one accessory not to be without. I can't say enough about this machine...it made me a Janome person for life.tnmtgrlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-45525792943230765972017-02-28T15:11:26.171-05:002017-02-28T15:11:26.171-05:00I've had a Janome Memory Craft 6300 for a litt...I've had a Janome Memory Craft 6300 for a little over a year and I really love it. It can handle things so much smoother than my old machine, and the extra throat space is a sanity saver when quilting large quilts. I considered the 1600P but I really needed the additional functions (mostly the buttonhole, zig-zag, and stretch stitch) for apparel sewing. <br />Glad to know you are happy with your machine!

Sometimes that is what takes, oh well :-D<br />I am very pleased to hear about this machine. <br />I am several olden machines. All old Singers. Sometimes I imagine selling the whole herd, except my mom's beloved Singer 316G, and perhaps "Mary" my 301A and then there is Maria and Lucy and Margaret, the Featherweight sisters...... but the others... I could find new homes for them, and then get a good machine with a big bed and a tall harp. I love mechanical machines the best and have no desire to purchase a computerized. They are delightful to play with at the shops though.Rosemary B❤️https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792395820711368533noreply@blogger.com
