Janome JW8100 Fully-Featured Computerized Sewing Machine with 100 Stitches, 7 Buttonholes, Hard Cover, Extension Table and 22 Accessories

This is a A+++ machine at this price point - so many stitches and feet! I have a big Janome that is just too much to take out of the house for guild workshops and travel. I did a lot of research before purchasing and found the JW8100 had everything I wanted in a smaller machine that cost under $400. I love that it came with a hard cover for protection when it's in the car. The first thing I did when I unboxed it was to stitch out ALL the stitches and the buttonholes - wanted to make sure they looked good, they were better than just good, they were perfect! The lighting could be better but I have a stick-on LED light I bought that increases the lighting just fine. I've already taken it to 3 classes since buying in Jan. 2025, some of my guild friends have since purchased one too after giving mine a try. As long as one uses quality thread and the right size needles for whatever you sew, and regularly clean the bobbin area, this machine will be your friend for a long time.

I’ve personally been a loyal Husqvarna Viking owner for 25+ years. Like cars or special trinkets, you tend to collect a few here and there; especially if it’s your passion or hobby. When I would travel & teach quilting, my classrooms would be filled with all kinds of machine brands. I learned a lot from my students about machine preferences. Subjective, yet informative. My dream machine has been a Bernina for many years. Because I don’t have a Bernina budget, I looked at the next brand on my list—Janome.This machine is wonderful.It stitches smoothly.It’s quiet.It’s lightweight, yet sturdy.The 1/4” foot is lovely.I’d have to say that my only complaint is wishing the light was a little brighter, but that’s a matter of personal preference.This is a great “bang for your buck” machine whilst being a top of the line brand. It’s definitely a machine that is both beginner friendly and impressive to a seasoned maker.So whether you’re looking to replace your main machine or have a little side piece machine, this is definitely one worth owning.

I absolutely love this machine. This was recommended to me by a friend and she was soo right. It’s easy to use and with all the different stitches it make it so easy to do any projects. The cover case is not suited to transport the machine.

I’ve been sewing since I as 10 in 1957. I’ve had Kenmore, Singer, Viking and Bernina machines. My daughter borrowed my Bernina now and then and as it was getting to heavy for me (77) to tote around I gave it to her. I borred my other daughter’s Singer machine when u needed to sew. It worked ok. I decided I wanted a machine again and looked on Amazon. I as just going to buy a simple machine but when I saw this machine I thought “why not”, I work with computers, it can’t be to hard to understand. I’ve used it for a few small tasks and love it. It’s easy to understand the instructions and get the results I wanted. It runs smoothly and is fairly quiet. I got the needle threader to work too. I hem pants a lot so the free arm was a must. All in all it’s a great machine for everyday needs.

This machine has a tendency to skip stitches no matter what needle, fabric I use. I do not recommend this machine. It's been professionally cleaned to insure no lint and if I could return it I would.

This is a great machine. Anyone would love it and for the price it is super.

Better than I expected!
