Janome 6300 Professional: Can anyone give me a review of this machine?
1697045
I think it might just do - I have this machine and love it. But for Queen sized quilts, you might want a machine with a longer harp area but this machine has about a 9" harp, and there are others out there with a couple more inches - such as the Janome 7700, and also models in the Viking, Pfaff, and Bernina lines, as well as Babylocks and Brothers.

Here's what a correct functioning machine should look like: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1KZELKXIZQMCG/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005PK7RW4

Hi. There are deficits in every working part in the Bernina 830. I have one and my two friends got one at the same time. They have been to and fro to Bernina for repairs that often that we have lost count. Bernina never admit that there are faults and usually accuse us of mis using them but mysteriously carry out repairs free of charge. I would never buy another machine from them. Ever. Liz

Farhan, A. I have purchased two of these Juras. I consider Jura to be close to the best , if not, the best that there is on the market. This model is ideal for home use. It is quite sophisticated as coffee machines go. It is 100% electronically controlled. There are a few do's and don't's. The user manual is detailed. The machine requires frequent attention due to its size. It has a 9 servings water capacity. It rinses when switched on and off. You sound like you are going to need a model more designed for purpose. You have oodles to choose from. This model is close to the lowest price scale. Choose well.

It runs very well. It has a good processor and works better than a newer HP laptop that I purchased at Walmart for $375 For $175.99 you are getting a great deal. The only thing I didn't like was the small hdd, which I replaced with a 500gb one.

I bought it about 3 yrs ago and still use it. What you can't expect it to do is run anything that needs os10.6 or above. I use it basically as an internet machine although I still record music with garageband which is the main reason I bought it in the first place. If I were looking for an inexpensive mac right now I would get a later model macbook pro, like my wife has. I've seen them on Amazon used for.about 700 bucks and that is a lot of computer for that money She bought hers new from Amazon about 2 years ago for about 2300. If you could find one for 7 or 8 hundred bucks, that would be a good deal. It is, in fact, what I going to do in a couple of months. I bought it about 3 yrs ago and still use it.

I think you are making a wise choice. This is a good machine and replaced my 1st ProForm, which I used 8 years and it was a cheap model..$599. It still works too but is noisy. They make a great machine.

I cannot remember....I am sure you can go online with Singer and see...or YouTube. I bought the more expensive model because it did have, I think, more stitch designs, it also cuts thread and I felt for a little extra money, I would go with the best, as it might be my last machine. I test drove the Bernina, Viking, Baby Lock.....I hate my Janome, which is why I was trying to find a better machine overall....I felt the Bernina is a rip-off...women ooh and ah over it to beat the band, but honestly....for the thousands of dollars and the fact that feet are $50.00 each and more...it is an advertising schmooze. Getting women to believe the Bernina is the best is just that...a schmooze! Viking and Singer are now made at the same manufacturing plant....Brother and Baby Lock are made by the same company, also. I have a stand alone embroidery machine by Janome...and I have a Babylock Serger (it's awesome)....and of all the machines I own..,.if I have a project....I go immediately to my Singer Quantum Stylist....it has the strength and the power and all the stitch designs I will ever need...it is much easier to program than the Brother...easier to thread than the Brother...is quieter than the Brother and when it cuts the thread it is MUCH quieter than the Brother and I cannot imagine a project other than sewing awning canvas that it can't do. If you are going to sew awning canvas, then get a mechanical machine...don't be fooled by the word COMMERCIAL....get a TRUE hardcore mechanical machine that doesn't do anything but sew straight stitches

It does great for home based quantities, we used it for bread. But I think it's underpowered and undersized for this. Step up to the 600, can't remember the exact model but it's larger and heavier. That is what we needed to do. If you price shop you'll find the heavier one for just a little bit more. I bought one of the heavier new and one of the heavier factory refurbished for my daughter. The first refurb had a bit of noise; they replaced it right away and the replacement has been fine for 5 years. Hope this helps!

Machine always makes some noise. Maybe go to nespresso.com and find a place to see a demo first so you know what to expect.

I have the Juki MO-654 and I love it! I do have some experience with sewing and I think this machine is very easy to use. I've only had it a few months but it's already proved itself with many sweater coats and armwarmers. =)

Hi, I just bought one of that. I'm loving it! I have no troubles with it. good luck!

I would personally recommend this machine. It's slick, fast and super easy to operate. I've had mine for probably 1 year and had no issues at all!

I'd stay away from this machine. Not because of noise, but because you'll have to return/exchange it multiple times. It is really unreliable. It isn't really all that noisy and its convenient as well. I wish they weren't made so shoddily otherwise I would still have one.

Sadly (if you're on a budget at all), the next step up I believe is the Brother 1250...a gorgeous machine, but runs about $1700. Not available at Amazon; I think you have to buy it from a dealer. I want exactly the same thing, but not to spend that much on a hobby I only do once in awhile. I ordered the Singer Futura XL-400 because it just is TOO tempting despite the reviews....has large embroidery area and some nice regular sewing stitches....guess what? The machine CROAKED the first time we tried to embroider with it! My husband is a computer guy and I'm experienced at embroidery...we read the directions carefully..... VERY disappointing, I should have believed the reviews here on Amazon....would not recommend that machine, no matter how tempting it looks! Getting customer service from Singer is nearly impossible, too. Hope you find this helpful....wish Brother would come out with something as dependable as the se400, but with 5x7 capabilities at the lower price!
