Does the release of the fabric on the Janome CoverPro 900CPX a problem like the people have complained about on the Brother 2340 Cover Hem machine?

I have had both machine and definitely prefer and highly recommend the Janome. The stitches are perfect no misses and I work this machine a lot. I use a lot of spandex fabric and it still never misses a stitch even going over the seams. Releasing the fabric is always a problem unless you want to 'run off the edge' of the fabric and end that way. The brother always gave me problems as it would not always release the stitch like it was supposed to. The Janome does. Just make sure as you pull your fabric out you have hold of all 3 threads else you will unravel the stitches. I work with doll clothes and the only thing I wish the Janome would do was to give me a narrow stitch which the Brother has, but having used it now for over 6 months and it runs so smooth I can give up that for not having missed stitches or thread breaking. The arm extension is useful to be able to drop your fabric down and around. This feature is not on the Brother. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone wanting a cover stitch machine. This machine is used daily by me so 6 months of my life is probably over 12 months in someone else's life. :)

I have my sewing machine and serger sitting on it and sew with no problems. It works great for me. Because it is slim it fits well in my room but it is not the best if you want it to cut large items on. For my machine use and cutting small items it is perfect.

I have had no problems with the tension. I don't use it a lot, but so far am 100% HAPPY with this sewing 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

I bought my machine less than a year ago. I would buy the drawstring pads. Mine keep wanting to come off.

Mine so far is great! The fabric is starting to fade a bit. I think that if I bagged it instead of leaving it out it would have faired better, but as far as returning it the shipping would be more than I paid. So when mine rips I will just buy a new one.

I have had my machine for two years this month, and still like it! I generally sew mid-weight fabrics (clothing alternations, bags/purses) and it's going strong. Struggles a bit with thick layers like seams on denim, and sometimes very lightweight fabrics get tangled, but work slow and it's fine. I don't use a lot of the decorative stitch options, but everything seems to be in good working order.

This is a hard case cover. It does not snap into place but merely slides over the top of the machine. There is a cut out for the handle to come up through the cover. I lug my machine to sewing class weekly and it does the job. It is also a sturdy way to keep the machine covered when not in use non the down side, because it is not soft, it cannot be folded and stowed in a small space when the machine is bein used. Hope this helps.

Does your machine have a snap on foot? I used it on my Elna and it was fine. I don't know the Brother machine..

No, this would be a great fabric to use. My regular old Brother sewing machine had no problems sewing this material

No, I had no problem with the foot press or the bobbin. Try redoing the bobbin it may be in wrong since that happens at times.

I had this problem once or twice with this machine and my old Singer. (my only two machines ever). Once it was too much lint under the bobbin holder and it was fine once I really cleaned my Machine and got the little"dust bunnies" out of there. They almost look like felt. The other time, I simply had my bobbin in reversed and didn't realize it. I have already made four larger quilts and lots of small projects in the year I have had this machine. I LOVE it. Usually the problem is me, not the machine. LOL I have also learned to change needles often! Every new project or about 12-15 hours of sewing, which ever comes first.

Hi there. I had the same problem too. Until I discovered that if you stand with the iron rest end of the ironing board in front of you. Place your feet on the ends of the legs. And very easily slide/pull the iron rest toward you. Yes. That's it. Then when you're done just push it back closer to the board. I just love this ironing board. And yes. The covers are thin but I put a piece of that polyester batting (cut to shape) under the cover to plump it up a little bit. And I use snug straps/sheet tighteners to make the cover lay nice + flat + tight. They're available on Amazon. Have a good week! Hi there. I had the same problem too.

I purchased one of these about 1 year ago - after I figured out how to attach (I googled & watched Utube video) it worked like a charm. I have a Brother machine - not sure about Janome, but if it works, you will love it!

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.

I use mine quite often to press things that I don't need an ironing board for; and have never experienced any of the quilting pattern to transfer to my garments or flat pieces. Never really thought about the possibility of it; but have been using mine for a few month now and have not experienced it happening.

I would call singer themselves to be sure of the exact number the foot has to be for your machine. I believe singer took over brother sewing machines. Call early in the morning at 8am to talk to some one right away. I want you to know that singer has not been the best with customer service in the past couple years. They have really let their quality slip. I am sorry to see this in singer but they should be able to answere your question. The best sewing machine is a Janome.
