Can anyone tell me how this machine compares to the Janome DC2014? I am a beginner and trying to decide between the two.

Can't compare the two models, but I can report on the 5100. This is my dream sewing machine. I've sewn on Singer, Brother and Home. I've liked my Singers, but the Janome is my dream. I'm recently retired and plan to keep my Janome's pedal "to the metal."

I can't tell you anything about Pfaff because I have never owned a Pfaff. When I bought the Janome HD3000 I was looking for a heavy duty sewing machine that would sew through layered heavy fabrics, such as denim, etc. I had a Singer at the time, and had always owned Singers, and had noticed that with each new Singer I bought, the quality was less than the previous Singer. I don't know what happened to Singer, but in my opinion they have put out a less and less quality product over the past 10 to 15 years. The question I asked in my search engine was something like "what is a good heavy duty sewing machine". That led me to a demonstration video where I watched someone using the Janome to sew through the depth of fabric layers that I needed. And when I bought the machine, it worked just like in the video. It sails through layers of fabric that used to invariably tangle up and stop the Singer.

I think the biggest difference is the 4-step buttonholer on this machine and the 10 stitches versus the one-step buttonholer and 25 stitches on the 2600. The stitch length, width and thread tension are also preset for you on the lower end model. It's worth the $16 for the high end model because 4-step buttonholer is a pain and requires a lot of patience. Also, if there is no stitch or thread tension adjustments you can make yourself, you are stuck trying to work around problem materials on the machine without any way of adjusting the machine.

I love my CE7070. It is a reliable machine and it is helping to relearn how to sew. I would recomend to any stage seamstress.

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB

Janome no longer makes the DC2030. The Janome 3160QDC runs $599. If you have any other questions instead of responding to this answer click on Sewing & Vacuum Warehouse below and contact us through Amazon's email system. I'm not able to reply to your comments. Thank you Sewing & Vacuum Warehouse

This is our second JURA we had the F5 before for over 10 years. We bought the C-9 about 4 months ago. These machines make the best cafe, expresso, ect.. Very easy to set up and easy to use. We use Illy coffee beans or others at times, just do not use coated beans as the instructions will tell you. I highly recommend this machine, I researched our purchase for a month and could not find a reason to buy any other brand/model. Height 13.5", width 11.25", depth 16" it fits in the kitchen on our counter top with 4.5" inches of clearance from the top of the JURA to the overhead cabinets.

I sent it back to exchange for the 8770. I like Janome but this one is plastic throat plate among other things. Go with the 8770 (its the same as the 7330 Mongolia without the decal. It works great but does not have automatic tension. I love myths DC3050's for my beginning students, but the 8770 will do just fine and is put together better and runs smoother.

It's better if you just buy it! Trust me, I've been using it for a long time and it's great how confortable it is to use "Maschine" than using the MPD32.On the MPD32 is very hard to push bottons though...Regards,Francisco Perez.

I don't know if it fits the Janome DC2010. On the Janome website it doesn't list this particular machine for this bobbin case. Maybe ask a dealer for assistance. Ken's Sewing Center in Alabama sells on Amazon and they are very helpful on the phone. I've bought several items from them for my Janome.

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. =)

I think so. I've only used one machine before this one and it was a really easy transition. This machine has a lot of options and settings, but they're easy to figure out. It just takes a read through of the manual and you should be good.

Check the site, I have a Janome and the should give you the machines the feet work on.

Kelsie5, We have sold a lot of both. The HD3000 is a mechanical machine, The DC2014 would be your computer machine, with more ease of use. The DC2014 allows you more flexibility. Both will sew well. Thank you,
