 Fun and differentFeb 01, 2010
By Catherine M. George

This is a crafting tool, not a sewing machine, but if you like to needle felt, rug hook, crochet, etc. or other things that give you a lot of "fiber" materials in your crafting closet, this thing is marvy! You can take a piece of felt, burlap, muslin, and make tapestries and wall hangings with yarn, roving, bits and pieces of ribbon, etc. in half the time it would take to do it by hand. Although it will "join" materials together, it is not like an applique process where the pieces could potentillialy withstand a machine washing, so for garments you will probably need additional hand-sewing on elaborate creations. But -- it's fun and has "no rules" for use.

a nice little machineDec 02, 2010
By David M. Germaine
This is a nice little machine for needle felting. Reasonably priced as it only has 1 function. Needle felting. I turned it on and it purred as the 5 needles went into their individual holes. I once had a machine by a different manufacturer and the single needle would hit the plate. Not good.
It comes with an extra needle holder with 5 needles. Other manufacturers supply on the machine a needle holder that allows you to change each of the needles individually, also allowing you to choose how many needle you want to use at a time and different sizes. Janome makes it as an optional accessory that does allow you to change the needles individually, however you have to pay almost $40 to get it, and you will want it, adding on to the cost of the machine. It has a second needle plate with 1 large hole that works with a single needle holder that they give you. It is nice to have the extra needle plate.
Perhaps on day they will add another needle plate and a holder that holds more needles in it, like one of the other manufacturers has but it is not sold by Amazon. All in all I am pleased with the machine. It is light and easy to carry around and will make needle felting even nicer to use when making larger items.
Great getting it with free shipping.

This was a great find. I have not had trouble with broken needles as many do but I watched the DVD and read the cautions. Works well and its fun to use.

I was surprised how much fun this machine is. I have spent hours testing it on different fabrics and fibers. It came via Amazon from Sew-Vac-Direst in TX. It arrived quickly and in great condition. Since I ordered mine, 3 of my friends have ordered one. We all love it.

By dvitola
I just received my machine this afternoon and have already run up lace and brocade cuffs. It's a sturdy machine, good quality. I'm glad I chose a Janome.
