Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sewing Pretty with Hello Kitty REAL Sewing Machine by Janome
Customer Review: Perfect for the beginning/casual sewer
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this machine for three months now and I love it. It's easy to understand and use. It's not an intimidating machine at all. I'm an adult beginning sewer, learning by reading books and practicing. I find it's perfect for my needs. I don't foresee myself becoming a sewing maniac but I like being creative and just making or repairing things. As a result, a machine like this totally fits my needs and the adorable Hello Kitty design helps make the work even more fun.
Update 02/20/2009:
I turned into a sewing maniac after all! As a result, I discovered the limitations of this machine and eventually bought a full-size Janome electronic sewing machine that I'm very happy with.
Here are the limitations of the Hello Kitty version:
- there is no speed control. Like a golf cart, you either go or you're at stop. It helps to have better control otherwise you might not be sewing where you want to sew.
- the 4-step buttonholer was frustrating to use and I could never get consistent looking buttonholes.
Those were really the only two things that bothered me. I still have this machine because I love the looks of it, but I consider it a backup.
