Being newer to sewing, but wanting to increase my supplies, What do you think is better? This set or the set with 15 that is also here on Amazon.

I'm also new to sewing but am taking a quilt of the month class and this is a great set as we use different feet and techniques every month. It's got so many of the feet that we use in class at a fraction of the price, I'm very happy with this set.

Whether they fit or not, these bobbins are crap! Not worth a cent. I have a sewing school and thought I'd buy them as they'd fit my machines, which are also made by Janome. They were warped, broke easily and were yellowed, like the plastic was old. Do not buy these! By these other ones on Amazon, Link: http://amzn.com/B0038RAYL2. They will fit in your machine. I don't work for anyone who makes bobbins, just in case you want to know. I am trying to save you from a bad purchase. Your machine, as many machines now, use a class 15 bobbin. But, make sure, if you buy a bobbin labeled as a class 15, that you do not choose one that has a flat top/bottom. There are some class 15 bobbins that have a thinner edge and they are smaller than the ones I recommend and will not feed well when you use them. I hope this helps you.

If you can afford it, the 100 piece set is a better value. My grandson received the 100 piece set from his other grandparents for his birthday and I added the 32 piece set for Christmas and will continue to add so there is plenty to "share" when his sister is old enough.

I purchased the Sewing Machine Accessory Bible by Wendy Gardiner & Lorna Knight. On the Amazon website I was able to look inside the book and see the table of contents. They have many of the same specialty feet that I have and there are several pictures as well as instructions and tips. I also take advantage of the many youtube videos that actually show people using the different feet. The major sewing companies have a lot of instructions and videos online too.

I ordered the Travel set 1st & needed more because I have long hair. When I compared the set of 30 to buying them 6 at a time, it made more sense. I made use of both steamers. I have a summer home. You can share the 2nd set. The set of 30 is the best value & should be more than enough.

$6.00 is for one pack of 5 needles. I do not always buy the needle with the machine name. I use Singer & Universal on my Brother, Singer, & Janome. Just FYI you can look on Craftsy, How to choose Sewing Needles: I know you did not ask for the info, however it could be useful. Hope this helps.

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

Hello! These will stand up to considerable use. I have Stitchberry single tipped bamboo needles and they are much more fragile than these by Ostart. The latter is a lovely darker "polished" wood, not like the Stitchberry that I have to sand on occasion to keep smooth. Even the US 1 is a sturdy set. I live at the beach and store them in a plastic box inside the little plastic sleeves they were shipped in and mine haven't warped at all. I have been delighted with this set of double pointed needles, I use them very often [I don't have a telly so I craft instead]. I wouldn't be able to knit hats and baby things without them. :-)

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. =)

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

These are excellent thread and will fit most modern machines. They are cotton so there is an increase of lint and "fuzz" in your bobbin case so you will need to keep the bobbin case wiped out depending on the amount of sewing you do. I would recommend at lease very project or so. along with the bobbin case, you machine will need to be cleaned out professionally every year because of the lint.

One difference is the other model is for light to medium fabrics, but this one handles heavy ones as well, so it depends what you plan on sewing. For me it's worth the money to be able to sew pretty much anything.

I do not own this, but I've been considering it. One of the things I've noticed in looking at different kits is that this one comes with way more pieces than the other similar kits out there. It seems (to me) that a kit that costs $45 wouldn't give enough pieces to really do much. And by the time you buy enough kits to equal the number of pieces in this kit, you'd actually spend more. But... I hear ya. It's a pretty big chunk of change.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

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'm thinking the 12 set has a bigger variety but I LOVE the 8 piece set that next time I would try the 12 piece. I actually wish I had the 12 piece for the small price & good quality

Yes, very well. I am not an experienced sewer and I have learned so much just from just the book I received with the machine. I am a sewing nut now. I have hemmed at least 4 pairs of jeans and a pair of jean shorts already! The cuffs look awesome!! Everyone has complimented me on how well I have learned to sew in such a short time. I am actually Georges assistant Liz that ordered this.
