I read that some models don't come with a foot pedal. Does this one come with everything I'll need to start sewing right away?

Yes, it comes with a foot pedal. It also has a couple of feet and a thing for button holes. There are a couple of bobbins included too. But the bobbins are not like Singer bobbins, so you need to stock up on the bobbins that fit Hello Kitty.

The foot pedal has a cord with a threaded end on it. Match it up to the cord coming out of the base unit push them together and then turn the collor and thread it on. Its very simple.

Mine came with the foot pedal. They should probably include ear protection since it is so loud. : )

I would check with the Designer 1 Viking sewing machine folks and inquire. I have put the foot on a couple machines that have the same style of putting the foot on a short shank machine. Hope this is of some help.

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.

The walking foot does not come with the machine but must be purchased separately. You don't necessarily need to purchase the Janome brand of foot if another brand indicates it will fit your particular make and model of machine.

Yes. And don't forget leather needles and a nonstick sewing foot or Teflon foot, these do not come with the machine.

The machine has the capability to do buttonholes but you would have to purchase a separate buttonhole foot. It doesn't come with one.

Yes, it is a good machine especially for a total beginner. Why? Because 1. It's not one of those toys going for $25.00 that breaks as soon as you plug it in, causes frustration and you end up quitting; and 2. Janome is one of the top 3 BEST sewing machine makers in the world. They stand behind their products and they do not disappoint. Very few Janomes end up in the repair shop. You want to start out with something simple so you can avoid confusion and learn the basics like I did. This machine is simple. If you have a good teacher (yeah, Youtube can be very helpful), follow the instruction manual, take your time and start with small simple projects you will do fine on this machine. This is why so many schools buy this very model for their sewing students in home ec class. This machine is white just like in the photo. It comes with a 5 pack of spare universal needles size 12 and maybe 6 spare bobbins. You should buy needles since you should change needles every project or every 4 hours of sewing time which ever comes first. Janome Brand, Organ or Schmetz flat shank are good. If you need more bobbins I would find a certified Janome dealer to buy from. Not all bobbins fit all machines. Do not use anything SINGER with this machine. And finally, make sure you buy from an authorized Janome dealer or the warranty will be void. Contact Janome for a list of dealers in your area. They have a website and FB page.

You get a few needles. Liner, shader and all that. Now the siring board idk what your talking about. The foot pedal? If do it got that too. And it's takes 3 seconds to set up the needle and grommets. And rubber bands. Really simple. You'll have fun doing art.

The foot pedal did not come with the welder when I purchased mine; it's a separate accessory. The unit has high frequency start, so no scratch start required. You can turn off the high frequency and use scratch start if desired.

We just ordered this keyboard and it does come with a foot pedal. The keyboard appears to be made well but the foot pedal feels cheap. It probably won't last long. Yes, there is an output jack for headphones but we have not used one yet.We are happy with our purchase. Hope you enjoy yours.

It doesn't come with extras. Just a couple of bobbins, a zipper foot and maybe a couple other things. I've had several sewing machines over the years, this is a good one. You will have to supply your self with a few things for your sewing basket, but don't buy anything until you really think you will need it. Basics will be a seam ripper, some pins, scissors, that's really about it. Don't buy machine needles, it comes with a few and you could easily get the wrong size. Take one of those with you to match it up. The instruction sheet in a pattern will guide you in any thing else you may need. Hope this helps.

I was new to sewing as well. As long as you read the instructions in the manual it is a very easy machine to use. Very easy to thread the needle, and I love the bobbin winding feature...I guess people don't like to sit down and actually read and learn about what they just bought... I had no sewing experience at all, and now I'm sewing like crazy!! Hope this helps... :)

I am a beginner and I am loving this machine. It comes with many "foots". Once you get the hang of it, Its like YES! I am a pro. Not really but its fun to dream. You will have no problem getting the hang of it. Do a simple project first then the sky is the limit.

No, the foot pedal doesn't come with software, nor does it come with a manual. I bought mine 10 months ago and when it arrived, all that was inside the box was the foot pedal. It works great with my pro version of the Express Scribe software. Hope this answer helps.
