Janome Heart Truth HT 2008 LE Sewing Machine Review

I used a Kenmore for about 3 years during my early beginning stages (and I still have it and use it). I wanted to upgrade to add stitches to my capability and boy did I get them! I decided on the Janome Heart Truth 2008 Limited Edition after much research and thought. I just love this machine. It gives a lot for the money. I had the hang of it before leaving the store, and I was not on a computerized machine before. Anyone can use this with ease. I like the threader, although I was told it is the most common item to break since it is a small-ish plastic piece. My old machine I had to step on the 'gas' and then help it start up with the hand wheel. Not this baby. It is so smooth. I can get triple the work done in the same amount of time I used to spend with my old machine.

<br>The only big negative right now is that I have to use the -/+ buttons to scroll through the stitches and it doesn't wrap around when you get to the end. For instance, if you get to the last stitch, use it and decide to go back to straight stitch number 1, then you have to use the - to get all the way back. Not a deal breaker, but something that Janome will hopefully upgrade on other machines.

<br>I would highly recommend this machine!! It will stay with me for years to come, whether I add a more fancy machine or not, this will be my main workhorse I think, but it does have some pretty stitches, too.
