Thank you, Amazon reviewers!
I was looking for a good, basic sewing machine for doing the odd repair on garments or household items. I didn't foresee doing embroidery or anything complicated. Inexpensive machines that I saw in stores were just plain cheap: lightweight, badly made, with obtuse instruction manuals and flimsy accessories. Similar models online got indifferent or negative reviews. I decided to spend a little bit more than I'd originally planned and see what else was available. Zeroed in on this machine because it had nothing less than a 4-star review. I'm very happy with my purchase! The machine is everything that reviewers said it would be: sturdy, lightweight, a real little workhorse. This was my first experience with a top-loading bobbin, and it's been no trouble at all. Setup was easy and the directions were clear. From the first repair (mending an open seam on a pair of pants), this machine has met my expectations. Time will tell about reliability, but if other reviewers are correct I can expect years of use.

Versatile and easy to use
Got it for my son. His review: "A novice sewer, I've only ever used one other sewing machine, a Brother, while doing everything else by hand. Forget that! I've had the Jem Gold (omg I love the name) sewing machine for about a month and made a couple of projects and done a few exercises with it. So far, no problems at all. PROS ++The light above the needle is super helpful. +Winding bobbins, easy peasy, automatically stops when full. +Little needle threader is also super hepful! +(?)Must say I don't actually understand what is happening when I catch the bobbin thread with my needle thread before sewing, but I do manage to do it every time, so it must be a pretty good design. ++The foot lifts up perty darn high, which has come in handy: sewing straps onto a bag after the fact, I thought I had to do it by hand--got frustrated, tired, and bored, thought, "well damn I'll just do this last one on the machine"--and it was not hard at all to fit a layer of satin and two(/three?) layers of burlap--all kind of awkwardly semi-folded--under the foot and needle! I ripped the other three seams out and redid them on the machine! ++Pedal is nice, I can go as slow as I want. Or fast as lightnin! CONS --There is nothing that *prevents* you from sewing with the foot raised, as there was on the Brother I used, but there's also nothing that *prevents* you from hitting your head on a low ceiling--you just get used to it. NEUTRALS ~~I have not used anything other than the straight stitches yet, so I can't speak to the Janome's zigzag or buttonhole capabilities or anything like that. Yet. Love it, buy it! Accomplished seamstress I got a few tips from also said it was her favorite machine by far, and she didn't know I had one when she said that. So, I trust that as well."

i love it
I already had one of these, but wanted another for our vacation home. My old one is tried and true, plus lightweight.

Greatest Sewing Machines on the Market.
Purchased for a friend per my recommendation and she doesn't have an Amazon account. She loves it! Great new sewer machine. I have purchased 8 Janome sewing machines in the past 10 years... for myself and as gifts. They are EXTREMELY well made and are real workhorse machines. I use two Pro models in my small home business and they ALWAYS perform and require very little maintenance. I do not recommend the Gem series for heavy duty sewing... but for quilting and dressmaking ... they can't be beat! Buy 10 Janomes instead of one Bernina or Viking and you will be happier and have less issues!!!!

I read that some thought it was noisy but I find it sounds like all mechanical sewing machines
I have been using this only for about three weeks but so far it has preformed very well. I have 50+ yrs. sewing & this machine does just what it was designed to do. I read that some thought it was noisy but I find it sounds like all mechanical sewing machines. I bought this for my RV but will use it at home as well even though I have a more expensive phaff. My only complaint is it doesn't have a built in carrying handle which is no biggy.

Three Stars
Seemed like pretty standard equipment to go with a machine. Do like the vibration pad.
