com, Simply Knitting and The World of Cross Stitching and was previously Deputy Editor of Papercraft inspirations magazine. I would like thank you and your team for your recommendations of the Juki MO 654de overlocker which I picked up today. Steve is so trustworthy – he always gives good advice, even if that advice means going somewhere else!

This is a fantastic entry level robust machine with a good selection of popular stitches and features. Specialist skills include hand modelling for YouTube craft tutorials and fabric foraging (she has an inbuilt radar for local haberdasheries and community craft gatherings).The 4 step button hole took a couple of goes for me to master, mainly due to stitch tension, but the manual and step by step instructions made it a very simple process. The automatic 4-step buttonhole is easy to use and there’s plenty of accessory storage and a soft cover for protection. This is a robust machine that will last you for years – Janome machines are widely loved for their trustworthiness. This machine will offer you a good, solid range of functions to support your dressmaking, quilting or home sewing.

Likewise it's a useful option if you often take your machine to the homes of friend and family to sew with.

The 219-S has a front loading bobbin which is quick to load, auto-stop bobbin winding, retractable spool pins that recess for storage and soft cover to protect the machine from dust and dirt.It has enough stitch options to offer you a range of initial uses, from inserting button holes to sewing blind hems, machine appliqué and quilting, but with a very simple-to-use design and a pared down range of functions that won't overwhelm. We also tried some basic smocking on the girl’s dress and this was easy peasy and only took a few minutes using the manual to walk me through which stitches and feet to use.

This makes it a good choice if you don't have a dedicated sewing area in your home but find yourself often putting away and then setting up your machine, for example at a dining table. I also tried out the blind hem stitch to take up a pair of jeans – it was really straightforward to switch the presser foot and the stitch was easy to use.I want to say a big ‘thank you’ to you for sorting my sewing machine, I just love my Pfaff, it suits me for what I want to do. His friendliness, honesty and pursuit of business excellence is something that is reflected in his equally dedicated staff team. I am really pleased with it and have no criticisms to make apart from the foot pedal is so light it wanders about a bit, but that is a very minor thing. The 219s is lightweight with a front-loading bobbin case and a convertible free arm for circular sewing.

You can change the stitch type, thread tension and stitch length quickly using the dials at the front, and it has a reverse stitch lever at the front too that you just press to switch the direction of your stitching (useful for securing your stitching). Featuring 14 stitches, 4 step buttonhole, variable stitch length and a number of included accessories, this machine is a great introduction to dressmaking, alterations and other simple sewing tasks. Threading is no longer a dreaded chore because the easy to follow numbered thread path gets you down to the needle where it threads front to rear, get the job done in seconds. We are a family run firm with over 60 years of experience and having supplied and serviced sewing machines to the public, schools, colleges, TV, film sets and even the Royal household since 1951 you can feel assured we can help with everything from machine selection to advice on accessories and threads.

The only thing that tripped us up a bit was that we you just have to remember to pull out the hand wheel to move the machine into bobbin winding mode (and push it back in after). I have recommended Sewing Machine World to many friends, who have also been totally satisfied and I will continue to do so. They mention that it's suitable for light sewing jobs, it performs much the same functions, and is a brilliant machine. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to carry it to my friend's house for a sewing night.
