Janome 1600P-DB
#21
I just sold my 1001 and bought a new embordery machine, 350 E and I love that one, it just emborderies, and I have a 6600 and that is my regular machine , If you want a comercial sewing machine then the 1600P would be your best bet for you ., I am wonder ing what thread that your friend is useing? that could cause a lot of breakage, she should go to another Janome dealer and havethem check her machine out too. The stre here where I live is super about their customer complaints, and check them out thouroughly.
GO to www.janome.com I am buying one!!!!!!

I have a MC 9000 but would like to upgrade. As far as lokks goes I liked it for the slim sillouette, the large work area and the fact that it claims to be heavy-duty! Tell me what you know, please!

I have the 1600 P-QC. I can't tell you how GREAT SUPER FANTASTIC it is! it will sew ANYTHING! If it will fit under the foot lifted all the way up, it will sew it! The QC is what I bought because it WILL NOT let you sew if the foot is not down. we all get in a hurry and forget this sometimes, so it is my favorite feature. that and it is super duper fast. i had to switch to ball point needles for FMQ but anything for piecing.

Hi Billsgirl,
I was reading through this thread because I'm looking at the same machine to use for piecing and to have for the heavy duty work it can do. I'm wondering if you bought it and if so how do you like it?

I piece on it all the time! I don't even use any other machines (Ihave several) except my the embroidery part of my 9500.
I love it because it is fast and easy to use for piecing and quilting. I do both in the ditch and free motion.

Thank you for your reply.
I am looking at this machine or a Brother PQ1500S. I recently purchased a Pfaff Creative 4.0 that I enjoy using for sewing and embroidery. I'm thinking about getting a separate machine for quilting. But since I have so much invested in the Pfaff, I am looking for a good used machine not too much money.
So far, all of the reviews for this machine have been good. The only thing is the feed dogs don't drop - I can live without the thread cutter.
Of course my husband will kill me getting another machine, but at least I'll die happy.

I have a Janome 1600-P and use it on a machine frame. It has a thread cutter, threader, needle down position, drop feed dogs, straight stitch, etc. I have never had a problem with this sewing machine and have been really pleased with it.

I did purchase the Janome and really love. I made sure a read up on it and was prepared for the sideways needle, the thread path and the recessed bobbin case. It sews beautifully.
I have the DB model which doesn't come with the thread cutter, but that's fine. I'm new to quilting and have only done piecing so far.
I've been looking around for where I can buy needles. Can you recommend a website? The ones the seller sent with the machine have a flat side and I thought the needles this machine uses are supposed to be round at the top?
