My Featherweight is very quite and smooth plus it comes in a case and can be taken with you wherever you want to go. HTH

I just bought the Juki f600. It is really to big & heavy to take to classes. It's OK re quitness but not nearly as quite as the Brother NX 600. I understand the NX600 is also made by Juki. I also have the Juki 2000 (straight stitch only), love that machine. Really don't think the F600 is as well made as the 2000.

The Juki f600 is said to be a very quiet sewing machine. I am not sure how portable it would be though.

I'm looking for a quiet and portable sewing machine.
I'd like to take this machine to classes and retreats. Also, needs to be quiet enough for using in the family room. So that I can sew while talking and watching television with my family. I have several vintage machine. I love these machines but they are loud. I hear others comment that their singer221 and 301s are quiet. Mine are not. My only modern machine is Babylock Symphony. It is quieter than my vintage machines. I don't mind purchasing a new machine. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! |
I have a Viking Sapphire and it is not loud at all, and has all the features you need

Mine are all quiet, I just take my hearing aids out when I sew!!!

Dina, I've been sewing on my Singer since 1984 I believe, I got a Janome Silver Gem at an Estate auction and you would have thought I had just discovered the wheel from all the squealing I was doing about how quiet the Janome was. I was having everyone come listen to the comparison of the 2 machines. My dream machine someday is a Janome 6600p

Kris P you have my dream machine! Someday I WILL own one :D

I have a Singer 401 Slant O Matic, Viking Quilt Designer, Bernina 830 and they are all quiet. I put them on a $149 desk from Walmart that sits on carpet and I don't know if that helps make them quiet, but I can turn the TV on normal sound and hear it well as I sew. I think it's the cheap desk on carpet that keeps them quiet, honestly.
