JANOME 4120qdc
I am looking at the JAMONE 4120 QDC. Does anyone have this machine that will tell me how they like or dislike it? I would like some feedback as to whether this would be a good purchase. Thank You.

Don't know about the machine, but love your signature line.

Found these reviews, but have no idea of their reliability:
http://sewing.patternreview.com/Sewi...ns/topic/67026 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loojP4epB4o http://content.janome.com/fusetalk/f...&threadid=4972 http://www.sewinginsight.com/janome/...20-qdc-review/ This might be the best source: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...p-t190906.html What I notice from the photos and a brief glance at the reviews is that the harp size seems quite small. I think this would be a good, lightweight machine for taking to classes and for piecing. Just not sure it would work that well for actual quilting because of the small harp size. |
Thank you so much for the help Prism99. I went through all the sites and got lots of info - a lot of pros and a few cons. I had a Phaff for 30 years and it finally gave out. I now have a Janome 3160 and I like it, but did have a lot of problems with it in the beginning - thank goodness I got the maintenance agreement at time of purchase. The bobbin case gave 3160 owners some problems and Janome has since fixed the problem.
Thank you again. I appreciate your help. Thank you Misty's Mom for your comment on my signature line. |
I have the 4120, and love it. I quilt by doing stitch in ditch or diagonal lines, starting to learn free motion. I have an old Viking, that I also like, but this machine sews beautifully. I've only been quilting for 3 years, so don't have a whole lot of experience. There is one issue, and that is when you use the 1/4 foot the factory setting at 3.5 is too wide, so you have to set it at 4.5. I was told this when I took the training class. But have recently learned that they have made a new 1/4 foot that allows you to use the factory setting. I just haven't bought it yet. Oh, and I'm from Glendale and Flagstaff.:)

I so appreciate your input and will go back to see the machine again. May your day be blessed beyond measure Char |
