Janome Sewist 500 Sewing Machine
The Janome Sewist 500 sewing machine is one of the most popular Janome machines available for a low price point. Beginners and experienced sewers alike are often familiar with this brand's reputation for precision sewing and smooth, even stitches but don't want to shell out $500 or more for the higher-end machines.
This model costs far less, is solidly built, stays in place while you sew, but is still light enough to be taken to classes, groups, or with you on vacation. It also runs quietly, allowing you to run the machine in the same room as the rest of your family without disturbing their activities or conversation.
Janome Sewist 500 Stitch Patterns
There are 25 built-in stitches in this machine including utility, stretch, and decorative stitches plus the 1-step buttonhole. Stitch length is adjustable up to 4mm and stitch width is adjustable up to 5mm. Thread tension is manually controlled by use of a dial on the machine.
Janome Sewist 500 Presser Feet
The job of the presser foot is to apply pressure to your fabric so that the feed dogs underneath have sufficient contact to move the fabric along as you sew. Presser feet can also help automate certain sewing stitches that may be done manually but look more polished and finished with the use of the special feet.
The Janome Sewist 500 comes with six, snap-on presser feet:
General Purpose (called the Zigzag foot on this machine)
Overedge for finishing hem edges
Zipper foot for attaching zippers
Blind Hemming for invisible hems
Buttonhole foot for creating buttonholes automatically
Janome Sewist Sewing Machine Features
There are two critical features on this sewing machine that more experienced sewers like to have on their machines. Those are adjustable presser foot pressure and a drop feed dog lever.
Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure - Most presser feet have three height settings: down, up and an extra up to accommodate thick fabrics. Try as you might, the feet aren't going to push harder on sheer fabrics or lighten up on thicker fabrics other than those three settings and that can mess with the evenness of your stitches. If the machine has adjustable presser foot pressure, however, you can moderate the pressure for a more accurate feed of different fabric types.
Drop Feed Dog Lever - The feed dogs push fabric forward or backward during sewing, however, some types of sewing require the fabric to moved in other directions, such as may be needed with free motion quilting and embroidery. Machines that allow you to lower the feed dogs make these types of craft sewing possible on home sewing machine.
Other features include an automatic needle threader, jam proof bobbin system, see through bobbin cover, reverse lever, built in carry handle, free-arm sewing functionality, 5 needle positions, a work light and a maximum sewing speed of 860 stitches per minute.
The Janome Sewist 500 also comes with an assortment of sewing machine accessories like extra needles and bobbins, a screwdriver, lint brush, seam ripper, quilting guide and spool caps - all of which store neatly in the extension arm.
Generally, people don't sew because they HAVE to - they sew because they WANT to and a precision machine like the Janome Sewist 500 can help turn out nicely finished projects that you'll be proud to share.
