Product Information

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. With a Heavy Duty Aluminum Body, 19 Built-In Sewing Stitches, An Automatic Needle Threader, Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure, an Included Hard Case and Much More you will wonder what this machine can’t do. Normally I like to let the machine feed the fabric but with heavy fabric with lots of fabric in layers and hanging off the front of the machine you will want to give it a little assist so this doesn't happen.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Standard straight stich and zig-zag covers about 90% of my work and three or so others for the rest. It all comes with a snap-on presser feet, needle threader, and balance adjusting and one-hand thread cutting features. It has a limited number of stitches (18) and some folks wish there were more, although stitch quality is said to be very good.All my other machines in the last 20 years have been mostly if not all plastic and they lose their stitch setting or the bobbin area gets off track and I lose everything I was working on and have to sit for hours trying to fix the machine or take out the messed up stitching. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. The HD-3000 is a heavy duty machine, perfect for a beginner or sewist looking to do a wide range of sewing.

This is probably an issue with any machine, but seeing this is a heavy duty machine and you are likely purchasing it to handle this kind of thing it is something to be aware of.It's quicker and easier to thread by hand and this is from someone loosing my near vision from age and having very shaky hands. Stitch length and width adjustment are conveniently located on the front of the machine, and a hardcover comes standard for easy storage. But after making new cushions for my patio furniture, 3 pair of lounge pants, altering 2 pair of dress pants, making a formal prom dress, and now on my 4th set of spandex body suits. Even if you thread it properly, the thread can pop out of the slot, but this generally only happens with very stiff inflexible threads.

I chose the HD3000 for being a heavy duty and basic economical machine, and also the 7 feed dog feature.I have other machines that are "fancier," but I wanted one that could use thick thread and sew chunky items without risking the computer boards in my big girls. stitches and a one-step buttonhole provide the foundation for your creative sewing projects and the seven-piece feed dog feeds fabric smoothly while maintaining a taut surface. I took it in and the technician oiled it and sent me on my way but the same thing happened immediately.

The final decision to make me choose the HD-3000 over the HD-1000 was the stitch width, then I saw them in Black and it was a no brainier for me. You will also get a pack of needles, bobbins, a lint brush, spool pin felt, a quilting bar, a seam ripper, both large and small screwdrivers, both large and small spool holders, and an additional spool pin. Bonus Quilt Kit Includes: 1/4″ Seam foot, Open toe even feed foot with guide, Open toe satin stitch foot, Open toe darning foot, Quilting guide.The HD3000 is another popular Janome machine and it is very similar to the HD5000, but there are a few differences.
