Janome 6500 and 300e
 

Who has what? Why do you like it? Why not? Did you trade something
in, and what made you trade it? Thanks!

I have the baby sister Janome 4800QC and love it. A friend at guild has the
6500 and raves about it. I love the buttonhole stitch , no other machine
has as fine of a stitch, I love needle down, it has a blandet stitch also,
and pressure adjustment on the foot.
I replaced an ancient New Home 6000, I would never trade her in! She still
sews beautifully.

I have the Kenmore brand of the Janome 5700 and love it. It does allot of
stitches, and the embroidery also. Although with the embroidery, when I
make my own designs, it doesn't fill in as good as the files I get free from
online. I originally wanted the Viking Rose, (more for the name) but
couldn't afford it, and the Kenmore was about $800 less than the Rose, so it
satisfied me.
I have heard allot of raving about the Janome's, and if I do need to get a
new machine, it will be a Janome.

I have the Janome 6500. I didn't trade anything to get it. I like because
of the large work area to the right of the needle, the automatic thread
cutter, good tension, knee lift, adjustable pressure. In fact, there's
nothing about it I don't like.

Well, good to hear what people have to say. Just saw one the other
day when I went to pick up long bobbins for my treadle at the dealers.
I have a Janome 8000 which I like/don't, and am thinking about what I
don't like about my 8000. One is the weight. Another is the fact it
starts the machine needle to the far left. What I am going to do
today is really test drive the 6500 a lot, and maybe the 300e just to
see about an embroidery machine. I am bringing some stuff, too. My
8000 is going to be traded in most likely for the 6500. All my
machines are metal and heavy - a treadle, featherweight (not heavy but
solid feeling), 99 and old Viking . . . The question of a free-arm
comes up with some people, but I have 2 free arm machines already, so
I don't think that will be a problem . . . I'll let you know what I
think. I am a sew-er rather than an embroiderer. This may be it.

Last September I bought a Janome 6250QC (Quilter's Companion). While I was
pleased with most things on the machine, some of the stitches were limited
on the number of widths/lengths. So in January I traded up to a Janome 6500
Professional, and I am delighted with it for what I want to do. One
unexpected advantage is that the motor seems to be stronger than the other
machine, so it will probably hold up longer.

I purchased a Janome at my LQS, rather than another brand somewhere else,
because they treated me better. (They were not "pushy" and appeared
genuinely happy to see me.) I wanted a good relationship wherever I
purchased the machine. At my LQS they still act pleased to see me everytime
I go in there to ask questions or browse, even though they know I'm not
buying one again very soon.

Well, I took my 8000 and some peripherals I had to go with it - and
when all was said and done, I decided I would buy the machine. I got
a good price for the trade-in, and a good price on the 6500 - even
better as it was the floor sample and had about an hour usage on it (3
when I was done). My sewing machine store is great! They have been
in business over 40 years and have a great reputation and wonderful
service. I am looking forward to having this machine for awhile! Now
to finish up a quilt on it!

Congratulations! I was at a sewing show today and saw that machine
demonstrated. It really looked great. I have an old New Home - made by
Janome way back when - and it's been a very reliable machine. I hope
yours holds up as well.
