This little sewing machine is appropriately named--a true gem. It lives up to the Janome name as a tough and reliable machine that offers basic features for most common sewing needs. It does not have a lot of fancy stitches but enough for the average sewing person. I have been using it for only a few days now, but have put it through enough paces to know that I will continue to enjoy using it, especially because of its small footprint and light weight. I have been repurposing a heavy freezer bag as a carrying case for this machine, and it sews through the layers with a great deal of ease. I have a full-size Janome that I use for really tough jobs, like jeans and drapes, but this will be my go-to machine for everyday use. It is an exceptional buy for beginners who want any easy to use mechanical sewing machine. (I have a computerized Brother machine but doubt if it is as sturdy or that it will last as long as this baby!).I recommend it very highly.Read full review

The Janome Gold is a lightweight portable machine that is very easy to carry to quilt classes. This a simple machine with limited stitches, but provides everything you need for quilting or crafts. The auto threader is great as is the clear window to see the bobbin. I also purchased a "walking" foot and a 1/4" foot that are perfect for quilting. This model was highly recommended to me by quilters in my group and I am very pleased with its performance. Excellent value!
Exactly as described, and exactly what I wanted. It works very well, replacing another old Janome that was almost worn out. I do a lot of sewing on heavy fabrics, and despite it's light weight, this machine does a fantastic job.

the machine is light weight which is just what I needed, the machine sews great. the only part I don't like is that it dose not have a handle.

Exactly what I needed to take to quilting class, rather than hauling my heavy Viking machine. I read lots of reviews before purchasing, this is truly a great compact machine. It’s relatively quiet, simple by that I mean user friendly and sews great. I like this machine so much I purchased another one to give to my 8 year old granddaughter.
