The Sewist 500 is great machine and easy to use. It is a good machine for a beginner or a seasoned sewer. I have a computerized machine but wanted a mechanical one for simple sewing tasks. This machine is perfect. It has just enough features and options to complete most sewing projects. I love the drop in bobbin which are sometimes not on the mechanical machines. It is slightly lighter than some of the more expensive Janome machines but is still very sturdy. It does not vibrate or move when sewing like some of the lighter weight machines. My granddaugher who is nine and learning to sew fully understands how to operate this machine. I am very pleased with my purchase of this machine and would recommend it.

I purchased this machine to use in a sewing class I teach with inexperienced sewers, one of which is a 7 year old. This machine is easy to use and is a great choice for this type of sewer. It offers a one step buttonhole and a top load bobbin, two features that make sewing a breeze. Strictly mechanical, so no computer to deal with. It is Janome quality through and through and I would highly recommend this machine to any sewer, whether seasoned or beginning. Easy to thread and just enough stitches to have a little fun as well. Great machine, would buy again. This is a solid machine.
My sewing machine arrived 4 day earlier than expected, it appears to be brand new, it appears to be everything that I expected. Im very pleased thus far!!!! TBA.
