Janome 4120QDC...anyone have this machine?
brckhous Member since 8/24/11 Posts: 12	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/12/12 10:07 AM I'm looking for a new machine and this one seems to have a lot of features I'd like, but for less money than a higher end machine. I was considering a Janome 6600, Horizon 7700, or a Bernina 550, but I've decided to try and keep it under $1,000. I currently work full time and have a 4 y/o and a 2 y/o, so I'm going to wait to invest in a higher end machine until I have more time to dedicate to sewing. Anyway, I can't find as much information about this machine as the other machines I mentioned. Does anyone have this machine? What are your likes and dislikes? And does anyone know the how large the space is to the right of the needle?

I love that. I don't have this machine, but I have the Janome 8050 which is exactly like the Janome 1050, and the display is the same as in the machine you ask about. See if you can get a demo. Also these machines are LIGHT! Stable but light, which is a really handy feature when rearranging machines or taking classes! :) ------ "Be kind whenever possible.

I have been away from sewing for quite a few years and find this machine very easy to use. I really like the ease of stitch selection with the touchpad. I think it has a lot of nice features for the price. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Has anyone used this for any extended period of time? How much is a reasonable amount to pay for such a machine? Sorry for all the questions, I really love all of this machines features but after reading its baby sisters reviews (3160qdc I am scared)

It is my first computerized machine, so it took a little getting used to--does more of the work for me ;-). One of the things I love the most about this machine is the gorgeous buttonholes it makes. It's a one-step buttonholer with the slot for the button in the back of the attachment--perfect every time. There are 3 buttonhole styles--all really pretty. Really the only thing that still bugs me is the way that the machine seems to always take one more stitch after you've let off the pedal--a bit annoying, but I've gotten used to it over time. As far as the price, I bought mine here in Belgium, in Euros, so it cost a good bit more compared to dollars, but so worth it. Good luck! ------ kslaughter
