What ivelimi likes about this machine
This machine feels sturdier than my Brother HS 2000, its work space is very generous, I like that it has a needle threader, start/ stop button, up/down needle button, autolock stitch button, and more than 500 stitches, including 3 styles of letters (alphabets), decorative, quilt, heirloom , and utility stitches, it also has adjustable foot pressure dial, it feels solid and I dont feel as limited as on my other basic machine.

GinevraV 8/17/09Thanks for posting this review. I've been looking at the 19606 and the 115606 on eBay - the descriptions on each don't quite match up (5 kinds of buttonholes vs 7, 606 vs. 501 built-in stitches, etc.). There's $60 difference in price and free shipping on the 115606. Confusing!

Mary heckman 10/6/09I just purchased a refurbished Janome 115606 or Kenmoe 19606 over e-bay. I am hoping I did not make a big mistake. The machine looks good and has good reviews. But I see the seller "Sew and Clean", or Ken did not recieve good reviews from PR. That has me concerned. Since this is my second attempt at purchasing a new machine, the first was purchase on HSN and was suppose to be top of the line Singer turned out to be a lemon and was sent back. Now I am wondering if I made another mistake. Any one out there that has purchased over e-bay from Ken and had good or bad luck? Hopefully GOOD!

Lil Flo 10/20/09Mary heckman, I haven't purchased anything from Sew and Clean, but was looking on ebay and saw a nice machine listed by Sew and Clean. His feedback is very good. It is 99.8. That's pretty good considering the high volume sales he does. Also, just remember, no matter how hard you try, you just can't please everyone all the time. There is always that one person that no matter how hard you try, just can't be pleased. Just a thought!
