Janome:2206 - Good machine?? Sewing Machine Review
jfdavis83 Advanced Beginner NC USA Member since 7/7/11 Posts: 4	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/7/11 3:59 PM HI All! I have caught the sewing bug! Right now, I am using my mother's OLD Montgomery Ward machine, but I am looking at dealers to get my very own machine. A sewing shop employee recommended the Janome:2206 for me. Anyone out there know about this machine? I want to make sure I do my research before I purchase. Any other machine brands/models that would be good for a beginner, but also a good long term investment? I am interested in making gifts, garments and quilting. (One class at a time!) Thanks for the help! ------ ~ Jenni ~

It cost $149 here ... no sewing case, but it does come with snap on feet. It is mechanical. It has a nice 4 step buttonhole & zig zag, straight stitch & some stretch stetch. There was a recent discussion here on the Magnolia & Sewist 500 if you can afford a bit more money. Those are drop in bobbin. ------ I am a gal from Kalamazoo.... oh what a gal... smile....

I own a 2212 and it does everything I need and I quilt, sew clothes, and mend.
