Overview
Janome's JW8100 is a computerized sewing machine with a backlit LCD for choosing stitches, a built in needle threader and an auto declutch bobbin winder. Buttons beside the needle handle start and stop, reverse, locking stitch and needle up or down.
The bundle is the reason to buy: an extra wide extension table for quilts, a hard cover, an even feed foot and a quarter inch foot arrive with the machine. The limit is scope, since it only sews and lists no embroidery.
Who it's for
Starting DIY sewists, and experienced users with everyday projects, will find the screen, the start button and the bonus feet useful. Those who need embroidery or a production machine should choose differently.
Pros and cons
- Backlit LCD stitch selection
- Built in needle threader
- Extension table included
- Hard cover included
- Embroidery not available
- Top sewing speed not listed
- Corded power only
Performance notes
The even feed foot helps move heavy layers and match patterns, and the quarter inch foot guides quilt piecing. The start stop button allows sewing without the foot control, and the locking stitch button finishes seams. Stitch width and length ranges set the limit for decorative and utility work.
