Which is best? Will it sew thick fabric?

Review by Jenny P

So far I am delighted with my machine. Not progressed from straight stitches and it's thirty years since I've sewn, but so far very pleased.

Purchased this after reading the reviews and also based on experience with my other Janome products. I chose this retailer due to the offer of a free extension table. Delivery was very quick and I was delighted. The TXL607 is everything I could have hoped for, it is easy to understand and operate. All options are simply a few button presses away and shown on the bright and clear LCD along with the required foot and suggested stitch length and width which are also set automatically. The stitch quality is excellent, with only the most dense of the embroidery causing very light fabrics to slightly pucker-heavier fabrics are fine. I like being able to operate it without the foot pedal and the fabric dogs are smooth and precise. The machine sounds very smooth in operation. I highly recommend this machine.

Really pleased with this sewing machine. It's been a long time since I set foot behind one so was a little apprehensive but getting going was a doddle and the machine is doing everything I want it to. The machine feels sturdy and doesn't judder around the table. Simple instructions and guides or as I did - just plug in a go...its a breeze!

Very pleased with the Talent 3321, only had it a week and already made a pair of curtains and a throw. it's very straight forward to use, and very smooth compared to my old machine.

great sewing machine, so easy to use..I sew a lot of thick fabrics and this machine glides through them. The auto tension is a added bonus to and as I am always changing the fabrics I use. Very impressed! :) The delivery was also very fast and can't fault the company one bit :)

I purchased this machine a couple of weeks ago so have had time to play and experiment with it,firstly I must say the service and price was just outstanding!! you could not ask for more. It came with far more than I expected ie: accessories etc,. I first tried it out on heavy duty fabrics,ie: denim etc and 'FANTASTIC" TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!, However tried it out on lighter fabrics and it did struggle and miss stitches. I was not going to give up on this machine and invested in multiple needles and "BINGO" this machine can do the lot!!! for example,if you want to sew something thin and stretchy buy some 'super stretch' needles, great for viscose/elastane/lycra/wool etc...the finer the fabric the lower number needle you require, trust me ladies/gents!! its all in the needles!! the heavier the fabric/the higher number needle!!. this machine is amazing trust me, despite its lightness and so called flimsyness from other reviews of this machine its a definite bargain!! use it correctly and TRUST ME!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BABY!!!,JUST BUY IT !! IT IS FANTASTIC!! JMxx

I really enjoy using this machine. I went on a basic beginners course and these were the machines used and so felt comfortable to buy one knowing I would be able to do the basics but could learn a little more (like the auto needle threading, button holes, different stitches). I think a good starter machine

absolutely beautiful machine - whisper quiet (compared to my old machine ) easily controlled the top loading bobbin took a couple of tries to get it right, but very clear instructions this was just a case of re-training my way of doing things once I'd got the concept it's fabulous no more struggling bent half over, in my own light trying to get a little bobbin into an equally small space over-all happily recommend my sewing pile has diminished and new projects are at long last getting done :)

I am very impressed with this machine for the money. I was a bit dubious about purchasing a newer name, but no regrets so far.

Review by No Nickname

Very please so far. Having not used a sewing machine for years I was still able to get up and running with this very quickly. I've used it to make some blinds and curtains with great results. Haven't used any of the fancier stitches yet but don't anticipate any problems. The machine is very light but feels quite sturdy and sews well. My only slight quibble is that the toolbox doesn't open whilst attached to the machine so you have to be careful when sliding it off so everything doesn't fall out, but this is a very minor inconvenience.
