After a lot of swearing I got the main stitching done, but am having horrible problems with the twin needle - any advice please?Felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859474975311501306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807129799431694805.post-22228565569795010492011-04-02T23:03:22.131+01:002011-04-02T23:03:22.131+01:00Well I have my Janome 5018, and really pleased wit...Well I have my Janome 5018, and really pleased with it.

At my school it easily handles denim, and roman blinds. It's a great all round machine, designed by janome to make home soft furnishings.<br /><br />lolThe Thrifty Stitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473770988771820892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807129799431694805.post-42258451941190367512011-02-18T07:42:47.182+00:002011-02-18T07:42:47.182+00:00Your blog is fantastic.

I am seeking a beginners machine and strangely enough, I had been looking at one of the entry level ones,you mentioned but am really liking the sound of the Janome 5018.<br /><br />Am just wondering whether it would be robust enough to handle curtain material and denim. I would like to make myself a denim skirt and a few denim bags in the future. Have you ever used the machine for denim?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-807129799431694805.post-41065325864252817652011-01-21T13:17:53.380+00:002011-01-21T13:17:53.380+00:00Interesting and well-researched.
