I am sooo glad I bought this machine.. it's really quite easy to use.. within 1/2 hour of unpacking it, I was sewing away! Easy to thread, easy to use, the knee lifter for the presser foot and the auto thread cut are great. Very easy to change the feet, even while you are 'mid stitch'. Everything you would ever need is included. The extension table is a great plus especially since I am a quilter. I previously owned a Janome and wanted to stick with them and this model was a great choice! I highly recommend this machine! The only complaint I would have is the absence of a hard carrying case, ()although it does come with a soft cover.

I bought my Janome Memory Craft 6500P over a year ago now. It had been used on a near daily basis for a couple years in a professional alterations shop, but the machine appeared to be in good condition, so I bought it even though I knew it had some miles on it. I have since moved across the county and opened my own alterations business, and this machine is my workhorse. I had never used a Janome machine before and wasn't terribly familiar with the brand, but now sewing of my other home machines is an exercise in frustration! This machine is sturdy, powerful, reliable and intuitive. Its enormous work space makes even the big jobs manageable, and thanks to its extensive sewing features and all the handy accessories it comes with, I've been able to sew everything from leather to chiffon on the same machine. Maintenance is simple, and any repairs I've had to make (for all the abuse I put this thing through!) have been very minor. My shop is open 40 hours a week, which means this machine is running for at least 8 hours every week day. Here's to seven months in business, and the most I've had to do is change a lightbulb!

I bought this machine for my wife's birthday. She is a quilter and was thrilled with the quality of this product. She has had several higher end sewing machines over the years but tells me this far and away the best she has ever owned! She says the features are outstanding and ease of use amaze her each time she works on her quilts!!
