Review on Sewing machine Janome 419S / 5519, white-blue by Agata Pkala (Kira) ᠌

as a result, it sews poorly thin fabrics and knitwear, skips stitches for several cm lines, poor-quality stitches, often skips stitches in both zigzag and straight stitches on ordinary dense fabrics, especially in knitted stitches. Often tears threads, breaks needles. The hinges on the machine are sloppy. Dense and thick fabrics, denim sews perfectly. Curtains are good too. But thin fabrics and knitwear sometimes sew, sometimes they don’t. I contacted the service - they explained to me that I had to somehow adapt to adjusting the tension of the threads, there was no breakdown. The first 2 years she sewed beautifully. I lubricate and clean regularly, but this does not affect the work. The needle threader, although plastic, served for 8 years. The automatic loop stopped functioning after 4 years of use. Noisy. True, there were no other cars and there is nothing to compare with, I can’t evaluate. Perhaps it is designed for thick and dense fabrics - there are almost no problems with tailoring. Maybe I have a bad copy.
