Review on Sewing machine Janome SE 522/Sewist 525 S, white/grey by Stanislaw Mlekodaj ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I chose a sewing machine for a long time, carefully reading the comments on the models and thinking about what I would sew on it. My choice fell on JANOME SE 522 because of its technical capabilities and equipment. Let's start with the second. The standard set for this sewing machine includes a large number of feet (for automatic buttonhole, sewing on buttons, blind stitch, overlock stitch, sewing in a zipper) Accessories are also not scarce: a quilting guide, several bobbins, an additional spool pin (if you suddenly need to sew double needle), ripper, brush, screwdriver, felt pad, two spool holders (small and large), as well as a small set of needles. Since this model has a horizontal hook, lubrication is not required. Therefore, there is no oiler in the set. On this sewing machine, I sewed a T-shirt, T-shirt, jacket, vest and trousers. I had no problems (attention, it is very important to choose a needle that matches the fabric. Do not sew everything with a universal needle). The necessary set of lines (especially overlock and closed overlock are very necessary) will come in handy, and a few decorative ones will add variety to the work. Although, of course, it all depends on your imagination, because tailoring resembles a constructor with the slogan "Assemble it yourself." I can advise this model to those who do not have money for expensive (and not always fancy) models. Excellent build quality and increased power is a very big plus. The machine weighs eight kilograms, it does not jump on the table, it is comfortable behind it, and most importantly, it is very pleasant to work. Part of the desktop is removed, exposing the sleeve platform, on which it is very convenient to sew cuffs and make armholes. Behind the free arm is a feed dog on/off switch switch. A big plus is the needle threader that is built into this machine. For this model, I advise you to immediately buy a bobbin and a set of needles for knitwear.

Pros
  • Sleeve platform A large number of paws Possibility of twin needle sewing Horizontal shuttle (no tangles and no need to lubricate) Horizontal spool of thread overlock and closed overlock stitches Increased machine power Price Good, reliable manufacturer Excellent build quality Presser foot pressure adjustment Needle threader Arrows are drawn on the typewriter for the threading order
Cons
  • Missing double needle Inconvenient location of the switch for connecting / disconnecting the fabric conveyor
