Of all the machines I've used over the years, Janome is My Favourite Domestic Sewing Brand By Far - in fact, the only brand I  trust & recommend to everyone.

Unlike many other sewing machine brands - Janome makes ALL of their machines in their  own factories. They don't contract out the manufacturing, and never cut corners just to save a buck.

Still not sure?

Here's what one (of many) happy customers had to say after purchasing their Janome Overlocker:

Not All Sewing Machines Are Made Equal...


Take a peek: an X-Ray view if you will.

As a demonstration - take a look inside a Janome JR1012 (for example) with a see-through exterior.

You can easily see - inside this Janome there is REAL metal (aluminium die-cast to be exact). A die-cast aluminium frame like this provides the strength and stability required for the precise action of the sewing machine needle and mechanism.

The exterior is just that - a shell - and not part of the structure of the machine.

Unfortunately there are other brands of sewing machine on the market in Australia right now that have no internal frame (let alone metal). It means the components are merely attached to the outer plastic shell of the machine. There is simply not enough rigidity for high speed movements! With a Janome, you get proper inner structural support, which means your machine performs better, and it lasts longer.

And your MyLock 654D goes one step further - with a metal base plate for extra weight and stability. Buy Well, Buy Once.

 




We have been fortunate enough to source a few of these excellent machines for Our Customers....




IMPORTANT

Your Machine is Well Protected for Safe Travel.....

So when you open the box, you will find the new Janome MyLock 654D nice and snug inside its own foam cut-out.

I always make sure that my customers keep these foam cut-outs along with the box it came in - just in case you need to move house or put your machine into storage.

Also, in the highly unlikely event where you may need to send the machine back to us for any reason, the machine will need to reach us in all of its original packaging, because we cannot be responsible for any damage incurred in transit.

The best way to ensure safe travel for your machine is to simply KEEP every bit of the packaging and put them back inside the box, then just store the box out of the way. Easy!







What sort of thread does this machine take?
Do I need to buy cones of thread, or can I use my normal spools?

It's up to you.

This machine takes cones or spools, so you can either use your sewing threads, or specialty threads on cones for overlockers.

See how the cone holders can be removed easily off the spool pins, which allows for smaller spools of thread to be used.




The main thing to keep in mind is whether your thread is suitable for the fabric you are using. When in doubt, do a little test on a scrap of the fabric you intend to use.


What is the difference between serging, overlock, flatlock and coverstitch?

In general, if you're from North America, you use a serger, and if you're from the UK, NZ, or Australia, then you use an overlocker. The two terms are interchangeable and both refer to the same type of machine.

"Serging" or "overlocking"  is the act of "sewing" using a serger / overlocker.

Overlocking or Overlock (stitch) refers to a 4 thread serge / overlock stitch.

Flatlock is a technique in which two pieces of fabric are serged / overlocked together and then pulled apart slightly to achieve a flat stitch which connects the two pieces of fabric.

Coverstitch is the stitch that you see on ready to wear garments at hem lines.




Does this model do "coverstitch" as well ?

No. This machine does not have a coverstitch - or coverhem, as it is sometimes called.

It is a standard overlocker that does two, three or four thread overlocking stitch, specifically for finishing edges on knits or woven fabrics.

To do coverstitch, you need to buy an expensive, high-end model, or a separate coverstitch machine.... and, coverstitch machines often don't do overlocking anyway.

Most domestic machine users are happily sewing with an overlocker alongside their regular sewing machine. This will get most of your sewing needs covered.

If and when you find the need to do lots of coverstitching, then consider investing in a separate coverstitch machine - like the Janome CoverPro. Otherwise there is no need for the extra expense.


Do I still need a separate sewing machine ?

Yes. This machine is an overlocker, and it does NOT replace a regular sewing machine.

The main function of the overlocker is to finish the raw edges to stop the fabric unravelling or fraying - so that the finished garment can be worn and washed!

Sure, by overlocking two pieces of fabric together you've essentially joined the pieces and made a seam. But the overlocking does NOT replace a regular straight seam done by a sewing machine.

This is because the sewing machine stitches hold the pieces together properly, while the overlocking stitches take care of the raw edges. Different purposes altogether :-)

Just turn whatever you're wearing inside out and have a look - you'd see a row of straight stitching next to the overlocked edges.




Sounds Good - but why wouldn't I buy directly from Janome?

Great question!

Here's something most people don't know: Janome Australia doesn't deal directly with the public. Neither does Janome USA or Janome UK.

Actually, the authentic Janome website won't let you place orders. You can find all sorts of information there, but you won't find an "Add to Cart" button if you're looking at the real deal.

In case you come across any website with "Janome" in the name that you could buy from - chances are, you've found someone who'd like you to think that you're dealing directly with Janome Australia themselves. Which isn't the case.

Think about it for a second: when someone is prepared to hide the truth about who they really are, what else might they be hiding?


Why should I shop with you over a dealer with a brick-and-mortar shop?

Yes, it is true that we ARE an online store. We do not have a physical shop front.

That means we take online shopping seriously - because this is ALL we do. This is our life's work and we are 100% committed to looking after YOU.

Not having a physical shop front means YOU have our undivided attention.

When you shop with us, there will be no distractions, no other customers to fight over, no waiting in line just to ask a question. It's just you, the products you want, and really detailed descriptions plus heaps of photos (that we take ourselves) to make sure that you know exactly what you are ordering. That's our way of making shopping (and sewing) easier for you!

Instead of worrying about rents, keeping up appearances, and going into price-wars with other dealers, our sole focus is on how we can make your shopping experience with us as enjoyable as possible. Because life is too short for poor service and you deserve the BEST - after all, shopping and sewing should be fun. Right?







I would like to buy more than one. Can you do a better deal?

Absolutely. Group purchases and wholesale enquiries welcome. 

Our clients include small business owners in dressmaking / tailoring or alteration, groups and schools, as well as craft enthusiasts / artisans who sell their creations for additional income.

Email us if you want to purchase more than one, or simply make us an offer..... you might be pleasantly surprised!


Is there a phone number so I could speak to someone?

Sure. We will provide you with a direct contact number as soon as you send us an email.

Shelley and the Sew Much Easier team are always happy to answer any question, technical information, pricing or anything else you wish to know!
