Finished!
I've finished the two camera pouches that I started
last week. They're quite simple and easy to make and yes, they are quilted the old Janome I've got will at least do straight line quilting. Basic construction is a quilted panel about 17cm wide and 35cm long folded and stitched to make a pouch with flap over the front with velcro fastening. I then lined the pouch and used a wide commercial bias binding around the flap, I rounded off the corners of the flap. While they don't look perfect they should do the job, and I made them all by myself without a pattern :-) -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |

Well done!!
- and don't knock "old Janomes"! Mine is 30 years old and I wouldn't swap it for a brand new electronic. It weighs a ton being all metal, but it has survived 26 moves with me and has even been dropped off the back of one removal truck. I sent it back to the factory and they rang to ask me why the chip was in six pieces? I love my Janome, and even though I am considering a new machine I will not part with this one. Janome dealers have even offered to buy it privately because it is the last metal model made by the company. Those old machines just keep on sewing!!! -- Cheryl http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest cawaites@netconnectDOTcomDOTau "melinda" wrote in message news:1129795636.185603@idlweb...

Mine is Mums old machine, it was made in 1980 or there abouts I don't know what the model number is. It a good work horse although it's not to happy about sewing multiple layers of heavy fabric and it's buttonholes are erratic. I've been thinking about upgrading but finding a machine that will handle what I want to do with it and that I'm happy with may take time. -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |

Mine is a Memory 7 - about 76 I think(?). One of the first "computer"
machines and the last all metal model (not sure on that)Janome made. It was "state of the art" when I bought it and I have certainly got my money's worth from it. It has sewn clothing, blankets, rugs, curtains, furniture covers, quilts, you name it - everything from chiffon to leather!! I have looked at the new machines but would really love to get an old tredle (almost impossible out here where I live). The new machines can do some amazing things but I do not even feel tempted to buy from the top of the range. Those machines that claim to do everything can often be good at most things, and many of those things I may hardly ever use. I would rather buy a machine that was excellent at the things I want to do all the time. I don't need embroidery features. If I want machine embroidery (unlikely) I can send it away to be done on a prefessional machine and be sure of the results. To me the new machines feel "light" and plastic - which, of course, they are. They are meant to be portable. I don't need portable, and if I want to travel with a machine I take my little portable Janome or Husquvarna (both bought reconditioned with warranties, and both mostly metal and "solid"). Everyone looks for features that suit them in their machine. Good luck finding yours - if you choose wisely it will be a faithful workhorse for many years. -- Cheryl http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest cawaites@netconnectDOTcomDOTau "melinda" wrote in message news:1129856407.666460@idlweb...
