Hi I want to buy an overlocker. There are so many on the market it is
very hard to choose. I have been looking at a Jamone 744d does any one
have any experiances that they tell me. I have looked at ebay but have
found a local stockist.
Many thanks and eager to sew

I don't know that particular model. I can tell you, however, that you
might want a local dealer so that you get some basic lessons in both
threading and operation, and in basic troubleshooting. It's just different
enough from a sewing machine that it can be a slightly rough transition
between the two machines. While it's possible to teach yourself, it's
easier with an experienced person standing by to help.

I love Janomie! I have a Janomie sewing machine and overlocker. I have a
costume hire business (make all the costumes). Work for 2 dance studio's and
dressmake.
I would be lost without these machines! The overlocker never plays up and I
have sewn heavy vinyl, foam, lycra.....all sorts of stuff. I also won a
state of the art Viking overlocker and loath it (although Kate swears by
them). It is gathering dust (I'll trade it in one of these days!) I found it
a temperamental and arrogant machine, whereas the Janomie has proven an
exceptional work horse...........Amelia

There is a sewing machine (and serger) FAQ's list that Penny S. often posts.
You can look it up on the archives - or make your own choice. The reason
that there are so many different brands and models out there is because we
are all individuals with different styles and needs ourselves. (What works
best for me might be the bane of your sewing existence!) Go into a sewing
centre and try their machines, try the machines of friends and see what you
like and don't like about them. Look on Epinions.com and see what complete
strangers have to say....
Remember though, if you buy locally you have a source of help, spare parts,
and 'silly question' references that you might not get otherwise.
