    Good Points: Easy to use, lots of stitches, much quieter than my old machine, and I like that you can adjust the speed (I slow it down for bobbins and difficult areas so I don't accidentally go too fast).


    Bad Points: buttonholes were a bit hard to figure out (even with the manual because I'm used to them starting from the back instead of the front), and I dislike the way it occasionally stitches one or two stitches after you take your foot off the pedal. I also wish it had two thread holders like my old machine.


    General comments: The Janome 8080 is a great machine. The only thing that's not covered in the manual is that it says "SP" in the window when the bobbin winder is activated (and that the buttonholes move backwards instead of forward from the start). I got it on clearance with only one foot, and the feet are expensive (I've spent $50 on feet just to get a buttonhole, and darning foot, and it's another $50 for the walking foot, all of which were supposed to come with the machine).

    Very easy to use, feels 'comfortable'. The Janome 8080 sewing machine is a dependable gem.

    I have two 8080's and the Janome Quilting Companion. I use one of the 8080 for traveling. The Quilting Companion was a very expensive machine, but the 8080 sews better and I tend to use it more. The free motion quilting is more even and works better. A great machine for the money!

    I really love sewing with this Janome 8080 machine. It is very easy to use and the stitchng is so smooth and amazingly quiet. The quality of the stitches are really great. Some of the feet included are the walking foot, overcast foot and the zig-zag foot(more included). I got this machine on sale at Sears for only $299.99 so I am very satisfied. There is a Decor 3060(I think thats the model) machine from Janome that sells at retailers for $499.99 with the exact same stitches and features. Why pa ...
