Outdated Product
The Janome electromechanical sewing machine belongs to the mid-price segment and is a reliable assistant for repairing and sewing clothes at home. It features a horizontal rotary hook, which enhances the ease of use of the device. Its fairly flexible settings allow you to work with any fabrics, whether they are thin, delicate, or thick materials folded in several layers. In total, 18 types of stitches are available, including working, decorative, overlock, and knit stitches. The buttonhole is formed automatically according to the button size. The sewing speed is controlled with a standard foot pedal. Additionally, the Janome My Excel 1221 allows you to adjust the stitch length (up to 4 mm), zigzag width (up to 6.5 mm), presser foot pressure, and upper thread tension to tailor the mechanism...for different materials and tasks. The reverse function helps securely fasten the completed seam. A removable free arm makes sewing narrow and tubular elements like cuffs, sleeves, and pant legs easier. For user convenience, the sewing machine is equipped with a threader, thread cutter, and a compartment for waste or storing accessories. The model's package includes needles, bobbins, tools for machine maintenance, a hard cover for storage, and various presser feet (universal, overlock, for blind stitch, for sewing zippers, and more).

Pros

Cons

good model, like it

The car is good, I don’t regret it.
A good machine that sews both denim and chiffon. Very clear, figured it out in five minutes. But before that, of course, we watched the video review on YouTube. Optimal for its price. Took 01/15/13. for 8 thousand
The threader is a little inconvenient, but I think this is due to inexperience. And for me it’s a quiet move, but it’s not for everyone.

I bought this model back in 2004. I thought that they no longer produce this model. I'm happy with the machine, no complaints.
Comfortable, quiet, everything you need is included in the kit
