Hello! I am planning to buy a sewing machine Janome DC 6030 like the one here
However, I cannot find any reviews from real users for this machine. So if there is anyone who has experience using the machine, could you please share and give your opinion.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Natalie. I know it may be a little late since I only just found this. I am also looking into this machine as well as a Brother and a Bernina sewing machine. I was fortunate to have a short test drive on the machine. The stitches were good, it is a nice lighter weight machine. Nice lighting and easy to use. I love the direct stitch selection and the auto thread cutter button. The only thing it doesn’t have is a knee lifter, the price does not include a walking foot, quilting foot for free motion sewing work and I don’t think it comes with an open toe foot.
For these reasons I am looking into a Brother Innovis 400 (since it is a closeout model now), innovis 410 or innovis 610 (because it has pre-set automatic tension and a couple other feature the janome 6030 does not have)
My advice is to go and have a look at the machine if you haven’t bought a machine yet. ask the sales rep if you can test drive the machine to see how you feel about the machine.

May I ask what you will primarily be using it for and what type of workload you expect? Are there any specific features you’re looking for? The 6030 is a very nice machine, but you might be able to get away with something like the Janome DC2012 and save some money. Just something to consider.
