Janome 6234xl overlocker review part-1 năm 2024
|
The 6234XL makes overlocking so easy! Incorporating the differential feed system of two feed dogs, puckered edges on woven fabrics and stretched edges on knits are virtually eliminated. Show The rolled hem conversion feature eliminates the need to change the needle plate, presser foot or tension setting. Restructured lower looper guides allow easy access. The colour-coded guides mean that threading the 6234XL for 2, 3, or 4 thread overlocker really is as easy as 1, 2, 3!! Easy rolled hem change overNo need to change the needle plate for rolled hemming. Just slide the needle plate setting knob to the ""R"" position to switch the chaining finger to the rolled hemming position. 2 thread overlockingSet your overlocker for 2 thread use by sliding thread guide from 3 or 4 thread position to 2 thread position and attach spreader to right looper. Lower looper threadingBy rotating the threading lever, the lower looper thread guides will be accessible, making threading easy. Turn the balance wheel and the threading lever will return to its original position. Retractable knifeThe upper knife can be quickly and easily deactivated when not required. Adjustable cutting widthEasily adjust the cutting width to suit the thickness of the material. An easy way for correcting the seam tension. Thread cutterThe thread cutter is conveniently located on the side of the machine and trims the thread neatly and easily. Tension releaseLifting the presser foot automatically releases the tensions which allows you to easily draw the threads through when threading, just like a sewing machine. Anyone who’s read any of my previous posts will see that I don’t use an overlocker for stretch fabrics, nor for finishing other items. Instead, I use a zigzag stitch and edging foot which works fine, but does take a bit longer, as does using a stretch stitch where it’s required. If I’m completely honest I don’t know exactly what an overlocker can do other than stitch and trim at the same time, giving a neat finish to seams and being ideal for finishing garments made with stretch fabric. I’ve been thinking about getting a new overlocker for quite a while and although I inherited my mom’s old Toyota overlocker a few years ago I have never got to grips with using it. My husband spotted that I’d been reading reviews on the different machines and surprised me by ordering a Janome 6234XL from Amazon which I’d saved in my basket. It has great reviews with 5 out of 5 stars. I had also been looking at short courses on learning about the overlocker and decided on The Stitch Sisters Guide to Overlockers course, mainly due to the great reviews of the course and also because they use the same machine. Tilly & the Buttons also runs a highly recommended course, Make Friends With An Overlocker. I’ve only just started the course and so far am impressed by the concise information without any additional waffle that is often present on YouTube videos – I just like to get to the point! I can’t provide a review on the overlocker as yet because all I’ve done so far is unpack it and look at it whilst starting the course. I have some boxers to make for my son so will use that as my first proper project. I’ll then be able to offer more information on the machine itself. I looked at a few other machines and if money was no object I would have loved an air threader but this still remains a dream, & probably always will! This machine received 4.9 out of 5 stars reviews on Amazon. From the details I read I don’t think there is much between the Janome & Brother, 4.6 & 4.8 out of 5 stars respectively. However, my sewing machine is a Janome and I’ve been really pleased with it. Links to all the overlocker machines I looked at can be found below. I’d love to treat myself to a bag for storage as we all know how dusty a sewing room can get with the fabric particles and I have two to choose between, both suitable for most standard machines. Maybe, I can put one on my Christmas List. The machine comes already threaded with a small amount of thread & I ordered 4 spools of grey thread – this colour will go with many of the items I make and I can use it to practice threading the machine (with the help of the Stitch Sisters)

Our vis Specials! What is a Janome 6234xl overlocker?While that is the basic function of them, there’s certainly more to each overlocker than that! And the Janome 6234XL Overlocker is no different. In fact, this particular overlocker is a Great British Sewing Bee favourite! Used for the 2019 season, this machine is a workhorse and can handle any type of fabric you throw at it. Does a Janome overlocker have air threading?It has air threading for the loopers and a needle threader; most overlockers don’t. A waste tray is included. It can do 2, 3 and 4 thread stitches like the AirThread 2000D, but at half the price. Although it’s not air threaded, it has an easy to thread lower looper system that is much better than the cheaper Janome options. How do I thread a 6234xl overlocker?The colour-coded guides mean that threading the 6234XL for 2, 3, or 4 thread overlocker really is as easy as 1, 2, 3!! No need to change the needle plate for rolled hemming. Just slide the needle plate setting knob to the ""R"" position to switch the chaining finger to the rolled hemming position. Does Janome have a waste tray?A waste tray is included. It can do 2, 3 and 4 thread stitches like the AirThread 2000D, but at half the price. Although it’s not air threaded, it has an easy to thread lower looper system that is much better than the cheaper Janome options. It also comes with a waste tray included, unlike the cheaper models. What is the best overlocker to buy?Hands down, the Bernina L460 Overlocker is one of the best on the market. It cuts, sews, and finishes your seams perfectly every time! Our favourite feature of this machine is the extension table that comes standard with it. It really expands your workspace and lets you work on whatever projects you want, with ease. Is Janome serger good?It sews great. This was very inexpensive in relation to other sergers. I won't be using it a lot, so it will be sufficient for my needs. My local sewing machine repair person said that Janome sergers have a much better lifespan than other brands, so I was happy to find a Janome for such a reasonable price. Can you use an overlocker as a normal sewing machine?Overlockers differ from sewing machines in that they're not suitable to be used on their own when stitching together a garment. They work best in tandem with a sewing machine to complement the more versatile work that sewing machines can perform. Shop Sewing Machines and Overlockers with Sewing Direct Today. |
