sorted byJanome is a good make and tends to be quite reliable. This is an ideal machine for beginners. I have a higher spec Janome and love it. I am going to take this offer to have the machine as a second, lighter-weight machine to take to my craft group.
You may also want to consider the other subscription offers with this machine:
Mollie Makes £89.87
Simply Sewing £104.87
Today's Quilter £89.87
Love Patchwork and Quilting £89.87
Simply sewing is the most expensive but includes free sewing patterns with every issue which, if used, will also represent a big saving. (edited)
It's really easy to use and perfect for casual / beginner sewing. The reviews on Amazon are predominantly positive Janome 219S Sewing Machine - Just Released : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen
I’ve also up-cycled ripped jeans and patched them with this machine . I do have a larger machine but I love how easy and quick this is to set up and move, perfect for taking to sewing/craft class. It doesn’t have an auto threader or threading aid or auto button hole . However it sews well and easily and the manual button Hole setting works really well.
I think if I were to buy a new machine now I’d get the Aldi offer . That machine can sew letters and would be really useful for the sewing I do but I can’t afford another and don’t need it ! To compare :

This Janome
This affordable Janome 219-S machine is built with 14 stitches including an easy 4 step buttonhole, producing perfect buttonholes in 4 easy steps. Stitch length and width is adjustable, offers a good range of stitches, including stretch and an overlock stitch as well as having the ability to use twin needles. Snap-On feet, a push button reverse lever, and manual tension unit for lay-in threading, it’s a budget priced product in a lightweight package that will suit the occasional sewer. The 219-S has a front loading oscillating hook system which is quick to load, auto-stop bobbin winding, retractable spool pins that recess for storage and soft cover to protect the machine from dust and dirt. Janome 219-S is a lightweight machine making it easier to transport, plus with a front loading bobbin case. It's an ideal starter machine as it's easy to use. The detachable storage box converts the flat bed into a useful free arm and allows easy access to tricky areas like sleeves and trouser legs, extra height foot lifter doubles the height of the foot and allows for extra bulky fabrics and the independent stitch length adjustment increases the versatility. The Janome 219-S also has 2 handy pull up/push down spool pins for ease of use and safe storage and because there are 2, you can really be creative using twin needles. A darning plate is included for darning, freehand embroidery or for sewing buttons. Quality is first class, it feels and sews like a more expensive product. (edited)
The Necchi NM2000 (it’s £149.99) one mentioned in my reply . I’ve also posted it as a ‘hot deal’ . Having said this I’m very happy with this Janome . Aldi I think have a three year guarantee on the Necchi (don’t quote me on that check first). The Necchi featured as a Best Buy in Prima magazine.
If you’re looking for a beginners machine or a second more portable machine with a complementary crafting magazine to inspire suggest you get the Janome.
If you’re thinking of big constant sewing projects maybe you want something a little more advanced .
The Jarome does most things a sewer needs. An advanced crafter might want specialist features or a heavy duty machine
Don't waste your money. You need a machine that has some weight to it … and 1.9kg won't stop the machine from bouncing around on the table. Buy the best you can afford, and then you might get into and enjoy sewing more.
Watch some videos here (Abi's Den) to find out which machine is better. (edited)
Facebook Marketplace have a few (well, in my area at least) … so worth a look.
The reality with sewing is that you need a decent machine … but you also need decent fabric, thread and sewing machine needles (basically you need a few "ingredients" for a perfect creation).
I think the link buysubscriptions.com/MMS…C22 should work

I've had this one for around 3 years, to be honest it's a decent little machine, did job reasonably well with hemming curtains, sewing cushion covers and face masks back in the early days of Corona But would probably struggle with comfort if you want to do more than just very occasional sewing. I think this little one is a good one to give to kids who want to learn to sew, it's difficult to mess it up as it's pretty simple, but for an adult it's just a little to small in size to be doing hours and hours of sewing.
I think this is a great deal if you're coming in cold, perhaps just watched some sewing bee and not sure whether you'll use it I think this is a great entry option, as you get the magazines too. Now I've been sewing for a year I'd consider a new sewing machine with "gadgets" e.g. a bobbin sensor. But I don't really need one... I did also buy an overlocker which wasn't necessary but does speed the whole sewing process up.
I've made ginger jeans from Closet Core, with it. Yep you need a sharp needle and possibly some extra foot type I can't remember (I got loads of extra feet cheap on amazon).
I've also been asked to look into them but don't know the first thing about them
Yes, same here
Although, most of my tools reside on shelving in my bedroom - the shed being too damp for them
It is a great machine … until you have to deal with the warranty company. If there is a problem, you have to ship the machine to Germany. Also, the warranty company won't tell you what repairs have been done. I'm glad I only paid £55.99 (in store) for it … but I bet my bottom-dollar that Janome, Singer and Necchi are made in the same factory … so don't be fooled by brand name.
I am basing this on my experience with Singer … their staff are so helpful and knowledgeable about their machines … whereas Aldi Necchi (Singrato) tell you to check the manual if you have problems.
My grandma (RIP) used to have one of those heavy duty machines (cast-iron on a wooden base) back in the day. The whole thing weighed a ton & being very stable & solid was a joy to operate as a young boy myself. I wish I had that one today.
No it is cheap for a reason , I bought this when I started , I sold it on eBay , the best budget machines are , Viking emeralds , great for beginners ....
Thank you very much for detailed response. Which subscription is the best among them?
Does anyone have the link to the offer on Simply Sewing, I can only find it without the machine
Thanks for this, perfect
Thanks for this, I think I’m going for it (edited)
Thank you very much for that
Wll this be strong enough for jeans / denim & similar thicker fabric please? With a change to an appropriate thicker needle I'm presuming.
Which aldi one thanks
Check your local Aldi, might be available for a reduced price: hotukdeals.com/dea…592
4.7 stars on 5 from over 260 Aldi reviews
Perfect! They were quick this time, last year took a month
Would the Janome have a similar stability issue? I quite enjoy rudimentary hand-sewing (it might not seem the most "male" of tasks at first glance but its surprisingly therapeutic) and would love to learn to use a sewing machine. However I'm a big believer in getting the best gear you can for a particular task even if you're a beginner - in fact especially if you're a beginner. (edited)
I bought the simply sewing for the missus last time, she's loving it. She's already enrolled on one of the advanced sewing course. Keeps her busy
Btw. Would i need to cancel the simply sewing subscription at the end of the year? Or does it auto cancel? (edited)
Same here
'Budget' machine at 4 times the cost
Do you mean a secondhand one?
Thanks for your advice. Appreciate it. Are there any deals going on the Viking ones?
some great machines on ebay , pfaff, juki, husqurvana, ect
