Juki HZL-LB5100 Computerized Sewing Machine

I’m totally satisfied!!!! I’m Very happy and Love my new Juki sewing machine!I just received my Juki 5100. I chose Juki because I have a Juki serger bought a year ago, and my experience with the Juki quality is great. Both my Juki machines are shipped from the same seller which is great.The package came in fast and in excellent packaging condition, no missing parts in the standard footing packet. The machine is quite, runs smoothly on all the stitche patterns I tried. I love love how simple it is just to push the arrow buttons to select the stitche I want and go! The instruction in the manual booklet is great with the explanations of different stitche settings, and I found this is very instrumental for a beginner like myself. Besides, the digital screen will show me the correct footing for each different stitche pattern I select, and that’s pretty much the only thing I need to change out when using different stitche if I have to.I started to make a simple zigzag seams on stretchy cotton knit. And the finish is very impressive as how smooth it looks and effortless to sew it. (I had a different brand mechanical straight line sewing machine that I was so struggling with stretchy, thin or thick fabrics).I am so so happy with what I got as a decision to stay with Juki brand for the price value in quality. And these 100 stitche patterns are just great and good enough for me to do all I need. I am not doing any embodiment or quilting, so I am not speaking of that. But I think I can try with this machine if I can get the correct footings for free style quilting.

Oh my lanta, this machine is like none other. It's so quiet you could sew in the room with your sleeping husband and he might not even get grumpy. It's like a gentle white noise. It seems like it could sew through just about any material. The stitches are incredible and efficient. Light weight, portable, well engineered... I dont think I could have bought a better sewing machine for the price. I've only gotten to play with it a little, but it really sews like a dream. I'm going to be putting button holes and a finishing touch embroidery on pretty much everything.2 things so far that I dont care for- the light is really not great and indeed it looks like the sleeve bar is a bit large for sewing little girls clothes (which is my primary use) but ultimately i cant complain. I will update eventually when I get to use itna bit more.It's been a few months now and I still ABSOLUTELY love this machine, I've only had maybe 4 mild jams and it's because I'm a noob a sewing and didnt set my fabric in right and naturally it got eaten. My sewing gets less consistent in the summer, but still, no complaints. Also, the sleeve bar is a bit big for little girls clothes, but not so much that it cant be done!

it's a juki, good sewing machine..my dad likes it.main thing is you have to spend the time to tinker with the machine and learn how to use it.he initially thought it was junk, but once he learned a few tricks he liked it. so it was mostly user error in beginning.you need to have right settings for speed, right needle, and technique...quality of this blows away the competition. we had a singer before, and this is much better;plenty of features, patterns, and settings control.if you really prefer to sew thick materials like jeans, then don't use this, get a standard cast iron one with table and foot control.

I researched machines and read reviews until my eyes were ready to fall out of my head. I finally narrowed it down to this machine, a Janome and a Brother. I love this machine. It is very easy to use, whether you are a beginner or more advanced sewer this machine will work great for you. There is a instructional DVD that comes along with it as well as a very easy to use manual. The tension in this machine is very even (one of my biggest pet peeves is a machine that does not regulate the tension well!). It is quiet and sews a beautiful stitch. It comes with several excsessories and sewing feet. The only sewing feet I had to purchase separately was an invisible sewing foot and a walker foot. Juki sewing feet can be expensive but I purchased ones on amazon that are compatible and they work just fine. Also, you are not going to be able to buy extra bobbins and things like that at Joanne's. I buy bobbins and other parts online with no trouble. I have used this machine to make several garments and have been very pleased. I don't quilt so am not familiar with all the extra's that a quilter would like in a machine. Also I have used this machine to make a denim skirt and it worked great but if you are really into sewing with heavy fabric you may want to look into a heavy duty machine. This is a great machine for the money. I looked at several that were more expensive and I feel I made the right choice. This machine does have a 100 different stitches, which I admit I do not use very often so I probably would have been just fine with one that does fewer stitches. Overall a great buy, happy sewing.

I haven't sewn anything since I was in high school, which has been over two decades ago. By watching the simple instructional DVD, I learned everything to get started. This machine is high quality and extremely easy to use and that's why I purchased it. I highly recommend this machine to a beginner or an experienced sewing machine user. It runs smoothly and very quietly - Money well spent! Buy it today!Pros: Extremely easy to use, high quality machine, comes with accessories and hard case.
