Does anyone have a Janome sewing machine Magnolia?

I am a beginner who wants to learn the basic construction of garments and some darn ... my choices so far are the Viking Emerald 116, magnolia and 16,221 Janome Kenmore? Any suggestions out there ...

I am a Viking same, but Janome machines are good, with plenty of features per dollar. Some of the Janome Kenmore is disguised. Has sewn test in any of these machines? That's the great thing first try. Get some really miserable sewing fabrics like cotton and polyester jersey economic silky and a little Nice wool, cotton twill or denim, and anything you'd like to try. Wal-Mart is often difficult in tissues properly at the table of $ 1, and the ladies in the fabric department often sew, so it may help get some good test tissues. I also sent to the review section of the sewing machine of patternreview: http://sewing.patternreview.com/SewingMachine/Reviews may need to sign up for free membership to read more comments - I had no problems with my membership in the several years I've been a member. I really urge to go shopping in a real sewing machine shop and compare a number of different models, including those few hundred above where you are. I am NOT saying that these machines are bad, but you need to know what seems like a good seam and easy for a machine can do things for you. It is also necessary to address some of the settings that are not necessarily found in cheaper machines, such as presser foot pressure. I'm not trying to upsell you, I do not want to see you frustrated, and since I do not know about these machines and sewing for many years that frustrated the daylights of me, I'd like you skip this step. The other reason I want to see you try to machines on a sewing machine shop (typically a stitch 'n' VAC) is that you should get a decent demonstration of the capabilities of each machine, you can learn some tricks while are demonstrated (the most ingenious application elastic waist that I learned came from a lady who shows a machine), and could have a machine much better than those who have taken in trade, and would be in your price range. Oh, and the sewing machine shops typically offer classes, including basic machine using your free classes, and pay for classes for special projects. What is absolutely necessary * * to sew clothing is a good straight stitch, zigzag and a decent buttonhole method that does not drive you crazy. Other fantasy points are filled with many machines are not needed for basic sewing, and rarely used by most people, in my experience. Two suggestions: http://www.cet.com/ ~ pennys / FAQ / smfaq.htm and Carol Ahles book 'good machine Sewing, you can probably find at the public library. Pay special attention to the early chapters of thread, needles, cleaning your machine, and later chapters on choosing a machine. Pick it up again later when you need to make a blindhem machine. A good teacher Carol, and their work is impeccable, and the techniques are not that difficult. (Yes, I know, I sometimes help them in their booth at the sample sewing, no, I have no interest in your company.)
