Janome 8077 Sewing Machine Review
Article by Sewing Machines for Beginners
The Janome 8077 sewing machine offers great stitch selection, Janome precision, and computerized sewing machine controls in a sturdy, reliable package. It may not be as “pretty” as its functional twin, the Janome Magnolia 7330, but everything else is the same – stitches, features, and accessories.Janome 8077 Stitch PatternsThis sewing machine comes with 30 built-in stitches including six styles of 1-step buttonholes. There are a few quilting and decorative satin stitches along with the most important utility and garment construction stitches. Patterns include straight, zigzag, blind hem, stretch stitches, overlock, overcast, patchwork, shell tuck, and several satin stitches.Stitch width is adjustable to 7mm and stitch length adjustable to 5mm for certain stitches. Top thread tension is also adjustable. There are 15 possible needle position settings.Janome 8077 Presser FeetThis machine comes with four snap-on style presser feet: General Purpose, Zipper foot, Satin Stitch foot and the Automatic Buttonhole foot.The presser foot lever has three height settings including the standard down position, up used for removing or inserting your fabrics, and an extra high up setting for working with thicker layers of fabric.Presser foot pressure is automatic and not manually adjustable but the machine is designed to handle sheer fabrics as well as heavy-weight fabrics.Janome 8077 FeaturesThe worst part of getting ready to sew is always the process of setting up the machine – winding the bobbin, threading the machine, pulling up the bobbin thread and checking top thread tension. All of that has been made nearly effortless by the Janome 8077.Setting up this sewing machine is very easy thanks to an automatic bobbin winder system, top drop-in bobbin case with jam proof functionality, easy top thread guides, and an automatic needle threader.The most popular push button controls are also included such as a Start/Stop button which eliminates the need for the foot pedal when you desire, a conveniently located Reverse button, programmable Needle Up/Down controls, an Auto Lock button for automatic stitch tie off, and a speed control slider so you decide how fast the needle should move.This sewing machine has a superior feed dog system – 7 point contact in a box rotation pattern for extremely consistent fabric movement.The drop feed dog system allows for free motion quilting, free motion embroidery, darning, and button attachment. With the push of a button, you can also repeat and reinforce your buttonhole stitches.The extension arm can be removed for free-arm sewing. The bobbin cover is see-through so you know how much thread you have left before you launch into your project. There’s a bright LED light over the needle arm and a built-in carry handle so you can easily move the machine around your house.Janome 8077 Sewing Machine AccessoriesThe traditional selection of sewing machine accessories such as screwdriver, bobbins, needles, seam ripper, and felt can all be stored inside the extension arm.The Janome 8077 is a good sized sewing machine, sturdy and capable of standing up to heavy layers of denim. Stitches are even and of high quality. While it might not have the yellow flowers and purple trim of its twin, it does have a nice, clean control panel that is just as easy to navigate.

|Sewing School Book Giveaway USA,
Sew School is one of the sweetest and complete books any other amazing gifts for you to give. Storey publishing generously sent me this book for a giveaway and anyone with a young sewer or even if you are a beginning sewer you will enjoy this book. You child will stand up proudly and say “I made it myself”. In the back of the book there is sturdy folder to hold the pattern pieces and a 9″ measuring ruler on the inside of back cover, too clever!
Teaching kids to sew early is a great way to build confidence, improve fine motor skills, and encourage creativity. Sewing School is a fun, kid-tested, how-to-sew book for ages 5 and up, featuring 21 step-by-step projects to inspire young sewers to create useful, modern objects with minimal adult supervision. This is the perfect resource for families looking for low-cost activities that kids can do at home. Homeschoolers, summer camps, and after-school programs will also find that Sewing School gives children an outlet for their individuality while offering easy-to-understand instructions for confident crafting.
Sewing School starts with introductions of sewing kits, fabric, safety rules, threading, stitching, and patterns. Basic techniques for stuffing, casings, trim, embroidery, and buttons are introduced using step-by-step photos and simple text. One lesson, called Bring Your Project to Life, gives kids creative ideas for making items into their own with personalized embellishments.
The projects in Sewing School fit into six categories: Hug – for easy pillows, stuffies, and more; Hold It! – for totes to hold necessities of all sorts; Give – for gifts that Sewing School fans will surely appreciate; Wear – so kids’ can show off their very own attire; Recycle & Repair – with T-shirt pillows, falling hem repairs and more; and Vet Clinic – so Mr. Teddy can have his eyes back! A Sewing School Dictionary, Resource Guide, and full-size patterns are included in the back of the book so kids can get right to work!
You can purchase and preview this book on amazon.com.
