Product Review Janome HD3000 Black Edition

The Janome HD3000 has arrived in Australia and now that we have had the time to play with this machine, we are thrilled to share our thoughts! As passionate Janome supporters, I couldn’t wait to get our hands on the Janome HD3000 to the test and see what it’s all about; after all, who wouldn’t want to test out the machine that has been Janome’s most popular international model. And overall, we were thoroughly impressed with this machine’s capabilities and features.

This machine is similar to the Janome MW3018LE and offers the strength, reliability, and performance that you come to expect from a Janome Sewing Machine. It can easily handle even the thickest of fabrics, stitching over 16 layers of damask with ease. And let me tell you, it’s a real game-changer when it comes to tackling those tough denim or canvas projects! But don’t let its toughness fool you, this machine is also incredibly user-friendly, with simple dial and slide controls, it is a breeze to get started. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience under your belt, the Janome HD3000 is a true joy.

The needle threader on this machine is one of my favourite features. No more fumbling around with little threads and difficult spools! You can effortlessly thread a needle with only a flick of the wrist and be prepared to start your next project.

Speaking of time-saving features, the automatic buttonhole is really great. Perfect buttonholes without having to stop and start repeatedly? Please, yes! The Janome HD3000 is a delight to use thanks to these small details.


Aesthetically, the machine’s black casing stands out and adds a bit of personality.

It should be noted that this machine weighs 8.3kg, which makes it a little challenging to move about if you need to switch up your sewing setup frequently. That said, this weight does serve a purpose. Resulting from the HD3000-BE’s full metal frame, this weight reduces vibrations that are common when stitching over thick fabrics at high speeds. As such, this is a tiny drawback in comparison to the machine’s many advantages, but it’s something to bear in mind if you frequently need to relocate your sewing machine.

In conclusion, the Janome HD3000 should be at the top of your list if you’re in the market for a new mechanical sewing machine. The robustness, dependability, and user-friendliness of this machine make it a true workhorse with an unparalleled combination of features. Just be aware that moving it around can be a little heavy. The Janome HD3000 is certain to surpass your expectations and give you hours of creative fulfilment, whether of whether you’re working on a large project or just require a machine for some simple repairs and adjustments. So go ahead, give it a try – you won’t regret it!
