    Sewing machine: Usha janome stitch magic

    Hello friends,
    I would like to take your guidance in chosing a sewing machine! i had a bad experience with Singer Rotomatic, so now i think of buying USHA JANOME Stitch Magic. I wish to know if that is a good machine and have anybody of our group is owning one? Please say your comment on Usha Janome Allure...
    Can that machine stitch knit also, as it says stretch stitch,(USHA JANOME)?
    If not is there any machine, tht could stitch KNIT material also?
    Please answer,,,

    I have got Usha janome Japan.I too bought it after having a very bad experience with Rotomatic.I am happy with my machine.I do not think there is an option of stitching stretch fabric in my machine.i bought my machine long back.

    I had a rotomatic earlier and I had problem with it. I then bought a singer fashion maker (imported model) with the basic model (only 5 decorative stitches) in an exchange offer. For the last 6 years, I have not had any problem with it.

    Hi saheli,
    i asked for any exchange offers, but they said that the Rotomatic would be taken only for Rs.2000, i bought that for Rs.8000, when did u avail the offer and where?

    Re: Sewing machine: Usha janome stitch magic

    Rs. 2000 is a good bet. I exchanged for only 1000Rs in 2004. This was at the singer showroom in chennai which was then near devi theatre. Also, I had bought my rotomatic from the military canteen thru my uncle and had been facing some or the other problems. Still I managed to use it for about 4-5 years I guess (do not remember well).
