[Nfb-krafters-korner] Janome DC2010 sowing machine

I do not know anything about this machine, but I do have a lot of sewing  
machines and let me comment on what you have said about this machine.
 
I have a Bernina that does have a self needle threading  feature that  
worked similar to what was said, but it does not work any more.  It was a  
plastic part and did not stand up to me trying to thread it.  I do have  some 
large needle threaders that I had gotten that works much better then those  
little needle threaders.  The metal disc is about the size of a half dollar  
coin and the wire is probably almost 1 inch that extends beyond the metal  
disc.  I can actually put it thru the needle and stand it up while I use  both 
hands to put the thread thru the wire.
 
I have a singer machine that has the 2 speeds to sew with.  That is  nice 
when I am trying to do some delicate work or turning curves.  This  Singer I 
would have to get my dh to read me the model, but it is the newest  machine 
I had bought maybe 2 years back.  The best thing about this Singer  is it 
has a buttonhole  foot, that you put the button into the foot and  slide it 
shut, then set the machine dials and levels to the red spots on the  machine[I 
have put raised dots on the machine in each of these areas].   Once you put 
the garmet in place where you want the buttonhole to start, you put  the 
presser buttonhole  foot down and the machine will make a buttonhole  all 
byitself to perfectly fit that Button. 
 
I use to have a Singer Futura back when my kids were little that had that  
feature.  When I started sewing clothes for my Grand daughters I searched  
for a machine that would do that.  I paid less then $125 for it and I am so  
happy I found it.
 
The Bernina is a computerized machine and I don't use any or very many of  
the decorative stitches on it.  I haven't been sewing much lately.
 
I have a Singer Feather Weight that I had since I was 16 year old and man  
that only sews straight stitches back and forth, but that is the baby I 
dragged  out after I went blind and sat down to see if I could sew on a machine  
blind.
 
I also have Several Elna machines that I used a lot when I sewed making my  
crafts and selling them while my kids were in grammar school.  I have all  
the decorated stitches in the world with my Elnas and they have discs you 
put in  to do the stitches. [I have over 100 discs ranging from zig 
zag,stretch  stitches, hearts, flowers, sail boats, dogs, cats, Christmas trees, etc.
 
Oh yes I have the machine I learned to sew on when I was 11 years  old.  
Well Mom still has it a Singer treddle machine-no power except you  peddling 
it.

Hello,
I'm wondering if any of you crafters have any experience  with the machine 
mentioned in the subject line?
I went today to look at  machines for the first time, and this one seemed 
to be HIGHLY recommended to  me. It has some features that I could really see 
as being useful to one with  visual limitations such as self threading, and 
great speed control, so I  thought I'd run it past this list to see if 
anyone here has ever used one and  what your thoughts may  be.

Thanks,
Nicole
