Janome 454/554D experiences
Janome released new Sailing Line serger models 454/554/654D last year and they have now been reaching shelves also locally here.
Notable improvements have been more stable rubber feets with less vibration, new design of the feet for less slipping when sewing multiple layers, and less noise when sewing. It has also double the amount of feed dogs but not sure how much they will affect fabric feeding in use unless sewing thin fabrics.
Anyone yet with experiences how they have been? Any tips what to ask and focus on when testing one? I’m considering getting 554D to replace our old basic Singer and going to retail for testing next Tuesday.
