I bought 2 Janome sew mini machines for my grandaughters. I wish I would have bought one better machine for them to share. I was always having to fix the bobbin area, as the thread would hang up inside.Not sure about Hello Kitty or the Gem.

The Janome Gem Gold line is not inexpensive unless you can find a good buy on Ebay. I think sewing machine companies make a big mistake making low quality sewing machines along with their high quality machines.

There were four reviews on the website for this machine. Two of them gave it five stars (the highest rating) and two gave it four stars. One of the four star ratings stated that the bobbin tension was off and had to be adjusted; the second person didn't comment at all.
That said, if I were looking for a machine for an older child, perhaps pre-teen, I'd look for a good used full-sized machine. For a younger child, I think this one would be great. Janome makes good sewing machines. With the 3/4 size, it would be easier for a younger child to move about without all of the weight of a larger machine. JMHO. :wink:

how does the Janome sewist series work? I am looking at getting one and have the opertunity to maybe get a floor model from a sewing machine shop. It is the 521 model. My DH said that I can save for my Birthday for one. August is not going to come fast enough. But that is only if my singer from walmart can't be fixed.
I have seen the hello kitty ones and even thought about doing one of those for my daughter. She loves to try and sew but she is only 2 years old. It wouldn't be for a few more years. Seeing how she is so young.
