Consumer Review
This is my first sewing machine. I have sewed by hand and that became too time consuming.

After shopping around at many stores to find a good "beginner" machine, I came across a dealer who both had Decor 5124 machine and was willing to give me an elaborate demonstration.

The Janome 5124 sewing machine is wonderful! It has speed control, automatic buttonholer, and is easy to thread. Thick fabric into thin fabric sewing doesn't require changing any settings.

It has a very powerful motor and is very quiet during use. -Eve
