Janome 219-S Sewing Machine Features and Benefits In terms of sturdiness of the main machine, we tested sewing at full speed and did vibrate a bit, so there maybe quieter machines out there but this doesn’t especially put us off. Janome 219-S extra functions The Janome 219s has a 4 step buttonhole, darning plate for free hand embroidery sewing, adjustable stitch length and zig zag width and the free arm is suitable for trouser legs, shirt sleeves etc. Adjustable Length & Zig Zag Width We had to play around about with the thread tension to match the fabric a bit, so would have found it useful to see a stitch tension guide for different fabrics for beginners in the manual, but this isn’t an exclusive issue for this machine – it’s all part of the sewing process and we soon worked out which thread tensions worked best for which fabric. One notable feature of the Janome 219-S is its 4-step buttonholer, which simplifies the process of creating buttonholes. With this feature, you can easily create professional-looking buttonholes with minimal effort.
