Reviews about the Janome My Excel W23U sewing machine
Virtues
- Love this sewing machine. I tried to sew different materials: from leather to knitwear. Everything suits me. Easy to manage, you can understand without difficulty. Of course, by modern standards, it is already obsolete, but for an undemanding consumer it is 100% suitable. It is necessary to strictly observe the needle-thread-fabric ratio, then all the lines will be smooth. Thick patches runs without problems. I bought a lot of legs - for models of this company are very cheap.
disadvantages
- It is inconvenient that for the reverse it is necessary to hold the button continuously. There is no possibility at this moment to hold the fabric with your hands. But this is probably due to my inexperience.
Comment
At first I wanted a more expensive model, but after reading a lot of positive reviews about this work, I bought it. And never regretted.

- The convenience of use. Takes thin, thick, knitted fabrics. It works quietly, does not vibrate, powerful.
disadvantages
- I get a not very nice loop, the density is different, there is balancing, but I did not manage to adjust it. Communicated in specialized forums - many have such a problem.
- For knit stitches when setting the stitch width, the pitch is set automatically, sometimes it is not very convenient.
Comment
Today it happened to sew on a simple Brazera and I loved my typewriter with tripled strength. All that seemed to be taken for granted - a flat line without breaks and looping, the presence of decorative and knitted lines, low volume at work, ease of filling the bobbin, ease with the passage of thick sections, smooth adjustment of speed and etc.
I sew on my typewriter and knitwear, not having an overlock, and thin and thick fabrics.

- Workhorse, I have 10 years old, sews silk, chiffon, drape, jeans, leather. I served in the repair of clothes for 3 years. I paid for myself 20 times. I love her. (when jeans, for example, stitching or skin). It is also convenient to fix the needle in the fabric, for example at the corner, when you need to turn it)
disadvantages
- Automatic loop is not the best, I do the loop manually.
Comment
As for stitch skipping, I can only say one thing for different fabrics. Different needles and threads are needed and you will be happy, you can read more about the settings on sewing forums (aspen or season, for example). overlock is a big difference and you need to immediately understand that no household appliance will process and, moreover, will not cut the edge like an overlock.
As for the extra 5 embroidery pseudo-lines, 3 of them I use all the time, especially the last 23, I use it as a finish on jeans, for example, my friends and customers are delighted.

Comment
I am very pleased with the machine, I sew a lot and have no problems. It copes with completely different fabrics and costumes, and chiffon, and a smoker with lycra (the carpetlock did not want to be adjusted, but it was necessary to immediately sew a T-shirt - Dzhanomochka miraculously sewed everything). Great car! The only thing I want to make a reservation, I do not save on needles and threads, I put only quality ones.

- Here the price-quality ratio is pronounced. Very nice car. I have been using for 4 years. Takes and chiffon, and drape, and knitwear. The string is satisfactory, can withstand comparison with the industrial. Read a comment about the automatic loop (they say, you can not adjust the uniform zastel left and right edges), so in industrial machines very often there is such a thing. In short, this machine is suitable for both simple housewives, and for a small studio with a small area (power) and maneuverability. A very good function is the knit stitch (semi-zigzag). Good selection of paws and accessories. And most importantly, any more or less capable dressmaker or seamstress will be able to set it up and make minor repairs.
disadvantages
- Unregulated length knit and some finishing lines. But in my opinion, this is not regulated in other sewing machines, and with different brands. And yet it is inconvenient. Of course, slow speed (at the maximum selected). But most importantly, I can not buy good quality knit needles! Native (complete) needle takes any kind of knitwear, and the purchased one - NO!

- Bought a long time, I sew a lot, quite happy. There were some minor failures due to improper operation, but everything was repaired by itself.
disadvantages
- I agree that the backlight is rather weak.
Comment
For the money - more than a decent model. I generally have two cars, an old Pfaf and this one. And more kuverlok Juki. And I sewed on even more machines ... This machine suits me and I don’t want to change it at all. Workhorse, I would say.
True, it doesn’t take all the threads from me, now I take only reinforced Petersburg ones - they are inexpensive and excellently sewn. But Dortak, Besteks - not so hot something (((But it needs to be picked up with needles, cloth, etc. Just reinforced Petersburg went under all tknai and needles ...
And also - I dream to purchase the upper conveyor. Well, a couple of paws bought. But I sew a lot ...)))
