Enabler Alert - Sew Mini!
 
The Janome "Sew Mini" is back on sale for $39.99! I watched a friend use hers to sew on her paper crafting projects and it was so convenient and easy!! I love the zig-zag stitch on cards!

I have now maxed out my Christmas Gift Card from hubby!! But this was worth the wait!! :D

I have been wanting one of these to try sewing on my cards. Haven't done that trend yet, but wanting to. Thanks for sharing.

Ive read to be sure and order the Janome bobbins as regular bobbins won't fit

For those who have this machine -- can you use it to sew simple pillows, hems, etc? Or is it best just for paper projects? Thanks!

Oh you can definitely use it for 'real' sewing. It is a real sewing machine in all aspects, just smaller. I designate one needle for fabric and one for paper though, because paper does dull the point faster.

i just got the hello kitty one from target on sale for 49.98. it is a bit larger and probably heavier than the sew mini. it also does more (more stitches etc.) by the time i bumped up my order to 50 to get free shipping at hancock, i figured i might as well just get this one. has anyone used it and do you have any reviews? janome sew pretty sew perfect hello kitty sewing machine...

The machine I bought is online only and is still showing as $59.99 (and is now OOS) so I'm curious which machine you got because the only other one they show online is $99 (and says online only so I'm curious what the one is that I saw at the store). Did you get some killer deal in the store or something?

gale - i did get a killer deal! it was the greenish $99 machine marked down to $49, which is why i took the plunge initially today. then i came home to compare it all, and i am scared to open the box to keep it!

it is a bit bigger than the sew mini everyone here is writing about. and i don't think it only weighs 5 pounds, but i also don't think i'll be packing it along for any stamping outings anyway, so i don't really need the light weight. i am just hoping it will do what i want. i can barely remember how to sew, and i can't tell from the outside of the box about the bobbin thing, and i hope that won't be a big problem! and and and...

i have an old full size machine that was my mom's, but this looks so much smaller and simpler. and my 9 year old wants to learn to sew, so even if i don't end up using it for cards, maybe she can use it to start learning. see how i am talking myself into keeping it already??!!! besides... it's so cute and i am still a sucker for hello kitty after all these years. i remember saving up my money to buy a hello kitty colored pencil set in my youth...

i am enabling myself here, without any actual reviews from any of you!!!!
