Review for: Jaguar 489 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
I wouldn’t recommend this overlocker, it hasn’t worked properly since I’ve had it. It has been in to GUR and I was advised as it was the timing out I should have had to pay but they waived the fee and I all I had to pay was postage. I was without it for 2 weeks. It came back just as bad as before, it is ok to start with then it breaks thread and needles - this is on every garment! I can never get a garment out without changing needles and re-threading. I can’t go at any speed without it unthreading or breaking a needle. It even flung a stitch finger out - it was bent so couldn’t be put back in so had to use the other one provided. The tension seems to change itself too.
I have taken it to my sewing lessons to show the tutor and she agrees it’s not working correctly. …

Review for: Jaguar 489 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
Never used an Overlocker before but this is really straightforward to use. Came threaded with colour coded spools and was really easy to rethread, following diagrams inside the cover. It feels very solid and breezed through multiple layers of heavier cotton drill to finish seams on some trousers. At full speed it needs a sturdy table or it will rock a lot, but the rubber feet seem to help a lot.

This sturdy sewing machine is my 2nd one. It sews through thick layers of fabric, but handles the sheer fabrics with ease. I like it has a great array of stitches and a one step buttonhole facility.Would recommend this machine if you are a heavy user, I use mine 6 days a week

Review for: Jaguar DQS 405 Sewing and Quilting Machine
Was perusing machines for a friend getting back into sewing & came across the Jaguar DQS 405 & it was on offer (ex demo) at an excellent price. Husband bought it for me as when I bought my last machine, it was buy what's left due to the pandemic. It started me on my sewing journey, but, after using a computerised machine at a sewing class I was hankering after one. I am not disappointed. What a super machine. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get my head around the instructions, but, after playing around with the machine over a couple of sessions I've now sussed it. I don't know why I was worried. I just love everything about the machine, but, I especially love how you can control the speed compared to my mechanical machine.....I can be a bit heavy footed …

Review for: Jaguar 489 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
I've had this machine for over six months now and I'm very pleased with it. It's easy to use and threading isn't difficult, especially with the way the machine opens up. I would recommend using the thread tension settings as a starting point and experimenting with your fabric/thread combination. I usually always find that my looper tension needs to be higher. I haven't made much use of the differential feed yet but am confident enough now to use it to make a t-shirt without sewing first, and the results have been impressive. Highly recommended.

Nice easy machine to use, smooth action. Tried the button hole function and it did miss a couple of stitches, also the automatic threading is a little fiddly which kind of defeats the object. However, on the whole a good machine for the money.

I baught this machine because my other overlocker had broken and was beyond repair. I have to say, I was a bit weary at first but I needn't have worried.

I can honestly say that up to now I love this machine.

Review for: Janome HD9 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine
I am so pleased with the quality of the Janome HD9, it is so sturdy, solid, fast, easy to use and goes through thick seams like you'd expect from a HD machine. I like the separate bobin motor and it means that you don't have to unthread your machine to wind the bobin, it's set up with it's own thread holder. This machine only does straight stitch, no zig-zag, button holes etc etc but it is built to just sew, sew, sew! It is a heavy machine but I'm getting used to that, I think it would be best though, set up on a table or similar and left with it's cover over rather than having to lift and carry every time you want to sew but of course the weight of the machine is also a plus as it won't move about when you drag heavy fabric, leather or other materials …

Review for: Jaguar 489 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
Ordered on Sunday afternoon, it was here when I got home from work today (Tuesday).
Incredibly easy to set up. I played around with the tensions, stitch width and differential feeds to see how they would affect the stitch.
Really useful having it ready threaded with different colours so I could see the effect of each change I made.
I decided to bite the bullet and try re-threading it with the thread I had ordered from GUR. I could not believe how easy it was to thread. The machine is much quieter than I expected it to be and I love the fact that you can completely open up the front to see where all the threads go.
Thank you GUR for your excellent, efficient service. I can't wait to start sewing in earnest.

Bought this machine after a lot of research having previously owned 2 other well known brands. I hadn't heard of Jaguar before but I wanted a machine that did letters and numbers as well as automatic buttonholes . This machine gave me everything I wanted at a really good price and a longer guarantee than other machines. It's a brilliant machine ! Easy threading, automatic tension, clear instruction manual. So easy to change stitches. Embroidery stitches are very well done and just a touch of the screen changes length and width. Basic sewing is smooth and even and I love the feature of automatically backstitching begining and end of seams at the touch of a button. Last but not least , the customer service from GUR was outstanding. I would certainly buy Jaguar again and use …

Although I bought my Jaguar DQS 405 from GUR in February I didn't get the chance to sew with it until this weekend. Fantastic. I love the speed control, the vast selection of stiches, the needle up/down button, the needle threader etc. This machine is so quiet. I choose Jaguar because I'd previously bought the Jaguar Overlocker and found that easy to use and very quiet compared to the Lidl Model I had. The service was good and the staff very helpful.

Have finished a long-standing project to make removable covers for 2 outdoor sofas. The overlocker did the work in short time with beautiful finish inside and out. Needed to change thread and it was easy to follow instructions. My sister is a DT teacher and was very impressed when she saw how easy it is to access the interior for threading and cleaning. Delighted with my purchase. My daughter had the sewing machine for her birthday and has started some simple projects. She is also pleased with the results and loves being able to sew without a foot pedal. Both Jaguar machines have a good quality feel and we are very happy so far.

Purchased to replace my Singer that I’d had for over 40 years and I’m absolutely buzzing with it. It has so many features that my old machine didn’t, lots more stitches and is so quiet. I was a little apprehensive and I must admit the price persuaded me to give this Jaguar DQS 377 a chance and I’m so glad I did. I’ve not used it to it’s full potential just yet but I’m impressed with the 4/5 hours I played around with it when it was delivered yesterday.

Absolutely delighted with the Jaguar overlocker. Rang GUR for advice as was considering two or three models. The advice (on several occasions!!) was so useful and I was advised that this model would suit my needs rather than the more expensive one I was considering. Machine came pre-threaded and although I felt intimidated the machine has proved itself to be a perfect companion to my Janome sewing machine. Excellent machine and excellent service.

I found this machine to be incredibly easy to use, as a first time user of an overlocker. The 180° opening really does help with threading the machine, which again, is very easy following the guides. So far I've only used it in 4 and 2 thread modes, but I'm really, really happy with the professional finish that it provides. GUR were really quick to dispatch the machine, I ordered it on a Sunday evening and the following morning I received confirmation that it has shipped and it was received before 11am on the Tuesday. Such a fantastic service.

I had been looking for an M7 as a surprise present for my wife. I had done lots of research prior to deciding on this model as it had so many innovative and intuitive features that would allow her to expand on what she has done so far. She is very creative and is an active member of a couple of local sewing groups. It is a large machine but this was for her sewing room. Adjustable LED lighting illuminates the workspace really well. The large throat space and included extension table mean that room to work is truly exceptional for a "domestic" sewing machine. The 7 inch touch screen is bright and clear, offering a degree background colour preference, screen saver timing, sleep and auto shut down settings. The dual spool holders easily accept various sized spools and needle/ …

Review for: Jaguar DQS 405 Sewing and Quilting Machine
I’ve been sewing for about 10 years, using a mechanical Janone. It is a decent machine, although temperamental when it comes to buttonholes. In a fit of lockdown madness, I bought a Jaguar over locker- having never used one before- and I was smitten. It is a dream. So in a second fit of lockdown madness ( there’s no vaccine for this) I replaced my Janone with a computerised Jaguar. Oh my goodness, it’s another dream of a machine. Buttonholes? Just whisper the word and the machine swings into action. Embroidery and alphabets? I never knew I wanted these. Ordinary stitching? I can vary the lengths and widths precisely. It even threads itself properly. I love this machine, and I’m so glad I bought. It was promptly dispatched by GUR. No complaints.

Beautiful study machine, I wished I had bought one years ago. I was a little apprehensive at first when I had to thread it but took my time and it wasn't difficult, particularly as the front of the machine fully opens. Instructions are easy to read and I'm working my way through an array of fabrics and trying it out. It has made life so much easier to finish seams on soft furnishings and clothes. I bought this on a recommendation and my only niggle is the flimsy catch which holds the thread catcher tray to the machine, which has broken, but not a problem. However, I LOVE IT and use it at every opportunity, a good buy for the price.

I have always been put off (scared) of overlocking machines because of the threading process plus not being skilled at sewing either. But after researching them recently I decided to take the plunge watching a GUR video on Youtube showing how to thread this machine and it was very simple, nothing like I'd been imagining! The price was the best and GUR also had a 12 months interest free option which is always a welcome plus even if you only take advantage until payday. This machine has helped to keep me sane during lockdown by making lots of small projects to amuse myself.

This is the first time I have used a Jaguar sewing machine , having used Singer for the last 30 years. I can say that the machine looks very well made. I have used it to make a summer dress and have found that each setting I have used has worked very well. It is taking me some practice to get used to the start stop button instead of using the foot pedal, but the fantastic thing is that I have a choice of either. I am finding that the information booklet is good at explaining how to use the embroidery section. I love my new machine, It is going to get better with practice for me, but I cannot fault the machine at all.

After completing university 2 years ago ive been on the search for a “proffesional” or “propper” sewing machine to manage my bridal wear projects! Whilst i own a janome domestic machine and have done for over 10 years i can honestly say nothing compares to the Janome HD9. I would highly reccomend, everything about is so glorious! Having used Juki’s at University (machines built into tables) i was a bit apprehensive about how this machine was going to behave! Its solid, high qaulity and able to complete the tasks at hand with ease! If you want a professional sewing machine which you can transport around (its very heavy though) this is the one for you! Very well suited to my dressmaking needs! And thank you to Gursew for a swift delivery, you guys are Ace!…

Review for: Janome 6234XL 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
Bought to replace my thirty year old Bernina Overlocker. Unable to go out and try makes and models. So decided to order online and go by reviews. Not disappointed the machine arrived within twenty four hours. Up and running the same day. Only a few differences from my old machine. I have even had occasion to rethread the lower looper which I did with the help of the DVD provided.

This is my first overlocker, so I have a lot to learn on how to use it. I even read the instructions, a first for me ! So far I have found the threading up process a bit of a challenge, fortunately, to make it easier, its colour coded. I am looking forward to getting to know more about overlocking with what seems a well designed machine, and the service from Gursewing is great.

I bought this machine from GUR as I have been a client for many years and this is not the first machine I have bought from the Company. This one was a birthday gift for my daughter and will be her first. We were worried that it would not arrive in time since the order was placed just after Christmas but as soon as I had confirmed the order by phone it was prepared and dispatched. I was not sure what model to buy and so I asked and was given very sound advice. I live in Italy and was delighted when the machine arrived in good time for the 11 January birthday. We opened the packaging and examined the machine and changed the power cord connection to Italian standard. We ran the machine for a few minutes and it sounded so sweet! We repacked it and presented it on the day so as yet it is …

I requested delivery on a specific day, and was given a time frame. The machine arrived on time.
It was well packaged. It appears very well made.
I made myself unthread the machine straight way so that it didn't become daunting. The threading instructions are clear, and I found it easy to thread; the 180 degree opening front and DVD certainly helped. So far I've only practiced with one stitch in 4 thread overlocking, haven't made any alterations to width or density or tried any of the extra feet included in the package. The stitches are very neat, and look good.
I'm very pleased with both the machine and the service, which have been excellent. Thankyou.

Received my Jaguar DQS 405 very promptly a couple of weeks ago. Was pleased with the quality of the build, and the solidness of the case. Having had a couple of weeks now to try it out - the needle threader is fab - my eyesight not what it was. I have done some straight sewing on it and now learning how to use the embroidery stitches. My old machine is at least 30 years old so using a computerised machine rather different but so far so good. Overall very pleased with my purchase and service from GUR.

Excellent customer service and value for money!..... I finally purchased a Jaguar 489 overlocker after doing loads of on line research and also having spoken to GUR about several models and weighed up their very helpful advice. On receipt, at first I struggled to get the stitches correct, being my first ever overlocker, but having called GUR for advice, I received a phone call from Palma, who talked me through the correct settings, I persevered and sent photos of the results of my test stitches at different settings through, as he suggested. Palma then took the time to call me again and look at the photo samples with me, explaining things very thoroughly. He also sent me the free January offer of a handheld steamer immediately when I queried if I was eligible, so all in all, I …

To be honest I didn't expect much at all from the performance of this machine because it's so basic but on my first time using it I was so Impressed! The first thing i noticed was how quiet it was! I know of many other machines on the market in this price range and also some higher end sewing machines that are not as quiet as this one. This is a quality built machine that is very sturdy and light to carry which would be fantastic for anybody taking sewing classes for example. The first thing i did was stitch out all the stitches available so I could assess the quality of each stitch pattern, not only were they reasonably good quality but the machine sewed so smoothly which I love!

This Jaguar 489 is a fantastic overlocker. I got a real deal and haven't stopped using it since it arrived. It's really straightforward and easy to use. My only slight issue is that trying to thread can be complicated at times, but that's more due to being left handed. Some of the mechanisms get in the way when I'm trying to thread it. Have recommended it to plenty of mates though and would suggest it to anyone reading this review.

Review for: Jaguar 489 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
Until now, I have never owned an overlocker until now. I was trying to sew some stretch fabric, but with a standard sewing machine, it was having none of it. So I spoke to a very helpful gentleman on the phone, I explained to him, the type of fabric I was using and what I was looking to achieve. Immediately he recommended this machine for me. So I went and purchased this Jaguar 489 Overlocker. It is very simple to thread and to clean, even for a total novice like myself, as the front opens up and swings out the way, very smart. You will not be unhappy in any way if you buy this Jaguar 489 Overlocker. I love it, only had it a few weeks, already made 3 shirts, a top from my stretch fabric, and will finish a shirt later. An extremley happy customer!!

I am really pleased with this new machine, i was going to buy a Janome until i read the reviews on this one and i am happy to have changed my mind. The carriage was extremely quick and arrived within a day of ordering, it was packed very sturdy and came already threaded, although i have used an industrial overlocker previously, this is the closest to industrial quality, so i was familiar with how it all worked. I would have no hesitation in recommending this machine and all its features, which i am still trying out at the moment.

My husband bought me the Jaguar 487 overlocker for Christmas. I had been reviewing overlockers since mid November on various sites and YouTube . I don't have a huge choice of item stores nearby and I was a bit dubious of purchasing something like this without having a trial run. I have never used an overlocker before so I really was relying on reviews of other users and purchasers and so know how important it is to get a detailed review of each aspect of the experience. I had been on the GUR website amongst others several times since the summer as I was also looking for a item to restart the hobby of clothes making and household crafting I had let lapse for about ten years.

I purchased my Jaguar from my local sewing centre. I felt I needed the peace of mind that, if I had no clue what I was doing with my item, some one on one assistance might be invaluable. Well, this item rocks. I was nervous about re threading it, especially after hearing the sewing centre lady say some customers go back several times for rethreading help before they 'get it'. I broke One of my threads, I managed to get it re threaded within minutes. I'm thrilled. It does a lovely, uniform stitch and I can knock together kids pyjama bottoms or tops in less than 30mins. All this, from someone who had never even switched an overlocker on 2 1/2 weeks ago. It's a fantastic unit.

Trish has a video showing how to thread it which is brilliant as I couldn't understand what to do with the needle threads. I am learning from scratch really and it's not near as scary as I though.

Janome hd2200 arrived next day via DPD Next Day.

This is such a lovely machine.

It is a heavy base, does not jump around, has a purring sound, has easy function with threading and bobbin winding. The auto buttonhole is excellent and it's easy to change stitches. The stitching and tension has been perfect on all stitches. I really am delighted with this and it sits nicely next to my Janome overlocker. Great product.

I am a beginner to patchwork and quilting, this machine was recommended to me by one of my classroom quilters. WOW have I improved or what, thoroughly enjoyed using the Jaguar 377 compared to my Janome TXL607 which gave me grief and the machine was exchanged and same faults: 1. Foot control not working, machine kept messaging foot not connected 2. Tension problem on the lower side of sewing. 3. Machine was so intermittent one day the electrics okay and the following day the machine will not want to operate. Since I treated myself to the Jaguar 377 I have managed to make 2 quilts which one of them I am hoping to have on display at the Malvern Quilt Show. Thank you GUR for all the help and advice and thanking you for taking my old machine in part exchange.

If you haven't used overlockers very much before, the instruction DVD that comes with it is very clear and very useful - especially for helping you understand the huge range of things that can be done with this machine. It is a well established design from Janome, who must have sold 1000's of these beauties. Tension setup on this machine is consistent and smooth - a real plus! Solidly built and very nice quality I would recommend this machine to anyone needing a good solid workhorse machine. Well worth the price difference compared with cheaper machines!

The Janome 423S is one of the best machines I have ever used. It is made of solid metal and does a smooth job. It has a lot of features that I find come in handy very often personally. There is no bad points for me about this sewing machine: recommended from the bottom of my heart.

Review for: Janome 6234XL 2,3 & 4 Thread Overlocker
Good Points
It is 2 3 or 4 thread (I mainly use 3) easy to thread as it is colour coded. a bit fiddly but you soon get the hang of it. Knife can be dropped easily. Assorted feet for piping, gathering etc.
Bad Points
I can not think of any thing.
General Comments
The Janome MyLock 634D has been my only overlocker. I have had mine twelve years with no problems. I worked in a machine shop when I bought it and I could have had any one. But I demonstrated this as a favourite. Just hope it keeps going for another 12 years
