I have the HD9 it's totally amazing. I just cant fault it. It's so powerful it seems unstoppable. It's also hard to screw up as it is so forgivable of my mistakes.
I think many people use their sewing machine, to make item's that are too bulky, or thick for their machine.This could be problematic for their machine. That's why I am so glad, that you introduced us to these two machines. These machines are both workhorses, durable, & reliable. Thank you for enlightening us all.
The HD9 is the best machine as I am an owner of one it’s a phenomenal machine! And you did not stress enough that the HD9 will accommodate thicker threads with the dual threading system. Everyone always wants to underplay the HD9 and I don’t know why … cost??? 🤔
Hi My presser foot for my HD9 is really tight I am trying to sew a leather handbag but the feed dogs are scratching up the leather. How do I release some of the pressure on it
Hi Christine, The dial on the very top, above the take up leaver will be the one you adjust. If you turn it anti-clockwise it should reduce the pressure. Any further issues, feel free to get in touch.
Well, you'd buy a leather needle! And the needle size depends entirely on the thickness of your leather! ie are you making a stout suitcase, or some dainty gloves. The former will require a stronger,thicker needle, obvs. If I were stitching leather by _hand,_ I'd only ever use a linen thread (waxed), but linen thread doesn't perform well in a sewing machine on leather goods, so you're best off getting a brand like The Leather Machine Company's _Bonded Nylon thread,_ which thankfully comes in a wide range of colours.
It's nice to know we don't have to use a hole punch and hand stitch or use an industrial machine to sew leather. I'm glad you shared this.
Hello, Glad we can show you that there are some domestic machines which can handle leather. Happy Sewing!

I totally agree as an owner of the HD9 also!
Glad you stuck to just two options. I feel as if any time I ask a question, I get a top 10 list or more.

Quite daring sewing over those pins Ana. Thanks for the demonstration.

Great topic, thanks for sharing it 👍
Enjoyed watching your informative video. It seems that Janome HD9 is a bit loud. Can you comment? Thank you.

What thread, and needle size, thank you.
