I just purchased this machine, partly because of your review. I already have a Janome 6600P and a Janome 1100K, both fabulous machines but wanted something I little smaller and lighter as I live full time in my RV and must move the machines a lot . The uten is a great little machine , it's lightweight, sews beautifully and has many great features for such an inexpensive machine. it's easy to use and additional attachments are easily available.> My only complaint is he the lack of a thread cutter and poor lighting in the throat area. Oh, and the needle threader can be a bit fiddly. I would buy it again and recommend this machine. Thanks for a great review.
Just found your site. How are you getting on with this machine? I'm looking at buying one. I have a jenome, so interested in the fancy stitches and embroidary. I like the buttons. Much appreciated.
23/9/23 : Like you, after much umming and arrhing, I finally decided to buy this machine (also with an extension table) and I’ve ordered one today. Your unboxing video was really helpful. You got on with your explanation without wasting words (wish more UA-camrs did the same😊). I would have preferred more camera close-ups to view the screen and stitch options, as well as the accessories, but I’ll soon find out for myself! My Janome doesn’t have variable speeds (apart from using the foot pedal) or needle-up - so both these options will be really useful for me.😅 I was impressed with your presentation so will subscribe to your channel with pleasure. Thank you again.
Hi Jules, thinking of buying the uten 2685a can you tell me how many stretch/elastic stitch programs it has if any, as this is one of the functions required?
ive got this today and dont have the plate thing with the numbers and letters on ontop of the handle can you tell me if you got one with urs thanks kim
Hi. Yes I got the plate thing with mine but seem to remember when I unboxed the machine it wasn’t visible at first and after I’d finished the video I had to hunt for it in the packaging. Hope yours is in the packing too 👍
Hi I too have this machine... But I'm having issues with the button holes... I can't get them to do smaller ones, it does a generic size no matter what I do..... Any ideas???
Hi, I just needed to figure this out lol. You slide the lever at the back of your machine into the feed dog up position and then start the machine and the feed dogs return into the up position. Hope that helps.
I am really pleased with it, I started off using it for everyday sewing but now have it set up for free motion work but miss its extra functions when using my basic singer for general sewing lol. Its a fabulous machine for the money.
@@JulesCraftRoom thank you for responding. I want to get a machine but being retired and on fixed income I do not want to spend a lot but do want a quality machine.
Hello I came here coz i found out there no extra spare of needles for normal stitching do u have an idea what is the number of needle for the normal stiching TIA for ur reply hope u enjoy urs mine not😒😊
Hi, you can purchase packs of Universal needles which work well with most woven fabrics. May I suggest watching Wendy Gardiner on her Craftsy channel for a full in depth explaination. ua-cam.com/video/5ar_eZ5HR4g/v-deo.html
Hi..I purchased this machine from Amazon and the extended table was not included, i had to purchase but the kicker was that the power cord was not included..such a disappointment..delayed project preparation smh..
Hi Tina, That is so annoying, I was fortunate to have the extended table and all the cables included. Just shows not all sellers included everything, I suspect they were trying to make extra money, very crafty and under hand. Hope you got it all sorted with not too much extra expense and are now whizzing through your project x
@@JulesCraftRoom actually amazon refunded my money after I complained about how disappointed I was and how I would have to now rebox, find a shipping location and carry it to the location. So the refund for the machine was ok but I truly wanted that machine. Last time I chkd they were out of stock. And truthfully I'm slightly afraid to order again 🤔...oh I forgot to add that once I did get the power cord, which i ordered separately, the bobbin winder is stiff/stuck..i can not lift needle, it seems like the inside mechanism that controls the up and down of the needle is damaged. How'd that happen?? 😳 n How'd this machine get shipped??
I had to cancel my order because I tried for 6 months to find out what type of bobbin and 90 hours later nobody has any information on the internet about bobbin type. Zero available on Amazon.
I purchased an Uten 2685A and so far is great. However, I dont know how to insert space between words. I hope someone responds to my question. Thank you!
This is not a programable embroidery machine. It has set embroidery designs which at the push of a button it reproduces and it can be used for free motion embroidery.

Thanks for your comments, I'm so glad you found the review useful and you like the machine.
Enjoy your new machine Jules. How exciting!!!
Thank you, yes looking forward to playing with it lol.
Just bought this too, not unpackaged yet, think I'll watch you first 😊
Happy sewing
How have you got on with this new machine? Is that an overlocker and a cover stitch machine I can see? Pauline.
Hi Pauline, Yes I'm loving the new machine thanks, I tend to use it for everyday sewing. So haven't made use of all its functions yet.
can you show how to use the embroidery part please
This is not an embroidery machine. It is a sewing machine with decorative, utility and construction stitches.
There are only a few decorative embroidery like stitches so not a true embroidery machine.
Just found your site. How are you getting on with this machine? I'm looking at buying one. I have a jenome, so interested in the fancy stitches and embroidary. I like the buttons. Much appreciated.
It is not an embroidery machine. Just a sewing machine.
It's really good and such value for money, but like Randy C said it's basically a sewing machine with a few set embroidery stitches.
Is it able to sew fur/faux fur. I make teddy bears?

Thanks for your comment, hopefully you are enjoying your machine and have explored the stitch options etc available.
Hope you enjoy sewing on your machine Jules 🙂
I hope so too! Thanks for watching

@@JulesCraftRoom ive hunted for it its not there 😔
@@nanangrandaelliott2810 oh no that’s so annoying. I think mine was slotted in the polystyrene packaging somewhere.
Thanks for this, I was thinking mine was missing, but luckily I hadn't thrown out the packaging. Found it now. @@JulesCraftRoom
Hi I too have this machine... But I'm having issues with the button holes... I can't get them to do smaller ones, it does a generic size no matter what I do..... Any ideas???
I bought this machine but struggling to run it. Can you help me and show how the teeth come up?
Hi, I just needed to figure this out lol. You slide the lever at the back of your machine into the feed dog up position and then start the machine and the feed dogs return into the up position. Hope that helps.
I’m having the same issue 😫 completely new to sewing machines and I’ve not a clue!
How is this machine working out?
I am really pleased with it, I started off using it for everyday sewing but now have it set up for free motion work but miss its extra functions when using my basic singer for general sewing lol. Its a fabulous machine for the money.

Sorry no sure what your question is?
Can you add your own designs?
Hi Unfortunately not, its not a fancy computerised machine.
It is not an embroidery machine.
Morning x
Morning, thanks for watching :)
