Usability

The first thing worth mentioning about the Toyota JFS18 sewing machine is that it is extremely easy to use and to set up. This machine has a good speed control, a good selection of stitches to get you going and is very sturdy. The Toyota JFS18 is quite obviously a very simple machine as it comes with a single dial stitch selection of the 18-stitch types, a 4-step auto buttonhole feature and easy threading system all of which are suitable for less-complicated projects.

This machine is great for hemming and will have no problem with jeans, curtains and cushions. In fact, the removable plate makes hemming trousers that much easier. Nice one!

The instruction manual is worth a mention here as it is not laid out per language, as one would expect, but per section which means that you will be flicking back and forth through the pages and languages per section looking for an answer. When you do locate your desired instructions or troubleshooting points, they are very comprehensive and helpful.

Features

With a three-year warranty, the Toyota JFS18 sewing machine is sturdy and will last for a very long time. This machine is more than capable of providing daily sewing time and with the variable speed control, high lift foot, and front-loading bobbin it’s easy to simply get started right out of the box. It also comes with the option to switch from flat-bed sewing to free arm easily which is extremely useful.

The 18 stitch options let the user create many different types of stitch which is good for different fabrics and furnishings. Although the unit is not recommended for heavy-duty fabrics, it’s more than sufficient for curtains, clothing and soft furnishings.

The only let down with this machine is the sewing machine cover which is little thicker than a shopping bag so you may need to order a bag separately or even throw an old blanket over the machine when not in use.

Conclusion

For those of you who are just starting out, the Toyota JFS18 sewing machine promises to be an ideal partner. It’s simple to use, easy to set up and lightweight so you can store it away when it’s not in use. The long warranty, flexible sewing and stitching opportunities make it versatile and coupled with the extra accessories and foot attachments that come with it, you can use it just minutes after opening the box.
