Sew, You want to win a Janome Sew Mini?

It's blog candy time!

If you just stopped by for the first time today, you may want to check out today's four part tutorial on using the Janome Sew Mini sewing machine. (This tutorial will work for most sewing machines because most machine are basically set up the same way.) Feel free to share these tutorials on any of the message boards out there. I am part of four different message boards and everyone is always asking questions about sewing and about this machine. I am not affiliated with Janome in any way. I just wanted to share what I know and help make sewing easier for you.

Part 1- Getting started- Making a bobbin
****
Part 2- Threading the machine
****
Part 3- Inserting the bobbin
*** 
Part 4- Stitching

And, if you'd like to win one, drop a comment here and I will draw a name on Friday morning and announce the winner of their very own brand new Janome Sew Mini!! (I'll have it directly shipped to you.)

Good luck!!
Hugs,
Gina K.

    WOW Gina, your generosity continues to astound me- giving away a sew mini! WOW.

    I never considered one of these before because I have a good sewing machine, but not a great one- but you're right that the paper dust and such means you should stick to something like this for paper (not to mention not having to change the needle constantly).

    Your tutorials were amazing- I agree with the poster on the first post that said you should send them to Janome. Probably the best I've ever seen on "how to get it out of the box and started!"

    Great tutorial series!

    Wow, Gina, that is some awesome blog candy. I have been watching the tutorials as they come in on my email--then head to the site to see as well. I love to sew on my cards, but dragging out the big sewing machine is a chore and then the thread tension gets wonky . . . oh, I could go on and on, but I won't LOL Thanks for a chance to win such a sweet little machine.

    Awesome blog candy. You took the fear out of sewing. I have my mom's ancient machine that weighs about three hundred pounds and have been so intimidated by it I've been afraid to try out sewing on my cards, (well that and I can hardly lift it on the table!). Thanks for this opportunity!

    Thank you so much on posting these tutorials! I received a sewing machine from my SIL that has sat in my laundry room for 6 months now, because I haven't had the motivation to try and figure it out. I haven't sewn in years!!! I can't wait to try this out on my machine! Hopefully even I can figure it out!

    Gina thanks so much for the tutorial, sewing on cards is such an interesting idea. I quilt and I scrapbook separately and know that putting them together creates something really unique. Thanks for giving me some ideas today!

    Wow, Gina, thanks for the tutorials on sewing. I have a small machine that I use for my cards only. The info on the TENSION setting was what I needed to read. Been having problems with that and since I'm not too keen on sewing, that really helped me out! Thank bunches!

    Fantastic! I was looking online for a sewing machine for craft purposes as the one I purchased a couple of years ago was terrible.
    I received an email about your tutorial during my search and am I ever glad I put the search on hold to read the email.
    Not only do I know the sewing machine I have to have, but I have a chance to earn it free.
    Now that's Excellent Customer Service. Thank you Gina for your kindness in not only providing valuable tutorials but also Blog Candy.
    Love this site and have learned quite a bit since joining.

    You did a great job with the tutorial. It must have taken you some time to do it. I did like the tip on not using your expensive sewing machine with paper. I didn't know that the paper would get into the machine like that and I definitely don't want to mess up my Bernina. It would be terrific to win that Janome sew mini. I have been checking on this machine since I saw your tutorials and Hancock Fabrics has it for $10 off the regular price but then you have to pay for shipping if they don't have one local to you. Ugh.

    These tutorials are great. I am a sewer, (is that right, it looks like I go down the drain into the sewer, not that I am a sew-er). Anyways, I have a old machine that was my grandma's and I am nervous about using it for my cards because I don't want it to get clogged with fibres, and not be able to use it for cloth. I have looked for this Janome mini, or something similar, but have not yet found anything. I went to the website to order, but they don't ship to Canada. I even thought I would just pick one up on a shopping trip to Minot, but Minot doesn't have a store, Bismark is the closest store. So, a long comment to say, you rock! These were great tutorials, and I would love to win this mini machine.

As soon as I am up to it I will be looking for one of these little machines.Thank you very much for taking so much of your time to make this tutorial for all of us.

    I don't sew on my cards, because I have a big, old, grumpy not-so-handy sewing machine. It lives in the back in of my closet. Sometimes its happy and makes beautiful straight lines when I'm sewing, then all of a sudden it gets mad, and makes all this crazy loops on the backside. I have given up on sewing, because I don't know, when the machine are in a bad mood, and going to ruin my project. So it would be nice to win a bran new machine, small and handy, and (hopefully) with a better mood

    Gina, you are one of the most generous people I know! Your generosity astounds me.

    I have seriously thought about getting one of these, but I am not a sewer. I think I barley passed Home Ec! Although my DH and I are tall, our son will (most likely) be short (we adopted him overseas.) I keep thinking that I can justify getting a sewing machine to stitch up his pants, then I would have a machine to sew on my cards. I've just been too afraid to make the jump. Oh how I would appreciate winning this machine.

    Wow Gina just when I think you have done the absolute best you come up with something else. As a quilter I already have an old yet top of the line machine which I just figured I would use for papercrafting as well. I never thought of paper dust! hmmmmm going to have to rethink that one especially if I don't win this little beauty which of course I don't expect to but it is a nice dream......

    Omgosh...a real Janome? You know there is NO place to order one of these sweet machines in Canada. I have tried sewing on others machine and I was so excited that I went and bought a $15 used one from our thrift shop only to find it had 2 settings and it ate paper. I have never been so sad in my life. Thank you so much for your informative tutorial. I am totally not a sewer but am definitely someone who wants to be one.
    Thanks for this chance Gina--if you pick me I will make you proud *wink*

    How cool is this?!! I finally did some sewing on a scrapbook page last week. How fun!! I am so hooked. I love that this machine is so small and you wouldn't have to drag out the big one when you wanted to sew on a page. You are such a generous person. I love your tutorials!!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to educate us on the Janome Sew Mini. So many people can be so intimidated to trying something new and because of all your time and effort, you have made something that looks difficult, quite easy. I have found since starting this hobby, that most "card makers" are so generous with their knowledge on cardmaking and willing to share that knowledge with others. Thanks for all the good you do each and everyday on your blog.

    Wow! What an amazing treat for blog candy! I love the look of stitching on paper but have never been able to do it unless I did it by hand (which just doesn't look the same)!
    Thanks,
    Allison

    I was so pleased to find your tutorial on the Janome mini. I have been interested in obtaining one but unable to find a local vendor to see the machine. Your close-ups are excellent. I would love to win one of these sewing machines.

    Thank you for this AWESOME tutorial. I really appreciate how much time you spent explaining everything so beautifully. The pics are a tremendous help! It was especially great to find out NOT to use a regular machine due to the potential harm it may do(I've been using a machine from my Grandmother). Thanks too for the chance to win one of these cool machines. Will be watching your blog for much more great info. Thanks so much, Tina
