Model overview based on user reviews
The Janome 1200D coverlock machine receives mixed reviews from users. Many appreciate its ability to produce high-quality overlock stitches and its reliability compared to other brands. Users highlight its ease of operation and the joy it brings when sewing, especially with the right threads and needles. However, several users report difficulties with cover stitches, noting the need for frequent adjustments and the machine's sensitivity to thread and needle quality. Some find the instructions for threading cover stitches confusing and mention that switching from overlock to coverstitch can be time-consuming. Despite these challenges, many users are satisfied with its performance over the years, emphasizing the importance of a test drive before purchasing to ensure compatibility with personal sewing needs. Overall, while the Janome 1200D is praised for its durability and stitch quality, potential buyers should be prepared for a learning curve and occasional adjustments.

I’ve been working on it for 12 years. I don’t need a better car. High-quality stitches, wide machine capabilities, easy and quick changeover from one mode to another, easy threading, enormous pleasure while working. Flat seams with decking are excellent. Sometimes it gets capricious on flat seams, but not critical. Depends on the fabric. I picked up the needles and the problem disappeared. I sewed with friends on exactly the same machine, the machine was stiffer and ran worse. Depends on the build quality.  Larisa: use Janome 1200D more than year |
I think that it is not worth its cost, since it does not fulfill all its functions. I believe that sewing should be a pleasure and not spoil your nerves. If you decide to buy, make sure that there is a service center near you or you can return the goods at guarantees. Sews all overlock stitches well, without additional settings. Cover seams are difficult. You have to constantly adjust the thread tension, select the strongest threads, change new needles. Sometimes without adjustments you can sew a few centimeters, and then the threads break or skip stitches. You need to have a lot of nerves to sew cover seams on this machine .I didn’t even try to sew the top cover seams, because... another looper device is added there, and if the machine does not simply sew cover seams, then one can only guess what will happen to this device.  Olga: use Janome 1200D few months |
I'm very satisfied. I've been sewing for more than 2 years, and I have never regretted buying it. I have been using it for more than 2 years. I personally like this model. It is easy to operate when you have good threads. After all, it's not a Chinese serger that broke after a month of using it. In general, I prefer the Janome brand!
