This machine is a real workhorse. I worked in a tailor shop for years on a Bernina and fell in love with their machines, but could never afford one. This machine is as easy to use and works as well as a Bernina and I have since found out that Janome makes some of Bernina's machines for them, specifically the Bernette.
I just got this machine this week, but I absolutely LOVE it. I have gone through multiple layers of fleece without so much as a hiccup and have also done some finer work on thin cotton material, also without a hiccup.
It is a metal arm & base with some plastic parts. Has a storage box right on the front which is handy, and is very easy to change stitches, etc.
Definitely worth the money. You won't regret purchasing this machine.

With unsurpassed quality, a cast aluminum body, drop feed, a free arm, an automatic needle threader and much much more the Janome HD1000 is quite an impressive machine. The Janome HD1000 is powerful enough to be called a Heavy-Duty Machine (HD stands for Heavy-Duty) yet is light enough to be taken on the go. This machine can go wherever you go and give you solid performance. The HD1000 has snap on and off sewing feet for easy presser foot changes. The Janome HD1000 has dual thread spool holders, a great feature for twin needle sewing. No more aggravation over the tension, an easy to adjust tension control gives you complete control over the tension on the HD1000. The HD1000 has 14 built in stitches including utility stitches, stretch stitches and a simple to use 4 Step Buttonhole. The HD1000 has a free arm so you can sew cuffs, pants and collars with professional results. For those times you need to put your HD1000 to rest there is an included soft cover to protect your wonderful machine. The HD1000 even has a Built-In Automatic Needle Threader- Just pull down the needle threader, put your thread in the hook and in front of the needle, pull back and your needle is threaded! The HD1000 comes with a bunch of great accessories including bobbins, felt, extra needles, two screwdrivers, seam ripper/buttonhole ripper, zipper foot, hemmer foot, buttonhole foot and a hem guide. Many people say "Nothing is made of metal anymore."Well they are wrong! The HD1000 is a cast aluminum body machine. Just like the machines of years ago that lasted forever, the HD1000 is made to last. The HD1000 sewing machine allows you to drop your feed dogs - A great feature when attaching buttons, darning, stippling and other free motion applications. The extra high presser foot height gives you peace of mind when sewing bulky fabric. The HD1000 sewing machine comes with an accessory storage compartment to put all your included accessories. This beauty can sew up to 840 stitches per minute!!!

okay, i think this is my first review of a product ever! but when i was looking around for sewing machines i found it very frustrating that there were not any reviews on some things so i thought that i would do my part =D
first of all, this machine is amazing!! before purchasing this, i was using an older White machine and it was electric...i was always having problems with the bobbin and threading and it not working etc. i have no had one problem since i first started using this machine (about 2 months ago now). i do need to add that this machine sees daily use...we cloth diaper in our family and i have been making an entire stash for my son and my soon to be daughter. this machine can sew through multiple layers of fabric (thick fabric) without a problem!
my favorites:
-no electricity needed for this machine to work
-super easy to thread
-the most amazing bobbin system i have ever used (SO easy)
-very strong, sturdy machine
this machine is mostly metal which is hard to come by now a days...there are some plastic parts but the pieces that matter are metal...i bought an old treadle sewing cabinet off of craigslist for about $40 and this fit into it just fine....i bought a singer sewing cabinet
you will need to purchase a belt separately and they are about $12, you can just google treadle belts and various sites will pop up, they are a standard length and you cut them down to size according to your cabinet and machine.
you wont regret this purchase!!

Heavy-duty sewing machine developed for our Amish customers in Lancaster County. This machine was developed by Janome from the school model S750, but adapted for treadle by removing the motor, electric and adding a treadle handwheel.
