Umm...now that you are done with MY 23+ years old machine (gifted to me by your father), it should be returned to its rightful owner (even though I can’t do what you do with it)! Absolutely NO giveaway! Sorry, everyone! She should’ve asked for permission first. (Who would want it, anyway!) Oh, congratulations on your first major business equipment purchase! Super proud of you! - Mommy ❤️ 😘

HAHAHAHA I’m dead yes ma’am

Hahaha. Mamabear just shut it the f*ck down. Good job, Kiana's mom. I was screaming "NOOOOO!" when she said something about giving it away.

Lol! You said exactly what I was thinking, momma! 😊

Don’t forget to write this purchase off on your taxes!!! Since this is your career (and you have an Etsy store) you can write off any purchases and even gifts (that pertain to sewing, of course). Congrats on the new machine!!

Oh ABSOLUTELY!!!! And thank you!

I have an old juki that I bought secondhand. Didn't think it would be wise to spend a lot when I'm still starting. Works wonderfully still. 💖

I love how she got on the table for leverage instead of putting the box back on the floor 🤣

[@Zoe-lv8bs]

Omg this video makes me so happy

[@JoyandSerenity.]

I learned to sew on a machine that cost £45 new.... yes £45.. I finally bought a new machine last year for £400 and its such a difference :O Mine is mechanical too meaning I also get to press a button and it will lift the foot and even sew for me! Its a great machine but this Juki machine just looks amazing. I did actual industrial sewing for a while and the companies machines were amazing, a knee pedal is just chef's kiss! Pivoting with both hands while sewing and moving the presser foot is a literal dream.

[@nicole.h.c]

CONGRATS!! I just bought an automatic industrial juki and I just love it so much!! Definitely agree with you it’s an amazing brand

[@KianaBonollo]

OOF I WANT ONE! when I have a bigger apartment (and when the dent in my wallet from this machine gets fixed😅) that is NEXT

which one did you get ??

congratulation the new sewing machine. it is beautiful. I'm excited for your new sewing machine. I've also 5 Industrial sewing machine which use for making bag.

[@kotiffy]

Loved your unboxing!!!

[@kbsmith6132]

oohhhh new machine!

[@moebiusdreams]

Make sure to try the knee lift, it’s even better than the button. And set your multifunction foot controller to either back stitch or thread cut. The best of three machines I’ve bought too. Including a babylock aria.

[@Marialla.]

To slide your sewing machine more easily across your desk, I recommend setting it on a thin flexible cutting mat from the Dollar Store. You get two in a package for a dollar. You can cut it to a convenient size with scissors. I love how easy it makes it for me to slide my machine where I need it, since my sewing desk is also my computer desk and I have to keep my space flexible.

[@rosendofernandez7146]

I hope I can get your old sewing machine. I watched your videos for making clothes for my dolls as my inspiration hehe. Fan from the Philippines. 💛

going through uni from an old sewing machine that can't even change the stich length to a brand new machine with so many functions???? the best feeling in the worlddd

[@KianaBonollo]

It does indeed feel QUITE good

[@ThimbleBook]

Have you ever considered keeping your old machine as a backup? Just a thought as sometimes the main machine needs to go in for servicing. Happy sewing and congrats on the new machine!!!

[@kyravieser]

wow congrats! i have a pretty basic machine, a brother xm2701. also i am doing an upcycing collection with almost the same colors as your senior collection! i hope to go to any kind of fashion colllege when i am older. Wish me luck 😂

[@KianaBonollo]

They are fabulous!

[@JunkieVirus]

Juki is the number one sewingmachine maker. they are the biggest in the fashion world. super reliable, very good engines in them digital self thinking pressure foot and so much more. the most beautiful one is the straightstitch machine 9000C. the one you have, if you give it some maintenance every couple years is gonna survive you.

[@nathalieravaoary5016]

Hi kiana, I have been doing some research, and am looking to buy the same model. I bought the Juki Hzl-F400 on Amazon and had to return it twice because I found the external parts to be plastic and of poor quality. Both machines came with broken parts. So, with the machine you have, how has it performed since the day you bought it? Would you still recommend it today? Would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you ♥️

[@deborahbonollo7600]

That looks like a very nice Machine. Do not give the old machine away you may need a back up at some time. Clessie did only pay a little for the machine because back 20 years ago the prices were a lot less than they are today

[@imaniuniverse6478]

I’m wondering. This is a quilting machine right? I wanna get this one but not sure if it’s best for non quilting uses, thanks!

[@pear1386]

because of how much presser feet there are included, it probably did raise the price. Because most (good) presser feet are 10-15 dollars and there were 15 of them so that’s like at-least $80-100 but compared to the price of the juki machine, it’s not that much.
