Review on the Janome AT2000D air threading serger:
Love at first sight!
The first thing you will notice when you approach Janome’s new 2000D air threading serger is the magnificent lighting. The machine is equipped with __ L.E.D lights for a wonderfully lit work space.
Under this lighting you will be able to tell the difference between black and dark navy blue threads and fabrics! This also makes the machine much more energy efficient than machines with standard bulbs.
The second thing that will catch your attention on reviewing the Janome air threader is how easy the machine is to thread! The upper and lower looper thread with a special air pump system. All you have to do is load the thread into the ports and push a button and air pushes the thread all the way through to the eyes of the loopers. There is also a built in needle threader that can be used for threading both the left and right needles!
It is also a breeze to switch the machine from a standard serger stitch to a rolled hem. You can change the needle plate and the tension with a flick of a couple switches! The Janome 2000D is also very easy to raise and lower the cutting blade and change the cutting width.
Review note: No doubt some people will say that the AT2000D Air Threader serger is a bit on the heavy side so it is not as portable for taking to classes etc., however, my take on this is that the machine is built to last with a cast aluminum frame, extra thick needle plate, metal drive components, steel drive shafts, extra thick loopers, 8 piece metal feed dog system and a high lift cutting blade! The high lift cutting blade is great for cutting any type of fabric, even silk, terry cloth and polar fleece! The new Janome air threader is a heavy Duty serger, so it weighs more than a lightweight all plastic machine. I Love it!!
The main driveshaft of the Janome AT2000D is equipped with 2 ball bearing assemblies.
"Left & Right" As Janome's flagship top of line serger, it was all about quality.
Ball bearings serg faster, smoother, quieter, and last longer. Each side of the bearing mechanism
is equipped large with 20 individual bearings. More bearings equates to a ultra smooth serging experience.

Review Janome AirThread AT2000D
Tedious threading of upper and lower loopers are a thing of the past. Simply insert the thread into the specially designed ports and your thread is transported to where it needs to be with an easy push of a lever.
