I've Opened Thousands of Sewing Machines — These 7 Are the SAME Machine Under Different Names

Two sewing machines can come out of the same factory with the same frame, the same hook and the same motor, and one of them costs you more because of the word painted on the front. After 44 years behind a sewing machine repair counter, I've had thousands of machines open on my bench, and on a lot of them the cover was the only thing that changed. In this video: 1. Baby Lock Joy, Janome TM16 and Elna Elnita EM16 2. Baby Lock Jubilant and Brother NS80E 3. Baby Lock Presto Two and Brother PS500 4. Elna eXcellence 792 Pro and Janome Continental M8 Professional 5. Janome 1600P, Pfaff GrandQuilter and Husqvarna Viking Mega Quilter, plus who really built your mother's Kenmore 6. Baby Lock Solaris and Brother Luminaire 7. Elna eXcellence 720 Pro and Janome MC6700P, with the presser foot test Along the way I show you how to compare sewing machine brands, read the model plate, and ask a dealer the right questions before you buy. Go look at your own machine right now. Type the brand on the front in the comments, and if you know who really built her, type that too. If you sew on something older than your car and you're tired of being upsold, subscribe. Every week I tell you what 44 years behind a repair counter taught me, the things the box and the salesman leave out. So what are you really paying for when you pay for the name? Sometimes a dealer who'll teach you, a warranty somebody local will honor, and a bench in your town that knows her. Sometimes nothing but paint. Read the plate, read the spec sheet, check the feet, and then pay for the badge on purpose. #SewingMachines #BabyLock #Janome #SewingMachineRepair
