Overview
An AcuFeed Flex system feeds the top and bottom layers together on this Janome Memory Craft Horizon, a computerized machine with a touch screen and keypad. A straight stitch plate swaps in by lever, and a knee lifter frees both hands for turning a quilt.
Wide arm space plus layer-matched feeding makes large quilts and slippery fabrics manageable. The package is big, but the listing omits warranty terms and any embroidery function.
Who it's for
Dedicated quilters and garment sewists who handle long seams on fine fabric get the most from the feed system and arm space. Beginners sewing a few hems would leave most of it unused.
Pros and cons
- Top and bottom layer feeding
- Straight stitch plate swaps without tools
- Knee lifter for hands-free foot lift
- Automatic thread cutter and threader
- Heavy to move or carry
- Warranty terms not listed
- No embroidery function described
Performance notes
Even feeding of both layers is what stops quilt sandwiches from shifting, and the AcuFeed Flex system does that from above while the feed dogs work below. The straight stitch plate narrows the needle hole so fine fabric is not pushed down into it.
