Overview
A home sewing room shared by a beginner and a seasoned sewist suits this Janome computerized machine. Its screen shows the right presser foot and default settings for every stitch, and direct select keys reach the common ones in one press.
On screen guidance removes guesswork, and the automatic cutter and start stop button speed a long session. Quilters will need to buy a walking foot and an extension table separately.
Who it's for
New sewists learning which foot goes with which stitch will lean on the screen. Quilters doing large projects need extra accessories.
Pros and cons
- Screen shows recommended foot
- Twenty direct select keys
- Automatic thread cutter
- Seven piece feed dog
- No walking foot included
- No extension table
- Manual thread tension
Performance notes
Even feeding comes from the seven piece feed dog and an adjustable foot pressure dial, which suit fabrics from chiffon to denim. A die cast internal frame reduces vibration at speed. The screen speeds setup by showing default width and length for each stitch.
