Overview
Piecing patchwork, hemming trousers and quilting layers are what this Janome computerized machine is set up for, with a walking foot and a quarter inch seam foot in the box. A one-hand needle threader, thread cutter and speed slider speed up each step.
Quilters who travel to classes get a light machine with a hard cover, an extension table and a feed system that moves layers without shifting. The stitch library is moderate, so heavy decorative work is not its focus.
Who it's for
Patchwork, garment repairs and quilt tops suit the feed system and included feet. Embroiderers and those after hundreds of decorative stitches should look at a larger model.
Pros and cons
- Walking foot and seam foot included
- Hard cover for travel
- Feed system prevents shifting
- Stitch memory and speed control
- Moderate stitch library
- No embroidery capability
- Bonus quilt kit contents not listed
Performance notes
Even feeding comes from the multi-piece feed dog and Superior Plus Feed System, which move silks, knits and layered quilts without shifting or puckering. Adjustable presser foot pressure fine-tunes that grip for each fabric.
