Overview
Not a multi-stitch home machine, the Janome heavy-duty model sews only a straight stitch at very high speed. An industrial-style rotary hook and large side-loading bobbin, a knee lift and a thread cutter suit long quilting and top-stitching runs.
Speed, a big bobbin and a knee lift make long seams and quilting fast. It does only straight stitching and is heavy, so it is a second machine for many sewists.
Who it's for
Quilters and sewists doing denim, canvas and leather top-stitching will use the speed and pressure. Beginners wanting one all-round machine should choose a multi-stitch model.
Pros and cons
- Very high stitch speed
- Large side-loading bobbin
- Auto thread cutter
- Adjustable foot pressure
- Straight stitch only
- Remote cutter sold separately
Performance notes
The rotary hook and pretension threading keep stitches even at high speed. Foot pressure adjustment matches feed to the fabric, and the heavy thread guide handles thick top-stitching thread.
