25 Built In Stitches:
This sewing machine includes the necessary utility stitches, as well as fun decorative stitches to keep your creative juices flowing. Embellish your projects with heirloom stitches, lovely scallops, or fun and funky zig zags.

1 Step Automatic buttonhole:
You'll never go back to the days of 4 step buttonholes once you've experienced the ease and precision of 1 step buttonholes. Simple insert the button, pull down the button lever, and press go. It's really that simple!

Free Arm:
A must for cuffs, collar, and hems. Circular sewing is easier and more accurate when done on a free arm. This convertible sewing bed also doubles as a built in storage container. No more losing all those tiny bits and pieces.

Drop Feed Dogs:
This feature is a must have for quilters. Simply drop the feed dogs for free motion quilting or darning. Once you're finished, re-engage and start sewing again.

Reverse Stitch Lever:
Lock those stitches in with the press of a button. Located within finger-reach, this little button prevents your stitches from coming undone.

Adjustable Presser Foot Pressure:
Not all fabric uses the same presser feet pressure. Expert sewists know that having the proper pressure while sewing can make or break a project.

Top Loading Bobbin:
With the clear cover, you are always able to see your bobbin. No more guessing how much thread it left, because you can see straight through the cover. Installing the bobbin takes mere second and can be switched with the needle down.

25 Year Warranty:
We doubt you'll need it, but for the peace of mind Janome includes a 25 year warranty on all their machines. Know that Janome makes quality parts and is built to outlast that warranty.

Time Saving Features

Built In Thread Cutter:
One hand thread cutter saves you the time and frustration of looking for those tiny thread nippers.

Automatic Needle Threader:
Go ahead and throw away that magnifying glass and save your eyes the constant headache of squinting to thread your needle. With this feature, you'll be able to thread your machine in seconds.

Snap On Presser Feet:
These easy to install feet come in a huge variety. They are usually much cheaper than standard low shank feet and turn tedious tasks in to fast, 1-step tasks.
