This new baby arrived 3 days after I ordered. Still getting use to it but WOW so far 💛💛

The Janome Continental M6 Laundry Basket Quilt Edition Sewing and Quilting Machine brings together spacious quilting capability, professional-level performance, and exclusive Laundry Basket Quilts style. Inspired by the innovative quilting patterns of Laundry Basket Quilts, this special-edition machine is designed with the advanced sewist and quilter in mind. Its expansive 17.81" all-metal seamless flatbed provides a smooth, sturdy surface for managing quilts and other large projects, while an impressive 13.5" of space to the right of the needle gives you plenty of room to maneuver bulky layers. A streamlined profile improves your view of the sewing field, and the included extension table adds even more workspace while providing a convenient storage drawer.
Explore an impressive selection of 400 built-in stitches up to 9mm wide, including five alphabets, along with 12 Sensor buttonholes and one automatic buttonhole. The full-color 7" HD touchscreen places stitch selections and sewing applications within easy reach, while the auto tension system helps take the guesswork out of achieving balanced stitches. With a maximum sewing speed of 1,300 stitches per minute, the M6 is ready to move efficiently through everything from piecing and garment construction to decorative sewing and detailed quilting. Nine bright white LED lamps positioned in four locations illuminate the work area, while conveniences such as the superior needle threader, automatic presser foot lift, automatic thread cutter, memorized needle up/down, adjustable knee lift, optical bobbin monitoring, and independent bobbin winding motor help create a smoother workflow from start to finish.
For quilters who want greater creative control, the Continental M6 Laundry Basket Quilt Edition is packed with tools for precision work. Rulerwork Mode and variable zigzag support free-motion quilting, while the AcuFeed Flex Plus Layered Fabric Feeding System helps move multiple layers evenly for more consistent results. Stitch tapering opens up creative possibilities for decorative stitching, and automatic one-touch needle plate conversion makes switching techniques quick and convenient with three included plates. The machine also includes the Professional HP needle plate with HP and HP2 feet, advanced plate markings, a straight-stitch needle plate, and a 7-piece Superior Feed System. Combined with its USB port, easy-set bobbin, direct-touch sewing adjustments, extra-high presser foot lift, and exclusive Quilter's Collection Series package, the M6 delivers the space, control, and versatility to take ambitious quilting and sewing projects from idea to finished creation.

For everyone who has sewn a long seam only to find that your bobbin thread ran out after the first few inches, Janome's advanced Optical Bobbin Monitoring System is for you. This technology allows the M6 to constantly monitor your bobbin thread supply while sewing so that you will receive a warning as soon as the bobbin thread gets low, not when it's too late at the end of your seam.

Customize, resize, combine, and save the 400 built-in stitches on the Continental M6. The large LCD touchscreen makes editing easy, and you can make combinations up to 100 stitches long. This machine offers a range of stitches, including utility, applique, heirloom, quilting, decorative, pictograph, and more! Most of them can even be flipped, mirrored, or tapered. Store the stitches in the built-in 3MB memory banks or on a USB drive right from the machine.

You can never have too many stitches! Even though the M6 has 400 built-in stitches, you can use the unique Stitch Composer™ program to create your own stitch patterns from scratch! The program is easy to use, and transferring stitches to your machine is easy using the built-in USB port.

The Continental M6 can knock out projects in no time at all. It has a DC brushless motor that puts out 1300 stitches per minute while still giving you the strength and stability you require. This machine has a full metal frame that keeps vibrations to a minimum, so you get neater stitches and a smooth, high-performance sewing experience.
The Continental M6 includes an excellent tool for creativity: the variable zig zag. This feature enables precision control over the stitch width via the (optional) knee lift! Thread painters will delight in the ease of control of the stitch width. Begin with a straight stitch, then while the machine is still running, press against the knee lifter to widen your stitch to a 9mm zigzag—release pressure to gradually return to a straight stitch for a tapered finish. Don't want a 9mm stitch? You can easily control the maximum width of the stitch setting in the machine's set mode. This advanced control opens up fantastic possibilities for creative expression with free motion quilting, thread painting, raw edge appliqué, free motion monogramming, and more.

When you need extra space to sew thicker fabrics, Janome's M6 has you covered. It features an extra-high presser foot lift. This additional space makes it easier to sew multilayer projects, so there is no more struggling to fit thick fabrics like denim and fleece under your presser foot. You can raise the presser foot about 6mm (1/4˝) higher than the normal up position by exerting more pressure when lifting the presser foot or knee lifter. It also allows for easy changes of the needle plates.

This machine offers 91 needle positions. All these options allow for more detail in decorative stitches and incredible fine adjustments in all stitch creations. You can drop the needle in the perfect spot! And with the 9mm stitch width, this sort of bold detail can be easily appreciated.

Expand your quilting options and take advantage of the vast array of precision templates on the market for ruler-guided quilting. Engage the Ruler Work foot (QR) to follow along the guiding edge of precision cut templates safely. Achieve beautiful and consistent quilting results previously only available to longarm quilters. Check out some of the template rulers we offer here.

Changing out your needle plate has never been easier! The needle plate automatically lifts up by simply pressing a button on your screen for easy removal. There is no need to snap the replacement needle plate in, as the newly designed computerized needle plate system quickly falls into place. And, since the M6 comes with two-needle plates, changing them out for the proper application is a breeze.

Janome's M6 has an on-screen key that automatically lowers the feed dogs so you can quickly switch to free-motion quilting.

Using the optional knee lifter, you can raise and lower the presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free to handle the fabric.

The SFS-i, intelligent feed system, is designed to keep the feed dogs down and out of the way so that you can easily position your fabric. As soon as you start sewing, the feed dogs come up and grab the fabric.

This machine includes an automatic buttonhole foot with a stabilizer plate as well as a button sewing foot so you can easily sew any of the 12 one-step buttonholes your machine offers.

The M6 has one of the largest sewing spaces available on any home machine. With 13.5" of workspace, a total work area of 17.81", more than 3" in the needle/needle plate section, and bright white LED lighting to illuminate your sewing space with shadow-free coverage, your sewing capacity will improve all around. You'll have even more workspace with an added, optional extension table of 26.77" by 15.75". As a nifty little feature, the worktable has a built-in drawer to keep all of your favorite accessories at your fingertips.

Engineered to meet your demands, the M6 provides powerful penetration and needle force, allowing you to tackle heavy-weight home decor fabrics like canvas effortlessly. It'll even power through multiple layers of denim. The newly redesigned motor also provides the strength, reliability, and longevity that you've come to expect from a Janome workhorse.

Janome's optional AcuFeed Layered Fabric Feeding System has long been legendary in the sewing and quilting world for its exceptional precision and power. The system is still removable, but adding and removing it from the machine has become more advanced, adding another layer of reliability and control. After attaching the AcuFeed foot, touch the AcuFeed icon on your screen to engage or disengage the dedicated motor explicitly designed for this feature! Use this system for quilting, seaming, and traditional sewing. Janome's special one-pronged AcuFeed™ feet give precise control for more detailed work, like installing zippers and matching seams.
Are you unsure how to cut your log cabin strips for a 10" block? Let Janome's integrated Quilt Block Advisor do the work for you. Input the number of rows/size of work for traditional quilt patterns like Nine Patch, Log Cabin, Baby Blocks, and more. The Quilt Block Advisor will help you break down each section and provide you with the cutting size of pieces, including seam allowance. Download this Quilt Block Advisor Cheat Sheet that converts the fractions so you don't have to!
Create original designs for borders and decorative effects with the Stitch Tapering Function. This distinctive feature allows you to adjust stitches at 30, 45, 90, and 120 angles to combine and edit built-in stitches. You can taper the beginning and end of the decorative stitch patterns to create sharp corners and points. Tapered stitches can be used with 41 of the built-in stitches.

With an independent bobbin motor, there is no need to stop your sewing or unthread your machine. Set up your bobbin, push the Bobbin Winding button, and keep sewing your seams while the M6 simultaneously winds your bobbin. When the bobbin is full, it will stop spinning, and the bobbin stopper will automatically return to its original position. With the independent motor, you can spend more time sewing and less time winding bobbins.

Janome's Continental Quilting Machine offers a large, color HD 7" touchscreen that is like working on your favorite tablet. The advanced touchscreen shows all the information you need to sew easily. Select new stitches and memorize your favorites for quick access. The expanded Sewing Applications feature gives you guidance for perfecting various sewing tasks, including those that use optional accessories.

Threading your needle just got easier! The superior design of the built-in needle threader ends the task of threading your needle by hand. This time-saving feature allows you to get sewing faster. Its advanced design feeds the thread through the eye of the needle with precise accuracy every time.

Janome America, Inc. will ensure your machine's performance for 25 years from the time the machine is purchased. Coverage is limited to repair or necessary replacement of parts caused by defects in quality and materials. Faults in electrical components will be for five years. One year of free labor by an Authorized Janome Retailer is included, usually by the dealership where you purchased your machine.
