Free Holiday Bonus Bundle ($99 Value)
Make your holiday sewing even sweeter with a FREE Scissor Bundle included with the Janome SewSwitch 30 Sewing & Serging Machine! This handy scissor set includes a variety of cutting tools to help you tackle everything from trimming loose threads to cutting fabric and handling detailed sewing tasks. Each pair is neatly stored in a stylish Janome carrying case, keeping your scissors organized, protected, and ready whenever inspiration strikes. Whether you're sewing garments, finishing seams, or working on your next creative project, this bonus bundle is a wonderful addition to your sewing room!
Get the best of both worlds with the Janome SewSwitch 30 Sewing & Serging Machine, an innovative 2-in-1 machine that combines everyday sewing and professional-looking serging in one convenient design. Whether you're creating garments, tackling home décor projects, or adding beautiful finishing touches, the SewSwitch 30 makes it easy to move between sewing and overlocking without switching machines. With a simple lever, you can transition between functions, saving valuable workspace and keeping your creative projects moving. Its user-friendly design, quiet operation, and powerful motor make it a versatile addition to any sewing room.
On the sewing side, the SewSwitch 30 offers 30 built-in stitches, including three styles of one-step buttonholes, providing plenty of options for everyday sewing, decorative stitching, and garment construction. The Sensor Buttonhole feature automatically determines the correct buttonhole size, while the built-in two-step needle threader makes threading quick and convenient. With sewing speeds up to 820 stitches per minute, adjustable speed control, computerized function keys, and a start/stop button, you can work comfortably at your own pace. When it's time to finish your seams, simply switch to the two-thread overlock function for neat, professional-looking edges. The serging side features adjustable cutting width and feed length, an upper knife release, and a quick-set lower looper threading system for easy setup.
Thoughtfully designed for convenience, the Janome SewSwitch 30 includes a two-digit LED display, easy-to-use controls, and a detachable accessory case that doubles as an extension table. Remove the accessory case to access the free arm, making it easier to sew cuffs, sleeves, and other tubular projects. A specially designed presser foot helps fabric glide smoothly over seams and thicker areas, while a retractable carrying handle makes transporting your machine easier. Combining the versatility of a sewing machine with the finishing capabilities of a serger, the SewSwitch 30 offers a practical, space-saving solution for sewists who want to do more with one machine.
Two Machines in One
The SewSwitch 30 is built around a swiveling turntable base that holds both a sewing machine and a serger. To switch, simply turn the turntable lever on the front of the machine and rotate the side you need into position. There are no parts to swap, no second machine to drag out of the closet, and no extra outlet to find. Construct a seam on the sewing side, give the machine a turn, and finish the edge on the overlock side in seconds. It is a true space saver for sewing rooms, apartments, and classrooms where every inch of table matters.
30 Built-in Stitches
The sewing side of the SewSwitch 30 includes 30 built-in stitches to cover garment construction, mending, home décor, and decorative work. Choose from straight, zigzag, stretch, blind hem, satin, and decorative stitches, plus 3 buttonhole styles, with a maximum stitch width of 7mm and a maximum stitch length of 5mm. The stitch chart on the machine even shows which presser foot to use for each stitch, so you can set up with confidence every time.
Function Keys & LED Display
Everything you need is right at your fingertips. The easy-to-read 2-digit 0.98" x 0.75" LED display shows your selected stitch number, and the mode button lets you adjust stitch width and length. Convenient one-touch buttons include start/stop for sewing without the foot control, reverse, auto-lock, and needle up/down, while the sliding speed control lets you set the perfect pace for detailed work or long straight seams.
Top Loading Bobbin
The top loading drop-in bobbin makes setup quick and simple. Just drop the bobbin into place, guide the thread through the slot, and close the clear cover. Because the cover is see-through, you can keep an eye on your bobbin thread supply as you sew and avoid running out in the middle of a seam. The needle plate is also marked with seam allowance guidelines to help you sew straight, accurate seams.
One-Step Buttonhole
Perfectly sized buttonholes are just a step away. Place your button in the sliding gauge of the automatic buttonhole foot R, and the SewSwitch 30 sews a buttonhole that fits it, every time. With 3 buttonhole styles to choose from, you can match the look to your garment, whether you are finishing a crisp shirt placket, a cardigan, or a child's dress. No measuring, no guesswork, and consistent results from the first buttonhole to the last.
2-Thread Overlock
Give your seams the clean, professional finish of ready-to-wear clothing with the built-in 2-thread overlocker. Using a single HAx1SP needle that can be installed in either the left or right position, the overlock side trims and wraps your fabric edge in one pass, preventing fraying and adding durability. A 2-thread stitch is light and flat, which makes it ideal for finishing seam allowances on lightweight wovens, knits, and sheers without adding bulk. When you want a delicate edge, the dial-type quick change rolled hem sets you up for rolled hemming with no parts to remove.
Easy Lower Looper Threading
Threading a serger does not have to be intimidating. The SewSwitch 30 uses the same lower looper threader mechanism found on Janome's popular MyLock Sailing Line sergers, along with a specially designed thread guide for the lower looper and needle thread. The color-coded threading diagram guides you step by step, so you can thread with confidence and spend less time setting up and more time sewing. It is a great introduction to serging for first-time overlock users.
Upper Knife Release & Cutting Width
Dial in exactly the edge finish you want with adjustable cutting width. With the left needle position, the cutting width adjusts from 5.3 to 7.3mm, and with the right needle position it adjusts from 3.1 to 5.1mm, so you can choose a wider, sturdier finish or a narrow, delicate one. When you want to overlock without trimming, such as for flatlocking or decorative edges, the upper knife release knob moves the knife down and out of the way so you can stitch without cutting.
Easy Tension Adjustments
Fine-tune your overlock stitches with manual tension dials for the needle and lower looper threads. Each dial is marked with a color-coded dot that matches the threading path, so you always know which dial controls which thread. Easy-to-read numbers make it simple to return to your favorite settings or make small adjustments for different fabrics, helping you achieve balanced, even stitches on every project.
820 Stitches-Per-Minute
Both the sewing and serging sides of the SewSwitch 30 stitch at up to 820 stitches per minute, giving you plenty of speed for long seams and larger projects while still offering the control you need for detailed work. Use the speed control to slow things down for curves and corners, then pick the pace back up on straightaways. Janome also designed the SewSwitch 30 for remarkably quiet operation, so you can sew comfortably at any hour.
Bobbin Winder
Winding bobbins is quick and easy with the top-mounted bobbin winder. Simply place the thread through the bobbin winding guide, slide the bobbin onto the spindle, and push it into position to start winding. The thread is guided evenly across the bobbin for smooth, consistent stitching, so you always have a full bobbin ready for your next project. The extra spool pin and spool holders keep your thread feeding smoothly while you wind.
Drop Feed
The 7-piece feed dog system grips and moves fabric smoothly and evenly for straight, consistent seams. When you want to guide the fabric yourself, simply slide the drop feed lever to lower the feed dogs. This lets you move your fabric freely for free-motion stitching, darning, monogramming, and sewing on buttons. Slide the lever back and the feed dogs return to position for regular sewing.
Accessory Storage
Keep your presser feet, bobbins, needles, and tools organized and close at hand with the detachable accessory case. The openable lid keeps everything secure, so small accessories stay put when you move the machine. A built-in ruler marked in both inches and centimeters runs along the front of the case, making it handy for quick measurements while you sew.
Free Arm
The new half-type extension table gives you a wide, stable surface on the sewing side, supporting your fabric as it feeds so seams stay straight and even, especially on larger pieces like quilt blocks, curtains, and garment panels. The extension table is also the accessory case, so your presser feet and tools travel with it and stay close at hand. When your project calls for it, simply slide the extension table off to reveal the free arm. The narrow free arm lets you slip sleeves, cuffs, pant legs, waistbands, and children's clothing around the sewing area, making it easy to topstitch, hem, and mend tubular items without bunching or stitching through both layers. Slide the table back on and you are ready to return to flatbed sewing in seconds.
25-Year Limited Warranty
Janome America, Inc. will ensure your machine's performance for 25 years from when the machine is purchased to the original purchaser. This warranty applies exclusively to normal household use. The product is covered for 25 years from the date of original purchase against defects in materials or workmanship, excluding electronic components.
