CoverStitch and ChainStitch

Sew a narrow cover stitch, wide cover stitch, triple cover stitch, or chain stitch with ease.

Easy Looper Threading

Simply release the lower looper, pull the thread through, push the looper closed, and you’re ready to stitch.

Seam Tightening System

Janome’s exclusive Seam Tightening System™ employs a spring instead of the looper thread tension dial to reduce slack in the looper thread. This allows for a tight, flat, and sturdy stitch on thick fabrics, and a looser stitch on fabrics that require more flexibility.

Free-Arm Sewing

Finish sleeves, cuffs, waistbands and other hard-to-reach seams faster and with better handling.

Large Sewing Area

4” x 5.5” (100mm x 143mm) sewing area. Such generous space means you can actually make a cover stitch in the middle of a garment.

Quick Reference Chart

Located on the inside of the front door, this full color reference guide helps you adjust for a soft or tighter stitch without consulting the manual. The chart clearly displays available stitches, and shows the tension settings for both soft and tighter seams. A color-coded threading chart located in the looper area means guess-free and super quick threading.

One Hand Thread Cutter

Just like a sewing machine, you can clip your thread tails in one easy motion.

Superior Needle System

Uses the Schmetz ELX705 needle system. Like industrial needles, this special needle has a long groove front and back. It’s more reliable than the HAX1SP needle used in most competitive models.
