Janome M6

Sew or quilt in style with Janome's newest machine, the Continental M6. This quilting machine allows you to customize garments, quilts, home décor, and more with its large work area. The M6 has everything you need in a machine without the unnecessary frills. The 13.71" seamless flatbed provides a slick surface for your quilt projects, and a 7" ergonomically placed LCD touchscreen gives you all the information on the 400 built-in stitches and recommends feet and settings tailored to each. You will power through projects at 1300 stitches per minute with perfect automatic tension, or you can sew any of the 12 one-step buttonholes. See every stitch the M6 offers with the full-intensity lighting system, or create your own stitches with the included Stitch Composer software. This computerized, semi-industrial machine offers ruler work, variable zig zag, bobbin monitoring, stitch tapering, and more for a truly magical sewing experience. Every aspect of this machine has been designed with you in mind, so take your sewing to the next level with the help of Janome's Continental M6 Sewing and Quilting Machine today! Optical Bobbin Sensor 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. 400 Built-in Stitches 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.   1300 Stitches Per Minute 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.   Variable Zigzag 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. EXTRA-HIGH PRESSER FOOT LIFT 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. 91 Needle Positions 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. Computerized One-Touch Needle Plate 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.
