Janome is a Japanese brand with a well-earned reputation for reliability, consistency, and value. It's one of those names that comes up time and again when customers ask us which machines tend to stand the test of time — and having stocked Janome sewing machines for over 20 years at Frank Nutt, we'd agree with that.
The range covers a wide spread of sewists and budgets. The J3 Series offers a solid, practical starting point for those new to sewing, while the DC and QDC Series bring computerised controls and a broader stitch selection for those ready to do more. Janome's AcuFeed Flex system — a built-in even feed mechanism that moves fabric smoothly from both the top and bottom — features on a number of models and is particularly useful for quilters working with multiple layers. The Atelier Series sit at the upper end of the range, offering a higher specification for confident sewists, quilters, and embroiderers.
