Janome 230DC LE Computerised Sewing Machine

The Janome 230DC LE is an excellent introduction to computerised sewing and is the first computerised model in Janome’s range. Packed with practical features whilst remaining straight forward to operate, it makes a great choice for both newer sewists and more experienced users looking for extra functionality.

With 30 built in stitches, an easy to read LCD display and three styles of fully automatic one step buttonholes, the 230DC LE offers plenty of versatility. Useful features include programmable needle up/down, a start/stop button, adjustable maximum sewing speed and an automatic needle threader. It also comes complete with a hard protective cover and extension table, adding even more convenience.

What Extra Features Does This Limited Edition 230DC Offer?

Easy Set Bobbin Case and Cover

Getting started is quick and tidy thanks to the easy set bobbin system. Simply guide the bobbin thread through the slot in the cover plate and the integrated blade trims away the excess thread, leaving the correct amount ready for sewing. There’s no need to manually pull up a long bobbin thread before you begin. Once the machine is threaded, the automatic thread cutter conveniently trims and prepares the thread tails after each use.

Presser Foot Pressure Sensor

The built in presser foot sensor helps prevent sewing mistakes by detecting whether the presser foot has been lowered. If it is still raised, the machine will not begin stitching. This useful safeguard helps reduce the chance of tangled threads and makes it easier to achieve a smooth, trouble free start to your sewing.

Main Features of the 230DC LE:

30 Built In Stitches

Choose from 30 stitch patterns covering everyday sewing as well as decorative, quilting and satin stitches. Selecting a stitch is simple: use the arrow controls alongside the LCD display to find the required stitch number.

Each stitch is pre programmed with recommended settings to help achieve reliable results straight away. For greater control, stitch length and width can also be adjusted to suit your fabric, project or personal preference.

The machine features three automatic one step buttonhole styles, making it quick and easy to create neat, professional looking buttonholes to suit a variety of garments and sewing projects.

Hard Protective Cover

The included hard cover helps keep your sewing machine protected from dust, knocks and everyday wear when it is not in use. Designed to fit neatly over the machine, it provides added protection during storage and makes it easier to keep your sewing area tidy. The hard cover is cleverly designed with an opening for the machine’s built in handle, allowing you to carry and transport the machine easily while keeping the protective cover securely in place.

Extension Table

The extension table provides a larger, more supportive sewing surface, making it especially useful when working with quilts, curtains, garments and other larger projects. The additional space helps support the weight of the fabric as you sew, giving you greater control and making it easier to guide your work smoothly through the machine.

Ideal for Dressmaking and Quilting

The Janome 230DC is a versatile option for dressmaking, with automatic one step buttonholes that create correctly sized buttonholes with minimal effort. This includes a keyhole style buttonhole for a professional finish.

Quilters also benefit from a selection of dedicated quilting stitches and drop feed capability for free motion work. Whether you're stippling, quilting or experimenting with free motion embroidery, the adjustable maximum speed control provides extra precision.

The speed slider can even be adjusted whilst sewing. Once you've chosen a maximum speed, the machine will not exceed it regardless of how firmly the foot controller is pressed. This provides greater control during detailed quilting, curves and freehand embroidery.

Automatic Lock Stitching

For neat, secure seams, the 230DC features a convenient lock stitch function. The machine can reinforce the beginning and end of a seam with securing stitches at the touch of a button, helping produce a clean and professional finish.
