You'll find 60 stitches including six one-step buttonholes, keyhole, round top, stretch plus no need to reversed stitch at then end of each run of stitching, use the automatic lock stitch to tie off your threads at the end of your sewing. Also the 360DC incorporates Janome's exclusive superior feed system, ensuring even, stable feeding with any fabric. With many time saving features including memorised needle up/down, one hand needle threader, and lock stitch button make sewing easy plus just for quilters, 17 cm of space for fabric to the right of the needle.
We use this machine a lot and find it sews with precision and confidence no matter what type of material you present it with, thick denim and leather or thin silk. When being used for dressmaking buttonholes are sewn in one step at the touch of a button, you simply attach the button in the back of the foot and hey-presto a perfect buttonhole to match the size of the button you've chosen. Now consider of using this on the next antique basque project needing 20 buttonholes..! each button hole will be accurate and the exact same as the last.
One of our images shows how clear and easy to view the LCD screen is even at the angle the picture was taken, you don't have to adjust your seating position to see the screen, also while seated you will notice the cleaner, less bulbus front section which gives a first-rate view of the sewing foot for improved and more actuate quilting.
To select a pattern, simply use the buttons to bring the stitch corresponding number on to the LCD screen, it will be pre-set and ready to sew out, however you have the option to adjust the width up to 7mm wide and length up to 5mm.
Its a top loading, jam-proof bobbin with clear plastic bobbin cover, this allows you to easily check the amount of thread left on your bobbin. Pull off the free arm extension table incorporating a storage compartment, it allows for tubular sewing tasks.
It has a powerful DC type motor with extra needle penetration even at slow speeds, the Janome 360DC lets you sew across heavier fabrics or multiple quilting layers without any drama. Also quilters will like its adjustable foot pressure to fine tune the fabric feeding.
