Janome 9450 QCP Sewing Machine Review

Are you looking for a sewing machine with great space, fantastic lighting, and a little bit of everything that every sewist dreams of having in a sewing machine?

Then do we have a machine for you! The Janome Memory Craft 9450QCP Sewing Machine is a great machine for anyone who is serious about sewing. Anyone from professionals to hardcore hobbyists will love sewing on this sewing machines like this - especially quilters!

The Janome 9450QCP comes with 350 stitches already programmed in. That includes all of the necessary utility stitches, decorative stitches, alphabets, 11 automatic 1-step buttonholes to suit every garment project you put to your machine, and many different applications that really make your sewing experience easy and much more fun! You’ll be able to customise your stitches with a maximum stitch width of 9mm and length of 5mm.

We especially love the quilting applications that you’ll find on this machine. There are applications programmed in for patchwork and chain piecing that measures your stitches with the first piece you feed through the machine to sew that exact same length on every following piece you feed through the machine without you having to think about it. That makes chain piecing a breeze! And it presets your machine to a 1/4-inch seam to use with your patchwork foot (the O foot) for a perfect 1/4-inch seam every time! There’s also an application that makes ruler work easy to set up and sew. You’ll also find apps for basting, decorative quilting stitches, and so much more!

There are other applications, too! Need to sew a blind hem? There’s an app for that on the 9450QCP! Are sewing zippers the bane of your sewing existence? The application for zippers will make your work so much easier!

One of our favourite features of the higher-end Janome sewing machines is that they come with a built-in even feed system. Accufeed Flex acts like a built-in walking foot, but more accurate! Since it’s built into the machine, it’s timed perfectly to feed fabric with the bottom feed dogs through the machine at the same rate. No more accidental puckers or skewed piecing with Accufeed! And it’s not confined to just one kind of foot. Accufeed feet come in many shapes and functions, including a zipper foot!

Another thing we love about the 9450QCP sewing machine is something you’ll try and never want to come back from. This machine has an automatic thread cutter, yes, but there’s something that makes this automatic thread cutter, in particular, extra special. It’s made even better by the remote that connects to the sewing machine’s foot control. That’s right- you can cut your threads with the touch of your toe!

The Janome 9450QCP Sewing Machine is really built with the sewist in mind. Saying it’s well-lit is an understatement! On the throat of the machine you’ll find 3 LED lights. Around the needle are 6 more LED lights so that you can really see what you’re working on. And something extra? There’s an adjustable highlight on the front of the machine. You can pull it out whenever you need that extra bit of lighting, or put it away when you don’t need it. The head of the light rotates a little bit so that you can shed light on whatever part of your work you need to. This adjustable light is truly a game changer!

It also has a large workspace, fit for any quilter working on large projects. The 9450QCP has 11 inches of workspace to the right of the needle! Only one other home sewing machine in the Janome family has more space than that. That’s enough space to quilt large quilts and easily work on smaller projects. It’s perfect for anyone that like to have just a little bit extra space.

Now, we know that you’ll love the Janome 9450QCP Sewing Machine as much as we do, especially when you take it out for a test run. This machine is truly something special and we can’t wait to see what you create with it!
