Janome 360 DC Sewing Machine Review

So, how do you know which machine is the right one for you or a loved one?

There are a lot of sewing machines on the market that are inexpensive and geared towards sewists of all levels. But don’t worry, The Sewing Studio is here to help!

If you’re looking for a great, budget-friendly sewing machine that a beginner won’t outgrow or an advanced sewer will appreciate using, then you’ll want to take a closer look at the Janome 360DC Sewing Machine. It’s well-priced for the features it has and is built to last. It boasts a powerful motor that will help you sew through thicker layers and an all-metal interior that won’t wear out and break over time.

This sewing machine is fully computerised with easy to use press buttons for stitch selection. Computerised Janome sewing machines are great for people who want to get a more well-rounded sewing machine with features that make their sewing experience easier and, well, more fun! Computerised sewing machines are able to be programmed with more stitches than a mechanical machine and more needle positions so that you can easily customise each stitch to be the size that you need.

The Janome 360DC is programmed with 60 unique stitches. That includes 7 automatic 1-step buttonholes. With that many different buttonholes, those who sew clothes will be able to choose the right buttonhole for the project they’re working on. Not all buttonholes are fit for every type of fabric. If you’re using the wrong buttonhole stitch, you might tear the fabric or cause unwanted puckering, too.

This sewing machine isn’t lacking in space, that’s for sure. You’ll find that you have 6 inches to the right of the needle, and it comes with an extension table at no extra cost so that you’ll be able to sew larger, heavier projects easily without fearing that the weight will pull the fabric away from the needle as you work. No one likes wonky seams! And an extension table will certainly help you to avoid them!

If you’re wondering how to step up your quilting game while using this machine, we have a few accessories you may want to include in your purchase.
First, you’ll want the basic ¼ inch foot that helps you sew the perfect seam allowance for quilting patterns with a nifty little guide on the side of it. If you’re interested in applique, you might consider adding the applique foot to your order, too! And, let’s not forget a walking foot! A walking foot is perfect for most projects, especially quilting because it allows multiple layers to feed evenly through the machine, its also great for sewing with stretchy fabrics. There are many other accessories that you can purchase for this machine in order to tailor your sewing experience.

All of these feet are easy to install onto your machine, Janome machines are equipped with snap-on presser feet. You only need to press a little button on the presser foot shank to release the foot that’s currently on the machine, and then line up the one you want to use before slowly lowering the shank to just snap right on! It’s so easy! Though, feet like the walking foot will need to be replaced with a screw to make sure it’s tightly adhered to the machine and feeds as evenly and accurately as possible. Luckily, your Janome 3060DC comes with the perfect screwdriver for the job at hand!
