Janome Continental M8 Professional Sewing Machine

The Janome M8 Continental Sewing machine is a pleasure to use with ingenious features that take care of the little things without us even knowing, for instance, the feed dogs stay down and out of the way so that you can easily position fabric under the needle, once you start sewing the feed dogs come up and feed the fabric. A Bobbin monitor lets you know when the bobbin is running low. The Motor has been re-designed, to sew smoother and quieter but gives extra needle penetration power to go through the thickest of projects. The area above the needle has been streamlined to provide extra visibility around the needle. Bright white LED lights provide a shadow-free sewing space and a large high-definition touchscreen makes operation easy.

Automatic features like the needle threader, auto thread cutter (scissor button), auto presser foot lift and auto tension give confidence that the best results are achieved. Built-in Sewing applications, operation guides and Janome's Free AccuSpark 2 App, instil confidence that you are getting the most out of the machine.

The M8 Continental has a full metal flatbed and is a long-arm machine with 13.5 inches of space to the right of the needle and an extra-large extension table included. This makes it perfect for larger projects like jackets, curtains and quilts. In the box, you'll find an extensive range of feet and attachments including Janome's Accurate Stitch Regulator (A.S.R)to achieve consistent results when free motion sewing. There are three needle plate options - zig zag, straight stitch and the professional plate with narrow industrial style foot to achieve accurate stitches, easy sewing around corners, precise topstitching and perfect starts from all types of fabric.

In summary, the Janome M8 Continental sewing machine is a great all-round machine that is not only easy to use, it makes light work of achieving professional results regardless of which projects you are working on.
