ALL the thread painting and decorative embellishment in this pic was done using our exclusive NEW Variable zig-zag feature. Thank you, Debbie, for this great sample.
OK this is a special one – a JANOME MC12000 EXCLUSIVE FEATURE. We do not think any other machine offers the ability to do zig-zag in the FREE MOTION mode using the knee lifter to vary the width of the zig-zag. We think this is simply the coolest feature to hit the sewing scene. THINK NEEDLE PAINTING…..THINK THREAD SKETCHING…….THINK INCREDIBLE NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR EMBELLISHMENT.
In the above pic, notice the pear: this was done using the variable zig-zag feature which is a free motion function. Use the knee lifter to vary the width of the zig-zag and create wonderful thread painting or thread sketching as in our pic. If you needle paint with a straight stitch it is the equivalent of trying to colour in with a pencil. BUT use a nice paint brush and see how much more quickly an area gets covered by paint & colour. THIS is the value of having a variable zig-zag as your free motion “painting” gets done so much quicker and much more artfully.
Want straight stitch – just leave the knee lifter in “off” position.
Want nice wide sweeping zig-zag stitches? Just move your knee to control the width of your stitches.
Want wide open zig-zag stitches – just move your fabric quickly & smoothly.
Want dense satin stitches? Just slow down and more the fabric slowly.
Could NOT be simpler.
Doesn't this open up EXCITING new possibilities for you in your sewing journey?????
That was FAV feature #10 and I am SO not done! I have so much more to say about this great machine…………………..so stay tuned. I will be back with more exciting features.
