Celine is back LIVE every Tuesday at 3pm EST on the Janome Sewing Machines Facebook page for an entire month of sewing fun and education to help you get the most from your Janome machine!
Today, Celine will show you how to get extra dimension in your quilted projects. Learn about the different types and thicknesses of batting, as well as little tips and tricks which help make the quilting process easier and more fun!
Any Janome machine is capable of quilting, which is typically stitching through 3 layers consisting of a backing fabric, batting and top fabric. This is sometimes referred to a quilt sandwich. As we quilters know, quilting and food go hand in hand, lol!
Did you know you can also use your embroidery machine for quilting!? Janome also developed the amazing AcuFil Quilting process where we can turn our embroidery machines into quilting machines by quilting in the embroidery hoop! Celine will share the details!
For traditional quilting on the sewing machine, machines like the Janome Continental M7, with it’s very generous throat space and worksurface were definitely built with quilting in mind. However, I personally quilted many quilts on my first Janome machine, (bought 30 years ago) which is less than half the size! It is an early predecessor of the Janome HD1000, which is the model available today, pictured below.
Yes, I had to roll up my quilts more and reposition them more to pass through the smaller throat space, but it certainly can be done. All Janome sewing machines have an extra-high presser foot lift, and an Even Feed, or AcuFeed Flex foot available for them, which makes feeding the layers easier and more consistent.
As you see, quilting can be done on many different machines, in different ways with different techniques. Janome brings you that versatility!

When I Google that model number, a machine which looks much like the current 5300QDC model. I found videos from 2016, which is really not that old. The QDC range of machines are more similar than they are different, so any videos and accessories which feature the QDC machines will be of benefit to you. Happy Sewing!
