As always, contact your Janome Canada dealer for details and to arrange a test drive.
Leash + Dog Collar Sets in Two Sizes + Janome 1522RD
Make sure your favorite walkabout companion is sporting the latest style in leash and collar sets. This trendy design has sturdy webbing as a base, gorgeous ribbon for flair, and tough hardware to keep it all secure. With a beginner-friendly project like this, we love how beautifully the entry-level Janome 1522RD performed with precision and power – even through the thick polyester webbing. An all-metal model, the 1522RD has some of our favourite learning-to-sew features; like a built-in needle threader, convenient, front-facing reverse lever, and two vertical spool pins. And that red case colour? Gorgeous!
Featured Accessories: The standard Zig-Zag Foot A is all that is required, but other presser feet to consider include an optional Even Feed Foot and a Quarter Inch Seam Foot.
Just in time for holiday planning, these adorable multi-panel drawcord gift bags are a great green giftwrap solution. Go with a seasonal theme, pick a motif to match the recipient’s favorite hobby or hint at what’s inside the bag. All the stunning embroidery shown on our samples is pulled from Janome built-in designs. We recommend the amazing Janome Skyline S9 to allow you to complete both construction and embellishment with one machine. This model is WiFi compatible and includes five amazing iPad apps to help make your embroidery even better. We call it, “High Tech Handmade!”
Featured Accessories: A standard presser foot is all that is required for the construction of the bags themselves, but if you want to add the gorgeous embroidery embellishment, you need an embroidery-only or sewing + embroidery model; such as the recommended Skyline S9; the samples shown used the SQ14 Hoop and the standard Janome Embroidery Foot.
This colorful cotton wrap gives a new sewer the ability to learn about and apply facings, make a simple square sleeve, create a self-belt with belt loops, and get some fussy cutting practice. Already a pro? Then it’s simply a beautiful project for yourself or as a gift. Our choice for the construction: the new Janome MC9480QCP. It’s ergonomically designed with line of sight access buttons and filled with features to transform the way you sew and quilt. We loved using the extra-wide extension table (standard!), which allowed us to keep the large panels of the garment flat and smooth.
Featured Accessories: The standard Zig-Zag Foot A is all that is required, but other presser feet to consider include the Quarter Inch Seam Foot and/or the Open Toe Satin Stitch Foot for precise edgestitching and topstitching.
Happy Sewing!
