In addition to a fun variety of stitch patterns, many of our Janome sewing machines come with editing options which expands the creative possibilities, and the fun!
Elongation is a very fun feature built into many Janome sewing machine models. Found in the Satin Stitch category, Elongation is an editing function which adjusts the proportions of the stitch pattern, beyond just increasing in length. Stitch width and length can still be adjusted independently, as well to create different effects using the same stitch.
Many Janome sewing machines also have built-in memory capabilities to store and memorize 50, and in some models, up to 100 unique stitch combination patterns. This means you can create your own garment, or quilt labels to stitch out whenever needed. Do the set-up once, save either to the machine or to a USB flash drive, and stitch as many times as you wish. It’s that simple! And don’t worry, this fun, time-saving feature is not just limited to top-of-the-line machines, like the fabulous Janome Continental M17.
In today’s Janome Canada Instagram LIVE, I’ll be showing you some of the fun, fanciful effects you can make using the Elongation function, and Pattern Combination Key.
Join us LIVE at 1pm EST @janomecanada Instagram page every Wednesday afternoon to learn about all things Janome! However, don’t worry if you can’t make the LIVE presentations as they’ll be stored in the feed on the Janome Canada Instagram page and later posted as videos on the Janome HQ You Tube channel.
More information about Elongation and Pattern Combination can be found in previous Janome Life blogs.
