The Janome Embroidery Sewing Machine – It Even Has a Computer Screen – Sewing Machines Los Angeles

You might not readily recognize the name Janome but you should because it is right up there with all the other big names in sewing machines and their products are used by professionals.

The Janome Sewing Machine company started out in the 1920’s and its founder was Ysaku Ose. He pioneered the use of the round bobbin as against the old shuttle type.

You don’t need to actually be a professional to get a professional look from the work you produce using a machine from the Memory Craft Janome embroidery sewing machine range for instance. You will get very good instructions written and video to help you learn how to use your fabulous machine.

The Scan N Sew computer link turns the transfer of designs from your computer to your machine into a simple process. You can store all your designs and retrieve them any time you want to use them.

The embroidery stitch rate is an amazing nearly 1000 stitches per minute, this is very speedy and seeing your design emerge right before your eyes with no real effort on your part is little short of miraculous.

Embroidery areas differ with different models, for instance the Memory Craft 11000 will give you an incredible 9″ embroidery area to the right of the needle.

The screen is huge and it can display an amazing 65,000 colors. The pixel resolution is the same as the latest laptop design. Would you believe it is movable too, you can position it to suit the sewing space you need.

There are models in the Memory Craft range which cater for professionals by giving them extra large screens. You can actually edit and make alterations to the designs on this screen. This ability to alter sections of a design mean that your design scope is enlarged nearly out of sight!

With embroidery sewing machines you attach an embroidery hoop to keep the fabric taut, this is essential if you are to produce a neat result. The hoop remains static and it is the machine that moves around to create the design.

This is an absolutely fascinating thing to watch. You only have to intervene when it comes to changing the thread for a new color.

When you are embroidering you need what is called a stablizer, this is a special piece of fabric which stiffens the top fabric so that the embroidery can be accomplished perfectly. When doing normal embroidery this stablizer is used underneath the design, but when you are embroidering on something that has a nap, say for instance terry towels then the stablizer is used on top to prevent the needle getting snagged in the fabric.

There are different types of stablizer, some are water soluble and this means when you wash the finished article the excess stablizer just dissolves away. The one that reacts to heat just turns to ash when a hot iron is applied.

I have to say that so far I haven’t been able to find any downsides to the Janome embroidery sewing machine because there are so many models, anyone who wants a machine to do embroidery as well as sewing can find the one most suited to their needs.
