Janome America
anome America, celebrating its 145th anniversary in 2005, is the largest subsidiary of Janome Sewing Machine Company of Japan, the world’s number one manufacturer of household sewing machines, producing more than one million sewing machines annually as well as a line of related sewing products and embroidery software. Janome is a category leader with an unwavering commitment to design and build sewing machines, embroidery machines and sergers for the home market that; because of their user friendliness, quality and reliability; allow sewing enthusiasts to make the most of their creativity.
Since its founding, Janome has been at the cutting edge of sewing technology, and their machines continue to be recognized throughout the industry for superior ease-of-use and unsurpassed stitch quality. This tradition of innovation began with mechanical models at the beginning of the century and continued through the computer age with the development in the 1970s of the Memory 7, the first computerized machine for home use; the Memory Craft 8000 in the 1980s, the first machine for the home market to offer professional-style embroidery; and in 2005, the ground-breaking Memory Craft 11000.
Janome is proud of its tradition of excellence, but its goal is to be recognized around the world as the leader not just in design and production, but also in inspiration. Through the Janome Online Web site, Janome Digest magazine, Educator outreach, consumer seminars and more; Janome provides projects, education and customer support to inspire their users to participate in the world of sewing more often, with more confidence, and with more enthusiasm. As a creative advocate, Janome never stops working to promote the benefits of creative expression in general and the joy of sewing in particular.
With a complete range of machines and accessories for all ability levels, Janome truly has something for every person and every interest: entry level models, computerized home dec machines, specialized quilting models, embroidery marvels, an entire professional line, and a complete selection of sergers, including the first cover stitch sewing machines. Each machine also offers a coordinating assortment of specialty feet, design cards, hoops, thread, stabilizers, needles and more.
The two newest stars in the Janome galaxy include the Memory Craft 11000, the New Dimension in Sewing and Embroidery, and the Memory Craft 6600 Professional, Where Precision Meets Control.
If you didn’t see the needle and presser foot on the new Memory Craft 11000, you might not know it’s a sewing machine. It has a larger color screen than many portable DVD players. It has five different ways of importing and exporting design files, including a wireless connection. And you navigate through its functions with a stylus, just like you’d use for your PDA. The Memory Craft 11000 is the most comprehensive tool on the market for taking embroidery designs from the digital world and stitching them onto fabric. Another innovation that immediately catches the eye is the moveable “i-height” screen. It’s the first sewing machine screen that moves up or down to give you the most comfortable eye-line while you work.
The Memory Craft 6600 Professional has the largest bed space of any home machine. It operates at up to 1,000 stitches per minute, and includes a start/stop button, an independent bobbin winder, automated thread cutter, needle threader, knee lift, and a bright LCD screen that makes it easy for all 163 stitches to be customized and saved. But at the top of the list of amazing features is the AcuFeed: Layered Fabric Feeding System, which moves layers of fabric under the needle without shifting. Only Janome has the technology to integrate the innovative AcuFeed foot with their unique seven-point feed dog system. It’s truly a complete feeding system. All fabrics move smoothly, even the slippery ones like velvet.
Janome machines are available through their nationwide dealer network. All Janome dealers receive ongoing sales and service training to be able to provide the best customer support before, during and after the sale.
