Stitches

The machine is one of the few machines in the market that comes with fourteen built-in stitches and a one four-step button hole. But, this does not make it any less superior. The stitches are done flawlessly by the machine. It also comes with a thread tension adjustment that is manual.

The machine also has a width dial that makes it easy to select the desirable stitch width. There is also a separate stitch length dial that allows you to adjust the length of your stitches.

Measurement Marking

The plate of the machine comes with measurements that have already been marked. This is convenient to the sewer since you won't have to reach for your tape measure every time or come up with a garment whose measurement is not aligned.

Needle Threader

The Janome HD1000 machine comes with an automatic needle threader. You don't have to strain as you try to insert the thread in the needle manually. All you need to do is to follow these basic steps. Firstly, pull down the needle threader, then place the end of the thread on the hook of the needle threader and in front of the needle. Finally, pull back and the thread would be in the needle.

The Free Arm
