Janome J3-18 Sewing Machine

Its a lightweight portable sewing machine with a choice of eighteen stitches including buttonholes and eight stretch stitches for modern stretch type materials. We like the patterns imprinted on the machine front panel; to select a pattern is as easy as "ABC" using one of the two dials, the other dial adjusts the stitch width.

As commonplace with all the J3 series is a front-loading bobbin case which easily converts to free arm by removing the detachable storage box.

This versatile model offers a 4-step automatic buttonhole, straight stitching, variable zigzag stitching, and twin needle sewing with two spool pins. Its user-friendly design makes it an excellent choice for beginners while also meeting the needs of serious hobby sewers.

Threading is no longer a burden, follow the numbered thread path gets you down to the needle where the built in automatic needle threader gets the job done in seconds. When having to sew through many layers like you would when quilting, the extra high foot lifter comes in handy as does the clip-on feet for quick foot changing.

All this plus quick foot change, a reverse stitch lever, a one-hand thread cutter and drop feed facility for free hand embroidery, all add up to make this lightweight Janome J3-18 a great starter machine.

The convenient free arm allows easy access to difficult areas and is ideal for sewing sleeves and trouser legs.

The extra height foot lifter increases the height of the foot and allows for extra bulky fabrics.

The Janome J3-18 has 2 handy pull up/push down spool pins for ease of use and safe storage. And because there are 2, you can really be creative using twin needles.

Easy to thread and operate, this 2 dial machine is simplicity itself. Sew an automatic buttonhole in a 4-step sequence, straight stitch, variable zig zag stitch or one of the other stitches using the stitch selector and choose the most appropriate stitch length using the stitch length dial. There are also 18 stretch stitches to choose from.

It is supplied with a soft cover, instruction manual, foot control and accessory pack, needles, bobbins, screw driver, buttonhole foot and zag zag foot and weight is only 7kg, light enough to lift on to a table.
