Janome J3-24 Sewing Machine

The J3 series from Janome offers 3 variants, this J3-24 being the top model. The built-in carrying handle makes it easy to lift and move onto a table, it has a front-loading bobbin case and easily converts to a free arm. For maximum protection against knocks, it comes with a hard plastic protective cover.

The Janome J3-24 can sew an automatically sized buttonhole in one simple step, straight stitch, variable zig zag stitch, or any one of the other stitches using the stitch selector dial and choose the most appropriate stitch length and width. There are also 12 stretch stitches to choose, which will help while sewing awkward knitted and jersey materials. 

Threading is no longer a dreaded chore, thanks to the easy-to-follow numbered thread paths, which gets you down to the needle where the built-in needle threader gets the job done in seconds.

It has 2 handy pull-up/push-down spool pins for twin needle stitching and ease of use for safe storage. And because there are 2, you can really be creative using twin needles and some of the decorative stitches. All this plus clip-on feet, a reverse stitch lever, a one-hand thread cutter, and a drop feed facility for free hand embroidery, make it a winner for any sewing enthusiast.

The 3 control dials offer fully adjustable stitch length (0-4mm) and width (0-5mm) settings, which is ideal for quick setup to sew applique motifs or free-motion monogramming.

The extra-height foot lifter increases the height of the foot to allow for extra bulky fabrics. There is no issue when needing to sew heavyweight fabrics or the finest satin, this machine will handle a variety of materials in its stride. 

Loading the bobbin is from the front, with plenty of space to gain access when the detachable storage box is removed. The convenient free arm allows easy access to difficult areas and is ideal for sewing sleeves and trouser legs, with accessory storage in the sleeve arm. 

As the top model in the J3 series, the extra feet are a nice bonus, but the most significant advantage is the hard plastic protective cover. It provides superior protection from bumps and knocks, ensuring the J324 continues stitching smoothly for years to come. 

The J3-24 comes with a range of accessories, including several presser feet, a seam ripper, and bobbins, as listed below, plus we stock numerous add-on accessories to enhance its capabilities, an example would be the ruffler attachment, circular flower stitcher, or a beading foot, all of which add exciting opportunities to the user starting a new project.

Overall, the Janome J3-24 sewing machine is a versatile and user-friendly option for sewists of all levels. It is popular in schools and colleges for its reliability and robustness. Its range of features and accessories make it suitable for a wide variety of sewing projects, from simple alterations to more complex garments and home decor items.
