Choosing a sewing machine

Sewing Machines
For those who sew
infrequently (for
example in Art
Textiles) the Janome
525S (featured on
page 81) is ideal.
There is much debate about the virtues of top loading versus front loading bobbin
systems but we have found that, especially for teaching environments, the top
loading systems give the best experience.
The bobbins are easier
to load, the seethrough plastic cover
has clear threading
instructions and
students can see how
much thread is on
the bobbin without
removing it.
Clear plastic bobbins
are also less expensive
than the metal bobbins
often required for
Janome 525S
front loading systems.
Although manufacturers will claim that top loading bobbins are jam proof, jams
may still occur if the bobbin is badly wound, however the rotary hook system in top
loading machines ensures fewer jams. There is also no need to load the bobbin into a
metal bobbin holder prior
to fitting which can be
fiddly and frustrating.
Which top loading
machine you buy will
depend not only on your
budget but also on the
complexity of work and
frequency of use.
Textile Departments
should try the new
HD2200 which is the
improved model of
the best selling My
Style 22.
Both of these
Mechanical Machine
machines are
mechanical which
means the stitches
are set and controlled using cam-wheels and gears. Stitch accuracy and control
is limited to the accuracy of these mechanisms which, while very good, are not as
accurate as a computerised machine where accurate motors and levers are used to
control the sewing needle.
A computerised machine’s greater accuracy gives a better quality stitch and a
greater choice of stitch type. They tend to be quieter in operation, have variable
speed control and can be used without the foot control making them accessible to
all students regardless of physical ability. Prices of computerised machines have
reduced significantly and now represent
excellent value. The flexibility of
the Janome CXL301 means it is
fast becoming the machine of
choice in all areas of textiles
education.

Janome MC350E Memory Craft Embroidery Machine
Thinking of buying an embroidery machine for your school?
Considering a multi needle unit? Imagine the expense!
Think of the complicated machine set up and software.
Think about how many students will actually gain access to
this machine and the backlog this can cause.
“A brilliant embroidery
machine that has
worked its magic in our
textile department.”
Think again...
Janome’s Memory Craft MC350E provides everything you will need for
all levels of the curriculum.
The MC350E is available at a fraction of the price of a multi needle embroidery
machine and as a result you can kit your workroom out with multiple machines
so that more of your students will have access to an embroidery machine
within class time.
The machine’s on-screen controls are simple and powerful, and the on-screen editing is effortless.
It’s so easy to use that you just need to look at the clear on-screen icons on the easy-to-read display
– no need to spend time scouring pages in an instruction manual!
The optional low cost Customizer design and editing software allows students to create their own
designs which can be stored on memory sticks for transfer to the MC350E. Customizer is licence free
so you can load it on to every computer in the school if you like!
Every student can access the software at the same time making the most of their time in class and adding vital
prep work to their portfolios. Once a design is loaded, the MC350E tells you exactly which embroidery hoop to use. Just
snap in your hoop, load the thread and press a key. This machine makes embroidery so easy, and you don’t even have to
know how to sew! With two hoop sizes included, and up to 650 stitches per minute, it’s great for a beginner but also has the
sophistication and quality finish that an expert looks for.
Want to be even more creative? Our Digitizer software gives you every embroidery option you will ever need including
complex patterns, finer stitching and a much broader range of text.
Not all embroidery machines are created equal, and Janome’s MC350E’s stitch mechanism is so reliable and precise that
there’s no need to keep an eye on it so you’re free to turn your attention to another task!

Carol Hill - New College, Nottingham
The Janome CXL301 computerised sewing machine has 30 pre-programmed stitches,
including 6 styles of automatic 1-step buttonholes. The LCD display makes it easy to see
which stitch you have chosen. A jam-proof, magnetic, top loading, full rotary hook system
eliminates the need for a removable bobbin case, cutting out the risk of lost parts! The
extra needle penetration power of this model lets you sew across heavier fabrics and be
creative with multiple layers. There is also a needle up/down button for selecting whether
the needle should stop in the fabric (great for pivoting work without missing a stitch) or in
the up position, to avoid needle damage.
The extension table detaches for free-arm sewing. Also features a 7 piece feed
mechanism, a drop feed facility, automatic needle threader, speed control lever for setting
the maximum sewing speed and by using the stop/start button you don’t have to use the
foot control.

INFO & TIPS
Replacing your needle is the easiest way
to improve your stitch quality. Change your
needle after 8 hours of use or after each project,
especially when using metallic threads. Damaged or
worn needles result in broken or shredded threads,
skipped or uneven stitches and puckered or damaged fabrics.

The Janome MC8200SE is a long-arm computerised sewing machine which is packed
with advanced features. Choose from over 200 stitches including alphabet and numbers,
plus 10 styles of automatic buttonholes. It has the facility to memorise a combination of
stitches and save them for future use. Patterns can also be elongated up to 5 times the
standard length offering additional creativity. The long arm measures 280mm which
allows the machinist to work on much heavier and bulkier projects than other machines.
This is particularly useful for students working on larger scale projects. This model has a
built-in AcuFeed system for precise fabric handling. The stitch width is an impressive 9mm.
There is also shadow free lighting which is very useful when working with more complex
stitching patterns. There is an automatic needle threader, a speed controller to set your
maximum sewing speed and a stop/start button if you choose not to use the foot control.
It has a lock stitch button to ensure every stitch pattern is locked off at the end and even
an automatic thread cutter to trim your threads. What more could you want?!

Are you venturing into the world of embroidery
or buying an additional machine for your textile
department?
Using the correct thread
You can’t go far wrong by ordering our best selling embroidery machine, the Janome
MC350E. You can read all about this fantastic machine on page 91. Our superb Start Up
Set will allow students to get embroidering straight away and trouble free.
Janome MC350E Start Up Set
To get the best performance and fully enjoy
using the Janome MC350E it’s important to
use the right thread and needles. Although
it’s tempting to use whatever thread
there is to hand, you should always use
embroidery thread such as our SureStitch
Viscose Rayon Embroidery Thread
(pages 66-67). If the thread you use is not
designed for embroidery machines it may
cause puckering and ruin a piece of work.
The same can be said in terms of choosing
the right bobbin thread. Bobbin thread
is strong but finer than the top thread. It
is designed to cope with the speed of an
embroidery machine and balances evenly,
preventing show through on the top side of
your embroidery design. For more Janome
Bobbin Thread see page 75.
Using the correct needle
Get the department up and running smoothly and efficiently with this great value
Machine Embroidery Start Up Set.
Getting it right first time.
We will provide you with the correct top thread and bobbin thread, supply you with the
right needles and even include some fabric stabiliser so there’s no need to hunt around the
department for the right materials. The Start Up Set also contains some thread nets which
keep the embroidery reels tangle free when not in use.

The Start Up Set contains:
• Janome MC350E Embroidery
Machine
• 20 x 500m reels of SureStitch
Viscose Rayon Embroidery Thread
• 2 x reels of Janome Bobbin Thread one White, one Black
• 5 x Janome Blue Tip Needles
• 5 x Janome Red Tip Needles
• 6 x thread nets
• 50 sheets of Stitch and Tear medium
weight iron-on stabiliser - 20 x 20cm
sheets
• 1 x 2GB USB Stick (pre-loaded with
the Double Knit design)
The Janome Blue Tip Needles supplied
with this great package will ensure that the
machine won’t skip stitches or pucker fine
fabric. The Janome Red Tips are designed
to be used with metallic threads which can
be tricky to work with if you use the wrong
needle.

Embellishing/Felting Machine
Embellishing/Felting Machine
Embellishing/felting machines offer you a unique way of creating a variety of creative pieces
without sewing. Instead of using thread these machines felt fabrics and fibres together using
barbed needles which catch the scales on fibres and mesh them together, a technique known
as needle felting. You can use leftover yarn, ribbon and lace, and fabric scraps to create unique
colour and texture combinations that cannot be achieved by any other kind of needlework.

The adjustable differential feed prevents puckering and stretching on certain fabrics but can also be used for creating
decorative gathered edges.

Fabric
Needle Size – Fabric Thickness and Thread Size
Always choose the correct needle size for your fabric thickness
AND your thread thickness.
Voile
Fabric thickness, use:
Silk/taffeta
70/10 - For light fabrics such as silk and taffeta. A thicker needle
would leave holes in the fabric.
80/12 - For medium fabrics such as cotton, linen and satin.
90/14 - For medium to heavy fabrics. An ideal in-between size.
Cotton/linen/satin
100/16 - For heavy fabrics such as denim, tweeds, and upholstery
fabrics.
Also consider thread thickness:
Denim/tweed
With thicker thread you should use a heavier needle however using
a heavy needle to stitch a heavy thread on a fine fabric will leave
holes in your fabric. Instead, choose a medium size needle.
Leather
e.g. heavy thread (usual needle size 120/19) stitched onto cotton
(usual needle size 80/12) – compromise, choose needle size 100/16.
N.B. Make sure you try out your work on fabric scraps first!
NM = metric size designation. E.g. NM100 means that the needle is
1.0mm in diameter measured above the scarf or the short groove
(but not at any reinforced part of the blade).
The system in use for household sewing machine needles is 130/705
H. Household needles conforming to this system all have a flattened
shank for perfect positioning in the machine. All of our needles
conform to this system.
Singer = the Singer size designation which is still in use throughout
the world, and especially in the United States.
Needle sizes are usually written as NM/Singer size e.g. 80/12.

INFO & TIPS
Red Tip needles are designed to penetrate fabric easily, preventing thread
breakage and skipped stitches when embroidering dense designs. The large eye
accommodates heavier threads, pampers delicate metallics that tend to shred and split
and makes needle threading easier. Essential for Janome Memory Craft machines.

Choose the right needle point for your fabric
type.
Sharps - for all woven fabric. Perfect for sewing
straight lines and top stitching.
Ball points - for knitted fabric. The point glides between
the loops of the fabric without damaging the fibres. Stitching
done with ball point needles isn’t as straight as stitching done
with sharps.
Universals - have a sharp yet slightly rounded point and can
therefore be used with either woven or knitted fabric as an
alternative to sharps or ball points.

Sewing Machine Accessories & Spares
A good selection of bobbins and bobbin cases, presser feet, foot controls and light bulbs for your sewing machines. We
also have a small range of user-fittable popular spares and tools. We only list the most popular items as it would be
impossible for us to list all of the spares and accessories for every machine! If you can’t find what you’re looking for
please call us with the make, model and serial number of your machine and we’ll do our best to find them for you.
JANOME PRESSER FEET
In order to make selection of the correct feet
simpler, all Janome sewing machines are divided into
4 basic categories:
Category A – Standard front loading/oscillating hook
machines.
These machines have a separate, metal bobbin case which fits into the
front of the machine. e.g. J3-20, 423S
Category B – Top loading/horizontal rotary hook machines.
These machines have a built-in bobbin holder in which you place plastic
bobbins. e.g. HD2200, My Style 22, Sewist 525S, CXL301, QXL605,
DXL603, TXL607

INFO & TIPS
Sewing Machines
Pfaff Bobbins
All Janome Category B (top loading/horizontal
rotary hook) machines use the same plastic
bobbins. Never use metal bobbins as they interfere
with the magnetic hook system, damaging the bobbin case
and affecting stitch quality. You can use plastic or metal
bobbins in Category A (front loading/oscillating hook) machines.
Bobbins are sized for each machine/manufacturer and vary slightly
in size. Replacing a bobbin with one from another manufacturer will
cause the machine to jam and damage the bobbin case.
Plastic bobbin (light blue). For most Pfaff machines apart
from Expression and Select machines.
