Description

Janome Continental M17 High-Definition Embroidery

Janome Continental M17

Janome Continental M17 has the largest embroidery area on the market! The largest hoop has a gigantic 11” x 18.1” embroidery area, giving you room for larger projects without needing to re-hoop or turn the hoop.

Janome Continental M17

Janome’s expertise in robotics is clearly shown in the making of the industry’s most advanced embroidery unit. This Gantry-crane-style embroidery carriage is structured to give greater precision and durability.

Janome M17 Embroidery Unit

For the first time ever, a full aluminum casting gives support from the front, back, and above. It has 3 linear guides and 23 bearings, including 12 ball bearings and 11 sets of needle bearings. The motors are also brushless DC motors, which have 350% longer life than traditional motors that are used in embroidery units. By building an embroidery unit that has quality second to none, it is the fastest embroidery machine in the industry, reaching speeds up to 1200 spm.

Carbon Fiber Hoop

The largest embroidery hoop is reinforced with carbon fiber. Using this material provides 10 times the strength of iron and yet weighs 75% less.

The Janome Continental M17 comes with 5 embroidery hoops that are spring loaded and have a special hoop-tightening lever on both ends. This results in a more secure hold of your fabric. Also, it is much easier to hoop and remove your fabric regardless of the thickness.

  Embroidery hoop lock

The hoops slide effortlessly into the M17’s hoop lock, where the machine recognizes the size of the hoop. The M17 will warn you if it’s not the correct size for the design.

Janome M17 includes 1230 designs

The Janome Continental M17 has 1230 built-in embroidery designs. This includes many from exclusive designers. The designs are easily accessed from the color touch screen. You can edit, combine, adjust color, and add text easily from the embroidery edit mode on the machine.

Embroidery Position Marker

Laser light for embroidery positioning

A JANOME FIRST!

The embroidery positioning light is activated by touching an icon from the screen, shining a precise red light at the needle position. This gives you more accuracy for the alignment of multiple designs and embroidery placement.
Acu-Stitch Regulation

The most advanced stitch regulation system (A.S.R) ever developed is now included on the Janome Continental M17!

Janome Continental M17 with Acu-Stitch Regulation with Ruler-Work

Utilizing an optical sensor and positioning it higher, this stitch regulator provides more accuracy and covers a much larger area than any other machines on the market. It detects more intense motions, colors, and a wider range of fabrics than other machine regulators.

It’s the only regulation system on any household machine that can work with a ruler-work accessory!

Continental M17 includes 4 ASR Presser Feet

There are 4 A.S.R. feet included with the Continental M17. The open toe, closed toe, clear view echo and exclusive ruler-work feet all work with the stitch regulator.

Janome Continental M17 needle thumbwheel

To increase the connectivity between you and the machine, an exclusive new thumb wheel is located at the inner portion of the throat area. This gives the sewer the ability to easily lower the needle to the fabric for placement instead of reaching to the right for the handwheel.

New Float Mode for Sewing

These mobile applications are “bi-directional,” where interaction between the machine and mobile device are two-way.

AcuAssist is more than an instructional manual. Access information on each stitch or accessory, and even launch directly to Janome’s YouTube channel. After viewing the desired stitch, launch it to the machine and everything is set to sew. In embroidery mode, you can browse your design library, see the stitch count, colors needed and voila, it’s all ready to sew at your machine.

Embroidery Link gives access to all your designs on the machine, on inserted USB drives and even those on your mobile device. With this app you can copy, merge, resize, adjust density, apply lettering, and even edit and delete individual sections of a design. The E-link will also monitor the status of your design as you stitch it out.

AcuSetter provides perfect embroidery placement. Simply take a picture of your project in the embroidery hoop to position and adjust the design right where you want it. Send it to the machine and it’s placed exactly where you want it. It’s as simple as that.

With AcuSketch you now can turn all your amazing doodles and sketches into embroidery. We all do it — once a pen is in our hand, we trace, draw, and create. This is what AcuSketch does for you. Bring in a photo, take a picture and trace it. You have many different stitch options including run, bean, zig zag and much more.
