Janome 3160QDC-T Computerized Sewing Machine Details
If you're looking for an inexpensive sewing machine with all the high-end features of a luxury machine, Janome's 3160QDC-T is the machine for you. This lightweight, computerized machine features a superior fabric feeding system, five essential buttons, and 60 built-in stitches at an affordable price. Janome's exclusive feeding system ensures even feeding on all fabric types and thicknesses. The five essential buttons are time-saving features which include start/stop, lock stitch, memorized needle up/down, thread trimming, and reverse. Another time-saving feature is the on-screen suggested presser foot. No need to refer to your instruction manual, simply select a stitch and the recommended presser foot will be displayed on the LCD screen. Beginners will appreciate the lightweight and portability of the machine as well as onboard accessory storage.
60 Built-in Stitches
Choose from 60 built-in utility, decorative, and buttonhole stitches. Janome's 3160QDC-T comes equipped with all the stitches you need for quilting as well as general construction.
Superior Plus Feed System (SFS+)
Janome's SFS+ has many advantages including a box rotation vs. elliptical, adjustable foot pressure, and a jam proof bobbin case. In addition to the seven-piece feed dog that makes up the superior feed system, the superior PLUS feed system moves in a box motion. Unlike the elliptical rotation of other feed dogs, a box rotation provides a more controlled feed.
One-step Buttonholes
Included in the 60 built-in stitches are 6 different buttonhole styles which can be sewn out automatically with the press of a button. Simply place your button in the automatic buttonhole foot, and the 3160QDC-T will stitch a buttonhole to the precise measurements of your selected button.
Free Arm
Remove the accessory compartment to access the free arm. This narrow arm is the perfect shape for hemming sleeves, pant legs, and other cylindrical crafts.
Onboard Storage
The removable sewing bed doubles as accessory storage space. Pack away bobbins, presser feet, seam rippers, and more for storage or travel.
Presser Foot Lift
On the 3160QDC-T, you can raise the presser foot about 1/4" (0.6 cm) higher than the normal up position. This extra lift allows for easy removal of the presser foot and makes it easier to sew thick or heavy fabrics like denim or quilt layers.
One-touch Buttons
Equipped with convenient one-touch buttons, the 3160QDC-T allows you to switch tasks smoothly and effortlessly. You will find the following options along the front of the machine: needle up/down, automatic thread cutter, lock stitch, start/stop, speed control slider, reverse stitch. With these buttons, you can raise or lower the needle, prevent your stitches from coming undone, use them in place of a foot control, and so much more.
Built-in Needle Threader
Janome's 3160QDC has a built-in needle threader that removes the guesswork, near-misses, and frustration! With just a few simple motions, your needle is threaded and ready to sew.
Snap-On Presser Feet
Easily switch between presser feet with the press of a button. Besides being easier to install, snap-on feet are generally less expensive than traditional presser feet.
FREE Bonus Package
As an added gift, every 3160QDC-T comes with an exclusive bonus bundle. Packaged in the box, you get an open-toe even feed foot with guide, open-toe satin stitch foot, open-toe darning foot, 1/4" seam foot, quilt guide, and an extension table.
