Horizon Memory Craft 9450QCP

I have had my Memory Craft 9450QCP for 3 weeks, and I love it. I have nothing bad to say about this machine it has been so much fun to sew on. I look forward to coming home from work every night and sewing on it. The directions are easy to read, the settings are easy to navigate through, and the best features are the deepthroat, the added light over the needle, the table, the thread cutter, the needle threader... what else can I say. This was a Christmas gift for me and it's probably been the nicest Christmas gift I've ever had.

I have had a few Janome machines and I loved them all. I just purchased a 9400, and what a dream! I had a MC8900QCP, and this is like going from a wonderful machine to what every quilter dreams of! I started looking because I liked the idea of the lighting on this machine (which IS awesome), but WOW....the quietness of it, the neat, perfect stitches, the new HP plate and foot,the new needle threader and all the other wonderful Jamone feet and tools. It is a dream come true. Not sure how they will top this one!

I've been sewing on Janome machines for 22 years. Every couple of years I've upgraded my machine to get more of Janome's sewing machine capabilities. I've reached nirvana. I'm a fashion sewist sewing on a quilting machine but I love this machine. It's the sewing machine of my dreams. I love everything about it but especially the extra light, the ease in which the automatic needle threader works, how the touch front works with all of the extra information. ALL of the extra feet that are included with the sewing machine and the different throat plates. It's quiet when it sews. The extra long bed allows me to get an entire garment under the needle with ease. There are more stitches to use than I can imagine working with BUT I appreciate having them so I have room to grow. Yes, it's a quilters machine but I highly recommend that fashion sewists look at it because it will expand your abilities to create.

Sew4Home is a Janome exclusive studio so we get stitch on a variety of machines each year, rotating them out to try new models. This machine is one we fight to KEEP in rotation because it is such an all-around powerhouse. It has a large bed space with brilliant lighting from all sides, including the retractable high light, which we use all the time. It also checks all the boxes for must-have features, like an auto thread cutter, auto needle thread, and did you know it comes with a cloth guide. We love that for precision topstitching.

Originally I was going to get the M7 but my space would not accommodate it. When I consulted with the experts, they assured me that this machine had just as much power and capability. As a cosplayers, i work with a lot of different types of fabrics. Vinyl, silk, faux fur, denim, cotton, jersey.. and this machine handles them all effortlessly. Delicate enough to add decorative stitches to linen and tough enough to sew through 4+ layers of outdoor fabrics, it has surpassed my expectations. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to elevate their stitch-craft!

I chose this machine to use as a Janome Maker as a result of falling in love with it from being provided in the classrooms where I teach. I seriously love the very large work tray and since the majority of my work/designs involve curved piecing - the pivot (or hover) feature is fabulous! As I work my curves, I no longer have to stop and manually manipulate my fabrics - the pivot foot allows me to go quickly and accurately around the curves!! There's so many built in stitches too! I am looking forward to incorporating some of those into my curved pieces! The instructional DVD is super helpful. I think it's great that Janome is so supportive of the quilting industry. No matter what your budget or skillset, there is a machine for you!

Love this machine. I wanted a machine with all the bells and whistles while also being able to take it in my trolley on long retreat weekends. There is nothing better than the accuracy of this machine. The lighting is worth a million dollars. Love the pull out light on the front which points right where I need it. Love the hp2 acufeed foot my all time favorite. I get perfect 1/4 with this foot. This machine is a great price point for the fantastic machine.
