Advanced Engineering
for High Definition Results

  • High Definition Quilting

    Brand new technology in our A.S.R. (Accurate Stitch Regulator) will change your expectations of what stitch regulation can be. By using an infrared LED instead of a traditional sensor, you’ll experience a much more stable, consistent, and reliable stitch regardless of speed, curves, rulers or choice of fabric color or style.

    A.S.R. (Accurate Stitch Regulator)

  • Hi-Definition Embroidery

    The industry’s first Gantry Embroidery carriage that brings Janome’s robot arm precision and high-speed movement control technology to your projects. In addition, 12 ball bearings, 11 needle bearings, and 3 linear guides greatly improve accuracy and durability at high speed. This engineering marvel is inspired by the cranes which load heavy containers onto ships at high speed with precision and accuracy.

  • Hi Definition Sewing

    Add more creativity to your sewing projects with the ability to choose and combine over 850 stitches with up to 9mm stitch width. There are countless adjustments to each stitch available and it can go up to 1,300 SPM in straight stitching. Ergonomic conveniences like a needle movement thumbwheel and improved line-of-site make your sewing experience luxurious.

Seeing is believing

Some machines have bulky heads, requiring you to hunch over to see your work. But while the length of the sewing bed is tremendous, the head of the Continental M17 is remarkably slim, allowing you to see everything under your needle.
