Ample Work Area and Visibility

The M7 has the industry’s LARGEST sewing space available on any household use machine. With 13 ½” of work space, a total work area of 17.81”, more than 3” in the needle/needle plate section, and Bright white LED lighting to illuminate your sewing space with shadow-free coverage, you’re sewing capacity will improve all around. With an added extension table of 26.77” X 15.75”, you’ll have even more work space. As an added bonus the worktable has a built-in drawer, so that you can keep all of your favorite accessories at your fingertips.

Industry’s Strongest

Engineered to meet your demands, the M7 provides powerful penetration and needle force, allowing you to easily tackle heavy-weight home dec fabrics like canvas in order to make your decorating dreams come true. The newly redesigned motor also provides the strength, reliability and longevity that you’ve come to expect from a Janome workhorse.

Meeting Your Need for Speed

Another Industry first, the Continental M7 is the fastest drop-in bobbin home sewing machine available. We’ve implemented a DC brushless motor that gives you 1300 stitches per minute, while still giving you the strength and stability you require. Add in the full metal frame and Janome’s high standards for vibration suppression and you can be assured of a pleasurable, smooth and high-performance sewing experience.

Computerized One-Touch Needle Plate

Changing out your needle plate has never been easier! By simply pressing a button on your screen, the needle plate automatically lifts up for easy removal. No need to snap the replacement needle plate in, as the newly designed computerized needle plate system quickly falls into place. And, since the M7 comes with three needle plates, changing them out for the proper application is a breeze.

SFS-i, Intelligent Feed System

The new SFS-i, intelligent feed system, is designed to keep the feed dogs down and out of the way, so that you can easily position your fabric where you want it to be. As soon as you start sewing, the feed dogs come up and perfectly grab the fabric.

AcuSpark App

Introducing our newest Janome app, AcuSpark. If you’re not sure how to proceed with a stitch, setting or function, simply scan the QR code on the machine’s screen and the AcuSpark app on your phone or tablet will provide the details that you need to proceed. The App also shows beautifully illustrated pictures of the standard and optional accessories and provides usage details. Who needs an instruction manual when you now have AcuSpark! AcuSpark is iOS & Android Compatible.

AcuFeed Flex Plus

Who doesn’t love Janome’s AcuFeed Flex system? With the M7, Janome has taken their upper feed system and taken it to the next level. AcuFeed Flex Plus is now completely integrated within the machine. All adjustments for AcuFeed Flex can be made on the screen because the AcuFeed Flex Plus has its own motor, providing even better accuracy and feeding of your fabric layers.

Advanced LCD Touchscreen

Using the large, color HD 7” touchscreen is like working on your favorite tablet. The advanced touchscreen shows all of the information you need to sew with ease. Select new stitches and memorize your favorites for quick access. The expanded Sewing Applications feature gives you guidance for perfecting a variety of sewing tasks, including those that use optional accessories. You’ll need the on-screen clock to make sure you don’t lose track of time while playing with new features like Quilt Block Advisor and the 52 Hand Stitch Style stitches.

Manual Dual Feed

Have the control of the AcuFeed Flex foot with your favorite forward decorative stitches. The Manual Dual Feed setting enables you to have the same control using forward decorative stitches that you can expect from using AcuFeed Flex on straight stitches.

Quilt Block Advisor

Not sure how to cut your log cabin strips for a 10” block? Let our Quilt Block Advisor do the work for you. Input the number of rows/size of work for traditional quilt patterns like Nine Patch, Log Cabin, Baby Blocks and more. The Quilt Block Advisor will help you break down each section and provide you with the cutting size of pieces including seam allowance.

Hand Stitch Style

Everything old is new again! We've taken a step towards yesteryear and have added a section of 52 stitches that are manipulated to look like they've been hand-sewn. Your friends will think you've taken hours to hand sew these beautiful stitches on to your projects. Don't worry, we won't tell!

On Screen Clock

You no longer have an excuse for sewing too long and forgetting to let the dog out or feed the kids! The discreet on-screen clock is in view on all screens and keeps the time, even when the machine is turned off.

Optical Bobbin Sensor

For everyone who has sewn a long seam, only to find that your bobbin thread ran out after the first few inches, our advanced Optical Bobbin Monitoring System is for you. Janome technology allows the M7 to constantly watch your bobbin thread supply while sewing, so that you will receive a warning as soon as the bobbin thread gets low, not when it’s too late at the end of your seam.

More Stitches, More Accessories

You’ll find 400 built-in stitches, including 13 different styles of buttonholes (and with Stitch Composer your stitch count is infinite). Eight fonts provide variety for decorative stitch monogramming. And, you can get the most of all of these stitches, because Janome throws in a generous 23 standard feet and accessories with your new machine.

Free Motion Quilting

Finishing your projects from start to finish is a feeling that can’t be matched – especially when your project is a quilt! The Continental M7 makes free motion quilting easier than ever. Customize the foot height for your project and preference – set it high for a lofty quilt with lots of batting, or low if you like a little drag on your stitches. You can even memorize your setting to use later.

Ruler Quilting

Expand your quilting options and take advantage of the wide array of precision templates on the market for ruler-guided quilting. Engage the Ruler Work mode in Sewing Applications and use the Ruler Work foot (QR) to safely follow along the guiding edge of precision cut templates.Achieve beautiful and consistent quilting results previously only available to longarm quilters.

Professional Grade Needleplate, HP Foot and HP2 Foot

Utilize these narrow gauge industrial type feet for curves and precise topstitching. They provide great ease of control and superior visibility. Sized perfectly for creating 1/4” seams, achieve accurate stitches and perfect starts on any type of fabric.

Variable Zigzag

Advanced tools give advanced abilities for creative expression. The Continental M7 includes a great tool for creativity: Variable Zigzag™. This feature enables precision control over the stitch width via the knee lift! Thread painters will rejoice at the ease of control of the stitch width. Variable Zigzag opens up amazing new possibilities for creative expression with free motion quilting, thread painting, raw edge appliqué, free motion monogramming, and more.

Stitch Tapering

Create original designs for borders and decorative effects with the Stitch Tapering Function. This distinctive feature allows you to adjust stitches at a 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 angle to combine and edit built-in stitches. This function can be applied to 41 stitches.

Independent Bobbin Winding Motor

With an independent bobbin motor, there is no need to stop your sewing or unthread your machine. Set up your bobbin, push the Bobbin Winding button and keep sewing your seams while the machine simultaneously winds your bobbin. This is a great timing saving feature!

Stitch Composer

The unique Stitch Composer™ program gives you the ability to create your own stitch patterns from scratch! The program is easy to use, and transferring stitches to your machine is easy using the built-in USB port. Your stitch library can expand to match your creativity.
