Janome 360DC

The Janome 360DC is a computerised sewing machine and an upgrade from the popular 230DC model.

This machine offers more features but is still easy to use. Perfect for beginners who want to improve their skills. Also great for experienced sewers who need reliable performance and modern features.

The 360DC has 60 built-in stitches, including seven automatic one-step buttonhole styles. Great for making clothes, home décor, and quilting. Its fully computerised design lets users choose stitches and change settings easily with buttons. The strong aluminium body makes it durable.

Key features include an automatic needle threader and a top-loading bobbin system. It also has a wide extension table for larger projects.

The machine is easy to use and well-built. This makes it a good choice for sewers. They can explore their creativity and get consistent, professional results.

The superior feed system features a 7-piece feed dog setup designed to grip fabric securely from multiple points. This helps with smooth feeding. It works well with a single layer of silk. It also handles multiple layers of quilting cotton. Additionally, it can manage heavy fabrics like denim and canvas. By keeping fabric movement steady, it helps prevent common issues such as puckering, shifting, or uneven stitching.

The adjustable presser foot pressure has six levels. This lets you adjust it for different fabric weights. Lower pressure works best for lightweight or slippery fabrics like silk and chiffon. Higher pressure gives the strength needed for thick or layered materials such as denim, canvas, or upholstery fabrics.

For added versatility, the drop feed function lets you lower the feed dogs completely. This lets you control how the fabric moves. Great for free-motion quilting, embroidery, darning, and creative stitching. Quilters, in particular, benefit from the ability to guide fabric manually when creating detailed patterns and designs.

Additional handling features make the machine even more versatile:

• Free arm conversion makes it easy to sew sleeves, cuffs, trouser hems, and other tubular or hard-to-reach areas.
• A 6-inch throat space provides extra room for manoeuvring larger projects such as quilts or home décor items.
• An extension table (included) supports bulky or layered projects, helping fabric stay flat and manageable while sewing.
• The die-cast aluminium body is strong and durable. It reduces vibration during fast sewing. This keeps stitch quality consistent on many types of fabric.

The Janome 360DC includes two features that make setup quick and simple. The automatic needle threader removes the struggle of threading by hand. The top loading bobbin system lets users drop the bobbin straight in from above.

The built-in needle threader works at the touch of a button. Users no longer have to strain their eyes with small thread holes. This feature saves time and reduces eye strain during setup.

The automatic system threads the needle efficiently every time. It works well for both beginners and experienced sewers who want faster setup.

The top loading bobbin system sits horizontally in the machine. Users simply lift the clear cover and drop the bobbin into place. The markings clearly indicate the thread path for quick setup.

The clear bobbin cover allows users to monitor thread levels easily. They can tell when the bobbin requires replenishing without affecting the project. This prevents running out of thread unexpectedly.

Both features work together to reduce setup time significantly. New users find these systems less intimidating than traditional methods. Experienced sewers appreciate the convenience during longer projects.

The top loading design means no fumbling with front-loading bobbin cases. The needle threader eliminates threading mistakes that can cause tension problems later.
