Product Details
The Janome Memory Craft 1000 is a small two-in-one machine. It combines sewing and embroidery functions in one device.
This makes it perfect for crafters who want versatility without needing a lot of space. Released in 2025, this model changes modes by opening or closing the embroidery carriage. It offers both features in one small design.
The MC1000 has 300 built-in stitches and 241 embroidery designs. This gives you many creative options for garments, home décor, or personal projects.
If you are considering buying your first embroidery machine, the Janome Memory Craft 1000 is a good option. Also a great choice to upgrade your current machine. It has useful features and is easy to use.
Key Features and Specifications
The MC1000 is a dual-purpose machine. It has a swing-out embroidery arm.
This arm lets you switch from sewing to embroidery mode. When you close the embroidery carriage, it works as a regular sewing machine. You can use it for making clothes, quilting, and other projects.
The machine has 300 built-in stitches and adjustable speeds. It also has a 140mm embroidery area. Features include magnetic needle plates and an optical bobbin sensor. This makes it great for sewing and embroidery.
The collection has 241 embroidery designs in 15 categories. It includes on-screen editing, size adjustments, and design combinations. Also, 2.5MB of memory stores up to 100 patterns.
The MC1000 features an HD LCD screen with multilingual menus, QR codes for manuals, dual LED lights, and a hands-free knee lifter. Light and compact at 10kg, it is perfect for small spaces and workshops. It has a workspace of 183.5mm by 110mm and a USB port for designs.
Sewing Functions and Accessories
The machine has interchangeable magnetic needle plates and different presser feet for many sewing tasks. These tasks include zigzag, straight stitch, satin stitch, automatic buttonhole, overedge, zipper, blind hemming, and embroidery. Each foot attaches easily and securely, enhancing functionality for general sewing, decorative work, and quilting.
The optical bobbin sensor monitors your lower thread supply and alerts you before it runs out. This prevents you from stopping mid-project due to empty bobbins. The automatic thread cutter trims both upper and lower threads with a single button press.
Thread break detection stops the machine immediately if your thread snaps or runs out during sewing. You can resume work without damaging your fabric or losing your place in the pattern. The automatic needle threader guides thread through the needle eye in one smooth motion.
The machine offers memory for up to 100 stitch combinations that you create. This saves time when you're working on projects that use the same stitch sequences repeatedly.
The free arm configuration gives you access to tubular items like sleeves, trouser legs, and cuffs. You can remove the flat bed attachment to expose the free arm beneath. This design works well for hemming children's clothing and adding details to cylindrical projects.
The flat bed enhances quilting and embroidery by providing support and improving control during sewing.
Embroidery Experience and Editing
The machine has 241 embroidery designs in 15 categories. It also offers different font options for monogramming. You can choose from 11 English fonts, 3 Russian fonts, and 3 Japanese fonts.
The maximum embroidery size is 140 x 140mm. This size works well for personalising clothing, creating patches, and adding designs to home décor items.
The 3.5-inch colour LCD touchscreen lets you edit designs directly on the machine. You can resize, rotate, and flip patterns without needing a computer. The screen also allows you to change thread colours before you start stitching.
Advanced editing features allow design customisation and storage, with USB connectivity for importing and saving creations.
The MC1000 features a lever mechanism for easy fabric centering and hoop tightening.
The embroidery carriage attaches to the rear, allowing compact sewing. Optional free arm hoops enable easy embroidery on tubular items without opening seams.
User-Friendly Innovations
The Memory Craft 1000 has an automatic needle threader. This makes threading easier and saves time. It also helps reduce eye strain.
This is especially useful for projects with many thread changes or fine threads. It works effectively with various thread weights and types.
The MC1000 has a simple threading path with visual guides. This helps beginners thread the machine correctly and avoid tension problems.
The Memory Craft 1000 has automatic thread cutting. It also has an optical bobbin sensor. This sensor alerts you when the thread is low. These features improve workflow and stop interruptions during sewing projects.
