Product Details
The Janome 1200D is a versatile machine. It works as an overlocker, cover hem, and top cover hem machine all in one.
This versatile machine allows you to make professional-quality garments. It has features like flatlock, blanket, overlock, chain stitch, and coverstitch.

To improve your sewing skills beyond a regular machine, the 1200D has great tools. It can finish seams, make decorative edges, and add professional hems to your projects. The designers made the machine to do finishing work. This work helps garments look ready to wear.
Overview of the Janome 1200D
The 1200D is a versatile 5-thread overlock machine offering professional results and automatic tension for various stitches.
The machine makes rolled hems and stitch changes easier with an automatic tension system. It also has 28 optional feet for more versatility.
The 1200D overlocker provides edge finishing, seam construction, and decorative stitching. It includes flatlock and coverstitch options. You can easily switch functions for professional hems.
The Janome 1200D overlocker streamlines garment creation with professional finishes, offering edge finishing, decorative stitching, and versatile hem options for various fabric types.
Your creations will match the quality of store-bought clothing, thanks to the machine's technical capabilities.
Stitching Capabilities and Programmes
The 1200D comes with 10 built-in stitch programmes that cover essential sewing techniques. These programs offer options for 2, 3, 4, or 5 threads. You can change stitch types based on your project needs.
The machine automatically adjusts the thread tension for each stitch. It has a display and a threading chart. It also includes colour-coded guides to make threading easy.
The 1200D offers 20 stitch variations, including customisable overlock and decorative stitches for various fabrics.
The coverstitch function creates professional hems with parallel stitching, mimicking store-bought finishes.
Flatlock stitches create flat seams for activewear and lingerie. The machine has single and double chain stitch options. These options make strong, stretchy seams and allow for easy mode switching.
The rolled hem feature creates a narrow, rolled edge finish commonly used on scarves, napkins, and lightweight garments. Your 1200D makes this simple through its quick-change rolled hem system.
To switch to a rolled hem, just adjust the stitch finger and tension. This keeps quality high at fast speeds. You do not need to change the needle plate or presser foot.
Performance and Sewing Adjustments
The Janome 1200D has an auto tension system that adjusts thread tension by itself. This makes it easier to change fabrics. The tension release device helps remove fabric and stops thread from breaking.
The system offers consistent stitch quality and faster project transitions, but may require manual tension adjustments for specific fabrics.
The 1200D allows stitch length adjustments from 1mm to 5mm and cutting width from 3mm to 7mm. Use shorter stitches for lightweight fabrics and longer for heavier materials. Test settings on scrap fabric before actual sewing.
The differential feed mechanism controls how the front and rear feed dogs move fabric through the machine. You'll adjust the differential feed ratio to prevent stretching on knits or puckering on wovens.
Adjust the feed dog ratio to 1.0 for neutrality, below 1.0 for stretching, and above 1.0 for compression, with specific settings for knits and wovens.
The Janome 1200D sews up to 1,300 stitches per minute at maximum speed. This high-speed capability helps you complete large projects efficiently whilst maintaining consistent stitch formation.
Foot pedal pressure controls speed for precision or maximum speed, with slower speeds needed for thick fabrics.
User Experience and Safety
The machine features clear thread guides that show you the exact path for threading. The machine body features marked guides that help you route thread from the spool cap through to the needles and loopers.
The upper looper system allows easy conversion between overlock and cover hem settings without special tools.
The machine features a needle threader and spool caps to save time and prevent thread unwinding during sewing.
The 1200D has safety locks on the presser foot and top cover. These locks stop operation when not secure. It also includes a waste chip box for safe collection of fabric trimmings.
Change the foot pressure based on the fabric weight. Control the cutting width and use a retractable knife. The package includes a spare blade for replacements.
