Product Details
The Janome 2200XT stands as a popular entry-level mechanical sewing machine that is both affordable and reliable. This model appeals to beginners and occasional sewers who want quality construction without advanced features they may not need.
The 2200XT has 22 built-in stitches and an automatic 4-step buttonhole. This makes it great for basic sewing, home décor, and everyday repairs. Its straightforward design uses only two dials for operation, which simplifies the learning process for new sewers.

Key Specifications and Design
The Janome 2200XT measures 390mm wide, 150mm deep, and 280mm high, making it a compact machine suitable for home use. It weighs approximately 6kg, which makes it portable whilst maintaining stability during operation.
The machine features a maximum stitch length of 4mm and a maximum stitch width of 5mm. These specifications allow for versatile sewing applications across different fabric types and project requirements.
The design incorporates a front-loading bobbin system with easy declutch bobbin winding and automatic stop functionality. A recessed tension unit enables lay-in threading, simplifying the setup process.
The Janome 2200XT features a built-in free arm, perfect for sewing smaller, tubular items with ease. Just take off the accessory compartment to reach the free arm. This is ideal for hemming sleeves, stitching cuffs, pant legs, and other difficult-to-access areas.
Additional design elements include snap-on feet fitting, a vertical-type spool pin, and twin needle facility. The machine comes with a soft cover for protection and includes accessory storage space.

22 Built-in Stitches to choose from
The Janome 2200XT provides 22 built-in stitch options that cover essential sewing needs. These include straight stitch and zigzag stitch as fundamental options for most sewing projects.
Utility stitches encompass blind hem, stretch stitches, and overcasting options for neatening raw edges. These stitches address practical sewing requirements for garment construction and alterations.
The machine also offers decorative stitches that add finishing touches to projects. You can adjust the stitch length and width, allowing you to customise each stitch to suit your project.
Designers specifically create stretch stitches for knit fabrics and elastic materials. These stitches maintain flexibility whilst providing secure seams that won't break under stress.

Buttonhole Mechanisms
The Janome 2200XT features an automatic 4-step buttonhole function that creates professional-quality buttonholes. This mechanism operates through four distinct steps to produce consistent results.
The 4-step buttonhole process includes the left column, bartack, right column, and final bartack. You control each step manually by adjusting the stitch selection dial to the corresponding position.
The buttonhole foot, included with the machine, guides fabric positioning and ensures uniform buttonhole sizing. This attachment works in conjunction with the automatic mechanism to maintain consistent spacing and density.
Users can adjust buttonhole length by marking the desired size on the fabric before beginning the process. The machine maintains consistent stitch density throughout each step of the buttonhole creation.

Ease of Use and Controls
The Janome 2200XT operates through a two-dial control system that simplifies machine operation. One dial handles stitch selection whilst the other manages stitch length adjustment.
The mechanical design eliminates the complexity associated with digital sewing machines. This approach makes the 2200XT particularly suitable for beginners learning basic sewing techniques.
Key functional elements include a push-button reverse lever, drop feed facility, and power switch. The reverse lever allows for backstitching to secure seam beginnings and endings.
The instruction book provides detailed guidance for setup, operation, and maintenance procedures. Janome included threading diagrams and stitch selection charts to assist users in achieving optimal results.
Manual tension adjustment allows fine-tuning of thread tension for different fabric weights and types. The tension dial is clearly marked with numerical indicators for consistent settings.
