We've selected classic Sew4Home.Com projects that would be perfect to try on a variety of entry level, mid-range, and top-of-the-line Janome machines. Of course, you're welcome to use your favorite model, but it's also fun to explore how certain techniques, accents, and embellishments become easier as you take advantage of advanced machine features. For a test drive, contact your Janome Canada dealers to see which machine is right for you!
Drawcord Bag Trio with Accent Borders + Sewist 625E
Three cute bags come in three handy sizes. So easy, and so useful as gift bags or for any small storage task. The bags are not lined; instead, you'll finish the interior with a classic French seam finish. It's a technique you can use again and again. The entry-level Janome Sewist 625E is an excellent choice for this type of beginner-friendly project that combines basic seaming with topstitching as well as seam finishing. The machine's extra-high presser foot lift, speed control slider, and needle up/down button are all useful features that come into play and make things easier.

Featured Accessories: The standard Zig-Zag Foot (A) is all that is required, but other presser feet to consider: the Janome Edge Guide Foot (SE) or Janome Sliding Guide Foot for the precise topstitching.
Reversible Knit Baby Blanket + Janome 4120QDC-G
Soft and sweet describes this easy to assemble knit blanket. Made from 15 wide and narrow panels in three coordinating knits, the blanket layers together in a snap. A stretchable thread helps keep the seams and hem flat and pucker-free, but - of course - a precision machine is the real power behind the project. It's a great opportunity to use the Janome 4120QDC-G. Its 7-piece feed dogs and extra-high presser foot lift easily handled this reversible blanket's thicker layers. Extra important for large projects, like blankets, is the model's included extension table. Spread out and stitch with confidence.

Featured Accessories: The standard Zig-Zag Foot (A) is all that is required, but other presser feet to consider, the Janome Even Feed Foot, which is included in the Bonus Quilting Kit.
Embroidered Teardrop Tote + MC9850 Special Edition
This bag's design is generous in size and style thanks to the combination of bold fabric and striking embroidery (a FREE download). The teardrop shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, carries lots and is easy to load with just one hand. The Janome MC9850 Special Edition is the on-target machine for the job. It's a space-saving model with all our favorite features for sewing and embroidery, including the large, full color LCD touchscreen. We were particularly impressed with the superior needle threader with Thread Guide 7 – one of the fastest, smoothest threading systems we've ever tired.

Featured Accessories: The standard Zig-Zag Foot (A) and Zipper Foot (E) are required, and, of course, the Janome Embroidery Foot (P) for the upper accent embroidery.
