LARGE WORKSPACE
The Continental M17 boasts a seamless, heavy-duty, all-metal flatbed with a powder-coated finish. This design provides a spacious and uninterrupted sewing area, offering 13.5 inches to the right of the needle. Additionally, the workspace provides a comfortable height of 5.51 inches and ample space with 3.15 inches above the needle plate, ensuring smooth and easy completion of your sewing projects.
BUILT-IN STORAGE
Hidden within the extension table arms on the embroidery bed, you’ll find convenient storage bins. These are perfect for keeping needle plates, threads, bobbins, or any other sewing essentials within easy reach.
EXTRA-LARGE EMBROIDERY FIELD
Discover our largest hoops and embroidery area ever! The RE46d Hoop provides an impressive 11.3″ x 18.2″ embroidery area. Crafted with Carbon Fiber infused plastic, this large hoop boasts exceptional strength, being 10 times stronger than metal! Janome ensures stability and precision in embroidery, even at speeds up to 1200spm. Plus, we’ve simplified the hooping process with a new easy-to-hoop lever system and hoop size detection, included with four hoops.
9 ULTRA-BRIGHT LEDS
Experience superior illumination with the CM17’s nine ultra-bright LED lights strategically positioned across four locations, ensuring a brilliantly lit work area. Enhance your focus further with the inclusion of three magnifying glasses at varying levels of magnification that conveniently attach to the faceplate. These glasses slide into place when needed and can be stowed away when not in use. This thoughtful system reduces eye strain, allowing you to sew comfortably for extended periods without discomfort.
ONE-TOUCH BUTTONS
The Continental M17 comes with a range of convenient one-touch buttons right at your fingertips. These buttons are located on the front of the machine for easy access. With these buttons, you can perform various functions effortlessly, including raising or lowering the needle, automatically cutting the thread, securing your stitches with a lock stitch, starting or stopping sewing without the need for a foot pedal, adjusting the sewing speed, stitching in reverse, lifting the presser foot, and threading the needle. These features enhance your sewing experience and make it more efficient, giving you greater control over your projects.
PROFESSIONAL GRADE FEET & NEEDLE PLATES
Make the most of these narrow-gauge industrial-type feet for curves and precise topstitching. They offer exceptional control and visibility, ideal for creating 1/4″ seams, achieving precise stitches, and flawless starts on various fabrics.
AUTOMATIC BUILT-IN NEEDLE THREADER
Threading your needle is a breeze with the Continental M17. Simply load your thread into the easily visible guides, press the threader button, release it, and voila, your needle is threaded. This efficient feature saves you time and ensures precise threading through the needle’s eye every time, getting you to your sewing projects faster.
INDEPENDENT BOBBIN WINDING MOTOR
Experience the convenience of an independent bobbin motor that eliminates the need to pause your sewing or rethread your machine. Simply prepare your bobbin, press the Bobbin Winding button, and continue sewing your seams while the machine efficiently winds your bobbin in the background. This time-saving feature ensures uninterrupted sewing, allowing you to complete your projects with greater efficiency and ease.
OPTICAL BOBBIN SENSOR
Janome’s advanced Optical Bobbin Monitoring System is a game-changer for anyone who has experienced the frustration of running out of bobbin thread during a sewing project. With this innovative technology, the Continental M17 constantly monitors your bobbin thread supply as you sew. This means you’ll receive a timely warning as soon as the bobbin thread starts running low, preventing those frustrating interruptions in the middle of your sewing or embroidery work. No more guessing or getting caught off guard – the bobbin thread sensor ensures you’re always prepared and can complete your projects seamlessly.
ERGONOMIC KNEE LIFTER
The knee lift on the Continental M17 sewing machine is thoughtfully designed for comfort and adjustability, making it suitable for sewists of various sizes and heights. You can position the knee lift to your liking, allowing you to sit directly in front of the needle while sewing. This feature is particularly useful for tasks like free-motion quilting, adjusting the zig-zag width, or general sewing. You can insert the knee lift directly into the machine base or the embroidery unit if you’re using it as an extended sewing machine table.
DUAL LCD SCREENS
Easily fine-tune stitches and functions with hands close to the needle. The main screen, resembling a smart device, is simple to navigate with icons and category selection scroll bars, allowing for editing, designing, and creating. When it’s time to sew or embroider, the second screen lets you refine stitches, tension, foot pressure, and more! The large screen measures 5.3″ by 8.5″, while the smaller one is 3.8″ by 2.1″.
SEWING APPLICATIONS MENU
Janome’s Sewing Applications Menu is a user-friendly guide that takes you step-by-step through various sewing techniques such as seaming, hemming, patchwork, gathering, pintucks, and more. It automatically selects the optimal settings and recommends the right foot and needleplate for the specific task at hand. If you ever have questions, simply click the ‘?’ bubble for detailed instructions and assistance.
APPS
You have numerous options to explore and utilize the CM17 to its fullest potential. Take advantage of the interactive AcuAssist to become proficient in using its intuitive and extensive features. With Embroidery Link, you can resize, redesign, and arrange embroidery designs without being at your machine. Additionally, AcuSetter, AcuSketch, and the Screensaver app allow you to enhance the personalization of your machine and expand your embroidery capabilities.
BUILT-IN EMBROIDERY DESIGNS
Enjoy a vast selection of embroidery options with 1,230 built-in embroidery designs, which include Designer Collections, ten embroidery fonts, and In-the-Hoop projects. Furthermore, the included Embroidery Link app enables you to customize and edit these designs, allowing you to create unique embroidery projects that your entire family will appreciate. With such a wide range of stitches and embroidery designs at your disposal, your creative possibilities are limitless!
ACUSTITCH REGULATOR (A.S.R.)
Experience a Janome first with the CM17! The new standard stitch regulation system includes four feet: closed-toe, open-toe, clear view, and the exclusive Ruler Work foot, catering to all your free-motion needs. You can even adjust the sensor’s sensitivity to match your skill level, offering unparalleled control and precision.
ACUFEED FLEX FABRIC PLUS

850 BUILT-IN STITCHES
The Continental M17 boasts an impressive selection of built-in stitches and embroidery designs to fuel your creativity. With a total of 850 built-in stitches at your disposal, including 13 distinct buttonhole styles, the possibilities are virtually endless. These stitches are thoughtfully organized into 17 categories for easy navigation, ensuring you can quickly find the one you need for your project. Whether you’re working on appliqué, cross-stitch, heirloom, quilting, satin, or any other style, you’ll find the perfect stitch in this diverse collection. Additionally, there are three different fonts available for monogramming and adding decorative text to your stitches, allowing you to add a personalized touch to your creations.
FLOATING MODE
In floating mode, the Continental M17 sewing machine operates without applying full pressure to the presser foot while guiding the fabric. This gentle approach is designed to safeguard delicate or high-pile fabrics, such as velvet, from potential damage during the sewing process.
VARIABLE ZIGZAG
Unleash your creativity with the Continental M17’s innovative Variable Zig Zag feature. This tool provides precise control over stitch width using the knee lift. Start with a straight stitch and, while the machine is in operation, press the knee lifter to widen your stitch to a generous 9mm zig-zag. Release the pressure to smoothly transition back to a straight stitch for a tapered finish. If you prefer a different width, you can effortlessly adjust the maximum width in the machine’s settings. This advanced control unlocks a world of creative possibilities, whether you’re into free motion quilting, thread painting, raw edge appliqué, free-motion monogramming, and more.
EMBROIDERY POSITIONING MARKER
The latest Janome embroidery foot introduces a laser aligning feature that displays the needle’s position on the fabric below. This visual guide allows for pinpoint accuracy, showing you precisely where your needle will land before you start stitching. It’s an invaluable tool for ensuring designs are placed exactly where they need to be. Combine the laser with the baste function for ultimate control over design placement.
RULER WORK MODE
Broaden your quilting horizons by exploring the extensive selection of precision templates designed for ruler-guided quilting. Activate the Ruler Work foot to seamlessly navigate along the precise edges of these templates, ensuring safe and accurate quilting. Unlock the potential for achieving stunning and uniform quilting results that were once exclusive to longarm quilters. With this capability, your quilting projects will reach new levels of precision and beauty.
