Description
Janome Continental M17 Sewing and Embroidery Machine
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
EXTRA-LARGE EMBROIDERY FIELD
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
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
ACUSTITCH REGULATOR (A.S.R.)
Experience a Janome first with the CM17!

You can even adjust the sensor’s sensitivity to match your skill level, offering unparalleled control and precision.
ACUFEED FLEX FABRIC PLUS
Experience the legendary precision and power of Janome’s AcuFeed Layered Fabric Feeding System, now elevated with AcuFeed Flex Plus. While still removable, attaching and removing it from the machine has become even more advanced, enhancing reliability and control. Simply attach the AcuFeed foot and use the AcuFeed icon on your screen to engage or disengage the dedicated motor designed specifically for this feature!
91 NEEDLE POSITIONS
With an impressive 91 needle positions and a generous 9mm stitch width, the Continental M17 opens up a world of possibilities for creating intricate decorative stitches and fine-tuning your stitch work with precision.
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
EMBROIDERY POSITIONING MARKER
