CONVENIENCE AT A TOUCH
Maximize your efficiency with the Continental M8’s one-touch buttons conveniently placed for easy access: start/stop, reverse, lockstitch, needle up/down, thread cutter, and presser foot lift. These buttons allow you to control the needle position, secure stitches, and even eliminate the need for a foot control, streamlining your sewing experience.
COMPUTERIZED ONE-TOUCH NEEDLE PLATE
Swapping out your needle plate on the Continental M8 is a breeze thanks to the user-friendly design. With just a press of a button on your screen, the needle plate automatically lifts up for easy removal. You won’t need to struggle with snapping the replacement needle plate into place either, as the innovative computerized needle plate system swiftly slots it into position. Plus, the M8 includes two needle plates, making it simple to switch between them for different sewing tasks. This feature adds convenience and versatility to your sewing experience.
OPTICAL BOBBIN MONITORING SYSTEM
DROP FEED
The Continental M8 by Janome offers a convenient on-screen key that automates the process of lowering the feed dogs, allowing you to transition seamlessly to free-motion quilting without the need for manual adjustments. This feature simplifies the quilting process, making it easier for you to achieve precise and creative stitching in your quilting projects.
SFS-I, FEED SYSTEM
The SFS-i, or intelligent feed system, is engineered to keep the feed dogs in a lowered position, allowing you to effortlessly position your fabric exactly where you want it. Once you begin sewing, the feed dogs automatically engage and grip the fabric, ensuring smooth and precise feeding for your sewing projects.
EXTRA-HIGH PRESSER FOOT LIFT
Janome’s M8 offers an extra-high presser foot lift for added space when sewing thicker fabrics. This lift allows you to raise the presser foot approximately 6mm (1/4˝) higher than the normal up position, making it much easier to work with multilayer projects and thick fabrics like denim and fleece. Additionally, it simplifies the process of changing needle plates.
KNEE LIFTER
With the optional knee lifter accessory, you have the flexibility to raise and lower the presser foot using your knee, leaving both of your hands free to manipulate and guide the fabric as you sew. This convenient feature enhances your sewing experience by providing greater control and freedom of movement during your projects.
7” COLOR LCD TOUCHSCREEN
The Continental M8 features a spacious and vibrant 7-inch color HD touchscreen. This large screen provides an experience similar to working on a personal tablet. It displays all the necessary information for seamless sewing. You can easily choose new stitches and save your favorites for quick access. Additionally, the expanded Sewing Applications feature offers step-by-step guidance for mastering various sewing tasks, including those that involve optional accessories.
QUILT BLOCK ADVISOR
Let Janome’s integrated Quilt Block Advisor simplify your quilting. Just input the number of rows and size of work for patterns like Nine Patch, Log Cabin, Baby Blocks, and more. The Quilt Block Advisor will break down each section and give you the cutting size of pieces, including seam allowance. Say goodbye to uncertainty in cutting log cabin strips for a 10″ block!
ACUSPARK 2
The Janome Continental M8 Professional Sewing and Quilting Machine offers a unique app, AcuSpark2, that provides comprehensive guidance on stitches, features, presser feet, and more. You can use the app’s QR scanner feature to access instructions, tips, creative ideas, and how-to videos that match the information displayed on the M8’s screen for any setting or stitch selection. You can also access AcuSpark2’s content independently of the sewing machine. The app is available for both Apple and Android users, with iOS 10.0 or later required for Apple devices and Android 5.0 and up for Android devices.
SUPERIOR NEEDLE THREADER V2
Threading your needle is a breeze with the built-in needle threader. This feature eliminates the need for manual threading and saves you time. Its advanced design ensures precise and accurate threading of the needle, getting you sewing quickly and effortlessly.
91 NEEDLE POSITIONS
Lorem ipsum dolWith an impressive 91 needle positions, the Continental M8 provides an extensive range of options for achieving precise decorative stitches and fine-tuning your stitch creations. You can easily drop the needle in the perfect spot for your sewing needs. Plus, with a 9mm stitch width, you can add bold details to your projects with ease.
1300 STITCHES PER MINUTE
With a powerful DC brushless motor capable of delivering 1300 stitches per minute, the Continental M8 is a sewing powerhouse. Its sturdy full metal frame minimizes vibrations, ensuring neater stitches and a smooth, high-performance sewing experience.
400 BUILT-IN STITCHES
On the Continental M8, you can personalize, resize, combine, and save the 400 pre-installed stitches with ease. The spacious LCD touchscreen simplifies the editing process, allowing you to create stitch combinations up to 100 stitches long. This machine offers a diverse selection of stitches, including utility, applique, heirloom, quilting, decorative, pictograph, and more! You can even flip, mirror, or taper most of these stitches. Save your customized stitches in the built-in 3MB memory or transfer them to a USB drive directly from the machine.
1-STEP BUTTONHOLE
This machine comes equipped with an automatic buttonhole foot that features a stabilizer plate, along with a button sewing foot. These accessories make it simple to create any of the 12 one-step buttonholes that your machine offers.
STITCH COMPOSER
With the Continental M8, you can never have too many stitches! Despite its 400 built-in stitches, you have the option to get creative with the unique Stitch Composer™ program, allowing you to craft your own stitch patterns from the ground up. The program is user-friendly, and transferring your custom stitches to the machine through the built-in USB port is a breeze. Get ready to explore endless stitching possibilities!
OPTIONAL ACUFEED FLEX
Janome’s AcuFeed Layered Fabric Feeding System is renowned for its precision and power in the sewing and quilting world. It’s now easier to attach and detach, adding reliability and control. Simply touch the AcuFeed icon on your screen after attaching the AcuFeed foot to engage or disengage the dedicated motor. This system is perfect for quilting, seaming, and traditional sewing, offering precise control for detailed tasks like zipper installation and seam matching with specialized one-pronged AcuFeed™ feet.
A.S.R. (ACCURATE STITCH REGULATOR)
Experience effortless free-motion stitching and quilting with the Accurate Stitch Regulator, included as a standard accessory with the M8. This system automatically adjusts to the speed of the fabric’s movement, ensuring precise and smooth free-motion techniques. It comes with four presser feet to support a variety of free-motion and ruler work techniques.
RULER WORK MODE
Achieve beautiful and consistent quilting results with ease by using precision templates for ruler-guided quilting. Simply engage the Ruler Work foot (QR) to follow along the guiding edge of precision-cut templates safely. This feature opens up a world of quilting possibilities and allows you to create stunning designs that were previously only achievable with longarm quilting machines.
VARIABLE ZIGZAG
The Continental M8 features a versatile tool for creativity: the variable zigzag. It allows precise control of stitch width using the optional knee lift. This feature is great for thread painters. You can start with a straight stitch and, while the machine is running, use the knee lifter to widen it to a 9mm zigzag. Release the pressure to return to a straight stitch. You can also adjust the maximum width in the machine’s settings, opening up creative possibilities like free motion quilting, thread painting, and more.
STITCH TAPERING FUNCTION
Unleash your creativity with the Stitch Tapering Function. This unique feature lets you adjust stitches at 30, 45, 90, and 120-degree angles to create original designs for borders and decorative effects. You can taper the start and end of decorative stitch patterns to achieve sharp corners and points. This function is compatible with over 40 built-in stitches, giving you endless possibilities for customization.
