Ratings & Reviews
Amanda Reynolds
I’m really enjoying my Janome 360DC so far—it's a lovely machine! I've only used the straight stitch at this point, but it’s been smooth, and precise. The machine feels solid and well-built, and the controls are simple and intuitive. I’m looking forward to exploring the other stitches, but so far, I’m very happy with it!

A step into the 21st century having used my much loved Frister Rossman Cub 4 since 1980, the Janome has opened up a whole new exciting sewing experience. And Stacey was fabulous on the phone recently when I was experiencing a slight glitch - newbie lack of experience with the new machine soon resolved.
