Janome 5060 QDC Product Review and Demonstrations
The Janome 5060 QDC is a superb choice for beginner and more experienced sewers and quilters. It’s very easy to set up with a quick set bobbin, a needle threader, a start-stop button and speed control slider so you can limit the speed of the machine when using the foot pedal.
The powerful motor can handle various types of fabric, which means it’s ideal for quilting, dressmaking, making curtains and bags. The 7-piece Superior Feed System ensures superb fabric control and stitch quality. It's got 60 stitches built in, including decorative stitches for beautiful detailing, plus 6 styles of automatic one-step buttonhole.
For quilters, the free quilting accessories include a walking foot (essential for sewing through multiple layers), a ¼ inch seam foot with guide, as well as an extension table giving you space to work on bigger projects like larger size quilts.
Other great features include the bright LCD screen, adjustable foot pressure for different weight fabrics, the drop feed teeth option for free motion embroidery and a free arm for dressmaking.
This is a best-selling machine that has been featured in previous seasons of the Great British Sewing Bee. It will grow with you as your sewing skills develop and handle pretty much anything you throw at it.
