Janome 5270QDC Sewing Machine Product Review and Demonstration
The Janome 5270QDC is a superb compact sewing machine packed with features and accessories that quilters and dressmakers of all abilities will appreciate. It comes with a great range of presser feet, along with a bonus feet pack, extension table and hard cover, making this machine great value for money.
It is built to last with an aluminium diecast body, thicker needle bar and reinforced pressure bar for durability and extra needle penetration power to sew cleanly through denim and multiple quilt layers. It has a strong motor and adjustable presser foot pressure too.
The 5270QDC offers 270 built-in stitches, including 12 one-step buttonholes that size themselves automatically to your button, plus fonts, numbers and symbols so you can personalise your work.
Setting up the Janome 5270QDC sewing machine is quick thanks to the drop-in bobbin, built-in needle threader and touchpad selection with a clear backlit LCD screen. The automatic thread cutter trims top and bobbin threads at the press of a button, while the drop feed, knee lift and included free-motion foot make the machine ready for free-motion embroidery and quilting.
Sewers who enjoy working across a wide range of sewing projects will appreciate the 7-piece SFS+ feed system. It delivers superior fabric handling across all weights, keeping stitch quality consistent from fine cottons to heavy layers. Three optic magnifiers (x20, x40 and x60) help you place stitches precisely on close detail work.
With an extensive accessory set, wide extension table and hard cover all included, the 5270QDC offers strong value for money at its price.
