Frequently Asked Questions About the Janome MyLock 454D
Let us help with the answers.
Is the Janome MyLock 454D suitable for beginners?
Yes. Threading is what puts most beginners off overlockers, so the coloured guides and the chart inside the front cover walk you through it and the easy-threading lower looper keeps colour changes simple.
Does the MyLock 454D do rolled hems?
Yes. There is no plate or tension change to make, so you can switch to fine decorative edges in moments. The rolled hem width is 2.0mm.
Can the Janome MyLock 454D handle stretch and knit fabrics?
Yes. The differential feed adjusts from 0.5 to 2.25, which keeps knits feeding evenly without stretching and stops fine fabrics puckering, for a clean edge on jersey and other stretch fabrics.
How fast does the MyLock 454D sew?
It runs at up to 1,300 stitches per minute for fast, efficient finishing. The Hanenite rubber feet absorb vibration so it stays steady and runs quietly, even at top speed.
What warranty comes with this overlocker?
The Janome MyLock 454D includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty.
What needles does the MyLock 454D use?
The machine uses Janome ballpoint HAx1SP needles. A pack of needles is included in the box, along with screwdrivers, tweezers and a foot control.
