Janome Sewist 725S Product Review & Demonstration
Mechanical sewing machines are built to last. That's exactly what the Janome Sewist 725S delivers. This model features Janome's signature jam-proof top-loading bobbin. You just drop it in and follow the instructional pictures on the bobbin case door to thread the machine. Not only does a top-loading bobbin mean fewer jams, but you can also see when it's running low. The built-in needle threader is quick to set up, which means you won't strain your eyes threading the needle during longer sewing sessions.
This sewing machine has 25 different stitches, including a 1-step buttonhole. You'll have a good range of utility stitches to work with, plus decorative options for beautiful detailing. All stitches are customisable with a maximum stitch length of 4mm and stitch width of 5mm.
The adjustable presser foot pressure and build quality give the ability to sew through various thicknesses of fabric - it can handle everything from lightweight cotton to denim. The extra-high presser foot lift accommodates thicker fabrics and projects under the presser foot. It's lightweight at 6.7kg and comes with a hard cover, which is great for taking to classes, storing away and protecting against dust.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Janome Sewist 725S Sewing Machine
Let us help with the answers.
