The included AcuStitch Regulator (A.S.R.) gives you professional-level free-motion quilting control with multiple interchangeable feet, including ruler work capability. Adjustable sensitivity settings allow you to customize the regulation system as your quilting skills advance.

Janome’s legendary AcuFeed Flex Plus system provides exceptional fabric feeding precision for quilts, layered fabrics, velvet, denim, and difficult materials.

The advanced laser embroidery positioning marker gives you precise placement visibility before stitching begins, helping improve alignment accuracy on garments, quilts, and detailed embroidery projects.
