Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Continental M6 come with the AcuFeed Flex Walking Foot system? A: The Janome Continental M6 is entirely compatible with the premium AcuFeed Flex Layered Fabric Feeding System and the Professional Grade HP feet, but they are not included in the box. They can be purchased separately to perfectly customize your setup.
Q: Does this machine have a free arm for sewing sleeves? A: No, the Janome Continental series features a solid, continuous seamless flatbed design. This provides maximum stability and surface area for large quilting and flat garment construction, mimicking an industrial table setup.
Q: How does the Computerized One-Touch Needle Plate work? A: Instead of using a screwdriver to remove your needle plate to clean the machine or switch to a straight-stitch plate, you simply press an icon on the 7-inch touchscreen. The machine electronically unlatches the plate so you can lift it right off.
Q: What does the Hand Stitch Style feature do? A: When engaged, this brilliant feature subtly alters the tension and stitch placement of decorative stitches, giving them the slight, beautiful imperfections of traditional hand-embroidery.
