HD9 Overview
Threading Guide
Inserting the Bobbin
Heavy Weight Thread Guide
Janome developed the Heavy Weight Thread Guide with Variable tension adjustment for better thread and stitch control for all weights of thread. The HWTG Stabilizes thread tension when sewing through thick fabrics like leather, cork or other heavy-duty fabrics.
1.4x Larger Bobbin
The side-loading Jumbo Bobbin holds 40% more thread than normal bobbins. The all-metal bobbin case and hook rotate a full 360°, resulting in precise and dependable stitching.
Built Strong
The words durable, quiet and smooth are synonymous with Janome. This is made possible by engineering the HD9 with eight enclosed ball bearings supporting the main drive shaft. Ball bearings may have not been at the top of your list of necessary features, but it will end up being your favourite after sewing on the HD9 and experiencing how it feels.
Automatic Thread Cutter
The HD9 is a perfect blend of industrial strength and speed, but provides some “familiar” features of a home machine. The Automatic Thread Cutter is one of these included features. When sewing with average weights of thread, automatic thread cutting can be accessed via the thread cutter button or the remote thread cutter – making the end of each seam that much easier to finish.
Independent Bobbin Winder
With an independent bobbin motor, there is no need to stop your sewing. Set up your bobbin, push the Bobbin Winding button and keep sewing your seams while the machine simultaneously winds your bobbin.
Big and Fast
1,600 stitches per minute make the HD9 the fastest home-use machine on the market. With nearly 9″ x 6″ to the right of the needle, the HD9 has an extra-wide work area. The HD9’s speed, size and a side-loading bobbin, make for a great machine to put into a quilt frame.
Accessories
Being a dedicated straight stitch machine doesn’t mean limited feet or attachments. The HD9 comes with everything you need including a knee lifter, jumbo bobbins, hemmer foot, cloth guide, accessory box and more.
Make Room for More
A standard accessory for the HD9 Black Edition, the extra large extension table provides a generous 16 x 24″ surface to tackle bigger quilts and large leather crafting projects..
