What Do Owners and
Consumer Reports Think of the Janome 6260QC?
Reviewers and owners are impressed with the Quilter’s Companion line of Janome sewing machines. Most notable on QC quilting machines is the arched worktable, that tilts your quilting and appliqué projects to an optimal angle, keeping your appliques flat and saving your hands some stress.
Here are some of the more notable features:
- The 6260QC machine-quilting model comes with 60 built-in stitches – mostly targeted for use on machine quilt projects. You’ll find heirloom stitches, 12 satin decorative stitches, blanket stitches, and even a star stitch, which is pretty unique.
- The automatic needle-threader is a great time-saver and helpful for those over forty who are starting to need reading glasses.
- There’s a push-button right on the front that lets you stop the machine in a needle-up or needle-down position.
- The QC line of home quilting machines also comes with rave-reviewed extra storage, built right into the machines. You’ll find the usual drawer in the extension table, but there’s also extra top storage for your specialty presser feet (the 6260QC comes with 8 different presser feet), and a magnificent slide-out drawer on the side–accessible even when your machine quilt project is in the machine.
