Look in the SPECIAL OFFERS section for accessories at a PROMOTIONAL PRICE when you buy this machine

If you are looking for a good quality, easy to use, lightweight sewing machine at a fair price, this is the machine for you.

The Janome J3-18 is a portable lightweight (under 7 kgs), free arm (sleeve arm)sewing machine complete with a neat extension table cum accessory storage box.

This model is easy to control through its quality foot control. Those people who want to sew long seams, for example in large curtains or drapes, will find the J3-18 much superior to all other budget sewing machines on the market.

The mechanism of this sewing machine is carefully balanced and the machine is virtually vibration free whether you are sewing slow or fast.

It can sew straight and zig zag stitch plus 18 built in stitches (8 stretch stitches included) plus automatic 4 step buttonhole. Stretch stitches are used on stretchy materials but they are also useful for any other fabrics where a strong stitch is required, especialy where seams come under strain for example: the back seam of a pair of slacks.

Do you strain your eyes trying to thread the needle of your sewing machine? The J3-18 is equipped as standard with an efficient automatic needle threader.

Do you want to sew quilts or padded items? This machine has a double foot lift of approximately 5/8" (16 mm).

You can be creative using twin needles as the machine has 2 handy pull up/push down spool pins for ease of use and safe storage.

Unlike the J3-18, many inexpensive machines in the market are slow, noisy, unreliable, difficult to operate and vibrate excessively. Unfortunately purchasers often discover this after they have bought such machines.

The J3-18 has a fantastic one-hand thread cutter, a quick foot change, a reverse stitch lever and drop feed facility. All these are the ideal characteristics to do free hand embroidery, darning or to sew on buttons.

This model is used extensibly by schools due to its reliability and user friendliness.
