Janome first launched the Horizon range in 2010, with 11” / 280 mm of workspace, suited to quilters and dressmakers alike. The Horizon Memory Craft 8300QC is the latest model in Janome’s Horizon range, it is the range’s entry-level model, offering features designed to enhance the sewing experience. Open the machine’s top lid to see the 200 stitches and 6 fonts grouped by stitch application, making it easier to identify each stitch. For creative thread art, explore the variable zig zag feature. This machine uses the same fabric feeding system as Janome’s high-end Continental range, making it easy to sew over bulky or uneven fabric layers from the start. Powerful needle penetration also helps when sewing through multiple layers. For help whenever you sew, scan the machine’s QR Code Help with your smartphone or tablet to access the Janome Global website and instructional videos.
