Freestyle Quilting Frame using the Janome 1600p...

I always find it interesting at exhibitions to see who is using our machines, and this years Festival of Quilts was no exception....
Marysia uses the Janome 1600p in her Freestyle Quilting Frame, and loves the extra long sewing space (8.85") and the super fast stitching... 1600 stitches per minute! The Freestyles quilting frames start from £355 and more information can be found on Marysia's website,

What's on the Horizon... a wet day in Whitley Bay??

Q. What's the best way to spend a wet July day in Whitley Bay??

A. A wonderful sewing workshop on the new Janome Horizon long arm quilting machine at The Singer Sewing Centre, Whitley Road!

Quilter's and dressmakers alike love the new Janome Horizon machine! Quilters love the 11" sewing area, convertable straight stitch needle plate and a huge selection of great quilting stitches.....dressmakers love the full range of utility stitches, a huge selection of buttonholes, knee lift, and extension table... and what about the seven levels of foot pressure? Or built in thread cutters... or how about the extra long free arm??

Today's workshop was a chance for the ladies to test the machine, we even tested to see if it would fit a large quilt in the sewing area... and guess what... it did!...

Some of the ladies fell in love with the Horizon .. they just had to place an order there and then!

If you would like to join one of our Test Drives on the Horizon during the wet summer weather... check out our website for venues and dates,
