The earliest Janome sewing machine was produced in 1860 in Orange, Massachusetts when William Barker and Andrew J. Clark began making the “New England Single Thread Hand Sewing Machine.” The company continued to expand until the 1960, when it was purchased by the Tokyo based Janome Sewing Machine Company founded in the 1920’s. Since then Janome has become internationally known for its quality and innovation.

Janome’s worldwide reputation is not surprising as the company has been on the cutting edge of home sewing technology since it was founded. It was the first company to develop a computerized home sewing machine and introduced the first professional style embroidery machine for home sewing. The first long arm quilting machine was also offered by Janome. Their machines lead the industry in software and have a patented motor-stepping technology which increases user control and needs less maintenance than other types of sewing machine motors.

The value of Janome sewing machines is not just in their quality, but in what you create with them. Janome sewing machines are designed for easy use and user comfort as well as machine performance. They are committed to making your sewing more artistic and creative by providing the best tools for you.
