- Is the Janome Blue Couture good for beginners?
- Yes. Dial stitch selection, a front-loading bobbin and 15 stitches keep the learning curve short. It has no computer screen, so there is less to configure.
- How many stitches and buttonholes does it have?
- It offers 15 stitches and one four-step buttonhole, with stitch width up to 5 mm and length up to 4 mm.
- Can it handle quilting?
- Only light quilting. The 6.5 by 4.7 inch work space is tight for rolling a large quilt, so it suits small quilts and piecing better than full-size projects.
- What kind of bobbin does it use?
- A front-loading vertical oscillating hook bobbin, wound with a push-pull winder. You load the bobbin from the front rather than dropping it in from the top.
- How fast is it?
- Up to 800 stitches per minute, controlled by the foot pedal since there is no separate speed slider.
- Is it heavy to move?
- It weighs about 13 pounds, light enough to carry to a class or store in a closet between sessions.
