How much throat space does the Janome Continental M6 have?

It offers about 11 inches of space to the right of the needle, which is generous for a home machine and helps with large quilts.

Does the Continental M6 embroider?

No. It is a sewing and quilting machine; embroidery is not part of its feature set.

Does it have an automatic thread cutter?

Yes. The machine cuts the thread at the end of a seam with a button press.

Is the Continental M6 good for beginners?

It can suit a motivated beginner, but its size and menu-driven controls are better matched to sewists with some experience.

Can it quilt a king-size quilt?

The wide throat helps, but a king-size quilt still needs careful rolling and support; many owners use a large table or frame.

What comes in the box?

Expect the machine, standard presser feet, bobbins, a knee lift and basic accessories; check the included foot set for quilting-specific feet.
