The Janome MOD-50 is a computerized sewing machine with 50 built-in stitches, including 3 one-step buttonholes. It is made for sewing garments, home décor and quilts. It is part of Janome's seven-model MOD line.
A backlit LCD display shows the current stitch number and the recommended presser foot. Directional buttons choose stitches and adjust stitch width and length. Near the needle are a start/stop button, which sews without the foot control, and a reverse button. The reverse button can also stop a stitch pattern before it finishes. A locking stitch button ties off the thread end, so no backstitching is needed. A needle up/down button sits by the display and sets where the needle stops.
The machine has a one-hand needle threader, a horizontal top-loading rotary hook bobbin with a clear cover, and an auto declutch bobbin winder that stops when the bobbin is full. A speed control slider sets the top and low end speeds. A 7-piece feed dog system feeds fabric smoothly, and the feed dogs can be dropped for free-motion sewing. The extra high presser foot lift suits denim seams and other bulky fabrics. Removing the storage compartment turns the machine into a free arm for sleeves and hems.
