What is the difference between the MC8200QCP and the SE version?

The Special Edition bundles the same 11-inch-arm platform, 170 stitches and AcuFeed Flex system with an extended accessory package. Core sewing and quilting performance is the same as the standard 8200 QCP.

Does it do embroidery?

No. It is a sewing and quilting machine with decorative stitches and alphabet fonts, but it has no embroidery arm or hoop system.

Can it quilt a king-size quilt?

The 11-inch arm gives enough room for most large quilts, though very big projects still need rolling or bunching. AcuFeed Flex helps feed the layered quilt evenly.

How many buttonholes does it make?

It has 10 one-step buttonholes, sized automatically to the button placed in the buttonhole foot.

What comes in the box?

The machine ships with its standard presser feet, the AcuFeed Flex dual feed attachment, bobbins, needles and the accessories Janome includes with the Special Edition.

Is it good for a beginner?

It can serve a beginner who wants room to grow, but the computerized menus and many features mean a steeper start than a basic mechanical machine.

About the Janome Sewing Machine 11" Arm - MC8200QCP-SE

The Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8200 QCP Special Edition is a computerized sewing machine with 170 built-in stitches, 10 one-step buttonholes and three alphabet fonts. It stitches at up to 1,000 stitches per minute and has 91 needle positions.

The AcuFeed Flex system works with a 7-piece feed dog system to feed multiple layers of fabric evenly. Five LED lamps light the work area without shadows. A high-resolution LCD touchscreen shows the stitch pattern, mode, stitch pattern number, recommended presser foot, stitch width and stitch length.

Five one-touch buttons above the needle start and stop the machine, reverse stitch, auto-lock stitch, move the needle bar up or down, and trim the thread. The needle plate changes between zig-zag and straight stitch with a switch and no screwdriver. Removing the auxiliary bed exposes the free arm for hemming pants, shirts and other cylindrical items.
