Our take on the Janome Sewist 740DC Computerized Sewing Machine

The Janome Sewist 740DC is a lightweight computerized sewing machine with 40 built-in stitches, 20 of them on direct-selection buttons. It stands out for its onscreen presser foot recommendation, stitch elongation up to five times standard length, and three one-step buttonhole styles. It suits beginners and casual sewists who want guided stitch setup, and it ships with seven presser feet. Against mechanical machines at the same level it offers more automation, though it has fewer stitches and no thread cutter compared with step-up computerized models.

About the Janome Sewist 740DC Computerized Sewing Machine

The Janome Sewist 740DC is a computerized free-arm sewing machine with 40 built-in stitches. They include basic stitches for apparel sewing and some decorative stitches. Twenty direct selection buttons cover the most commonly used stitches, and a pullout chart lists all 40 with their reference numbers.

A backlit LCD screen shows the selected stitch, the recommended presser foot, the stitch length and the stitch width. Function keys below the screen change these settings. An elongation key stretches stitches up to five times their original length. The machine makes one-step buttonholes in three styles: square, keyhole and round. The automatic buttonhole foot sizes each one to your button.

A start/stop button lets you sew without the foot control, and a slider adjusts the speed. A needle up/down button sets where the needle stops, and a lock stitch button secures the start and end of a seam. The 7-piece feed dog system works with the superior PLUS feed system (SFS+), which moves in a box motion. A drop feed feature lets you disengage the feed dogs for free-motion quilting or freehand embroidery. The extra-high presser foot lift raises about 1/4" higher than the normal position to handle heavy fabrics and multiple layers. The automatic bobbin winder stops when the bobbin is full.

Questions and answers

Is the Janome Sewist 740DC good for beginners?
Yes. Direct stitch buttons and the onscreen presser foot recommendation remove much of the setup guesswork. The seven included feet cover basic seams, zippers and buttonholes.
How many stitches does it have?
It has 40 built-in stitches, with 20 on direct-selection buttons. The rest are chosen by number from the pullout chart.
Does it make one-step buttonholes?
Yes. It offers three one-step buttonhole styles, so the machine sews the buttonhole in a single sequence.
Can it sew thick fabrics like denim?
It can handle light denim and canvas, but the lightweight body may need support on heavy seams. Reduce speed and use the right needle for dense fabric.
What comes in the box?
The machine, seven presser feet, and the standard accessories Janome includes for this model. Check the listing for the exact foot types.
Does it have a free arm?
Yes. The free arm exposes the narrow bed for cuffs, sleeves and pant hems.
