Just bought òne. Had fun freemotion quilting without using stitch regulater. The automatic tension adjuster was perfect for my project. I am looking forwaard to using the stitch regulator on my larger quilts.
The M8 has a few great features that aren't on the M7. Some of these include the thumbwheel by the needle, the capability and inclusion of the Accurate Stitch Regulator, and improved needle threader,.
@@raggedyanna6-Missy Well, you learn something new every day! You are right, you can do that - we just found it in our settings page on one of our floor models. So, the answer is yes - you can turn it off!
Wonderful video ! Thank you for taking the time to show this machine.
Yum! I love Janome!

Love to have one!
Hi if I didn’t want to use the ASR if I outgrow it etc, could I still FMQ without it?
You absolutely can! It comes with multiple feet for Free Motion Quilting.
Does it have a free arm for bag making ?
This machine does not have a free-arm on it. It's brushless motor does fabulous on bags, however!
🎉❤I own a Janome m7, like to trade to ,M8.

@@rockymountainsewingandvacuum ok thank you for that information
Can you program it so the feed dogs don’t automatically go down?
If you're talking about the glide mode, the feeds dogs will raise again once your start sewing normally.
@@rockymountainsewingandvacuum I thought I read somewhere where the feed dogs automatically going down could be turned off? Not floating mode?

Hi does the M8 weigh the same as the M7?
The Janome Continental M8 weighs 38.4 lbs, whereas the Janome Continental M7 weighs 36.8 lbs. They're pretty close!
Is it just sewing/quilting or does it also embroidery?
This machine does not do embroidery. The machine most similar that does would be the Janome Continental M17!
