One-Push Air Threading System
Tedious threading of upper and lower loopers are a thing of the past. Simply insert thread into the specially designed ports and your thread is transported to where it needs to be with an easy push of a lever.
Built-in Needle Threader!!!!
A Janome first! With a built-in needle threader, manually threading your serger needles is a thing of the past. One unit provides easy threading of both the right and left position needles.
8-Piece Feed Dog System
With strategically placed feed dogs in eight locations, the AT2000D will easily grab and feed your fabric. From slinky knits to denim, the AT2000D will meet the challenges of your sewing projects.
Bed Size
Serge through bigger projects with the wide flat work space. The AirThread 2000D offers ample sewing area with a sewing bed of 4.65” wide in front of the serging needle and 5.59” wide behind the needle. The bed is 9.67” deep as well.
Good Design Award
Good Design Award commends designs recognized as excellent designs that improve the quality of life, industry, and society among all screened items. The AT2000D won for solving the troublesome task of threading the needle by adopting a looper threading mechanism with an original air delivery method.
The Skyline S7 comes with 240 built-in stitches, including 11 one-step buttonholes and 7 alphabets. Quilters and designers will enjoy the AcuFeed™ Flex Layered Fabric Feeding System and the Automatic Presser Foot Lift. The 11 buttonholes can be customized for stitch width, stitch density and buttonhole opening. Along with that, the 7 alphabets also go up to a 9mm width with a revised letter size and shape for increased realism and balance. Navigation through all of these features has become easier with the Skyline S7’s LCD color touchscreen.
Stitch Composer:
Create Your Own Designs
Create your own stitch patterns from scratch! The program is easy to use, and transferring stitches to your machine is easy using the built-in USB port.
Variable Zig Zag open toe foot
The new open toe Variable Zigzag (VZZ) foot (QZ) makes it easy to follow your stitch progress when using this unique Janome function. See precisely where you wish to widen or narrow your zig zag stitch with the hands-free adjustment of the knee lifter.
