New Janome Horizon MC 15000Perfect for technology fans the new Horizon from Janome, the Memory Craft 15000 is the first domestic sewing and embroidery machine to be compatible with the ipad, it also works with computers too. It has 2 free apps, the Acu Edit and Acu Monitor which allow you to edit your embroidery designs on your ipad, and even the monitor the machine through your ipad from another room. Plus it works wirelessly so you can send designs from your computer or ipad without having to physically connect the machine.
It is big and bold with a large arm length of 440mm, a 9” LCD touchscreen giving 7.7” x 4.7” of design workspace and powerful stitching of up to 1000 stitches per minute! For ease of use it has hundreds of built in stitch designs and the embroidery unit doesn’t have to be removed when you are doing normal sewing.
What’s more it even comes with a free ipad when purchased in the UK before Christmas (whilst stocks last).
Find out more by visiting the Janome website. It is only just filtering into the shops now, I believe Exeter Sewing Machine Centre will have it shortly. It is currently available online at Hobkirk.
