Janome MC9450 Overview

#janomecanada #janomecanadaartisan #janome9450
I've got a new Janome sewing machine to play with! The Janome MC9450 is like the Janome MC9400 on steroids! Join me for an overview of the features I love the best on the Janome MC9450
You'll love the bright lighting in the throat space and the pull-out, adjustable High Light that makes it oh so easy to see exactly what you're stitching.
The thread guide makes threading your needle a snap and works every time.
I love all the included accessories with the Janome MC9450 and, as a quilter, I don't need to buy anything else to do all I need to do when quilting. I so appreciate this!
If you have a Janome sewing machine with the AcuFeed Flex system, you're going to love the new HP2 foot that combines this helpful system with a 1/4" "walking" foot. Again, as a quilter, this is definitely the cat's meow!
See all of the other items and features that make the Janome MC9450 the perfect quilting machine.

My wife has REALLY gotten into quilting over the past 10 years, so I thought it was time for her to upgrade. For her birthday next month (September), I told her that I wanted to get her a new quilting machine (though I dared not try to choose one for her)-so we both started doing online research. But your KZbin videos have been the most helpful-we both zeroed in on the Janome brand. While we were overly impressed with the 9400 and 9450, both were well outside our budget. So she zeroed in on a new 6650 or 8200, though neither offered all the capabilities she desired. But then she spotted a factory refurbished Janome MC9400QCP from SewVacDirect out of Bryan, Texas, for $2,799 (free shipping, no tax, plus original 25-year factory warranty). She ordered it, and it arrived the other day-we were both shocked at what they sent instead of the machine she ordered. The first thing we noticed is that they put the machine in the wrong box-a box for a 9450. Great! What else did they get wrong? But when we took it out of the box, it was an actual 9450-we looked at each other with a confused look. And it looked absolutely brand new! Not a single blemish on it anywhere-it was perfect! And it had all the advertised attachments! Well, we had to let SewVacDirect know of the mix-up, so she called them, and the rep told her that she had received a free upgrade!!!! She could.not.be.happier! She has already started learning the basics of her new (it really looks brand spanking new) machine, and comments how powerful, accurate, and smooth it is. She came downstairs (her sewing room is upstairs) just to tell me, “This machine is incredible! It doesn’t vibrate one bit-so smooth!” So there you have it, the story of my wife’s Janome MC9450QCP and our very positive experience with SewVacDirect! Thanks for all your videos!

I love my 9450 it is so easy to use and has so many features. Best machine ever.

[@martibrown2993]

Brand new ti Janome, took my other machine in that starts with a J, saw this machine and fell in love. Hubby was generous enough to buy it for me. So, so happy. Love to sew, love to quilt!!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

That is awesome!

[@stellamoore4029]

Just love the information that you give and I was able to find the buttonhole foot because of you. Thank you

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@debascher7089]

I love the throat space!! More than my Pfaff has. I would've liked to hear you actually USING this machine. 😇

[@Chatterboxquilts]

That is coming, Deb. This was just an overview.

[@rickmccarthney4544]

Thanks for videos. Could you do a video on the M7 showing the decorative stiches using 12 wt. cotton on top and 50 wt. In the bobbin?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I'll add that to my list, Rick. Thanks for watching!

[@julialusk3888]

Hello. Love your videos. Should the led light be always on my auto lock button. Thanks you for answering these questions that I cannot find in my Manuel

[@CrAzY91001]

I love my new machine.

[@MarthaSchlagel]

Is there a way on the 9450 to change from Quilt to decorative stitch or other function without going thru all of the different settings? I would like to put say a number in and go to that stitch. Is that possible?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I'd don't believe that there is. I would check your manual for more information.

[@djcreeperboyph8979]

This Is Good Madam.....I Like your Video

[@paulaflood2794]

Can you use decorative Quilting Stitches with the accu feed system. Thanks.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You can with the Janome M7. With other machines, you can do it if you stitch slowly as the AccuFeed Flex system isn't meant to be used with stitches that go back and forth as some decorative stitches do.

[@Lsu2012Bama]

Loved your video! Can anyone tell me how much the 9450 costs?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Prices vary depending on the country and specific dealer. I would suggest you contact your local Janome dealer for up to date pricing.

[@jwhite1685]

What is the needle setting for the 1/4” O Foot on the Janome 9450 machine

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I have a video on how to use the O foot on the 9400 and the same information applies to the 9450. You can find this at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHenpIKlbL6Cm7c.

[@maryp698]

What was the first machine to have a wider throat space? Was it the 1600p? I am looking for a machine that is easier to use for free motion quilting.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Not sure which machine that was, but if you are looking for a straight stitch only machine for free motion quilting, the 1600p, or the Juki TL2010q are both great machines for that purpose.

[@cee2615]

Love the foot accessory case - can you buy it separately? I have bought the Janome MC9400, sadly no case came with the $A7,000 price tag

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I don't believe that you can buy it separately, however you could check with your Janome dealer as they might have something similar that you can purchase.

[@chrisharvey5942]

Hello, I wanted to ask your advice if I can? I have the Janome 8900QCP machine. I see on several of your tutorials that some features have changed, ie the different stitch patterns are now in quicker boxes that you can choose from,, there is an area of how to monogram, using lettering, ruler work. It seems that this machine has made things somewhat easier to do. Yes I could go on but I would like to ask your opinion if this machine would be a good upgrade. We unfortunately don't have Janome dealer anymore. I value your opinion as your video's have taught me so much about my machine. Thank you and hope to hear your thoughts. PS would my acufeed feet that I purchased separately work on this machine.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

There is quite a difference in features between the 8900 and the 9450. I used to have an 8900 several years ago before I invested in the 9450 and really like the additional features on it. Your best bet is to go to the Janome website for your country and check out the 8900 and compare it to the 9450 - there is a comparison table that you can add machines too on the US site. This will give you a direct comparison between the two machines so you can see that differences. The 9450 comes with 2 AcuFeed Flex feet so you probably won't need the one you currently have.

[@chrisharvey5942]

@@Chatterboxquilts Hi Kim, I purchased the Janome 9450QCP. The machine is wonderful. I am starting at the very beginning and as you recommended started at page I. Moving forward. Your videos are excellent and I watch them. I am a visual learner but I am finding this machine is just what I was looking for. I am hoping to purchase the work book, right now there doesn't seem to be any available. Again thanks for your videos and your help. Chris

[@maryskakun6904]

When will the next new model be coming out?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

There have been newer models out since the 9450. As I'm not a Janome dealer or rep, I don't have information on when they are releasing new models. Sorry.

[@irenepomoniss2919]

Hi Kim I just bought the 9450 machine I did free motion and now I don’t know how to get to the first page

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Hi Irene: Congrats on getting the 9450. Refer to page 31 of your manual to see how to get to the Utility stitches option (#1). This is the main page that you'll see when you start the machine. I have lots of videos on this machine and the 9400 which is very similar so I'd suggest that you check the Janome playlist on my channel for more helpful videos. Happy stitching!

[@irenepomoniss2919]

Chatterbox Quilts hi Kim my problem is that I can’t get to the default page and in page 31 doesn’t tell me how to do that it’s seems that the computer is stack on quilting ,thank you for your help

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Try turning the machine off and on to see if it clears up.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

Almost $6500 usd.... That's a lot of money for that machine. I was very interested until I looked up the price. Nice presentation.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

That's a high price for this machine. I would be checking with your local Janome dealer to see what their price is - or wait for a sale 😉

[@dizzyju]

Sharon Martin Sharon Martin just bought one for £1,999.00 uk on promo . So is worth shopping around and ask if they have a deal on . X

[@debcarrington3481]

Kim thanks for such an informative video. I am saving for new machine and think this is the model I want. I do have a question for you, I quilt mostly but also love to make wallets, purses and handbags which require sewing through several layers of leather, vinyl and such. I currently use a Brother 1500SL for most of my purse making but do not have space to set up more than one machine at a time. Is the 9450 as semi-industrial as the machine I am using? I would hate to mess up timing or something if the machine could not handle those thicker materials. I use your video to motivate me to continue to save for this machine :) Thank you.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

The 9450 can sew through thicker fabrics, but I would try it out on leather, especially if you want to stitch through several layers. It could sew through several layers of fabric, batting and vinyl, but I'm not so sure about leather. Definitely try it out at the dealers with the various materials on which you want to stitch to be sure it can handle them. Good luck!

[@evaschallhorn9685]

Is it possible to use the HP walking foot on the 9400?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I believe that you can purchase the HP AcuFeed foot for the 9400. I would check with your local Janome dealer and they should be able to help you out with that.

[@evaschallhorn9685]

@@Chatterboxquilts Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I especially love all of the machine videos on the 9400. This is a relatively new machine to me. Can't believe its already re-vamped.

Hi Patti - I'm not sure if the F2 foot will work on the AcuFeed Flex foot, but I would suggest that you check with your local Janome dealer who should be able to help you with this question.

No, that issue seems to have resolved itself.
