Sewing machine review: Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9400QCP

[@susanlusk9584]

Thanks for the video. I'm condisdering buying a used Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9400CP and this was very helpful. Did you resolve the backstitch issue? I quilt and this is an important issue for me.

Hi Beth I have the same machine as yours but I’ve had problems that I’ve never experienced with my old janome excel. What happens is when I start sewing a seam say - I sew a few stitches forward then reverse over those stitches - but when I go forward again the foot seems to push the fabric making a fold . I’ve never seen this before - have you ? and what did you do to avoid this happening- kind regards Theresa

Hi Theresa, I do have issues when backstitching lighter weight fabric. It will bunch up the fabric on the backstitch. Is that similar to what you're experiencing? My machine did come with other throat plates and a woman at the shop where I bought it told me that she really likes the straight stitch throat plate for thin fabrics and for sewing small things. It has a very small opening for the needle and the fabric is less likely to get pushed down into the machine. The only thing is you can't do as many stitches with it. Plus, it's not super easy to switch out so I rarely use it. Sometimes, I'll put some tissue paper under the first 1/4" or so of fabric and use that to stabilize the edge. After stitching, I'll tear it away. It's a quicker solution.

@@SewDIY thank you Beth for replying - it’s when I go forward again after reverse stitching the foot pushes the seam edge over itself - I sew with T shirt fabric and the seam allowance is only 6mm - however my Janome excel never did this no matter what sort of fabric and it never had problems back stitching or stuffing fabric down below the plate - your stabilising suggestion is probably the fix but I’m going to call janome today to see what they say- so sweet of you to reply - I enjoy your videos and I’m bell subscribed too 😊 have a lovely day 😀

How does this compare to the Memory craft 6600P, besides bigger throat? Nice video.

I'm sorry I'm really not familiar with all the different models. This is my first and only Janome.

Hi Frank, It works the same as a gas pedal on a car. The harder you push, the faster it will go. That's all there is to it. All machines I've used work the same way.
