Ample Work Area and Visibility
The M7 has the industry’s LARGEST sewing space available on any household use machine. With 13 ½” of workspace, a total work area of 17.81”, more than 3” in the needle/needle plate section, and Bright white LED lighting to illuminate your sewing space with shadow-free coverage, your sewing capacity will improve all around. With an added extension table of 26.77” X 15.75”, you’ll have even more workspace. As an added bonus the worktable has a built-in drawer, so that you can keep all of your favorite accessories at your fingertips.
Industry’s Strongest
Engineered to meet your demands, the M7 provides powerful penetration and needle force, allowing you to easily tackle heavy-weight home dec fabrics like canvas in order to make your decorating dreams come true. The newly redesigned motor also provides the strength, reliability and longevity that you’ve come to expect from a Janome workhorse.
Meeting Your Need for Speed
Another Industry first, the Continental M7 is the fastest drop-in bobbin home sewing machine available. We’ve implemented a DC brushless motor that gives you 1300 stitches per minute, while still giving you the strength and stability you require. Add in the full metal frame and Janome’s high standards for vibration suppression and you can be assured of a pleasurable, smooth and high-performance sewing experience.
Computerized One-Touch Needle Plate
Changing out your needle plate has never been easier! By simply pressing a button on your screen, the needle plate automatically lifts up for easy removal. No need to snap the replacement needle plate in, as the newly designed computerized needle plate system quickly falls into place. And, since the M7 comes with three needle plates, changing them out for the proper application is a breeze.
SFS-i, Intelligent Feed System
The new SFS-i, intelligent feed system, is designed to keep the feed dogs down and out of the way, so that you can easily position your fabric where you want it to be. As soon as you start sewing, the feed dogs come up and perfectly grab the fabric.
Help is Just an App Away
Introducing our newest Janome app, AcuSpark. If you’re not sure how to proceed with a stitch, setting or function, simply scan the QR code on the machine’s screen and the AcuSpark app on your phone or tablet will provide the details that you need to proceed. The App also shows beautifully illustrated pictures of the standard and optional accessories and provides usage details. Who needs an instruction manual when you now have AcuSpark!

AcuFeed Flex Plus
Who doesn’t love Janome’s AcuFeed Flex system? With the M7, Janome has taken their upper feed system and taken it to the next level. AcuFeed Flex Plus is now completely integrated within the machine. All adjustments for AcuFeed Flex can be made on the screen because the AcuFeed Flex Plus has its own motor, providing even better accuracy and feeding of your fabric layers.
Advanced LCD Touchscreen
Using the large, color HD 7” touchscreen is like working on your favorite tablet. The advanced touchscreen shows all of the information you need to sew with ease. Select new stitches and memorize your favorites for quick access. The expanded Sewing Applications feature gives you guidance for perfecting a variety of sewing tasks, including those that use optional accessories. You’ll need the on-screen clock to make sure you don’t lose track of time while playing with new features like Quilt Block Advisor and the 52 Hand Stitch Style stitches.
Always in Control
Have the control of the AcuFeed Flex foot with your favorite forward decorative stitches. The Manual Dual Feet setting enables you to have the same control using forward decorative stitches that you can expect from using AcuFeed Flex on straight stitches.

Hand Stitch Style
Everything old is new again! We've taken a step towards yesteryear and have added a section of 52 stitches that are manipulated to look like they've been hand-sewn. Your friends will think you've taken hours to hand sew these beautiful stitches on to your projects. Don't worry, we won't tell!
Optical Bobbin Sensor
For everyone who has sewn a long seam, only to find that your bobbin thread ran out after the first few inches, our advanced Optical Bobbin Monitoring System is for you. Janome technology allows the M7 to constantly watch your bobbin thread supply while sewing, so that you will receive a warning as soon as the bobbin thread gets low, not when it’s too late at the end of your seam.
