The 9700 is a combined sewing machine and computerized embroidering system.
It will perform day-to-day sewing tasks and is the ideal machine for soft furnishings, garment construction and quilting projects.
Large multi colour embroidery designs can be chosen from the machine's built-in selection and designs can be purchased on card, CD or via the web as downloads. You can even create your own designs on PC with the optional design software. |  |

You'll love this colour touch-screen
Do it all from here: select a stitch or embroidery design, customize, add more designs or lettering, check the position before stitching out - it's just too easy! |  |
|
Clever screen!
Select a design and edit at the touch of your finger - now here's the really clever bit: as you move your finger across the screen the design moves with you, so you can easily position designs into the embroidery frame - no more guessing. You can then do a speeded up trial run without actually stitching the design; this way, you'll know the design is going to be sewn out in the correct position. |  |
|
Clever Machine!
9700 has sensors that bleep a warning and will eventually stop the machine should either lower or upper thread break or run too low. After replacing your thread, 9700 continues embroidering the design from where it left off. You can even back track to sew over any missed stitching that may have occurred as the thread ran out. Also, if you forget to lower the presser foot when starting to sew, the machine pleeps a warning and it will not run until the foot is lowered. |

Quick to change
Change quickly from ordinary sewing to embroidery (no awkward embroidery module needed) it's all built-in. Janome have design patents on their combined systems.
9700 is supplied with a 5" x 4.3" hoop and a large 5.5" x 7.9" hoop. And it works with optional Giga Hoop (9.1" x 7.9") and optional sleeve-arm hoop (2" x 2")
Because 9700 has the embroidery system built-in, you'll find there's greater accuracy with your embroidery, and the designs will come out neater than those produced on machines where a separate module has to be fitted.

Top-load Jam-proof bobbin
Bobbin is easily accessed on the bed of the machine and you can keep a check on its status via the see-through cover plate.

Built-in needle threading
Pull down the threader lever, place thread into threader hook and your needle will be threaded. |  |

Just where you need it!
Press the start/stop key if you don't want to use the foot pedal. Pre-select a speed range that you're comfortable with. Make the machine stop with the needle in the up position (to withdraw your work) or have it stopping down to turn you fabric easily. Use the reverse button to fasten off seams or use the tie off on the spot facility. There all here right at your fingertips! |  |
|
7 point feed dog system
Gives better performance on fabrics ranging from the most difficult synthetic jerseys, slippery satins, right up to multiple layers of heavy denim or vinyl and leather
