What comes with my machine?
Janome equips every machine with some basic standard accessories so you can start sewing right after you take your machine out of the box! These vary from model to model so here’s a list of what comes with the EL1000:
Zigzag foot
Sliding buttonhole foot
Blind hem foot
Zipper foot
Needle set
Plastic bobbin (2)
Seam ripper
Dust cover
These accessories are fitted into the carton by Elna. We recommend all packaging and labelling is kept somewhere safe as it has all the specially designed packing foam to transport your machine safely! Whether it’s storage, moving house, bringing it in for servicing or shipping a machine through post – for whichever reason, this box is essential in keeping your sewing machine damage-free!
What's So Great About These Accessories?
A Foot
You can get away with most projects with only one sewing foot – but geez don’t some of these specialty feet make jobs so much easier?! All sewing machines will have a straight and a zig zag stitch, with some variations in between at the most basic level. Your most common sewing foot will be your Zigzag Foot or ‘A’ Foot. It has both a vertical and horizontal slot to accommodate needle movement in either direction.
Sliding Buttonhole Foot
What’s this about ‘automatic buttonholes’? Yes! This machine can do a buttonhole in one easy step. Unlike older machines that force you to pencil out the measurement and turn the dial at every corner, the automatic buttonhole ‘R’ foot allows you to size up the perfect buttonhole and frames it up for easy sewing.
Bobbins
Now one thing we can never have too many of are the Janome & Elna Universal Plastic Bobbins. This is the little spool that you use in the bottom of your machine to help form the stitch, and you use the bobbin winder on top of your machine to wind your choice of thread so your colours match on both sides of the fabric. Most modern machines prefer the use of plastic bobbins because unless advised otherwise, metal bobbins can damage your machine.
Needles
You can’t sew without needles! Janome & Elna include a small pack of mixed sharp needles to help you get started. Sharps are your standard sewing needle, and range in sizes depending on the weight of fabric you need them for. The average sewing fabric uses a size 14 sharp needle, and it’s recommended that you change your needle every 6-8 sewing hours – even if it’s not broken they can go blunt! There are many types too, so don’t forget to browse other needle types for your next project.
Spool Holders
Most sewing machines will now provide horizontal spool caps or holders, so the thread winds off the spool the same way it has been wound on, in an even and consistent manner. To keep the spool from dancing around, Elna provides spool caps to affix your thread and help it unwind properly. You receive both small and large spool caps, but we recommend the small for most threads as it doesn’t interfere with the path of smaller spools.
All other standard accessories are little things to help maintain your machine, like lint brushes for cleaning out the bobbin case, and a screw key so you can get to the bobbin case. If you have any other enquires about these items, just let us know and we can help you identify them and their potential uses.
We hope this helps you know what you’re looking for. You’re another step closer to finding your perfect machine!
