Janome Continental M7 Professional Sewing Machine
Discover unparalleled performance, expansive features, and superior control for all your sewing projects.
Key Features
Superior Needle Threader & High Visibility
Threading is simplified: set your thread, push the lever on the left, release, and sew. This time-saving feature ensures faster sewing. Its advanced design precisely guides the thread through the needle eye every time. The streamlined machine head offers excellent visibility around the needle area.
Convenience at Your Fingertips
The Easy Convenience Features enhance your sewing time. Key functions are placed for effortless access: Start/Stop button, Reverse, Locking Stitch, Needle Up/Down, and Thread Cutter. The Automatic Presser Foot Lift is also included.
Bright & Vivid Lighting & Screen
The large, 7-inch HD touchscreen provides a bright, tablet-like experience. Enhanced LED lighting illuminates your workspace with shadow-free coverage, viewable with the readily available AcuView™ magnifier.
Ample Work Area
Designed for larger projects, the M7 offers an industry-leading 13.5 inches to the right of the needle and 17.81 inches of total work area. The needle area is sleek and trim for easy viewing. An optional extra-wide extension table (26.77 x 15.75 inches) provides even more workspace.
Computerized One-Touch Needle Plate Conversion
No screws or tools are necessary. Simply push an on-screen button to release the current needle plate and insert a new one. The M7 automatically secures the new plate using a patented magnetic system. It includes three standard needle plates: zigzag, straight stitch, and the Professional Grade HP plate.
SFS-i (Intelligent Feed System)
The new SFS-i system keeps the feed dogs down and out of the way, allowing easy fabric positioning. As soon as you start sewing, the feed dogs engage to perfectly grab the fabric.
AcuFeed™ Flex Plus
This system perfectly feeds fabric from the top, ideal for quilting, precise piecing, and sewing that requires consistent fabric handling.
Stitches, Feet & Extras
The M7 includes an extensive package of necessities: 400 stitches (including 52 hand-style stitches), 23 standard feet, and 32 additional sewing accessories. The Extra-Wide table features a built-in accessory storage drawer, supporting free-motion quilting and other large projects.
Independent Bobbin Winding Motor
An independent bobbin motor allows you to wind a bobbin without stopping your sewing. Set up your bobbin, press the winding button, and continue sewing while the bobbin winds simultaneously.
Stable Running
This is a reliable and robust sewing machine. Featuring an industry-first DC brushless motor for single-needle home sewing machines, it offers greater efficiency. The main shaft is equipped with ball bearings, providing low torque for powerful and stable operation, even at high speeds.
Extra Large Seamless Flatbed Workspace
The seamless, heavy-duty, powder-coated, all-metal flatbed provides an uninterrupted sewing area with 13.5 inches (343mm) to the right of the needle. The workspace height is 5.51 inches (140mm), enabling completion of any sewing project with ease.
Precision Stitch Adjustment
Tactile exterior dials, including multi-function rotary encoders, are preferred by active sewists for adjusting stitch width, length, and other functions.
Pro Features: Precision, Strength, Speed
Experience breakthrough power capacity, precision, and speed with automatic needle plate conversions, ruler work capabilities, and an extra-large workspace.
Big Ideas? No Problem!
The large 13.5-inch seamless flatbed sewing surface allows for more sewing time and less project manipulation. With 5.51 inches of height between the machine body and sewing bed, and an additional 3.15 inches in the needle area, the Continental M7 offers the largest workspace of any household-use sewing machine.

We've Got the Power
Engineered with a newly redesigned motor, the M7 delivers powerful penetration and needle force, enabling you to easily tackle heavyweight home decor fabrics like canvas for your decorating projects.
Avoiding Empty Bobbin Pitfalls
The advanced Optical Bobbin Monitoring System constantly watches your bobbin thread supply. You will receive a warning as soon as the bobbin thread gets low, preventing interruptions mid-seam.
Control, Power, Accuracy
Enjoy 1,300 stitches per minute (SPM) with Intelli-Feed™ and AcuFeed™ Flex Plus, supported by technology-driven on-board help apps.
Meeting Your Need for Speed and Strength
As the fastest top-loading home sewing machine, the Continental M7 utilizes a DC brushless motor for 1,300 SPM without compromising strength or stability. Its full metal frame and Janome's vibration suppression ensure a smooth, high-performance sewing experience.
Your Favorite Sewing Applications...Expanded
The built-in Sewing Applications mode automatically sets up the machine and recommends the correct foot. New functions include zipper insertion, heirloom techniques, and settings for optional accessories like the Ultra Glide foot.
Doing the Math for You: Quilt Block Advisor
The Quilt Block Advisor assists with calculating cutting sizes for traditional quilt patterns like Nine Patch, Log Cabin, and Baby Blocks, breaking down each section and providing precise measurements including seam allowance.
Sewing Projects & Decorative Stitches
Explore creative possibilities with 9mm decorative stitches that can be reduced, programmed, or manipulated to resemble hand-sewn stitches. Use expanded Sewing Applications with optional decorative feet for techniques like couching and piping. Intelli-feed ensures beautiful stitch results.
