Janome Unveils New Memory Craft Embroidery Machine Line

MAHWAH, NJ – July 25, 2025 — Janome America, Inc., a leader in sewing innovation for over a century, proudly announces the launch of its new Memory Craft Embroidery Machine Series. This revitalized lineup combines cutting-edge technology, user-friendly design, and affordability. The new series includes the Memory Craft 9850LE, Memory Craft 1000, and Memory Craft 100E, all crafted to make professional-quality embroidery more accessible than ever.
