Janome Continental M6 LBQ Sewing & Quilting Machine

Description

🧵 Continental-Sized Workspace for Serious Quilting

The Janome Continental M6 LBQ is designed for sewists who want the space and performance of Janome’s Continental platform in a dedicated sewing and quilting machine.

The first thing you’ll notice is the size. With approximately 13.5 inches of workspace to the right of the needle, the M6 LBQ provides substantially more room than a conventional sewing machine. Large quilts can be rolled and maneuvered through the throat much more comfortably, while the machine’s seamless all-metal flatbed creates a smooth surface for supporting fabric.

⚡ Powerful Brushless DC Motor

The Continental M6 platform uses a brushless DC motor, delivering smooth, responsive performance with plenty of power for demanding sewing and quilting projects.

With sewing speeds up to 1,300 stitches per minute, the M6 LBQ is exceptionally fast for a full-featured computerized sewing and quilting machine.

🪡 Built With Quilters in Mind

This isn’t simply a large sewing machine. Janome equipped the M6 LBQ with features specifically designed for quilting.

The machine includes Ruler Work Mode, dedicated free-motion quilting feet, a ruler work foot, straight-stitch needle plate, 1/4″ seam foot with guide, QuiltBlockAdvisor, and Variable Zig Zag capability for free-motion work. The feed dogs can also be dropped when you want complete control over fabric movement.

For layered fabric feeding, the M6 LBQ is compatible with Janome’s patented AcuFeed Flex walking foot for integrated dual feed, available as an optional accessory.
