Features & Benefits Brochure (.pdf)

Experience the Horizon Memory Craft 12000

With a 15" embossed stainless steel plate in the bed and 11" to the right of the needle, it has the most workspace of any Janome. It has the largest, most stable embroidery system we’ve ever developed. It will change the way you create, and make the creative journey more enjoyable than ever before.

Real-Time PC Connection With Horizon Link™

It’s easy to create and edit designs on the touchscreen. But it’s even easier when you can do the same thing in real time on your computer. Use your mouse to drag, drop and edit. This means your editing screen can be as large as your computer monitor. Or take your laptop with you to edit on the go.

 

 

AcuFeed Flex™ Layered Fabric Feeding System

Our AcuFeed system has been a favorite among quilters for its amazing precision and power. Now it’s even better. AcuFeed Flex™ is easy to remove and comes in two widths with multiple feet to address different tasks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stitch Composer™: Create Your Own Stitches

Don’t just modify existing stitches. Design your own original decorative stitches from scratch. Using the Stitch Composer™, it’s easy. And your Memory Craft 12000 can use your new creation just like one of its own built-in stitches, altering length and width and adding it to combinations.

 

 

 

 

Introducing The Linear Motion Embroidery System™

It slips neatly onto the back of your machine to give you a bigger embroidery area than ever before, with even greater accuracy. So discreet and sleek, you can leave it attached for regular sewing. So cleverly engineered, it makes the MC12000 the only home-use sewing machine to allow Free Arm embroidery: a Janome exclusive.

 

 

   

 

Four New Embroidery Hoops

The extra large embroidery area lets you use four hoops with amazing new capabilities. The largest, the huge GR Hoop, gives you 9.1" x 11.8" of embroidery area. It includes special magnets to aid in fabric stability. The SQ Hoop has been extended to 9.1" x 9.1" and there's also a 5.5" x 5.5" square hoop. The Free Arm Hoop (FA10) allows you to embroider in hard-to-reach places.

 

 

 

 

Easy Pivoting With The Auto Presser Foot Lift

The Auto Presser Foot Lift automatically lifts the presser foot after a thread cut, when you’ve pressed the thread snip button, or after a programmed thread cut at the end of a row of decorative stitches. You keep your hands on your project for optimum control.

 

 

 

 

 Stitch Up To 9mm Wide

The extra width makes all your decorative stitches bolder and more distinct. Most of the 425 built-in stitches take full advantage of the 9mm width. You get twenty feet, newly designed for a 9mm stitch width, included with your machine.

 

 

 

 

One-Step Needle Plate Conversion

For piecing quilts, sewing light fabric or doing embroidery, a straight stitch needle plate makes all the difference. Now you can switch your needle plate in just seconds. Instead of undoing screws, simply push one lever to release the plate, then snap the new plate in place.

 

 

 

 

Change The Width Of Your Zigzag While Sewing

Start your Free Motion Quilting or Surface Designing with a straight stitch. Then widen to a 9mm zigzag without stopping or ever taking your hands off your fabric. With Variable Zigzag, you use the knee lifter to broaden and taper stitches while sewing.

 

 

 

 

Embroider At Higher Speeds With Better Precision

Janome engineering allows the Memory Craft 12000 to embroider at up to 1,000 stitches per minute. And because the compact embroidery unit is so stable, you can stitch at this speed with hoops up to 9.1" x 11.8" without losing any Janome stitch quality.

 

 

 

 

A Sewing Bed With 15" Of Embossed Stainless Steel

Not only does the Memory Craft 12000 have more work space than any other Janome, the sewing bed features a 15" stainless steel plate embossed with useful measurements. 11" to the right of the needle gives you plenty of room for your biggest projects. 

 

 

 

 

 

91 Needle Positions

You don’t have to settle for “close enough.” Thanks to a 9mm stitch width, the Memory Craft 12000 is capable of more precise detail than ever on every decorative stitch. Position the needle with unprecedented accuracy for smoother transitions and perfect curves.

 

 

 

 

Free Motion Quilting Is Freer Than Ever

Precision stitching, more decorative choices, and automatic features make expressing yourself through FMQ easier than ever. And now, you can also customize the foot height for your project and preference, then save the settings to memory. Or let Auto Pressure and Auto Height adjust for you.

 

 

 

 

See It All More Clearly With The HighLight

In addition to lighting your work area with 10 built-in LEDs in five locations, you can also add greater illumination in the area where you need it most: directly under the needle. Just extend the retractable HighLight and aim it up or down, depending where you need the light. When you're done, it slides back into its slot.

 

 

 

 

The New AcuView Magnifier

When you really need to get a closer view, attach the AcuView Magnifier. With 1.5x magnification it makes it easy to see the tiniest detail under the needle. And it can be used in conjunction with the HighLight.

This is a machine so well designed and built, it’s like an extension of your own two hands.

The Horizon Memory Craft 12000 was engineered to be forgotten. Because you never need to worry about performance, you can focus all your energy on your projects. That is when the journey starts and creativity blooms.

Connects Wirelessly To Your iPad®, Laptop &

PC Via Your Home's Wireless Connection

Your machine is designed to work with your favorite tech

devices without having to hook up a bunch of cables.

The MC15000 has built-in wireless connectivity to your

laptop, your PC, and now, via the AcuMonitor™ and

AcuEdit™ apps included with purchase, to your iPad®.

 

           

 Create Design Layouts With The AcuEdit™ App

It's like opening up the touch screen on your iPad®. This app utilizes the complete MC15000 embroidery editing suite. AcuEdit™ functions include: Move, Rotate, Enlarge/Reduce, Mirror image, Vertical flip, Centering, Cornering, Copy and Paste, monogramming tools, and more. Users can import designs from the machine to the app and then send back the finished layout when it's ready to be stitched out.

AcuEdit™ is easy to use and yet powerful enough to create complex design layouts.

Check Embroidery Progress With The AcuMonitor™ App

While your MC15000 is embroidering away in your sewing room, take your iPad® to the kitchen and still keep tabs on the stitch out. AcuMonitor™ is the app designed to monitor your machine using your home's wireless network. You can use it to check embroidery progress, check your machine's status, and view a list of all thread colors for the design which is being embroidered.

Both apps are free to download through the Apple App Store and require an iPad® running iOS 6.0 or later. If you own an iPad® with these specs, you're invited to test drive the apps. To do this, open the App Store on your iPad®. Search for Janome. Find the AcuEdit™ and AcuMonitor™ apps and install them.

To try out the editing features on the AcuEdit™ on an iPad®, open the app and tap the flower icon down in the lower left corner of the screen. Tap the sample flower design, which will open up. Tap Done and the sample design will be imported into the edit screen. Tap the tool box icon to open up the editing tools. To try out the lettering, tap the Alphabet icon in the lower left corner of the main screen.

To preview the functionality of the AcuEdit™ on an iPad®, launch the app and tap the gears icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Turn on Demo Mode and press done. You'll be able to see what it looks like to monitor an embroidery stitch out.

Our Super-Precise Embroidery Unit Gives You Fantastic Stitch Quality Janome Memory Craft embroidery machines have always set the standard for professional-quality embroidery. And the unit on the MC15000 takes this legacy even further. The unit utilizes three Linear Motion Guides with five ball bearing blocks to give an extremely stable and accurate embroidery motion. The result is embroidery stitch quality you simply can't find on any other brand. Created using technology developed for high precision industrial robots, the embroidery mechanism movement is accurate to within hundredths of an inch. Yet it is so stable and reliable, it comes with a 25 year warranty against mechanical failure. And you can leave it on when you're doing your regular sewing.

The Bigger Screen Makes The Onscreen Embroidery Tools Even Easier One of the reasons for the bigger, higher resolution screen is to make your onscreen editing as effortless as possible. Using your finger or the provided stylus, you can quickly create embroidery layouts. All your standard editing tools are included--like Cut, Copy, Paste, Duplicate, Rotate, etc. Plus advanced tools like Cornering, Centering, Letter Arcing & Spacing, and Color Sorting to group your thread colors for fewer thread changes.

New Faster Processor Speeds Your Embroidery Tasks The MC15000 has a new internal processor that's twice as fast as its predecessor. You'll notice onscreen changes happen more quickly, especially in processor-intensive tasks like embroidery design transfers. This means you can open designs from your USB drive to your Ready to Sew screen 30% faster. Save designs to your USB drive 50% faster. And import designs from your USB drive to your Edit screen 370% faster.
