Janome 1200D Professional Coverstitch Overlocker

The Janome 1200D is a top-of-the-range, professional-grade combination machine that functions as both a full-featured overlocker (serger) and a cover hem machine. It is often described as "three machines in one" because it can perform overlocking, cover hemming, and top cover stitching, allowing you to create ready-to-wear garments with an industrial-style finish .

Key Features

• 3-in-1 Functionality: Easily converts between an Overlocker, a Cover Hem, and a Top Cover Hem machine without needing to change the needle plate for most operations .

• Automatic Tension: The machine features automatic tension settings. It selects the correct tension for each stitch, providing consistent, high-quality results and giving the user added confidence .

• Versatile Stitching: Offers a wide variety of stitches including 2, 3, 4, and 5-thread overlock, flatlock, blanket stitches, chain stitch, and coverstitch .

• Easy Rolled Hem: The machine features a quick-change rolled hem function, eliminating the need to change the needle plate or presser foot .

• Differential Feed: A built-in differential feed mechanism helps prevent puckering on lightweight fabrics and stretching on knits, ensuring a smooth finish on various materials .

• User-Friendly Design: It includes a built-in needle threader, color-coded thread guides, a detailed threading chart on the machine, and a safety lock-out on the presser foot .
