The front of the Janome 2212 sewing machine is designed for intuitive, beginner-friendly operation, with a clean layout that places all essential controls and information within easy reach .

Here is a detailed description of its front-facing components and features:

Overall First Impression

The front panel has a classic, utilitarian look dominated by a large, pre-printed stitch chart that clearly displays the 12 built-in stitches available . This allows you to select the perfect stitch for tasks like mending, crafting, or quilting . The machine's body is white, and its face is uncluttered, making it feel approachable for a new sewist .

Key Controls and Dials

The primary controls are prominent and easy to understand:

• Stitch Selector Dial: Located on the right side of the front panel, this large, easy-turn dial allows you to quickly choose from the 12 built-in stitches, including a four-step buttonhole style .

• Stitch Length Dial: Situated just to the left of the stitch selector, this knob lets you adjust the stitch length up to a maximum of 4mm, giving you control from a basting stitch to a tightly finished seam .

• Reverse Stitch Lever: Below the stitch length dial, you'll find a dedicated reverse lever. Pressing it down locks your stitches in place at the beginning and end of a seam for durability
