Easy to Thread is only the beginning...

Your AT2000D overlocker will soon be your best friend - because it is capable of *a lot* more than a standard overlocker!

Air-Threading aside, your new Janome AT2000D is designed to...
 

• 4 THREAD OVERLOCK SAFETY STITCH
  The stitch employs both needles and stretches without breaking. It is excellent for sewing knit & loose fitting woven garments.
• 3 THREAD OVERLOCK STANDARD
  Popular for garment construction on medium to heavyweight fabric. Generally used as an edge finish on single layers of fabric.
• 3 THREAD OVERLOCK NARROW
  Commonly used for garment construction and lingerie with light to medium weight fabrics.
• 2 THREAD OVERCAST
  The needle and lower looper threads form an edge finish that is lightweight and flat. Often used as an open seam edge on lightweight fabrics.
• 3 THREAD ROLLED HEM
  Excellent for hemming on medium to lightweight single layer fabrics, on scarves, napkins and ruffles. It can also be used to create decorative pintucks.
• 2 THREAD ROLLED HEM
  Since there are only 2 threads, the result is lighter and finer than the 3 thread version. This is suitable for fabrics like chiffon and also used for bridal veil edging.
• PICOT EDGE
  Hem finish with a slightly scalloped appearance, used to hem sheers and lightweight delicate fabrics. Works well on chiffon, georgette and fine knits.
• LETTUCE LEAF EDGE
  3 thread rolled hem using the differential feed. A popular decorative wavy edging on stretch fabric. Can be used for more dramatic curves if used with a nylon cord. The differential feed controls the speed of fabric which can be used to either create more wave or to ease stretch and puckers.
• FLATLOCK 3 & 2 THREAD
  3 thread is perfect for joining fleece and knit fabrics. Can also be used as a decorative accent with heavier threads to resemble the top cover stitch seen on sportswear. 2 thread is ideal for joining lace to silk on lingerie. The reverse side looks like a ladder stitch.

 You can achieve endless combination with these functions - quickly & easily!

Overlocker Threading!!!

Discover all the things you can do...

4 THREAD OVERLOCK SAFETY STITCH

The stitch is strong enough to hold seams that endures wear & tear, because it stretches without breaking. It is excellent for sewing knit & loose fitting woven garments.

The safety stitch is a rare feature in domestic overlockers - so grab this one if you need it!


3 THREAD OVERLOCK STANDARD

Popular for garment construction on medium to heavyweight fabric. Generally used as an edge finish on single layers of fabric.

This is perfect for finishing raw edges of seam alloweances, where there is less stress on the seams.


3 THREAD OVERLOCK NARROW

Commonly used for garment construction and lingerie with light to medium weight fabrics.

You'd fins this stitch useful for projects that needed a smaller seam allowance, where the regular overlocking might be too wide and heavy.


2 THREAD OVERCAST

The needle and lower looper threads form an edge finish that is lightweight and flat. Often used as an open seam edge on lightweight fabrics.

Do you pre-wash fabric? Use this stitch to secure your raw edges so that your fabric doesn't fray away in the wash.


3 THREAD ROLLED HEM

Excellent for hemming on medium to lightweight single layer fabrics, on scarves, napkins and ruffles - consider using wooly nylon thread forbetter coverage especially if your fabric frays.

I like to use it on scrunchies - in contrasting thread colour!


2 THREAD ROLLED HEM

Since there are only 2 threads, the result is lighter and finer than the 3 thread version. This is suitable for evening fabrics like chiffon, silks and also used for bridal veil edging.

Ballroom & other dance costumes really come alive with this finish.


PICOT EDGE

Hem finish with a slightly scalloped appearance, used to hem sheers and lightweight delicate fabrics. Works well on batiste, cotton voile, lawn, chiffon, georgette and fine knits.

Excellent for finishing handkerchiefs, bandanas & pocket squares!


LETTUCE LEAF EDGE

3 thread rolled hem using the differential feed. A popular decorative wavy edging on stretch fabric. Can be used for more dramatic curves if used with a nylon cord. The differential feed controls the speed of fabric which can be used to either create more wave or to ease stretch and puckers.


FLATLOCK 3 & 2 THREAD

3 thread is perfect for joining fleece and knit fabrics. Can also be used as a decorative accent with heavier threads to resemble the top cover stitch seen on sportswear. 2 thread is ideal for joining lace to silk on lingerie. The reverse side looks like a ladder stitch.

Not All Sewing Machines Are Made Equal...


Take a peek: an X-Ray view if you will.

As a demonstration - take a look inside a Janome JR1012 (for example) with a see-through exterior.

You can easily see - inside every Janome there is REAL metal (aluminium die-cast to be exact) that can be found in even the most inexpensive, entry level Janome. The die-cast aluminium frame in a Janome provides the strength and stability required for the precise action of the sewing machine needle and mechanism.

The exterior is just that - a shell - and not part of the structure of the machine.

Unfortunately there are other brands of sewing machine on the market in Australia right now that have no internal frame (let along metal). It means the components are merely attached to the outer plastic shell of the machine. There is simply not enough rigidity for high speed movements! With Janome, there is always inner structrual support  which means your sewing machine performs better, and it lasts longer. Buy Well, Buy Once.

 

 

We have been fortunate enough to source a few of these excellent machines for Our Customers....

 

IMPORTANT

Your Machine is Well Protected for Safe Travel.....

So when you open the box, your will find the new Janome AirThread 2000D nice and snug inside its own foam cut-out.

I always make sure that my customers keep these foam cut-outs along with the box it came in - just in case you need to move house or put your machine into storage.

Also, in the highly unlikely event where you may need to send the machine back to us for a any reason, the machine will need to reach us in all of its original package, because we cannot be responsible for any damage incurred in transit.

The best way to ensure safe travel for your machine is to simply KEEP every bit of the packaging and put them back inside the box, then just store the box out of the way. Easy!

     


What sort of thread does this machine take?
Do I need to buy cones of thread, or can I use my normal spools?

It's up to you.

This machine takes cones or spools, so you can either use your sewing threads, or specialty threads on cones for overlockers.

See how the cone holders can be removed easily off the spool pins, which allows for smaller spools of thread to be used.

 

The main thing to keep in mind is whether your thread is suitable to the fabric you are using. When in doubt, do a little test on a scrap of the fabric you intend to use.


What is the difference between serging, overlock, flatlock and coverstitch?

In general, if you're from North America, you use a serger, and if you're from the UK, NZ, or Australia, then you use an overlocker. The two terms are interchangeable and both refer to the same type of machine.

"Serging" or "overlocking"  is the act of "sewing" using a serger / overlocker.

Overlocking or Overlock (stitch) refers to a 4 thread serge / overlock stitch.

Flatlock is a technique in which two pieces of fabric are serged / overlocked together and then pulled apart slightly to achieve a flat stitch which connects the two pieces of fabric.

Coverstitch is the stitch that you see on ready to wear garments at hem lines.

 

Does this model do "coverstitch" as well ?

No. This machine does not have a coverstitch - or coverhem, as it is sometimes called.

It is a standard overlocker that does two, three or four thread overlocking stitch, specifically for finishing edges on knits or woven fabrics.

To do coverstitch, you need to buy an expensive, high-end model, or a separate coverstitch machine.... and, coverstitch machines often don't do overlocking anyway.

Most domestic machine users are happily sewing with an overlocker along side their regular sewing machine. This will get most of your sewing needs covered.

If and when you find the needs to do lots of coverstitching, then consider investing in a separate coverstitch machine - like the Janome CoverPro. Otherwise there is no need for the extra expense.


Do I still need a separate sewing machine ?

Yes. This machine is an overlocker, and it does NOT replace a regulare sewing machine.

The main function of the overlocker is to finish the raw edges to stop the fabric unravel or fray - so that the finished garment can be worn and washed!

Sure, by overlocking two pieces of fabrics together you've essentially join the pieces and made a seam. But the overlocking does NOT replace a regular straight seam done by a sewing machine.

This is because the sewing machine stitches hold the pieces together properly, while the overlocking stitches takes care of the raw edges. Different purposes altogether :-)

Just turn whatever you're wearing inside out and have a look - you'd see a row of straight stitching next to the overlocked edges.

 

Sounds Good - but why wouldn't I buy directly from Janome?

Great question!

Here's something most people didn't know: Janome Australia doesn't deal directly with the public. Neither does Janome USA or Janome UK.

Actually, the authentic Janome website won't let you place orders. You can find all sorts of information there, but you won't find an "Add to Cart" button if you're looking at the real deal.

In case you come across any website with "Janome" in the name that you could buy from - chances are, you've found someone who'd like you to think that you're dealing directly with Janome Australia themselves. Which isn't the case.

Think about it for a second: when someone is prepared to hide the truth about who they really are, what else might they be hiding?


Why should I shop with you over a dealer with a brick-and-mortar shop?

Yes, it is true that we ARE an online store. We do not have a physical shop front.

That means we take online shopping seriously - because this is ALL we do. This is our life's work and we are 100% commited to look after YOU.

Not having a physical shop front means YOU have our undivided attention.

When you shop with us, there will be no distractions, no other customers to fight over, no waiting in line just to ask a question. It's just you, the products you want, and really detailed description plus heaps of photos (that we take ourselves) to make sure that you know exactly what you are ordering. That's our way of making shopping (and sewing) easier for you!

Instead of worrying about rents, keeping up appearances, and going into price-war with other dealers, our sole focus in on how we can make your shopping experience with us as enjoyable as possible. Because life to too short for poor services and you deserve the BEST - afterall, shopping and sewing should be fun. Right?

 

 

I would like to buy more than one. Can you do a better deal?

Absolutely. Group purchases and wholesale enquiries welcome. 

Our clients include small business owners in dressmaking / tailoring or alteration, group and schools, as well as craft enthusiast / artisans who sell their creations for additional income.

Email us if you want to purchase more than one, or simply make us an offer..... you might be pleasantly surprised!
