Finally - the Best Value Machine for Free-Motion Quilting: Meet The MC9480 QCP
Let's face it - Free Motion Quilting isn't easy. In fact, you might even say "terrifying" (and you wouldn't be the first one to feel that way). I get it.
Not everyone has the knack of stippling / meandering / quilting freehand without the help of a feed dog. I know I don't - and that's ok.
Because now Janome has a new stitch regulator that will change the way you quilt. How? By making sure your stitches are nice and even, so you no longer have to worry about that. Instead, your precious sewing sessions are now filled with ease and grace. Getting your quilts done at home is effortless with satisfying results - so you can fall in love with sewing again - imagine that!
Wanna know more? Read on...
Janome's new Accurate Stitch Regulator (known as A.S.R for short) is ONLY available in very few models. The Horizon Memory Craft 9480 QCP is the most affordable one. Replacing the MC9450 we all loved, there's even MORE to love about the Janome MC9480 because it will take your quilting and dressmaking projects to a whole new level, so you can simply unleash your creativity, and let the machine give you a professional finish - quickly and easily!
How does ASR (Accurate Stitch Regulator) actually work?
Ask anyone who tried free-motion quilting without a feed dog: the biggest problem is uneven stitch lengths - which happens unless you're skilled enough to move the fabric at the right speed while simultaneously pressing the pedal to match it (while remembering to breathe). Tricky, huh?
The Janome MC 9480 QC Professional has solved this for you: simply connect the ASR (the Accurate Stitch Regulator) to the sewing machine, it instantly takes over the control of the speed for free motion quilting. Once the machine starts, the fabric gets moved automatically at matching speed: the faster the fabric is pushed, the faster the MC 9480 sews. This makes it easy to create consistent stitch lengths without years of practice. You get to discover the joy of quilting your own, while producing beautiful results to amaze everyone. How satisfying would that feel..?!
You'll LOVE this machine because:
- ASR stitch regulator gives you beautifully even quilting stitches. First time, Every time ~
- Built-in Walking Foot - AcuFeed Flex for pucker-free multi-layer sewing. Great for difficult fabric too!
- Generous work space with 11" inch throat space plus the large extension table - you can dream BIG and make it real
- More than just quilting, dressmakers would LOVE the perfect stitches and seamlessly glide through garment construction with the powerful DC motor (stitching at up to 1060 SPM)
- You can never have enough light, this model gives you plenty with lighting in 4 locations including a retractable light, which lights the needle area, day and night
- The large flat high definition colour touch screen is easy to navigate, and the screen has been angled towards you to be more user friendly!
- The 400 built-in stitches are set out in their stitch families, there is a quick reference chart located in the lid of the machine. So handy
- Customise each stitch including buttonholes then save them as a favourite stitch.
- Enjoy a variety of pre-set stitch functions, ready to sew zips, blind hem, sewing on buttons, quilting, patchwork and lots more.
- Quilters and designers will appreciate the AcuFeed Flex Layered Fabric Feeding System, the Automatic Presser Foot Lift and the Electronic Automatic Tension Control.
- BONUS: there's even an app! The Janome AcuSpark2 App is like a digital instruction book with information on feet, stitches & techniques. So cool.
Sounds Impressive, huh? I'm just glad it gives you smooth, seamless sewing sessions - so you can make beautiful things for your loved ones to wear, carry or cuddle!

In general, larger items tend to be delivered by couriers, while small items tend to go by Aust Post.
How is my postage calculated?
Great question.
Depending on weight and dimension, some times we are able to do Flat Rate across Australia, so the postage is the same no matter where you are.
Other times we use the Built-in Calculated system provided by Aust Post, and your postage is calculated based on YOUR location.
Can I get it delivered to my P.O. Box?
Depends on the item (and its dimensions), because Aust Post have size restrictions and couriers are NOT allowed to deliver to a P.O. Box.
Please check with us when in doubt.
If you have nominated a P.O. box, and the item is within Aust Post size, then it will go by Aust Post. Most of the time, this is the case.
When your item is too big, or being sent directly from our supplier, then we need you to provide a physical address so we can send a courier.
Can I get my order sent to a different delivery address?
Your sure can!

A phone number would help too - this will avoid delays.

No worries, we will do our best. Just let us know.
Please give us as much notice as possible - especially for special occasions like birthdays!

Please contact us first so we can update your invoice to show the correct amount.
