Memory Craft 9850 Convenience Features Easy convenience buttons: Right by the needle, you’ll find a start/stop button for sewing without the foot control and a reverse button. There is also a locking stitch button and needle up/down button. Start/stop button: The start/stop button allows the machine to sew without using the foot pedal. This feature is great for sewing long seams or for quick mending. Easy reverse button: The reverse button allows you to easily backstitch for locking seams. With the tip of your finger, this conveniently located button can also be used to stop a stitch pattern before its completion. Locking stitch button The locking stitch button ties off the end of the thread. No need to backstitch to lock a seam. This is ideal for securing seams on delicate fabrics or when using decorative stitches. One-hand needle threader: Thread the machine up to the needle and then let the built-in needle threader take over to get the thread through the eye of the needle. LCD display The high resolution touch screen contains large dimensions and vivid colors, so its much easier to see what you're creating. What will you create with the Janome Memory Craft 9850? Additional Features One-step needle plate conversion 7 Piece feed dog 6 One-Step Buttonholes Built-in Needle Threader Snap-on presser feet Maximum Stitch width: 9mm Maximum Stitch length: 5mm Review: 9mm Beautiful Stitches - I bought this machine because of the 9mm stitch width and all the beautiful stiches designs, plus it runs smooth and easy to understand. Hope it lasts many years of service, Janome has a very good reputation with their sewing machines. I like the machine so far and I am enjoying doing some little projects for my newborn grandchild. Review: Great Combo Machine - I bought this 9 months ago and have been regularly using it as my primary sewing machine and as an embroidery machine. I was replacing a 25+ yr old Kenmore Elite (which got heavy sewing use by me) and looking to start to get into embroidery. I didn't want to pay for 2 machines, so I sought out a sewing/embroidery combo machine. Pros: great features for the money - lots of great convenience things, great "starter" embroidery machine (especially if you're not sure how much embroidery you'll do), lots of accessories (especially presser feet), and active social media community of owners of this machine who are happy to help answer questions. Cons: machine is heavy, additional accessories usually have to be Janome brand to fit (which can be expensive), the machine is designed for intermediate to experienced sewing- definitely not something that I would recommend to someone just learning how to sew. Overall, if you sew, do light embroidery and don't want to spend a fortune on 2 machines, this is a GREAT purchase.
