speed of up to 1000
stitches per minute,
the MC6500P is the
fastest home sewing
machine we’ve ever
made, which means
you can finish what
you start quickly and
easily.
AUTOMATIC THREAD CUTTER
Now there’s no need to stop,lift the presser foot, and manually
cut your thread tails. A Quick Key directly above the needle
engages the Automatic Thread Cutter and accurately snips your
thread.You can also program the machine to clip your thread at
the end of a custom stitch sequence.
»9” x 5” (225mm x 120mm)
The largest arm and bed space of
any household sewing machine.
» EASY ACCESS FEED DOG CONTROL
For quilting or other free-motion sewing,you can quickly
drop the feed dogs.The lever is right on the front of the
machine.
» KNEE LIFTER
It lifts the presser foot while leaving the needle in place so you can
keep your hands on your work. A favorite feature of quilters, it’s also
very useful for garment and home dec projects. And just in case you
accidentally bump the lift while you’re sewing,the MC6500P has a
built-in safety feature that stops the machine and gives you a warning,
so you don’t break a needle or ruin your project.

French Knot, all your stitching will have
beautiful Janome quality.The
combination of a powerful motor and
precision gearing gives you accurate,
professional grade stitching at any

reach right above the sewing
area. Plus, the Automatic Thread
Cutter and Needle Up/Down keys
have indicator lights, so you never
have to guess if they’re turned on.
« PRESSURE REGULATOR WITH
VISIBLE PRESSURE GAUGE
Sometimes bulky layers of fabric
need more pressure from the
foot; sometimes sheer fabrics
need less.The MC6500P lets you
control how firmly the foot is
pressing on your fabric.The
Visible Pressure Gauge shows
you the exact position of your
ideal setting so you can get the
same results every time.
» INDEPENDENT BOBBIN WINDER
Now,when you need to wind
another bobbin, you don’t have to
stop and unthread the machine.

with an Independent Bobbin
Winding Motor.Wind your bobbin
while you keep sewing.
