3160QDC-G
Experience precision, portability, and professional-grade stitch quality with the Janome 3160QDC-G computerized sewing and quilting machine! Built to handle everything from everyday garment construction to complex quilting, this versatile machine combines an intuitive LCD screen with Janome's exclusive Superior Plus Feed System for flawlessly even feeding across all fabric types. Featuring 60 built-in stitches, full one-touch button convenience, a generous extension table, and free-arm conversion, the 3160QDC-G offers complete creative control for sewists of all skill levels.
Clearly displays your selected stitch pattern number, recommended presser foot, and stitch width/length settings.
Effortlessly threads your machine in seconds, saving setup time and eliminating eye strain.
Specialized box feeding movement for smooth, even fabric feeding across delicate knits, heavy denim, and layered quilts.
Automatic needle up/down, thread cutter, locking stitch, start/stop, speed slider, and reverse — all hands-free.
Digital Guidance
LCD Screen & Digital Selection
Take the guesswork out of stitch setup. The clear LCD screen acts as your digital sewing assistant, indicating your chosen stitch number, optimal presser foot choice, and precise stitch width and length dimensions at a glance.
Ease of Use
Built-In Needle Threader
Bypass the struggle of threading fine needle eyes manually. The integrated needle threader utilizes a swift mechanism to pull thread through the eye cleanly, letting you swap colors quickly and stay focused on your creative flow.
Even Feeding
Superior Plus Feed, 7-Piece Feed Dog
Maintain complete fabric control across all material weights. The 7-piece feed dog configuration stays parallel to the presser foot as it moves, providing consistent box feeding that keeps lightweight sheer fabrics flat and prevents thick quilt layers from shifting.
Hands-Free Control
One-Touch Function Buttons
Streamline your workflow with centralized front-panel controls. Trim thread tails with the automatic thread cutter, program needle position, tie off decorative seams using the lock stitch button, or sew foot-free with the start/stop button and speed control slider.
Versatility
Free Arm Conversion
Effortlessly sew narrow, tubular items like sleeve cuffs, trouser hems, and tote bag openings. Simply detach the accessory storage tray to convert your flatbed sewing surface into a slim free arm in seconds.
More Workspace
Quilting Extension Table
Expand your workspace for large-scale projects. The included extra-wide extension table snaps into place easily, providing extra support to keep heavy quilt tops, curtains, and bulky garments flat and easy to manage.
Stay Organized
On-Board Accessory Storage
Keep your sewing space tidy and organized. The detachable extension bed features built-in storage compartments designed to keep extra bobbins, presser feet, seam rippers, and needles organized and ready for travel.
