Memory Craft 100E
Set your imagination free with the Janome Memory Craft 100E (MC100E) computerized dedicated embroidery machine! Purpose-built for crafters and embroidery enthusiasts seeking specialized precision without paying for sewing functions they don't need, the MC100E offers a compact footprint with an integrated rear swing-out embroidery arm. Featuring a generous 5.5" x 5.5" (140mm x 140mm) embroidery field, 274 built-in designs across 18 categories, 11 embroidery fonts, and an intuitive 3.5" color LCD touchscreen, this machine makes monogramming, custom gifting, and home decor embellishments effortlessly rewarding.
Compact Workspace Efficiency: The rear-mounted embroidery carriage arm swings open with a lever, preserving valuable table space while providing a 5.5" x 5.5" hoop area. Folds away neatly for easy travel and storage.
Full Creative Editing Suite: Full-color LCD touchscreen lets you easily browse, select, and customize designs. Edit on-screen: scale designs (80% to 120%), rotate (1° to 45°), flip, arc text, combine lettering with motifs, and group elements.
Workflow Protection & Clean Execution: Light-based optical bobbin sensor tracks thread levels in real time and pauses stitching with an on-screen alert before bobbin runs out. Programmable automatic jump thread trimming and top/bobbin thread cutter ensure clean finishes.
Effortless Setup & Tubular Sewing: Superior Needle Threader 2 feeds thread through the needle eye accurately. Built-in free-arm capability (compatible with optional FA10e/FA5e hoops) lets you embroider sleeves, cuffs, socks, and baby clothes.
Rear Swing-Out Embroidery Arm
An Embroidery Arm That Folds Away When You're Done
The rear-mounted embroidery carriage swings open with a lever, giving you a 5.5" x 5.5" hoop area without a permanent side module eating up table space — and folds away neatly for easy travel and storage.
5.5" x 5.5" Embroidery Field
Room for Monograms, Motifs, and More
The included SQ14e hoop gives you a 5.5" x 5.5" embroidery field — enough room for monogramming, custom gifts, and home decor embellishments without needing a full-size embroidery machine.
274 Built-In Designs
274 Designs Across 18 Categories
Florals, lace, in-the-hoop projects, appliqué, name-tags, and more — 274 built-in designs spread across 18 categories mean a wide creative starting point before you ever load an outside file.
3.5" Color Touchscreen
Full Design Editing Without a Computer
The touchscreen handles the entire editing workflow on its own — scale from 80% to 120%, rotate in 1° increments up to 45°, flip, arc text, combine lettering with motifs, and group elements — all before the first stitch.
Optical Bobbin Sensor
Stitching Pauses Before the Bobbin Runs Dry
A light-based optical bobbin sensor tracks thread levels in real time and pauses stitching with an on-screen alert before the bobbin runs out — no guessing, and no ruined designs from an empty bobbin mid-stitch.
Superior Needle Threader 2
Threading That Doesn't Strain Your Eyes
Superior Needle Threader 2 feeds thread through the needle eye accurately and automatically, removing the fumbling that comes with threading a fine needle by hand.
Free Arm
Embroider Sleeves, Cuffs, and Socks With the Free Arm
Built-in free-arm capability lets you embroider tubular items like sleeves, cuffs, socks, and baby clothes directly — and it's ready for Janome's optional FA10e and FA5e hoops when you need an even smaller working area.
Adjustable Speed
Speed That Matches the Design
Adjustable stitching speed from 400 up to 660 stitches per minute lets you run faster for simple fills and slow down for delicate fabric or intricate detail work.
