The 1600P-DBX high speed sewing machine has the DB type needle and the Auto-thread cutter. It sews a straight stitch at 1,600 stitches per minute, the fastest on the market. From the new "Liquid Response" foot control to the pre-tension system, everything on this machine is built for high quality stitches at professional speeds. But while it gives you the performance of an industrial machine, it also gives you the quiet operation and sleek design of a Janome.
An extra large 9.5in. x 6in. work area gives you room for the largest projects. A knee lift lets you raise the presser foot while keeping your hands on your work. An independent motor allows you to wind bobbins while you're sewing. And 10.5 lbs. of presser foot pressure ensures that your layers of fabric won't shift, making it an ideal quilting machine.
Smooth Feeding Thread -
The 1600P Series has a Pre-Tension thread regulator that takes the kinks out of your thread even before it goes through the tension mechanism.
More Room -
The 1600P Series machines all have extra large sewing areas. The area under the arm is nearly 9.5in. x 6in. Now your bulkiest projects can fit past the needle. And you can easily see your work as you sew.
Side Loading Industrial Rotary Hook -
Consistent stitching with industrial quality.
Knee Lift -
The knee lift lets you raise and lower the presser foot without taking your hands off your work. Quilters love this feature.
Liquid Response Speed Control -
Press the unique "Liquid Response" foot pedal and the machine gradually accelerates to your optimum sewing speed. At slower speeds the foot control gives you outstanding accuracy: Press it to sew a single stitch.
Convenient Features -
You dont have to give up convenient features just because you want to sew fast and with more power. The 1600P machines have the convenient features you expect on a home machine with the easy to use controls you wont find on most industrial models.
Memorized Needle Up/Down -
The exclusive Up/Down needle button lets you control the needles position at the end of the stitch. Set it "up" for when you want to move your fabric, "down" for corners and pivots.

Smooth, seamless tracking without metal-on-metal. The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine tracks. With the GMQ-Pro, your machine rests on two specially designed, sturdy plates that track perfectly with ball-bearing rollers for an incredibly smooth ride. There is no wobbling. These plates allow for up to 16 inches of forward/reverse travel in the work area. The only limit to your reach is your own machine. |

Easy Grip Handles
Free-Motion quilt from the needle side of the machine.... |

A Smooth, Cushioned Ride With precision-bearing steel wheels, wobble-free platforms and seamless plastic tracks that install perfectly straight without seams or bumps, Grace provides the smoothest, quietest track system you can find.
The tracks for the bottom plate are engineered specifically for the GMQ-Pro out of ABS plastic. The tracks are in-set on the tabletops in pre-cut grooves, so they automatically align and are guaranteed to stay straight, so you never have to worry about them being misaligned! With the track being one single length, there is no worry of seams or bumps.
