The Xpression is a needle felting machine - it does not sew, but uses barbed needles to mesh fabrics together. The fibers mingle to create new color and texture combinations that simply cannot be achieved with embroidery, applique, or any other kind of needlework. It doesn't require thread, a bobbin, or any previous sewing experience. An 18" x 24" extension table will be included FREE with the price of this machine.

Instead of thread or bobbin, these sharp needles each have ‘barbs’ that catch the fibers of the fabrics and push them down through the layers. Janome’s preset five-needle construction reduces needle breakage, even when working with multiple layers.
|
The Five Hole Design of the base plate keeps fabric in place and helps the needles penetrate multiple layers.
|
The Lint Box cleans quickly and easily. It is also sealed from the motor unit, prohibiting lint and debris from causing damage.
|
The unique base storage box slides off so you can felt directly onto cuffs and sleeves, or use for three-dimensional projects like hats, bowls, or sculpture.
|
The See-Through Adjustable Presser Foot allows you to manipulate multiple layers with visibility. The See-Through Finger Guard keeps your fingers safe as you work.
