The 1600P-DB high speed sewing machine has the DB needle. Like the other 1600 Professional machines, 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" x 5" 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 the ideal quilting machine.

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

....Or quilt from the back of the machine to follow patterns.
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.
Pivoting Rails
Inspect your stitches and get easy access to change your bobbin with the easy-lift rail mount system. The bottom two rails lift up, out of the way, while preserving the tension in your work.
Sturdy Design
The GMQ-Pro's sturdy design includes table tops ideal for pantographs (pointer included). Aluminum track supports add to the frame's robust construction and professional appearance.
Includes Fabri-Fast System
This is a no-baste, four-rail system. The custom-designed rails come with the new Fabri-Fast system for fast and easy fabric installation. Simply push your fabric and tubing into the Fabri-Fast slot with the Fabri-fast tool included. Fabric goes in and stays in, straight and clean.
Added Stability

Easier Side Tension System
The GMQ-Pro comes with four side-tension clamps (two for each side). Simply apply the clamp, then pull and secure the bungee cord in the side slot. Fast and easy!
