While comparing the Janome DC4030 sewing machine stitches to those of the Janome DC2012, I found the graphic showing the number and type for the DC4030 and thought it might be handy to have for future reference. Questions about stitches on a machine come up fairly often.
The DC4030 has a total of 24 built in stitches. Six of them are buttonholes, eight are satin stitches, 1 mending stitch, and 9 utility stitches. Because of the number of buttonhole stitches, this machine would be well suited towards those who really need a good machine for making clothes.
This will also help answer a comment I had from someone asking about these two machines in particular.
I haven’t done a full review on either but will add them to my list so you’re likely to come across this picture again.
Hello Erin,
I have wanted to buy a new sewing machine for quite some time now and have been researching the Janome machines. I did not want to spend too much money but enough to get a great machine that will last some time. I am interested in sewing anything that tickles my fancy from doll clothes to clothes for my 5 year old to drapes to baby blankets, possibly quilts, etc. I would like to sew different fabrics like cotton, canvas and possibly vinyl. I was looking at the DC4030 but hesitated a bit due to the price and when I went to a local dealer to check it out he completely disregarded it and showed me the Pfaff Essential which is even more than the Janome. I have been reading your reviews on the 2010, 1050, 3050, 2012 and am now more confused than ever! 🙂 Which would be the best for the money? The 3050 does not have the adjustable presser foot, correct? How important is that?
still confused 🙂
