The Janome Memory Craft 9700 was designed to bring together all the best features in one sewing machine. You get the precision stitching Janome sewing and embroidery machines known for, easy navigation and design layout on a color touchscreen, and the built-in, two-step conversion from sewing to embroidery you can't get from any other brand. One minute it's a sewing and quilting machine, the next it's an embroidery machine. The MC9700 has the power and precision of a superior stitch mechanism combined with the sophistication of computerized control. From embellishment with decorative stitches and delicate heirloom work, to creative quilting and clothing construction, your sewing projects will go smoother and look better. Professional-Style Embroidery Without The Clumsy Attachment Other brands of embroidery machines require separate embroidery attachments that can take up to a half dozen steps to attach. Not Janome.
