New JPX Design Layout

You can now use the new JPX file format for your embroidery designs. This format lets your Memory Craft 12000 show graphic data, making it easier to tweak your designs when working on iron-on transfers. Plus, creating JPX files is a breeze with Digitizer MBX, and you can easily send them to your machine using Horizon Link.

Embroidery Stitch Composer

The Stitch Composer program lets you make and change stitches using your computer. It has thirty stitches already built into it, so you can pick one or create your unique decorative stitches from the start. With the software and Horizon link, you can turn your PC into a powerful tool for editing stitches. You can change an existing stitch from the library and save it as a new one. You can also draw your special stitch easily using a simple dot-to-dot tool.

AcuFeed Flex

The AcuFeed Flex has earned its reputation in the sewing and quilting community for unmatched precision and power. With the Horizon Memory Craft 12000, we've enhanced this remarkable device even further. One of the key improvements is the removable AcuFeed system; when it's not needed, you can easily store it away in one of the spacious accessory trays. This feature adds convenience, making your sewing experience even more enjoyable.

Linear Motion Embroidery System

The Linear Motion Embroidery System easily attaches to the back of your machine, expanding your embroidery area and enhancing accuracy. Its discreet and sleek design allows you to keep it attached for regular sewing without hassle.

Excellent Embroidery Speed

Janome Engineering has designed the Memory Craft to be a powerhouse, allowing you to embroider at an impressive speed of up to 1000 stitches/minute. You can confidently work with larger hoops, up to 9.1 inches by 11.8 inches, without sacrificing the high-quality Janome stitching you expect.

Auto Presser Embroidery Foot Lift

The auto presser foot lift automatically raises the foot after a thread cut, whether you press the thread snip button or after a programmed thread cut at the end of a row of decorative stitches. This feature allows you to always keep your hands on your project. Additionally, it can be set to lift at the end of any seam while holding the needle in the down position for easy pivoting.
