The Janome DM7200 combines 200 built-in stitches, a sewing alphabet, 14 automatic buttonholes, stitch-combination memory, automatic thread cutting and an included extension table in one versatile computerised sewing machine. 200+ stitches plus alphabet 14 one-step buttonholes 820 SPM maximum sewing speed 7mm maximum stitch width View Janome New Zealand View Regional Product Information The DM7200 combines a compact full-size body with a large stitch library, lettering and advanced sewing controls. More creativity without moving to an embroidery machine A powerful all-rounder for garments, quilting and personalised sewing The Janome DM7200 is designed for sewists who want a large selection of stitches, built-in lettering and modern convenience features without moving into a much larger premium machine. It offers the same practical 170 × 110mm workspace and portable 6.4kg body as the DC6050, but expands the creative package to 200 stitches, an alphabet, 14 buttonhole styles and stitch-combination memory. Automatic thread cutting, adjustable foot pressure, needle up or down, speed control and a seven-piece feed system make it equally capable for garment construction, decorative sewing, patchwork and general home projects. Comprehensive New Zealand package Extension table, seven feet and hard cover included The DM7200 comes with a useful collection of garment, quilting and decorative-sewing accessories, including a half-size extension table and a rigid protective cover. Seven standard sewing feet 1/4-inch Seam Foot O Automatic Buttonhole Foot R Buttonhole stabiliser plate Half-size extension table Foot controller Janome bobbins × 4 Needle set Additional spool pin Maintenance tools Instruction book Hard machine cover Why the Janome DM7200 stands out A large creative package with genuinely useful everyday features 01 200 built-in stitches Explore utility, stretch, quilting, appliqué, satin, heirloom and decorative stitch categories. 02 Built-in alphabet Sew names, dates, labels and short personalised messages using the integrated lettering font. 03 Fourteen buttonholes Choose from an extensive selection of one-step buttonholes for garments, stretch fabrics and creative projects. 04 Stitch-combination memory Combine compatible stitches and lettering into sequences of up to approximately 50 characters. 05 Automatic thread cutter Cut the upper and bobbin threads together at the touch of a button. 06 Six pressure levels Adapt the presser-foot pressure to delicate fabrics, knits, everyday cottons and layered projects. 07 Seven-piece feed system Broad fabric contact helps reduce slipping, shifting and puckering beneath the foot. 08 Extra-wide table included Support patchwork, quilting, home décor and longer garment sections across a broader surface. 200 Built-in stitches plus alphabet Utility sewing, stretch seams, quilting, appliqué, satin stitching, heirloom techniques, decorative patterns and personalised lettering are all built into the machine. A much larger creative library Go well beyond basic utility sewing The DM7200 provides a broad selection for everyday construction and more decorative projects. The quick-reference chart shows every stitch and lettering mode, while the LCD displays the active stitch number, recommended foot, width and length. Utility stitches Stretch stitches Quilting patterns Appliqué stitches Satin patterns Heirloom stitches Decorative motifs Alphabet characters Personalisation without embroidery software Built-in alphabet and monogramming Select letters, numbers and symbols directly from the machine and combine them into a memorised sequence. This is ideal for sewing names, dates, quilt labels, laundry labels, initials and short messages. Characters are formed as decorative sewing stitches rather than embroidery designs, so no hoop, computer or embroidery software is required. Popular uses Quilt labels Children’s names Initials Dates Fabric labels Short messages Personalised gifts Creative borders Important lettering clarification The DM7200 creates lettering using the sewing mechanism. It does not produce filled embroidery lettering like a dedicated embroidery machine. Letter size and appearance are determined by the built-in sewing font and available stitch settings. Custom fonts and downloaded embroidery designs cannot be imported. Create and repeat customised stitch sequences Built-in combination memory Combine compatible decorative stitches, letters, numbers and symbols into sequences of up to approximately 50 characters. Add a thread-cutting instruction to the stored sequence so the machine cuts the threads after completing the programmed combination. Letter sequences Combine names, words, initials, dates and numbers. Decorative borders Repeat compatible motifs in a planned order. Mixed combinations Combine lettering and decorative patterns where supported. Automatic finishing Add locking and thread-cutting instructions to suitable sequences. The machine has limited working memory for stitch combinations. It does not provide permanent external storage, USB transfer or downloadable stitch files. An exceptional buttonhole selection Fourteen automatic one-step buttonholes The DM7200 offers a much wider choice of buttonhole styles than most machines in its class. Place the button into Automatic Buttonhole Foot R and the machine uses it as a guide for the required length. The supplied stabiliser plate supports the buttonhole foot and fabric together, helping improve results on layered, uneven or difficult garment areas. Fourteen built-in styles Automatic one-step sewing Button-sized measurement Garment buttonholes Stretch-fabric buttonholes Decorative buttonholes Automatic Buttonhole Foot R Stabiliser plate included Cleaner finishing at the touch of a button Automatic upper and bobbin thread cutting Press the cutter button and the machine trims both threads together. The upper thread is drawn towards the underside of the project for a cleaner finish. The cutter can also be incorporated into suitable memorised stitch sequences. Where it saves time Patchwork piecing Repeated seams Decorative borders Lettering sequences Garment construction Reducing loose thread tails Adapt the machine to different fabrics Six levels of presser-foot pressure Presser-foot pressure controls how firmly the fabric is held against the feed dogs. The six-level adjustment makes the DM7200 more adaptable than machines with a fixed pressure setting. Sheer materials Reduce pressure to help prevent marking and puckering. Stretch knits Coordinate reduced pressure with the correct stretch stitch and needle. Everyday cotton Use a standard pressure setting for general construction sewing. Layered projects Adjust pressure for bags, denim, fleece and quilted sections. Consistent movement beneath the foot Seven-piece Superior Plus feed system Seven feed-dog sections maintain broad contact with the underside of the project. This helps move lightweight fabric, stretch materials, standard woven cloth and layered projects consistently beneath the foot. The feed system works with the adjustable presser-foot pressure to help reduce slipping, shifting and puckering. A compatible Janome even-feed foot can be added separately for quilt sandwiches, checks, stripes and other projects that benefit from upper feeding. Practical space for everyday projects 170 × 110mm workspace with extension table The DM7200 provides approximately 170mm of width and 110mm of height to the right of the needle. Fit the supplied half-size extension table when sewing quilt blocks, curtains, bags, larger garment pieces or home décor. Remove the accessory compartment to reveal the free arm for sleeves, cuffs, trouser hems and tubular projects. 170mm workspace width 110mm workspace height Extension table included Free arm Accessory storage compartment Hard cover included 170mm Workspace to the right of the needle A practical size for garment sewing, patchwork, appliqué, home décor and light quilting without making the machine difficult to carry or store. Computerised controls within easy reach Control speed, needle position and seam finishing Start and stop Sew without the foot controller and hold the button for slower starts or finishes. Speed-control slider Limit maximum sewing speed for beginners, curves and detail work. Needle up or down Choose whether the needle stops raised or securely lowered. Automatic lock-off Secure compatible stitches at the touch of a button. Reverse sewing Reinforce standard construction seams with the dedicated reverse control. Automatic cutting Trim the upper and bobbin threads without reaching for scissors. Clear information before you begin sewing Backlit LCD screen and direct-selection keys The LCD provides the key information needed to set up the selected stitch correctly. Selected stitch number Recommended presser foot Default stitch width Default stitch length Active lettering mode Memory and combination information Frequently used utility stitches can be selected directly from the control panel, while the complete stitch library is displayed on the quick-reference chart. Fast and straightforward preparation Easy Set top-loading bobbin Place the bobbin into the horizontal rotary hook, follow the marked threading channel and pass the thread through the built-in cutter. The clear cover allows the remaining bobbin thread to be monitored while sewing. Once correctly loaded, the machine can begin sewing without manually drawing the bobbin thread through the needle plate. Top-loading bobbin Easy Set threading route Built-in bobbin-thread cutter Clear cover Full rotary hook Janome plastic bobbins Useful guides built into the sewing bed Precision needle-plate markings The needle plate includes seam guides, angle markings and reference points positioned in front of the presser foot. These markings support accurate seam allowances, patchwork piecing, cornering and fabric alignment. Seam guides Follow common seam allowances without attaching a separate guide. Angle marks Support patchwork, mitred corners and directional sewing. Front references Align the fabric before it reaches the needle and foot. Needle-position guides Identify where the needle will enter for different stitch settings. A capable patchwork and light-quilting package Accurate piecing with room to grow 1/4-inch Seam Foot O The supplied foot helps maintain consistent patchwork seam allowances. Extension table Support quilt blocks and larger fabric sections across a wider surface. Needle-down function Stop with the needle lowered when pivoting or repositioning. Drop feed Lower the feed dogs for darning or free-motion quilting with an optional foot. Automatic cutter Reduce loose thread tails during repeated patchwork piecing. Decorative quilting stitches Add creative detail to quilt labels, borders, appliqué and smaller projects. The DM7200 is suited to patchwork, appliqué, straight-line quilting and smaller free-motion projects. It does not include an even-feed foot or free-motion foot as standard. DM7200 or DC6050?
