The Janome 9500 requires no bulky embroidery attachment. Most other machines have a separate attachment that requires up to six steps to convert to embroidery. The Memory Craft 9500 has only two steps! The embroidery mechanism is built in—simply push the embroidery key, attach the embroidery foot and you’re ready! All made possible with Janome’s patented telescopic embroidery arm which moves side to side and front to back with amazing flexibility.
