The Janome SewSwitch 30 brings conventional sewing and overlocking together in one compact machine, giving you the freedom to construct and finish your projects without needing two separate machines. Simply use the Switching Selector Dial to move between sewing and overlocking, making it an innovative space-saving solution for sewists who want greater versatility from their sewing setup.

On the sewing side, the SewSwitch 30 offers 30 built-in stitches, three one-step buttonholes, a built-in needle threader, top-loading bobbin, computerised controls and sewing speeds of up to 820 stitches per minute. Switch to overlocking and you have a dedicated 2-thread overlock system with adjustable stitch length and cutting width, an easy-thread lower looper and disengageable upper knife. Whether you're constructing a project or neatly finishing its edges, the SewSwitch 30 brings both processes together in one machine.

Two Machines Without Taking Up the Space

By combining conventional sewing and overlocking into one machine, the SewSwitch 30 is particularly well suited to sewing rooms where space is limited. It gives you two essential sewing functions without requiring separate sewing and overlocking machines on your workbench.
