Janome 1000CPX is a specialty coverstitch machine

When you take a look at the Janome 1000CPX, you actually wonder if it’s a serger or a traditional sewing machine.  Because it’s a ‘cross-breed’ of the two, and is known as a coverstitch machine.

Ideal machine for home sewers looking for professional results

The Janome 1000CPX is best described as a high-speed, heavy duty coverstitch machine with a long arm that looks and operates like a traditional sewing machine. As a dedicated coverstitch machine, the CoverPro doesn’t cut materials as the hem folds or while performing decorative stitching.

The Janome 1000CPX also has an option to use one, two or three needles like sergers. It lets home sewers produce not only professional looking clothes but also accessories and home decor items.

You can choose between three stitch options using 1, 2 or 3 needles and 2, 3 or 4 threads to create a chain, cover and triple cover stitch respectively. There’s a free arm and extra large work area for more convenience while sewing.
