The Janome 5060QDC is a firm GBSB favourite, having been chosen for the last few series, and it’s easy to see why.

It’s computerised with a decent motor and useful features like a needle threader, auto thread cutter, auto one-step buttonhole, and adjustable presser foot pressure, which give it the ability to cope with thicker fabrics while performing beautifully on finer ones too. When sewing on the machine, it feels sturdy and has great fabric control thanks to the superior feed drive system.

There are a nice number of stitches, including all the essentials, some stretch stitches, one-step buttonholes, and decorative options. Included in the box are six different presser feet, plus a bonus feet pack that includes a walking foot – perfect for stretchy fabrics and layers

Not forgetting the hardcover and included extension table – super handy for all sorts of projects. The Janome 5060QDC will not disappoint and is great value for money.
