Competition | Win a Janome Overlocker

Iona Bower October 23, 2023

Give your sewing a professional finish with a Janome overlooker worth £329

Take your home sewing to the next level with a Janome overlocker. Also known as serger*, an overlocker can sew a seam, finish the edge, and trim off the excess fabric all in one step, even on stretch knits and speciality fabrics, giving your projects a really professional finish. And we have one to give away to a TST reader.

For more than 100 years, since the company’s foundation in 1921, JANOME has strived to expand the sewing industry boundaries through the continuous development and creation of new and innovative machines and has just announced the production of its 75 millionth sewing machine. Did you know, And here’s a fun fact - if 75 million units of Janome’s latest quilting machine the MC9480QCP were lined up together, they would stretch all the way around the earth! (That’s 40,125 kilometres or 24,932 miles for those of you who didn’t know.)

That’s quite a journey! But wherever you are on your own sewing journey, JANOME has a machine for you. They work together with retailers, sewing groups and experts all over the UK to help inspire more people to take up the craft and to help those on the journey take their sewing projects to the next stage.

* The word ‘serger’ is used more commonly in The States. We tend to call it an overlocker. The term derives from an Old French word ‘sarge’ meaning a coarse, woollen cloth.

What you could win

We have one Janome 9300DX Overlocker to give away.

The Janome 9300DX gives you a wide range of overlocking features in a compact machine. Its sturdy design and precise Janome stitch performance ensures a professional finish every time. It comes pre-threaded and has a built-in rolled hem feature (no plate change) for easy changeover.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
