Janome 360DC LE review
a strong Janome rival to the Brother A65
8.2/10 provisional Provisional
60 stitches including seven buttonholes, Janome's 7-piece SFS feed, adjustable foot pressure and a 7mm max width at 820 stitches a minute. Researched from retailer and maker listings; we have not tested it, and the score is provisional.
Pick it if
you want wider decorative stitches and adjustable foot pressure.
Skip it if
you want an automatic thread cutter (the Brother A65 has one).
