"Delightful, knowledgeable advice and customer service while deciding what machine to buy... i've never felt pressure to make a decision, excellent advice with all questions answered well. Highly recommend this company and i'm thrilled with my new machine."

First Impressions: Built to Work, Not Just Look Good

The Janome 6700P doesn’t try to be flashy, it’s solid, purposeful, and engineered for performance. The all-metal construction gives it a reassuring weight and stability, especially when sewing at higher speeds.

This is a machine that feels like a serious upgrade the moment you sit down with it.

Key Features at a Glance

The Janome 6700P combines power and versatility, with an all-metal flatbed for stability and reduced vibration at high speeds. It features 200 built-in stitches for everything from garments to quilting, and a generous 255mm (10”) workspace for larger projects. 

Sewing at up to 1,200 stitches per minute, it delivers speed without compromising quality. A superior needle threader saves time and reduces eye strain, while three included needle plates offer added precision. Plus, 9mm decorative stitches create bold, professional finishes.

Power & Speed: Where the 6700P Really Shines

This machine isn’t just fast, it’s controlled speed. Sewing at up to 1,200 stitches per minute, it’s one of the quickest domestic machines available, but importantly, it remains smooth and consistent.

For quilters, this means long seams are done in a fraction of the time.
For garment makers, it means efficient construction without compromising stitch quality.

If you’ve ever felt your current machine struggles to keep up, this is the upgrade that fixes that.

Workspace: Room to Actually Work

With 255mm (10 inches) of arm space, the Memory Craft 6700P gives you the freedom to handle:

• Large quilts
• Bulky home décor projects
• Long garment seams

You’re not constantly wrestling fabric through a tight space, which makes a bigger difference than most people expect.

Stitch Quality & Versatility

With 200 built-in stitches, the 6700P balances practicality with creativity:

• Strong utility stitches for everyday sewing
• Decorative stitches up to 9mm wide for standout finishes
• Consistent stitch formation, even on thicker layers

It’s not just about quantity, it’s about reliable, professional results across a wide range of fabrics.

Precision Tools: Needle Plates & Threading

The inclusion of three needle plates (standard, straight, and professional) is a big plus. It allows you to tailor the machine setup depending on what you're sewing:

• Straight stitch plate - perfect for precision piecing
• Professional plate - improved control for advanced work

Add in the superior needle threader, and you’ve got a machine that reduces setup time and keeps you focused on sewing, not fiddling.

Who Is the 6700P Best For?

This machine is ideal if you:

• Quilt regularly and need speed + space
• Sew garments and want consistent, high-quality stitching
• Are upgrading from a mid-range machine and want a noticeable leap in performance
• Value durability and long-term reliability

If you’re a complete beginner, it may be more machine than you need, but if you’re committed to sewing, it’s one you won’t outgrow quickly.

What Can You Make?

The Memory Craft 6700P is versatile enough for:

• Quilts (from piecing to finishing)
• Curtains, cushions & home décor
• Dresses, jackets & everyday garments
• Decorative projects with bold stitch detailing

It’s particularly strong when projects get larger, thicker, or more time-intensive.

Pros & Considerations

Pros

• Exceptional speed with stability
• Large, practical workspace
• Strong, consistent stitch quality
• Durable all-metal construction
• Versatile stitch options

Considerations

• Heavier than standard machines (less portable)
• More feature-rich than beginners may need
• Focuses on sewing (no embroidery functionality)

Final Thoughts: A Serious Step Up

The Janome Memory Craft 6700P isn’t trying to be everything, it’s focused on doing one thing exceptionally well: high-performance sewing.

If you’re looking for a machine that can handle bigger projects, sew faster, and deliver consistent, professional results, this is a strong, reliable choice.

It’s not just an upgrade, it’s a shift in how efficiently and confidently you can sew.
