Product Details
The newly upgraded Janome Atelier 3 builds on the popular original model, introducing an updated LCD screen, an expanded selection of 150 built-in stitches and additional features designed to make sewing easier and more enjoyable.
As the entry-level machine in Janome's Atelier Series, it combines a generous sewing area with convenient computerised functions, making it an excellent choice for dressmaking, quilting, home furnishings and everyday sewing projects.
Whether you are learning to sew or upgrading your machine, the Atelier 3 is a great choice. It is versatile and precise, also easy to use.
150 Built-In Stitches & Upgraded LCD Screen
The new Janome Atelier 3 has 150 built-in stitches. These include utility stitches, decorative designs, an alphabet, and seven one-step automatic buttonhole styles. With a maximum stitch width of 7mm, you have plenty of options.
Choose from everyday seams and garment construction. You can also add decorative stitching. You can even personalise your projects.
The upgraded 3-inch colour character LCD screen provides a clear display of your selected stitches and settings, making it easier to navigate the machine's functions. The flip-up top cover also has a handy stitch guide, so you can view designs without the manual.
You can also memorise stitch and alphabet combinations, allowing you to create personalised stitch sequences. This is particularly useful when adding names, decorative borders or repeated patterns to your sewing projects.
The seven automatic one-step buttonhole styles add flexibility for dressmaking. They let you create different buttonhole finishes for garments and other projects.
Personalise Your Projects with Decorative Stitches & Lettering
The Atelier 3 offers many creative options beyond everyday sewing. It includes decorative stitches and a built-in alphabet for personalised details.
Whether you're adding initials to handmade gifts, creating borders on cushions, or finishing garments, this machine helps. Its 7mm-wide stitches give you the freedom to try different designs and finishes.
One invaluable feature is the stitch memory function. It lets you combine and save sequences of stitches and letters. Rather than choosing each character or decorative stitch one by one, you can make combinations. These combinations make repeated designs easier to sew.
This is very helpful when you personalise many items. It also helps you add matching details to home furnishings. You can also test stitch patterns on patchwork projects.
Combined with the upgraded LCD screen, which makes it easier to view your stitch selections and settings, these features make the Atelier 3 a great choice for sewists who enjoy adding creative details to their work.
Extra Sewing Space for Larger Projects
One of the Atelier 3's biggest advantages is its generous sewing area. With 210mm (8.2 inches) of space to the right of the needle, there is room for larger projects. The workspace height is 120mm (4.7 inches), giving you plenty of space to work.
Whether you are making a quilt, sewing curtains, creating dresses, or sewing many fabric layers, the extra space helps. It makes it easier to place and guide your fabric.
This is particularly beneficial for quilting, where managing larger sections of fabric can become difficult on a smaller machine. The extended workspace gives you more room to move your project as you sew. It helps you stay in control on long seams and detailed sections.
Despite its generous sewing space, the Atelier 3 remains a practical machine for everyday use, weighing approximately 9.5kg.
Automatic Features That Make Sewing Easier
The upgraded Janome Atelier 3 includes a range of convenient automatic features designed to make everyday sewing simpler. From threading the needle to cutting your threads, these functions help reduce the time spent preparing your machine and finishing seams.
The built-in automatic needle threader takes the hassle out of threading the needle, while the automatic thread cutter trims your threads at the touch of a button. This is particularly useful when sewing multiple seams or moving between different sections of a project.
The easy-set, top-loading bobbin system makes changing your bobbin straightforward, with a transparent cover that allows you to keep an eye on your remaining thread. An automatic cutter on the bobbin winder adds further convenience when preparing a new bobbin.
The start/stop button also allows you to operate the machine without using the foot pedal, giving you another comfortable way to control your sewing.
Together, these features make the Atelier 3 particularly approachable for those upgrading from a mechanical sewing machine, while providing everyday conveniences that more experienced sewists will appreciate.
Greater Precision & Control Over Your Stitching
Alongside its automatic functions, the Janome Atelier 3 offers several features that give you greater control over how you sew, particularly when working on detailed or more demanding projects.
The programmable needle up/down function allows you to choose whether the needle stops in the raised position or remains in the fabric. Keeping the needle down is especially useful when pivoting around corners, following curves or repositioning fabric, helping you maintain accuracy without losing your place.
The maximum speed controller allows you to adjust your sewing speed to suit the project. You can slow things down when working on intricate details or unfamiliar techniques, then increase the speed up to 860 stitches per minute when sewing longer, straightforward seams.
The built-in lock stitch function provides a convenient way to secure your stitches, creating a neat finish without the need for repeated reverse stitching.
The Atelier 3 also features a knee lifter port, allowing you to attach an optional knee lifter. This lets you raise the presser foot using your knee, keeping both hands available to guide and reposition fabric. It's particularly helpful for quilting, dressmaking and projects that involve frequent changes in sewing direction.
Versatile Sewing for Dressmaking, Quilting & Home Projects
The new Janome Atelier 3 can handle many sewing projects. It is a versatile choice for anyone who likes trying new sewing techniques. From simple clothing fixes and dressmaking to patchwork, quilting, and home décor, the machine is flexible. It helps you build your skills and tackle bigger projects.
For dressmakers, practical utility stitches, decorative designs, and seven automatic buttonhole styles make sewing easier. It works well for simple garments and detailed clothing projects. The programmable needle up/down function helps when sewing collars, cuffs, and curved seams. It improves accuracy and fabric control.
Quilters will appreciate the spacious sewing area. It provides extra room for handling larger fabric pieces. This helps when piecing quilt blocks or assembling quilt tops.
The adjustable sewing speed lets you slow down for intricate patterns. It also lets you speed up when stitching longer seams.
The Atelier 3 is ideal for home sewing projects, such as cushion covers, curtains, table runners, and personalised accessories. With its wide stitch selection and handy computerised features, it adapts to many projects as you gain skill.
