Key Features and Specifications

You get a 280mm workspace, which gives you plenty of room to handle large quilts and bulky fabric layers.

An extension table comes standard with the machine, and you can add the extra wide table for even more support during large-scale projects. This extra space keep your fabric level as it moves through the machine.

The 5-inch HD colour screen sits at the center of the control panel. It has a touch panel, so you can select stitches, change settings, and preview your choices without extra buttons. The screen's placement gives you a clear line of sight while you sew. This makes it easier to check your settings without losing focus on your fabric.

This machine includes 400 built-in stitches, giving you a wide range of options for piecing, quilting, and decorative work. It includes four alphabets for labels, monograms, and quilt personalization. The 9mm stitch width allows wider decorative stitches. A printed stitch chart offers a quick reference for stitch numbers and settings.

The machine offers a high maximum sewing speed, which helps you move through projects faster without sacrificing stitch quality.

A retractable sewing light above the needle provides clear stitching visibility and tucks away when not needed.

You also get a foot control for hands-free speed changes. It also has a thread cutter switch, so you can trim thread fast without scissors.

The machine includes a built-in bobbin winder, so you can easily prepare bobbins without added attachments. A USB port allows you to load extra designs or updates directly onto the machine.

For added convenience, a knee lifter lets you raise and lower the presser foot using your knee. This keeps your hands free to manage fabric during detailed work.

Quilting Performance and Fabric Control

The A.S.R. keeps stitch length consistent during free motion quilting, even when fabric movement speed varies.

You get four feet with this system: a closed-toe foot, an open-toe foot, a clear view foot, and the ruler work foot. Each one suits a different quilting task, so you can switch based on what you're stitching.

You can also adjust the sensor's sensitivity. This means you can set the regulation to match your skill level and change it as you improve.

For ruler work, the included ruler work kit gives you the tools needed to create clean, consistent curves and lines. The work kit includes the QR ruler foot for use with the A.S.R. system, helping you maintain greater control as you guide the fabric.

For general free motion quilting, you can use the darning foot PD-H, which comes in both closed-toe and open-toe versions. This gives you options depending on how much visibility you need while stitching.

The quilting guide bar adds another layer of control. It helps you space rows of stitching evenly, which is useful for grid patterns or repeated designs across a quilt top.

AcuFeed feeds multiple fabric layers evenly, reducing shifting between top, batting, and backing when quilting thick projects.

Use the dual feed foot AD and holder to keep layered fabrics moving together for straight-line and general piecing.

Smart Support and Ease of Use

The Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9480 QCP gives you tools that make learning and adjusting your machine simple. From built-in help features to automatic presser foot controls, you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time sewing.

The AcuSpark2 app works as a built-in guide for your machine. When you scan the QR code on your screen with the app, you get stitch details. You also get foot recommendations and tips for adjusting settings..

Floating mode adjusts the height and pressure of your presser foot without changing your thread tension. This is useful for fabrics that shift easily, since it keeps your stitches even and steady.

The machine automatically lifts the presser foot after cutting thread and can lift at seam ends for easier pivoting.

A locking on/off button also lets you control certain functions without needing to hold a button down. This keeps your workflow steady during longer projects.

The 9480 QCP features an adjustable 5-inch colour touchscreen for viewing, selecting stitches, and personalising settings.

Stitch length and width are easily adjustable via dials or touchscreen, before or during sewing.

The enhancements boost sewing speed and precision while letting you save favourite stitch settings for future projects.
