The Janome Quilt Maker 18 is a long-arm quilting machine on a frame. The stitch regulator (which keeps stitch length constant) works in Precision and Cruise modes, and a manual mode with preset speeds and a basting mode are also present. It adjusts from 4 to 22 stitches per inch and speed reaches 2,200 stitches per minute. It uses class M bobbins, with an independent bobbin winder included and a low bobbin sensor. The display is an LCD touchscreen, the needle can be stopped up or down and the LED lights are built in. The laser pointer is optional.
