Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9480QC: Professional Quilting and Sewing Performance

The Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9480QC offers 11 inches to the right of the needle, 400 built-in stitches, and a 5" HD color touchscreen. The AcuFeed Flex dual feed, ASR compatibility, and 1,060 SPM speed handle projects from lap quilts to king-size bedspreads.

Janome Horizon Memory Craft 9480QC Professional Sewing Machine

Expansive Workspace Design

The sleek, trim needle area provides clear visibility during precision work, while 11 inches of throat space to the right of the needle accommodates large quilts, home decor projects, and bulky garments. The 15.5" total work area includes an extension table for additional support during large-scale projects.

Janome 9480QC with Complete Workspace Setup

Complete Professional Setup

The machine pairs with the included extension table for a flat, stable work surface extending your sewing area. The overhead view shows the full workspace configuration ideal for quilting, home decor sewing, and large garment projects where fabric support prevents drag and distortion.

Janome 9480QC Needle Presser Foot and Plate Area

AcuFeed™ Flex Dual Feed System

The detachable AcuFeed™ Flex system feeds fabric evenly from top and bottom, preventing shifting during piecing, matching plaids, and sewing multiple layers. The professional HP (high precision) needle plate and foot included for straight stitch work ensure perfect ¼-inch seams for quilting.

Janome 9480QC Extension Table

Detachable Extension Table

The included extension table attaches securely to create a large, level work surface for handling king-size quilts and large sewing projects. Remove the table quickly for free-arm sewing on sleeves, cuffs, and pant hems without workspace reconfiguration.

Janome 9480QC Control Buttons and Features

Convenient Control Features

Quick-access buttons above the needle area include automatic thread cutter, reverse, locking stitch, and needle up/down for efficient workflow. The auto presser foot lift raises the foot automatically when you stop, while the improved ergonomic knee lift provides hands-free presser foot control.

Janome 9480QC Quilting in Action

Professional Quilting Capabilities

The machine excels at free-motion quilting with ruler work mode, variable zigzag, and optional ASR (Accurate Stitch Regulator) compatibility for consistent stitch length. The floating mode protects delicate fabrics and prevents flagging during stippling, meandering, and custom quilting designs.

5" HD Color Touchscreen

The high-definition 5" LCD touchscreen displays stitches, settings, and on-screen support for sewing applications. The Superior Needle Threader threads automatically, while the start/stop button and speed control slider allow sewing up to 1,060 stitches per minute without a foot pedal.

Advanced Stitch Selection

400 built-in stitches include utility, decorative, and quilting patterns up to 9mm wide. Customize with stitch tapering, mirroring, preview, and Stitch Composer software for creating custom stitches. Includes 11 buttonholes and 4 alphabets for monogramming.

Smart Technology Features

The AcuSpark2 App provides machine learning and support resources. Auto tension system adjusts for thread and fabric type, while bobbin thread sensor alerts you before thread runs out. USB port connects to external devices for design transfer and updates.

Professional Bobbin System

The top-loading full rotary hook with Easy Set Bobbin simplifies bobbin changes during projects. Independent bobbin winding motor winds bobbins without stopping sewing. One-step needle plate conversion with 3 included plates switches between straight stitch and zigzag configurations.
