The Janome Continental M8 Professional is built for serious sewists and quilters who demand precision and performance. Featuring Hi-Definition Quilting, the A.S.R. Accurate Stitch Regulator, and the professional-grade HP Needle Plate with HP2 AcuFeed compatibility, the M8 delivers flawless stitches and precise ¼″ seams. With smart support from the AcuSpark2 app and built-in Sewing Applications, it’s power and guidance in one machine.

You take your sewing seriously — and the Janome Continental M8 Professional is designed to meet that level of commitment.

Engineered for Hi-Definition Quilting and Hi-Definition Sewing, the M8 delivers unmatched stitch accuracy, smooth fabric feeding, and professional-grade control. At the heart of its quilting performance is the A.S.R. (Accurate Stitch Regulator), ensuring perfectly consistent stitch length whether you’re free-motion quilting intricate motifs or tackling large-scale projects.

For precision piecing, the professional-grade HP Needle Plate combined with HP2 AcuFeed Flex options allows you to achieve exact ¼″ seams with superior stability — ideal for quilting blocks, garment construction, and detailed sewing.

The Continental M8 goes beyond power with intelligent support. The AcuSpark2 app gives you instant access to stitch guidance, recommended settings, and feature tutorials right from your smart device. Prefer built-in assistance? The Sewing Applications menu lets you select stitches based on what you’re sewing, taking the guesswork out of setup.

With its expansive workspace, advanced feeding system, and professional-level accuracy, the Janome Continental M8 Professional is built for makers who expect flawless results — every time.
