Your $10.00 registration fee turns into a store credit to be used the day of the seminar. Sew Unique With Janome What IS all the buzz about Janome‟s MB4 and 1200D? Liz Thompson from Janome will introduce and demonstrate these two incredible machines. The MB4 Professional Embroidery machine is a single head 4 NEEDLE embroidery machine that is per- fect for the home embroiderer or home based business. A must see. The 1200D is a 2/3/4/5/ thread over lock machine that also does cover stitch in triple/wide, double/narrow or single chain stitch. This unique machine has an added feature though, it also allows you to do a top cover stitch giving it that “waffle” look on both the top and bottom of the fabric just like store bought garments. Come and have a look, see the machines in action and get your questions answered by your Janome Educator. Liz will demo the MB4 at 2 pm and then after a short break the 1200D at about 3pm. Both these presentations are free with a $10.00 registration that is a store credit. CONTACT JANET AT AFFORDABLKE SEW AND VAC - 250-897-0950 FOR MORE INFORMATION CVSQ - Box 1507, Comox, B.C.
