Treadle operated machines are 100% human powered. Machine does not require power to run and cannot be converted to electric. A treadle operated sewing table (not included) is required to run this machine.
Like the foot-operated machines of yesteryear, Janome has brought the best of treadle and electric machines together in the impressive, fun, and easy-to-use Janome 712T. Useful for sewists living off the grid or just those who enjoy a true DIY sewing experience, the 712T offers some modern features in a more traditional type of machine.
Economically priced, the Janome 712T is a sturdy foot-powered machine that operates when installed in a treadle operated sewing table which is not included. It has an aluminum die-cast frame. With its flatbed design, this compact machine can be easily inserted into existing cabinetry for comfortable use.
The Janome 712T offers 10 standard built-in stitches plus one 4-step buttonhole stitch to cover all the necessary basics for simple, yet quality sewing. It includes adjustable stitch width and length, easy stitch selector dials, and makes clean, quality stitches. It will easily sew through thick fabric or multiple layers.
Other features of the 712T include a 5-piece feed dog with drop feed capability, snap-on presser feet, extra-high presser foot lift, a top-loading full rotary hook bobbin, and a simple push-pull bobbin winder. It functions the same as any other basic electric model.
The machine comes with universal, hemmer, blind hem, overedge, zipper, and zigzag feet, a sliding buttonhole foot, a specialized bobbin for this machine, and more. The included bonus bundle adds a ¼” seam foot for quilting, a supply of Janome bobbins and size 14 needles.
The standard warranty that applies to the 712T is 25 years on mechanical parts, 5 years on electrical parts, and 1 year on labor.

I'm really happy with my treadle sewing machine
I'm really happy with my treadle sewing machine. I'm still trying to find a base for it, but I was able to test it by manually turning the wheel by hand. I went through all the stitch patterns and everyone was perfect.

Great Machine
I am already in the middle of making my second queen sized jeans quilt with this machine. When I make these quilts, I leave on pockets, belt loops, and even the leather tags on the waist. This machine has no problem sewing right through all of that. It seems very sturdy and well built. It has a great bobbin system, so easy to load and you can always see how much bobbin thread you have left. This is also the easiest, quickest machine to thread that I have had yet. I already had an old Singer table, it was a hand me down from my mother-in-law, it is great to finally be able to use it the way it was intended. Getting the belt on was a bit tricky but then again, that was all new to me as I had never put on a belt before or even run a treadle machine. Like anything else, it is a learning process that gets easier once you have done it a couple times. If you have never done this yourself, it can be helpful to look up youtube videos on how to put the belt on and the best foot placement for running the treadle. The machine did come with a belt but I went ahead and ordered extras to have on hand if I ever need them. Yes, it is more "work" running a treadle machine than an electric, but that is one of the things I love about it the most. I love the self sufficiency and the total leg and lower back work it gives me while also being productive in making something myself. Who needs to waste money on gym memberships when you can do simply do something like this for yourself? It is a great feeling all the way around!

Have not had a chance to use it yet. But the quality looks great. I am waiting for the right price of the a treadle cabinet. I am very excited as I sew everyday but I am moving up to a new cabin where we will be living off the grid entirely. One thing to be clear is that there is no cabinet or treadle with it. It is just the machine itself. You will need to purchase an old treadle machine and remove the old machine. Great for bargain hunters as you can find a cabinet with an old rusty machine and either tell them you will take it off their hands or can pay a nominal fee and throw away the old rusty thing.

Awesome!
This machine works great! I am very pleased with it. It fit right into my treadle base. All the extras were a blessing to!

Loved it!
Bought this for a young Amish girl with a treadle and no machine. Her shy smile and speechlessness let me know how thrilled she was. She showed up later at my house with an apron she made for me. The machine itself is built to last, has lots of the latest stitches and works without electricity (although you need some muscle and a treadle).
