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.

Best Christmas gift ever!
We were very impressed with the quick delivery, even though it was the busiest time of the year. This was the only site that offered the bonus package and at the same low price. We will plan to use this same supplier for replacement needles etc. We were able to find a good used base locally at a low price and within a few days were up and running We are off the grid and our electric sewing machine did not work very well with the inverter needed to step 12 v. d.c. up to 120 v a.c. Our ,much , older treadle machine only straight stitches so the Janome's many built in stitches are a joy to have plus the many attachments. No power, no problem. This machine appears to be well made and should last for many years.

Great machine!
I bought this a few months ago as a replacement for the treadle machine I have been using - my great great grandmother's New Companion treadle machine, made by New Home (later Janome) in the early 1900's - as any replacement parts for the old treadle have been difficult to find. The old treadle machine was my first sewing machine, so this was a step up for me. It's super easy to use, easy to thread, just generally a good sewing machine to have. I also love that it's a treadle and doesn't rely on electricity, only the power of my legs. It ran a little loud for the first hour or so of use, even after a little oil, but it is much quieter and smoother now. I had to get a longer belt than what came with it to fit the cabinet and treadle I put it in (a seriously old Singer cabinet), but that was not difficult. I highly recommend this machine!

Great Machine
Janome makes a great sewing machine and it's awesome that they also have a treadle machine. I think of this as my SHTF sewing machine. I bought an old Singer treadle machine with a treadle machine cabinet off of Craigslist and then I sold that machine and put this machine into the existing treadle cabinet and it works like a treat. I Love it!! Highly recommended.

This machine is great! It works smoothly and sews well. The only problem I had was not really a problem with the machine. It did not fit in my cabinet at first. It needed a bigger opening in the cabinet. I was able to alter my cabinet, with some help, and now it fits! Thanks so much to Janome for designing this machine and thanks to you all for carrying it! It was a GREAT find!
