This super Janome felts by using up to 5 barbed needles to punch fibres together to create fantastic designs.
* No Thread
* No Bobbin
The Janome FM725 is the first machine that allows you to do needle punch felting. It doesn't require thread, a bobbin, or any previous sewing experience, also our Embellisher included a tutorial DVD.
You can achieve amazing, one-of-a-kind fabric effects on your first try, and its so easy to operate, even a child can use it right away. Instead of one needle, the FM725 has five needles joined into a single unit, so they move up and down in unison.
On the sides of each needle are tiny barbs and as the needles pierce the top layer of material, these barbs catch the individual fibres and push them down into the bottom layer.
Five round holes in the needle plate correspond to the five needle points. These holes are slightly larger than those found on other felting machines, allowing penetration through even multiple layers to occur easily, quickly and cleanly, allowing for a better blending of fibres.
The fibres mingle to create new colour and texture combinations that simply cannot be achieved with embroidery, applique, or any other kind of needlework.
In needle felting there is no "right side" or "wrong side." Whether you push the fibres through from the front or back depends on the effect you're trying to achieve, experimentation is part of the fun.
The Janome fm725 embellisher is extremely easy to use and opens up a world of new possibilities for beginning and advanced sewing and craft enthusiasts alike, its ideal for schools and colleges.
Accessories included with the fm725 - How-to / Techniques DVD, Single hole needle plate, 3x spare needles, single needle holder unit (replaceable needle), 2 x needle unit with needles, lint brush, hex screwdriver, screwdriver, Instruction book, foot control and lead.

Holywell, North Wales Review by Sizzle Jane
Overall rating Delighted with my new machine which is light to carry round and easy to use. I have always wanted to do needle felting but due to a disability have never had the strength or stamina for hand needle felting. This machine takes all the strain and creates some interesting and beautiful fabrics. I've already got some lovely samples and that's only after an hour on the machine. Really looking forward to producing some lovely artwork for my art degree. (Posted on 1/19/12)

Lincolnshire Review by Moira West
Overall rating Very nice machine although the needles are small gauge which is a pity as a more robust needle would be more suitable for my work. (Posted on 8/24/10)

Liverpool, UK Review by Christa
Overall rating Wonderful embellisher machine for producing pain free felt & textile art. The extension table is a good size & really useful and it comes with spare needles, although I've yet to break one. It's incredibly easy to use & has saved me hours of time. All you need are fabrics/fibres and imagination! I really don't know how I managed without it! Highly recommended. (Posted on 6/25/09)

Hampshire UK Review by Mrs Smith
Overall rating Fantastic machine for creating textile art, extremely easy to use, will use up all those scraps of fabric that you thought you would never use and produce stunning results. This is however not a sewing machine read the technical review for more info. (Posted on 1/14/08)
