Janome’s mission is to produce machines which inspire creativity and innovation, yet are simple to use.\u00a0In Japanese, the word Janome (pronounced Ja-NO-me) means “eye of the snake.” The company earned the name in the 1920s when founder Yosaku Ose, a pioneer in Japanese sewing manufacturing, began to use a round metal bobbin system instead of the traditional long shuttle. The Japanese thought the new round bobbin looked like a snake’s eye, and from the innovative design, a name was born.<\/p>\n\n\nJanome<\/a> products have been at the cutting edge of sewing technology since the earliest days of their founding. They were the first to develop a computerized machine for home use (the Memory 7, in 1979), the first to offer professional style embroidery to the home market (the Memory Craft 8000, in 1990) and the first to offer a long-arm quilting machine for home use (the Memory Craft 6500P, in 2003).\u00a0Today, their flagship model, the Horizon Memory Craft 15000, is redefining the way\u00a0sewists\u00a0enjoy their hobby. This revolutionary machine is the first-ever wireless-enabled sewing machine.\nJanome machines will be made available to students in classes taught by Karla Alexander, Bonnie Browning, Gundrun Erla, and Lora Kennedy.\"\"<\/a>\nMoore\u2019s<\/a> is a family owned business.

The shop quickly grew and\u00a0was warmly welcomed into the community. They were joined in 2002 by their daughter,\u00a0Jenny Nobile who helped expand their business to a second location in Arcadia, California.\nProud of their exceptional customer service and devotion to helping customers stay up-to-date with the latest sewing trends, Pollard’s\u00a0is also known for their excellent sewing and embroidery classes, and their unique one-of-a-kind products.
