Janome Heritage: Beautiful 1902 New Home Machine

This wonderful machine sits in an equally beautiful cabinet.

837-janome-heritage-beautiful-1902-new-home-machineWe came across this beautiful 1902 New Home treadle machine on the Heirlooms by Ashton House blog and thought you'd enjoy it.

It's owned by Kimber Mitchell, a magazine writer, quilt book editor, and avid quilter. Visit her blog to see the whole story on how she got it.

She and her husband live in a beautiful 1885 Victorian home and the machine fits right in with their vintage and antique collections. Kimber named the machine "Tabitha" and gave us permission to share her photo of it.

We believe Tabitha is a New Home model A3. The major features for that model were a vibrating shuttle, a top tension control with release lever, a stitch length regulator on bed, narrow shank shuttle carrier, and a bobbin winder.

The label inside the cabinet says the machine shipped from New Home's Chicago facility on August 8, 1902.

It came with this guarantee: "If it fails from imperfection within Ten Years, we will supply the part free of charge. Should this machine fail at any time to give perfect satisfaction and you do not find our agent to attend to it, write us and you will receive prompt attention."

Today's Janome/New Home machines come with a 25 year warranty. But we still can't beat that gorgeous decoration.

Kimber says she's actually sewn on the machine and that after 111 years it still works well with "really nice" stitch quality.
