Janome 3160QDC-G Purple Computerized Sewing Machine with Bonus (Used)

The Janome 3160QDC-G in Grapevine Purple is a full-featured computerized sewing machine designed with quilters in mind, though its versatile stitch selection and thoughtful conveniences make it equally capable for garment sewing and general projects. This lightly used machine was trialed by a customer for less than one month, comes with all original accessories and packaging, and carries the full Janome manufacturer warranty — making it an excellent way to get a premium machine at a reduced price. The 3160QDC-G includes a quilter-focused bonus accessory package that adds immediate value right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'used' mean for this machine — what condition is it actually in?

This machine was trialed by a customer for less than one month and returned in like-new condition. It includes all original accessories, bonus items, and original packaging. It shows no meaningful wear and performs as new.

Does this used machine still come with the full Janome warranty?

Yes. Because OSP Machines is an authorized Janome dealer, this machine carries the complete Janome manufacturer warranty: a 25-year mechanical warranty, 2-year electrical warranty, and free parts and labor for the first year — regardless of its used status.

What bonus accessories are included with this machine?

This package includes five bonus items: an Open Toe Even Feed Foot with Guide, an Open Toe Satin Stitch Foot, an Open Toe Darning Foot, a Quarter-Inch Seam Foot, and a Quilting Guide. These are in addition to the standard Janome accessory set.

Is the Janome 3160QDC-G a good machine for a beginner quilter?

Yes. The 3160QDC-G is well-suited for beginner to intermediate sewists and quilters. Its Superior Plus Feed System handles multiple fabric layers reliably, the snap-on feet make transitions between tasks easy, and features like the automatic needle threader and memorized needle position reduce the learning curve. The included bonus quilting feet mean you can start quilting right away without additional purchases.

Can this machine handle free-motion quilting?

Yes. The included Open Toe Darning Foot is designed for free-motion quilting and embroidery work. You would drop the feed dogs on the machine to allow free movement of your quilt sandwich while stitching.
