Janome Remote Thread Cutting Switch Unit

The Janome Remote Thread Cutting Switch Unit is a practical foot-operated accessory designed for sewists, quilters, and embroiderers who want to cut threads quickly without lifting their hands from their work. Compatible with select Janome machines that support the automatic thread cutter function, this switch mounts conveniently alongside your foot controller so you can snip both the top and bobbin threads with a simple tap of your foot. The package includes the switch unit, a metal mounting bracket, and the screws needed to attach the bracket — everything required to get set up.

Key Features

• Activates your Janome machine's built-in automatic thread cutter via a dedicated foot-operated switch, keeping your hands free and on your project.
• Cuts both the top thread and bobbin thread simultaneously with a single press, saving time between stitching sequences.
• Includes a metal mounting bracket and attachment screws so the switch can be secured and positioned for comfortable foot access.
• Designed to be used alongside the Janome Extra Large Foot Controller (sold separately), allowing both speed control and thread cutting from the floor.
• Low-profile footswitch-style design fits naturally into your sewing workflow without requiring awkward reach or hand movement.
• Particularly useful for quilters sewing multiple blocks in sequence and embroiderers trimming jump threads during multi-color designs.
