Janome 5300QDC: sew garments, quilt and add decorative detail
The Janome 5300QDC gives you 300 built-in stitches, including 12 automatic buttonholes, plus an English block alphabet and symbols. Use everyday stitches for seams and hems, or explore appliqué, decorative borders, patchwork and lettering.
The included wide extension table supports larger pieces. An open-toe walking foot with quilting guide, a quarter-inch foot and a range of garment-sewing feet give you useful tools for different projects. An automatic thread cutter and controls within easy reach help you move between seams. The rigid die-cast aluminium frame supports the sewing mechanism.
Find and personalise your stitches
The backlit LCD shows the selected stitch and sewing information. Ten direct-selection buttons help you find everyday stitches, while the detachable chart makes the full range easy to check. Flip the chart to view both sides and fold it behind the machine when you finish.
Program combinations of up to 50 patterns. Mirror eligible stitches, or elongate selected satin stitches up to five times their normal length. Add letters and symbols for labels, names and decorative details.
Make buttonholes for your garments
Choose from 12 automatic sensor buttonhole styles, including square, rounded and keyhole designs. Place the button in the sliding gauge on foot R to set the size. Test the buttonhole on a sample with the same fabric and interfacing as your garment.
Stitch width adjusts up to 7 mm and length up to 5 mm. The zipper, blind-hemming and overedge feet help with other finishing tasks. Use the appropriate foot and settings for your selected stitch.
Control your sewing pace and seam finish
Limit the maximum speed with the speed slider. Sew with the foot control, or disconnect it and use the start/stop button. The needle up/down button helps you stop with the needle in position for a turn. Reverse and lock-off controls secure your stitching.
Press the scissors button to cut the upper and bobbin threads after sewing. A manual cutter is also available for thick or specialised threads. The superior needle threader assists with threading, and wide-angle LED lighting illuminates the sewing area.
Support fabric as you sew and quilt
The Superior Plus Feed System uses seven-piece feed dogs with a flat feeding action. Adjust the six-level foot-pressure dial to suit the fabric. The top-loading bobbin uses Janome’s Easy Set system. Guide markings on the needle plate and bobbin cover help you follow seam allowances, and the machine can sew at speeds up to 820 stitches per minute.
Fit the wide extension table for extra support. Use the quarter-inch foot for patchwork and the walking foot to help feed quilt layers together. Lower the feed dogs and fit the included open-toe darning foot for free-motion work. Remove the accessory compartment to expose the free arm for sleeves and cuffs.
Keep your hands on the fabric
The supplied knee lift raises the presser foot with your right leg, leaving both hands free to guide or reposition fabric. Release it to lower the foot. This is a standard knee lift without an angle adjustment.
Three included optic magnifier lenses give you a closer view of the needle area. Their 20, 40 and 60 strengths provide 1.2×, 1.4× and 1.6× magnification. Adjust the viewing angle, swing the magnifier aside or remove it when you do not need it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 5300QDC suitable for dressmaking and quilting?
Yes. It has everyday and decorative stitches, 12 buttonhole styles and useful garment-sewing feet. The extension table, quarter-inch foot and walking foot support patchwork and quilting. Choose suitable needles, thread and settings, and test on the same layers as your project.
Can it sew names and embroidery designs?
It can sew the built-in alphabet and symbols along a stitched line. You can also combine decorative stitch patterns. It does not use embroidery hoops or imported embroidery files. Choose a dedicated embroidery machine if you want to stitch those designs.
Does the thread cutter cut both threads?
Yes. Press the scissors button after sewing to cut the upper and bobbin threads. For thick or specialised threads, follow the manual’s guidance and use the manual cutter when required.
Can I sew without the foot pedal?
Yes. Disconnect the foot control and use the start/stop button. The speed slider sets your maximum sewing speed. The supplied foot control is available when you prefer pedal-operated sewing.
Are the extension table and magnifiers included?
Yes. The wide extension table, three optic magnifiers and standard knee lift are included. The quilt attachment set includes the walking foot, quarter-inch foot and open-toe darning foot, as listed above.
Can I use a twin needle?
Yes. Use a suitable twin needle, thread the machine as directed and select twin-needle mode for an allowed stitch. Follow the manual’s limits for needle size and stitch selection before sewing.
Where can I find the stitches and operating instructions?
Read Janome’s Australian 5300QDC brochure. The supplied instruction book explains threading, buttonholes, stitch combinations and care. The detachable chart helps you find stitches while sewing.
