Xpression Needle Punch Felting
Machine |
|
The Xpression
is the first machine from Janome that allows you to do needle punch felting.
It doesn't
require thread, a bobbin, or any previous sewing experience. You can
achieve amazing, one-of-a-kind fabric effects on your first try.

Instead of one needle, the Xpression has five needles joined into a single
unit, so they move up and down in unison. On the sides of each needle are
tiny barbs. As the needles pierce the top layer of material, these barbs
catch the individual fibers and push them down into the bottom layer. |

Five round holes in the needle plate correspond to the five needle points.
These holes are slightly larger than those found on other felting machines,
allowing penetration through even multiple layers to occur easily, quickly
and cleanly, allowing for a better blending of fibers. |

The fibers mingle to create new color and texture combinations that simply
cannot be achieved with embroidery, appliqué, or any other kind of
needlework. In needle felting there is no "right side" or "wrong side."
Whether you push the fibers through from the front or back depends on the
effect you're trying to achieve. Experimentation is part of the fun. |
