Janome America is adding two vibrant new models to its popular Travel Mate series—introducing the Travel Mate 200 (TM200) and Travel Mate 50 (TM50). Joining the well-loved TM30 and TM16, these new arrivals continue Janome’s tradition of delivering portable, high-performance sewing machines—just in time for the holiday season.
Designed for sewists and quilters who need a reliable, travel-friendly machine, the Travel Mate series stands out for its lightweight design, solid interior frame, and built-in carrying handle. Whether heading to a quilting retreat, a sewing class or simply moving between workspaces, these machines are built to go wherever creativity strikes.
“Traveling quilters love our TM16 and TM30 models,” says John Ryan, Janome’s Vice President of Business Development. “With the TM50 and TM200, we wanted to offer even more advanced features while preserving the portability and reliability Janome is known for.”
