Free motion is similar on most machines.

Install a brand new sharp needle (embroidery, top stitch, microtex, or universal) of the size that is compatible with the thread weight and fabric.

Drop the feed dogs. If you machine doesn't have the capability, there should be a feed dog cover in your accessory kit that needs to be covered,. This prevents the feed dogs from interfering with your manual maneuvering of the fabric.

Install a darning foot or free motion foot.

Test your stitch and adjust the tension so the threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

Then, it is a matter of practice, practice, practice...

JANOME NEW HOME MY EXCEL 18W / MW3018 FREE ARM SEWING MACHINE -
Here are the steps to sew a buttonhole on the Janome New Home My Excel 18W/MW3018 sewing machine:
  1. Attach the buttonhole foot to the machine.
  2. Place the button in the back of the buttonhole foot and adjust the foot so that the button fits snugly.
  3. Select the buttonhole stitch on the machine. It may be a buttonhole symbol or a number corresponding to the buttonhole stitch.
  4. Set the stitch length to the desired length for the buttonhole. The machine may have preset lengths or you can adjust it manually.
  5. Place the fabric under the foot and lower the foot.
  6. Sew the first side of the buttonhole. Stop the machine when it reaches the end of the buttonhole.
  7. Sew the second side of the buttonhole, stopping at the end.
  8. Use a seam ripper or scissors to open the buttonhole carefully.
  9. Remove the fabric from the machine and trim any loose threads.
Make sure to practice on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing the buttonhole on your project.

How can I do free motion on my excel 18w
You can do free motion on any machine that you can cover the feed dogs or lower them out of the way. Try free motion with the foot in the down position and in the up position to see what works best.

I have new Janone My Excel 18W Limited Edition and have misplaed Manual - any idea in Melbourne Australia where I can pick up copy.
You can download a free copy at http://safemanuals.com/brand-user-guide-instructions-owner-manual/JANOME. Simply enter "18W" for the model number. It will bring up a preview of the fist three pages. You will, from there, need to do a review of the product to retrieve the rest of the download, but I've already checked this sight out and had some other technical friends do so as well. It doesn't save any private information and there are no viruses or anything in your download, so it's all very safe. You'll have a free copy of your user's manual in no time!

Happy sewing!
