With 196 built-in stitches, including 10 one-step buttonholes, this machine provides a wide range of creative options for every sewing and quilting project. Its large workspace, measuring 8.25" to the right of the needle, accommodates bigger projects, such as quilts and home decor items, while the intuitive stitch selection and automatic thread cutter streamline your workflow for efficient sewing.
This special edition Skyline S6 also features Janome’s AcuFeed Flex system, ensuring smooth, consistent fabric feeding, even on thick or multiple layers of fabric.

1,000 Stitches Per Minute
The Janome Skyline S6 Anniversary Edition is designed for efficiency and speed, offering a maximum sewing speed of up to 1,000 stitches per minute. This high stitch rate allows sewists to complete projects more quickly without sacrificing precision or stitch quality. Whether you're working on detailed quilting, garment construction, or decorative stitching, the fast stitching speed ensures smooth and consistent results. Despite its impressive speed, the machine also features adjustable speed control, giving you the flexibility to slow down for intricate work or speed up for longer seams, making it adaptable to a wide variety of sewing tasks.
Free Arm | Built-in Storage
Once you remove the extension table, you can access your machine's free arm, making cuffs, hems, and circular projects more accessible. Also located in the bed of the S6 is a small storage space for bobbins, needles, and other small notions. There's even an additional storage space for presser feet on top of the machine by the bobbin winder.
Accufeed Flex System
The AcuFeed Flex Fabric Feeding System is ideal for quilting, seaming, traditional sewing, or any sewing requiring precise control. The system consists of single and twin dual-feed attachments, perfectly guiding your fabric from the top and bottom.
One-Step Needle Plate Conversion
Changing out the needle plate could not be easier on the Skyline S6AE. Simply remove the extension table, raise the needle and presser foot, push down the needle plate release lever, swap the needle plate out for the new one, lock it into place, and you are ready to sew.
One-Touch Buttons
Equipped with convenient one-touch buttons, the Skyline S6 allows you to switch tasks smoothly. You will find the following options along the front of the machine: start/stop, reverse, auto-lock, needle up/down, thread cutter, and speed control slider. With these buttons, you can raise or lower the needle, prevent your stitches from coming undone, trim threads, and set the speed control slider to low, medium, or high for precise sewing at comfortable speeds.
Backlit LCD Screen | Function Keys
The easy-to-read screen displays your stitch pattern, mode, stitch pattern number, recommended presser foot, stitch width, and stitch length. You can also use the function keys to edit, program, and save stitch combinations. Program up to 50 stitch combinations at once on the screen.
91 Needle Positions
The Skyline S6 offers 91 unique needle positions. These different positions allow for more detail in decorative stitches and stunning fine adjustments in all stitch creations. And with the 9mm stitch width, this sort of bold detail can be easily appreciated.
Drop Feed
The SKS6AE has a built-in lever that, when pressed, automatically lowers the feed dogs so you can quickly switch to free-motion quilting.
7-Piece Feed Dogs
Get professional-quality stitches with the help of the 7-piece feed dog system. This seven-piece feed dog system ensures a more consistent fabric feed, keeping layers from shifting as you sew.
Drop-in Bobbin
Bobbin changes are effortless with the quick-set drop-in bobbin. Drop your bobbin in the machine, pull your threads through the slot, and let your Skyline do the rest.
Knee Lifter
Using the knee lifter, you can raise and lower the presser foot with your knee, leaving both hands free to handle the fabric.
SUPERIOR NEEDLE THREADER V2

The superior needle threader's advanced design feeds your thread through the eye of the needle with precise accuracy every time. This innovation allows for precise threading in a few easy steps, allowing you to go right to sewing. Also, it doesn't strain your eyes! Please note the needle threader cannot be used with the twin needle.
LED Lighting
6 LED lights in 3 convenient locations provide brighter and shadow-free illumination compared to conventional lighting. Power-saving and eco-friendly LED bulbs are a more innovative solution. These bulbs don't release much heat and last substantially longer than traditional sewing machine bulbs.
Foot Pressure Dial | Thread Tension Dial
Use the foot pressure dial settings to reduce or increase the foot pressure according to the type of material; lightweight and stretchy fabrics require more pressure, while heavier fabric requires less. This feature ensures consistent stitches on all fabric types.
Easily set the thread tension dial to "Auto" for general sewing. Manual thread tension adjustment may be required when the stitch width exceeds "7.0".
