Tension Control

When you select “A” on the tension dial, you will activate the Automatic Tension System. On this setting, the machine will automatically adjust based on the detected thickness of your fabric. This is extremely useful, especially when you plan on switching between types and layers of fabric. This will allow users to achieve impeccable stitch consistency on nearly every material. You can also manually set your tension by selecting a number on the tension dial instead.

Stitch Selection

View a wide range of data for all your stitching and feet select options right on the accessible LCD screen. The backlit, digital screen with display all your information in clear, sharp characters, while the backlit capabilities help make things more visible. Near the screen, you can find navigation keys to easily make your way through the menu. These keys will allow users to select stitches and customize them to their liking.

 

The Skyline S5 Easy Convenience Features

Advanced Stop and Start Button

Say goodbye to your foot pedal! With the stop/start button, your machine can sew without it. This button makes sewing a long seam a piece of cake, and quick mending can be done in a snap. It’s also a wonderful tool for speed control. When starting a seam, just press the button and hold for a slow and steady acceleration until you reach your desired speed. When you finish, repeat the above step to gradually slow down. Simply release the button to stop. This brand new (and exclusive) Janome feature puts the control in your hands.

 

Automated Thread Cutter

Cut your thread with just a push of a button. Forget having to reach for scissors or having to wrap threads around back to reach a blade. With the revolutionary thread cutter feature, you’ll have shorter thread tails, which save you a lot of thread you might’ve wasted cutting it yourself!

 

Easy Reverse Button

Backstitches for locking seams have never been easier. The easy reverse button gives you the power to backtrack or even stop a stitch pattern before it’s finished, and all this power is right at your finger tip.

 

Locking Stitch

Use the locking stitch button to automatically tie off the end of your thread. This eliminates the need to backstitch a lock seam. The locking stitch does wonders for securing a seam on delicate fabrics or when employing a decorative stitch.

 

Memorized Needle Up/Down

Simply press this button to stop the needle in the up or down position—and you can make this a memorized setting! If you want effortless pivots on corners and beautiful free motion embroidery, set the needle in the down position. To remove fabric with ease, set it to up.

 

One Step Plate Converter

Sewing is all about making use of the right tools at the right times. For piecing quilts or working on lightweight fabrics, a straight stitch needle plate is vital for getting the best quality results. With the One Step Plate Converter, you can swap out plates easily, making sure that you always have the perfect plate for the job at hand. All you need to do is press a button to release the current plate and then put your new one in. The process takes seconds, and you need no tools!

Ergonomic Knee Lift

You’ll see convenience at it’s finest when you see the Ergonomic knee lift. The lift is a lever to comes downward off the machine and allows the user to use their knee to control the presser foot. This feature is great for projects that require the user to keep both of their hands on their fabric. With the knee lift, you don’t need to use your hands to raise or lower the foot. Not to mention, the lift is perfect for appliqué and quilting, especially projects where you need to frequently move and shift your fabric. Because the lift is adjustable, you can place it wherever is most comfortable for you.

 

Superior Plus Feed System (SFS+)

This amazing feature is comprised of an innovative 7-part feed dog system that remains parallel while moving up and down. This allows it to keep contact with the fabric you’re working on constantly. You’ll get better control out of this “flat feed” technology regardless of whether you’re sewing backwards or forwards.

 

Easy Set Bobbin Case and Cover

This specially-constructed bobbin case and cover eliminates the need to pull long thread tails around when you thread the machine. All you need to do is slide your thread through the cover plate guide. From there, the built-in blade will trim the tail to your desired length so you can start with a super clean cut for the beginning of your stitching line. Once the initial threading is completed. the automatic thread cutter will trim and reset your tails every time.

 

Speed Control Slider

Use the speed control slider to the set the speed for your comfort level. The slider also gives you the power to set the high and low end speeds for your machine. For intricate work, select slower speeds, and for long, straight seams, pick a higher speed. Beginners love the control slider, but you should never exceed the speed you’re most comfortable with. By staying in your comfort zone, you will minimize the risk of injury and user error. The Skyline S5 has a maximum sewing speed of 1000 stitches per minute and a minimum of 60.

 

Bobbin Winder Plate & Cutter
