The Janome Skyline S5 : :


I’ve been using the new Janome Skyline S5 for the last few weeks and I'm here today to share with you all that absolutely love it! Right out of the box I noticed that it has many of the same features I've grown to love and use daily on my regular more expensive home machine, the Horizon MC15000. Both include an extensive catalog of built-in stitches, a feature I often take advantage of. I love getting creative with decorative stitches and with the Skyline S5 you can, too!







A few more of my favorite Skyline features include the start/stop button, an automatic thread cutter, easy set bobbin, speed control slider, wonderful lighting, and the Janome precision you get with each stitch!



While I really love my current Janome, I found that this machine is equally sturdy & powerful and really does offer everything I use most in my day to day sewing. Plus it's nice and compact and pretty!



Over the weeks I enjoyed using the Skyline to make dozens of my birthday crowns and for piecing HST's for my current quilt wip. I made my niece a Christmas stocking and best of all taught my friend how to make her very first quilt!





Using the Skyline to make a quilt was the biggest test for me! Since I've been pretty spoiled these past couple of years using both a Horizon MC12000 and now the MC15000, I was excited to see if my friend would appreciate the Skyline when compared to her current at home machine. It ended up being such a treat for her! The Skyline's spacious bed and throat space made her first try at quilting easy. Having the extra room made such a difference for my friend who's use to a much smaller space. The Skyline's extra lighting made for a much brighter work area, too, and we both love that!









In the end she made a beautiful, first quilt! And hooray, I think she's hooked and I owe much of that to the experience and quality that comes from sewing with the Janome Skyline S5!

I want to thank Janome for giving me the opportunity to try out this new machine, I hate to have to send it back! And I also want to thank them for producing such high-quality machines! Oh how I wish I would have had a Skyline when I was first starting out!

Thanks for stopping by today! ♡ Maureen
