Janome Skyline S3 Computerized Sewing Machine w/Semi-Hard Cover + Instructional DVD + Ultra Glide Foot + Ditch Quilting Foot + Rolled Hem Foot + Concealed Zipper Foot + Needles + Much More!

Let me begin by saying that Janome is the finest quality machine I’ve ever owned. It’s just so fancy and I’m amazed every time I sew with this awesome machine. I’ve owned only two other brands, Singer and Brother and I will say that they are great machines too and I still have much love and respect for their machines as well. However, I feel like I have won a jackpot owning this machine. It’s so smooth and quite! Now it’s pretty heavy but considering its size, it’s really not that bad. In my picture posted, there is my Brother (which is both a sewing and embroidery machine) and then there is my Janome on the left. It is quite larger than the Brother but the quality is so superior than any of my other sewing machines. I feel like this machine will definitely outlast me. The stitches are great quality. I’ve experimented with many of them but not all because there are SO many! I bought this machine mainly for quilting because of all the different stitches listed but I will use it for general sewing purposes. I love to sew just about anything but little girls dresses are so much fun! I consider myself an intermediate sewer. I’m self taught along with a good bit of YouTube videos but I’m a fast learner. With that said, if this is your first sewing machine, it may be a little tricky but follow the manual. This machine is awesome. I consider it “my Cadillac”. I know I am looking forward to using this machine for many years! Happy sewing!

I have only used it for a short while. I love the nice way it sews It I quiet and smooth. I haven't used any of the other stitches yet. I have used a pfaff machine for the last 24-5 years and this machine sees as smooth and quiet as it did at less than half the price.It has good lighting ( a must) , there is so much more to the machine that I haven't had a chance to try out yet.When I give a full review I will list pros and cons. One thing I don't like is the lack of info and videos on the web. The s5,7,9 have all kind of reviews and videos of everything about them. The s3 It was difficult to find any that did anything but tell you the parts of the machine. I will be using my machine both for quilting and general sewing. All in all, it is a larger heavier quiet machine. It is very quiet (I love) lots of nice pressor feet in the bundle. Well worth what I paid for it.

I like the machine but I want to use it for free motion quilting and it did not come with a free motion foot. I'm having trouble finding one

Love this machine! Works a lot like my old Elna so it is easy to use. So far, everything has gone well - did a run through of all the stitches and everything works. Love that it comes with some extra feet. It is a bit bigger than my Elna but that is a plus when sewing a large item - I can still pick it up and move it around but I usually keep it in one place. I will be using this machine to most of my normal sewing - think it will handle it with ease.

Love this machine, it is so smooth and the thread doesn't get tangled up. It is the easiest machine I've ever used. It's amazing!

Upgrade from Janome 8077 and loving this machine right out of the box! Sew easy and instructional DVD really helped introduce the new machine and basic operating instruction! Now the brand is amazing and sew user friendly that it won’t be overwhelming in fact for my quilting and sewing needs it’s perfect. About 3 years ago I bought my first Janome from SewVacDirect and Alan is very helpful! Thank you

This was given as a birthday gift to me. I absolutely love love love this machine!! With my hands having arthritis, the self cutting button, the self threading needle, the drop in Bob and on top instead of underneath, and the smoothness of the machine, is everything I could’ve ever hoped for! It wouldn’t be wrong in investing in this machine.

My wifes loves it. No complaints.
