Quick Summary: 

The Janome Skyline S6 Anniversary Edition is the ultimate "sweet spot" in the Skyline series, bringing high-end professional feeding features into a highly accessible, easy-to-use package. By stepping up to a bold 9mm stitch width and integrating Janome's legendary AcuFeed Flex™ layered fabric feeding system, this machine gives you absolute control over tricky, slippery, or thick fabrics.
With speeds up to 1,000 stitches per minute and a spacious 8.3-inch workspace, it is ready to tackle voluminous quilts, heavy denim coats, and delicate knit dresses with equal ease. It offers the robust, heavy-duty feel of a top-tier machine, but keeps navigation straightforward with a clean LCD touch pad rather than a complex computer screen.

Best for:

This machine sits proudly in our "Advanced" tier. It is designed for advanced sewists and ambitious garment makers who require precision fabric handling for slippery fabrics or thick, stretchy knits. If you are frustrated by puckered seams and mismatched plaids and want a machine that feeds perfectly from both the top and bottom, the S6 AE is your perfect match.

Why we Love it: 

We love the Skyline S6 Anniversary Edition because it brings Janome's premium AcuFeed Flex system down to a more accessible price point. We know that garment sewists desperately need the precision of a walking foot system for knits and matched seams, but they don't always want to pay for hundreds of extra decorative stitches or massive touchscreens. The S6 AE delivers exactly the power and precision our apparel community needs.

Key Features: 

  • Flawless Fabric Feeding: The AcuFeed Flex™ system feeds the top and bottom layers of your fabric in perfect sync, meaning your plaids will match flawlessly and slippery knits won't stretch out of shape.
  • Bolder Decorative Stitching: Because it utilizes a wide 9mm stitch width, your built-in decorative stitches and buttonholes will look dramatically bolder and more prominent than on standard 7mm machines.
  • High-Speed Stability: Weighing in at 23.6 lbs, this heavy-duty computerized machine drastically reduces vibration, ensuring smooth, even stitches even when you push the speed control slider to 1,000 SPM.

Specifications:

  • Speed: Up to 1,000 Stitches Per Minute (SPM)
  • Workspace: 8.3" x 4.7" with free-arm capability
  • Stitches: 196 built-in stitches, 10 one-step buttonholes, and 4 alphabet fonts
  • Max Stitch Width / Length: 9mm width / 5mm length
  • Feed System: AcuFeed Flex™ Fabric Feeding System & 7-Piece Feed Dog
  • Convenience: LCD display with touch pad, automatic thread cutter, Superior Needle Threader 2, start/stop button, and adjustable knee lifter
  • Included Feet: 11 standard feet (including the AcuFeed Flex Dual Feed foot) plus an extra-wide extension table

FAQ: 

Does it have a free arm? Yes! You can easily remove the accessory storage box to access the free arm, making it simple to sew tubular items like sleeves, cuffs, and pant hems.
Does it come with an extension table? Yes, the Anniversary Edition of the Skyline S6 includes the extra-wide extension table right in the box, giving you a massive, flat surface for supporting heavy coats or quilts.
Can I sew knits with this machine? Absolutely. Between the AcuFeed Flex system perfectly feeding your layers and the adjustable presser foot pressure dial, you can sew highly stretchable knits like cotton spandex or French terry without any waving or puckering.

Things to Know Before Buying:

Because the Skyline S6 AE is a 9mm machine, you must ensure you only use 9mm-compatible presser feet and accessories to avoid needle strikes. Additionally, while it is a computerized machine, it uses a push-button LCD touch pad for stitch selection. If you prefer a full-color, interactive touchscreen to swipe through your stitches, you will want to look at the next model up, the Skyline S7 AE.

Closest Comparisons:
  • Janome Skyline S6 AE vs. Skyline S3 AE: The S6 AE is a significant upgrade over the S3 AE. While the S3 has a 7mm stitch width and standard feeding, the S6 jumps to a 9mm stitch width, a faster 1,000 SPM, and upgrades the feed system to the AcuFeed Flex walking foot system for ultimate heavy-duty fabric handling.
  • Janome Skyline S6 AE vs. Skyline S7 AE: Both are incredible 9mm machines with AcuFeed Flex. However, the S7 AE upgrades you to a large color LCD touchscreen, boosts the stitch count to 350, adds an automatic presser foot lift, and provides a slightly faster top speed of 1,060 SPM. The S6 AE is perfect if you want the AcuFeed mechanics but prefer simpler, push-button navigation.
