  • Our take on the Janome Skyline 3

    The Janome Skyline 3 is a computerized sewing machine with 150 built-in stitches, seven one-step buttonholes and a full alphabet. It sews at up to 860 stitches per minute and winds bobbins at 1600 rpm, with Janome's Superior Feed System Plus and a 7-piece feed dog for multi-layer work. The high-contrast LCD, one-handed needle threader, easy-set bobbin and knee-lift compatibility make it a step up from basic mechanical machines and a rival to mid-range computerized models from Brother and Bernina. It suits sewists who want decorative stitching and appliqué accuracy without moving to a top-tier embroidery machine.

    About the Janome Skyline 3

    The Janome Skyline 3 is a computerized sewing machine with 150 built-in stitches, an alphabet and seven one-step buttonholes. A high-contrast LCD screen with a touch pad gives direct access to them. It is compatible with a knee lift.

    Janome's Superior Feed System Plus and a 7-piece feed dog move multi-layer projects under the needle. The patented needle plate has markings and guides for decorative stitching and appliqué work. A one-handed needle threader and an easy-set bobbin speed up setup and thread color changes.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Janome Skyline 3 good for quilting?
    Yes. The 7 mm stitch width, 15 needle positions and plate markings help with piecing and appliqué, and the feed system handles layered quilts. A knee lift helps for free-motion work but is sold separately.
    How does it compare with the Skyline S5 or S7?
    The Skyline 3 has 150 stitches and a 7 mm width; higher Skyline models add more stitches, a larger screen and, on the S7, embroidery. The S3 is the simpler, lighter option of the line.
    Does it come with a knee lift?
    The machine is knee-lift compatible, but the knee lift lever is not part of the standard accessory set. It is available as a separate Janome accessory.
    What is included in the box?
    Standard accessories include presser feet for general, zipper and buttonhole work, bobbins, needles, a seam ripper and a dust cover. Check the accessory list for the exact set.
    Can it sew denim and heavy fabric?
    Yes. The Superior Feed System Plus and 7-piece feed dog are built for multi-layer projects, and the machine handles denim and canvas with the right needle.
    Does it have a speed control?
    Yes. Sewing speed is adjustable up to 860 stitches per minute, and bobbin winding runs at 1600 rpm.
    Where is the Janome Skyline 3 cheapest?
    At The Quilt Store, for $961.00, as of our latest check.
