- Is the Skyline S9 good for beginners?
- It can be, but the embroidery side has a real learning curve. The touchscreen and automatic tension help, yet expect time to learn hooping and color changes.
- Can it embroider without a computer?
- Yes. The 250 designs are built in and selectable on the touchscreen. You can also transfer designs by USB.
- How does it compare with the Janome MC6700P?
- The 6700P is a sewing and quilting machine without embroidery. The S9 adds a full embroidery arm and design library, so choose it if embroidery matters to you.
- Does it come with hoops?
- It ships with standard embroidery hoops for its built-in designs. Larger hoops are sold separately.
- Is it good for quilting?
- Yes. The AcuFeed Flex system and wide stitch selection suit piecing and quilting, though the throat space is smaller than on long-arm machines.
- Does it have an automatic thread cutter?
- Yes. It cuts the thread at the end of a seam or embroidery color block, which owners say saves time.
