This machine is easy to use even a novice can use. No amount of attachments are needed to accomplish any task. Its light weight and the folded fabric cover makes it easy to transport anywhere. I have been teaching my daughter to sew and bring this machine to her apartment a lot. She sits at her machine and I at this one (they are not the same machines) and her at hers and do all the instructions from there. Some things just click. In the last month she has made masks for her whole family.

So far it’s been easy to set up and a dream to sew with! Loving all the cool features, like having the option to sew with either presser foot or with stop/start button (still getting used to that one!). Always had problems adjusting tension with old (much cheaper) singer machine and happy with Janome auto tension settings. (See difference in basic stitching as photo)

A very nice machine, glad I finally got it. Took several weeks for order to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I’m not very patient when it comes to waiting.

So far I am loving my Janome Skyline S3 sewing machine. Only thing so far that is confusing for me is me is when I want to buy a walking and free motion foot. I am not sure if I have to use a Janome foot, or if I can use one that says I can use an unbranded one that says certain pressure feet can be used on several different machines including Janome.

The Janome was a machine I was really interested in and the price was great.

This sewing machine is great, would highly recommend to someone who want’s a serious machine that should last a long time. It’s easy to use, has a great stitch quality. This sewing machine is the starter for the Skyline series and works as well as the top of the series. Janome makes well made sewing machines, with confidence would say this is a great buy at a great price.

This machine sews like a dream! Plenty of bells and whistles for a high end machine with a realistic price. I don’t regret buying this and it has helped my piecework immensely! Having speed control and being able to move the needle is a huge help! The thread cutting button is great and I have stopped using the foot pedal! The start/stop button is fun! If you are looking for high end features on a budget, this machine is for you! Home Depot is an authorized dealer so your warranty stays intact!

I was in the middle of making Face masks due to COVID-19 when my 4th brother machine in 5 years broke. I did a ton of research and decided on the Janome skyline s3. I am in love with this machine and wish I would have switched years ago! Highly recommend it.

Because of this corona virus situation she been sewing cloth masks for family and friends.That old machine could not keep up. After researching online we decided on the janome machine, It had a lot of good reviews so we bought it. She LOVES it and so happy with it

Great design, good stitch quality. Quiet and easy to use. I wish it had a memory feature to store the custom stitch arrangements you can create.
