New Sewing Machine
Does anyone have the new Janome Skyline 7 sewing machine? Any comments and or suggestions. Would love to hear from anyone that has one. Thanks in advance.

I don't have the machine but I did have a chance to sew on one at a class a few weeks ago. Very nice! I'm not in the market for a new machine but I would seriously consider this one if I was. I attended a "Janome event" and they were offering the machines as class machines for 999. Would have been a real good deal but......

I have it and love it.
|
Have you tried other machines?? There is nothing worse then buying a new machine and then find out you had bought something else.

After sewing on my Janome 6600. I wouldn't purchase a machine without the integrated walking foot... Acufeed. An add on walking foot is so loud by comparison.
|
I also have the Janome 6600 (for about 6 years) and would have a hard time choosing a new one. This one has all the bells and whistles that I couldn't live without and runs like a champ. I have NEVER had anything I couldn't sew - last week had 8 layers of heavy denim when making a purse and the Accufeed zipped right thru it. If you've had a 6600 and upgraded what did you choose and are you as happy with it - that is of course if you were as happy as I am with my 6600. Thanks!

I also love my Janome 6600 with all its bells & whistles.

I have both the Janome 6600 and the 8900 (with the accuflex foot-add on walking foot). There is NO comparison ...the AccuFeed foot on the 6600 is far better IMHO and the accuflex foot broke at about the 11 month point with medium amount of use. The dealer replaced it free but it's nowhere near as sturdy as the AccuFeed foot. If they remade the 8900 with the AccuFeed foot, I'd replace my machine.

thank you ladies for your input. Wish there was a Babylock dealer near me, just might have to find one. Will not jump into something so important.
|
My Skyline is just 1 year old. I love it. It has a variety of built in stitches and it's all I need.
