At a Glance
5" Full-Color LCD Touchscreen
The 5" full-color LCD touchscreen displays various information from choosing stitches to recommended presser feet as well as useful sewing tips. The well-lit, user-friendly screen provides a great place to edit, design, and create.
Hands-Free Control
One-Touch Buttons
Equipped with convenient one-touch buttons, the Skyline S9 allows you to switch tasks smoothly. You will find the following options along the front of the machine: start/stop, reverse, auto-lock, needle up/down, thread cutter, and speed control slider. With these buttons, you can raise or lower the needle, prevent your stitches from coming undone, trim threads, and set the speed control slider to low, medium, or high for precise sewing at comfortable speeds.
Effortless Switching
One-Step Needle Plate Conversion
Changing out the needle plate could not be easier on the Skyline S9. Simply remove the extension table, raise the needle and presser foot, push down the needle plate release lever, swap the needle plate out for the new one, lock it into place, and you are ready to sew.
Fine Detail
91 Needle Positions
The Skyline S9 offers 91 unique needle positions. These different positions allow for more detail in decorative stitches and stunning fine adjustments in all stitch creations. And with the 9mm stitch width, this sort of bold detail can be easily appreciated.
Even Feeding
Accufeed Flex System
The AcuFeed Flex Fabric Feeding System is ideal for quilting, seaming, traditional sewing, or any sewing requiring precise control. The system consists of single and twin dual-feed attachments, perfectly guiding your fabric from the top and bottom.
Ease of Use
Superior Needle Threader
The Skyline S9 features a built-in needle threader, taking out the guesswork, near-misses, and frustration! Effortlessly thread your machine needle in seconds without straining your eyes. With just a few simple motions, your needle is threaded and ready to sew.
Design Anywhere
iPad Apps
Enjoy 5 amazing iPad apps to improve the quality of your embroidery. AcuDesign: Purchase, edit, import, export, print, and edit your designs. AcuEdit: Edit designs at any time or place, even when your sewing machine is stitching. AcuMonitor: Check the current progress of embroidery work, even if you are away from the machine. AcuSetter: Adjust the position of designs using your iPad. AcuSketch: Create an embroidery design with your finger or a stylus and export the design.
Versatility
Free Arm | Built-in Storage
Once you remove the extension table, you can access your machine's free arm, making cuffs, hems, and circular projects more accessible. Also located in the bed of the S9 is a small storage space for bobbins, needles, and other small notions. There's even an additional storage space for presser feet on top of the machine by the bobbin winder.
Clean Finish
Auto Jump Thread Trimming
There are 3 thread-cutting options for embroidery. Activate a cutting command, and the Skyline S9 will automatically trim the jump threads, cut at color change/end, or cut wherever a trim code is in an imported stitch data file. This time-saving feature eliminates the need for tedious thread weeding after embroidery.
Endless Options
Stitch Chart
The Skyline S9 encompasses an incredible collection of built-in stitches and embroidery designs. 300 built-in stitches, including 11 different styles of buttonholes. 3 fonts offer diversity for decorative stitch monogramming. 250 built-in embroidery designs are included, featuring 40 exclusive Anna Maria Horner designs. The monogramming abilities are better than ever, with 20 monogramming fonts and 2 & 3-letter options. With so many built-in stitches and embroidery designs, you will never fall short of creative options!
Design Your Own
Stitch Composer
Can you ever have enough decorative stitches? Your machine comes with plenty to get you started, but you can undoubtedly enjoy creating your own! The Stitch Composer software is included with the Skyline S9 and enables you to create unique original stitches or modify existing ones. Using the built-in USB port, you can easily transfer them to the machine.
Creative Control
Variable Zig Zag
Cutting-edge tools allow for creative expression. The Skyline S9 features a Variable Zig Zag. This enables precision control over the stitch width using the knee lift! Begin with a straight stitch, then while the machine is still running, press against the knee lifter to widen your stitch to a 9mm zigzag. Release pressure to gradually return to a straight stitch for a tapered finish. Don't want a 9mm stitch? You can easily control the maximum width of the stitch setting in the machine's set mode.
