The Skyline S6 comes with 196 built-in stitches, including 10 one-step buttonholes and 1 font (4 alphabets).  All sewists will enjoy the AcuFeed™ Flex Layered Fabric Feeding System and sewing speed up to 1,000 stitches per minute.  There are 6 LED lights in 3 locations, automatic thread cutter, superior needle threader, 9mm decorative stitches and 7 levels of foot pressure.  The LCD screen has 8 direct stitch selection keys with your commonly used everyday stitches plus easy access to functions – stitch elongation, twin needle setting, mirror image, stitch startover, machine lock and the set menu. Inside the machine lid is the stitch chart with stitches placed together for their functionality – buttonholes, satin stitches, quilting stitches, decorative stitches, alphabets, etc.  For something different, we packaged Blue Janome bobbins with this model. All features on this model have been created with the sewist in mind; sit, sew and enjoy.
