Frequently Asked Questions
How does the advanced order process work with the free gift card? Securing your advanced order locks in your unit from our upcoming allocation. The free 160 dollar gift card will be issued straight to your email account upon confirmation, allowing you to stock up on threads, notions, and extra feet immediately.
Can I switch the needle plate quickly without tools? Yes. The Janome Skyline S5 uses a one-step needle plate removal button. You simply press the lever to pop off the default zigzag plate and lock the straight-stitch plate down into place.
What is the benefit of a 9mm stitch width? Standard machines cap out at 5mm or 7mm. A 9mm maximum width gives your decorative accents, satin stitch borders, and custom lettering far more definition, creative presence, and style impact on your projects.
