The Janome Skyline S9 Sewing and Embroidery Machine is a sewing and embroidery combo machine built for makers who want to create and personalize in one streamlined setup. It's a great fit for quilters, garment sewists, and gift makers who want the flexibility to sew, customize, and finish projects all on one machine.
What makes the S9 stand out is the balance of usable embroidery space and an efficient workflow. The 6.7" x 7.9" embroidery area gives you room for meaningful layouts, while wireless connectivity lets you send designs quickly and keep your projects moving.
On the sewing side, the S9 delivers the performance you expect from the Skyline series. The AcuFeed Flex™ system provides consistent feeding through layers for quilting and long seams, and the AcuGuide cloth guide helps you sew straighter and more consistently — especially on larger projects.
On the embroidery side, the S9 keeps things intuitive and approachable. On-screen editing lets you adjust placement and layout with ease, and 250 built-in designs — including 40 exclusive Anna Maria Horner designs — mean you can start stitching right out of the box without additional software.
With 1,000 stitches per minute (sewing) and 800 stitches per minute (embroidery), the S9 has the speed to keep projects moving while still feeling controlled. Features like automatic presser foot lift, needle up/down, thread cutter, and locking stitch keep your workflow smooth and efficient.
We recommend the Janome Skyline S9 for anyone looking for one machine that truly handles both sewing and embroidery without taking over your space — a smart, well-rounded choice for makers who want to do it all. If you're looking for a larger, more feature-rich sewing experience, the Janome Continental M8 is the natural next step.
