A.S.R.®

Finally, Janome A.S.R.® is available on SKYLINE 8.

The A.S.R.® comes with the special “Moonlight Titanium” case (sold separately) includes four feet: closed-toe, open toe, clear view, and the exclusive ruler work foot so that all of your free-motion needs are covered. We reduced the number of steps required to start sewing on the SKYLINE 8, making setup faster and more efficient. In addition, we added the passive mode: the needle stops when the fabric is not moving.
With the these benefits of being able to set the sensitivity of the sensor; you can adjust the regulation as your skills build.

Floating Mode


It adjusts the presser foot pressure and height without affecting tension.
This is especially useful when sewing delicate and tricky fabrics which tend to shift.

Clean and easy to read LCD screen

We adopted the advanced LCD screen same as our upper models: HORIZON Memory Craft 9480 QC PROFESSIONAL and HORIZON Memory Craft 9410 QC.
It is clean from any viewing angle and easy to read text font.
Enjoy the impeccable clarity and vibrancy of graphics and colors on the 5″ high definition color touchscreen, giving you a premium sewing experience.

Work Space

It has 210mm (8.2”) wide arm space to the right of the needle with a height of 120mm (4.7”), giving you plenty of space for those larger projects. The extra wide table is greatly increases your work area, providing plenty of spaces to easily manage larger projects.

Number of built-in stitches

The SKYLINE 8 has 350 built-in stitches, including buttonholes and 3 fonts.

AcuFeed Flex

Janome’s exclusive AcuFeed Flex fabric feeding system moves layers of your project together under the needle with perfect precision from both the top and bottom. This feature works great for everything from piecing to hemming to quilting and any sewing requiring precise control.

Automatic Presser Foot Lift

The presser foot lift on the machine automatically lifts the presser foot after a thread cut. This feature can be set to raise at the end of any seam, with the needle in the down position for easy pivoting.

AcuSpark2

The AcuSpark2 App provides machine learning & support. Simply scan the QR code on the screen of your machine with the app to see information about the stitch, recommended presser feet, adjustment tips, and more.
Superior Needle Threader 2

It’s a one finger operation, directly push down the needle threader knob until it stops, then slowly raise the threader knob; the thread is pulled through the eye of the needle.

Professional Grade foot HP

Accurate stitches and perfect starts on any type of fabric are easy to achieve. This straight stitch plate works great in conjunction with the HP foot for curves and precise topstitching. (sold separately)

Ruler Work Mode

Expand your quilting options and take advantage of the wide array of precision templates on the market for ruler-guided quilting. Engage the Ruler Work foot to safely follow along the guiding edge of precision cut templates. Achieve beautiful and consistent quilting results previously only available to longarm quilters.

Mirage Stitch


Use mirage stitches to add an interesting design element to your project. These unique stitches offer a satin look in a variety of shapes with spaces between each motif, making the stitches appear to float on the fabric! Janome mirage stitches are infinitely customizable with separate tension and stitch length settings for both the hidden connecting jump stitches and the main satin stitch. This effect can be used on either one or two pieces of fabric.

One-touch Needle Plate Conversion

The one step plate converter allows for no screws or tools. Simply push the lever to release the plate and snap a new one in place.

Bright LED lamps

Extensive 6 LEDs light allows for shadow-free work areas, and greater needle illumination for all your finely sewn details.

AcuSpark2 is an app that explains how to use the sewing machine and provides useful tips.
