Skyline S7 Anniversary Edition
What is this sewing machine all about?
This machine is local to Bemidji, MN and features many expected and powerful capabilities such as thread cutter, needle threader, automatic tensions, automatic presser foot, auto-pivot, LCD touch screen, 350 stitches, 10 alphabets in stitches, and seam length memory for sewing identical blocks and seam lengths together!
Features
This machine auto-lifts and auto-drops the presser foot at the start/end of each seam! Also, to applique? This machine is auto-pivot! The needle stays down and presser foot auto-lifts when you stop the machine. Pivot. Push go. And the machine auto-drops the presser foot and sews! See the gif below!

Remove frustration from sewing with fabric that slips the top layer out of line with the bottom layer! The Skyline S7AE has Accu-Feed which is forward or backward driving power using an upper set of feed dogs to pull/push the fabric at the SAME RATE as the feed dogs! See the GIF below to preview what this looks like, but stop in to see an example of why people end up purchasing machines mainly because of this feature!

Touch screen is much easier than dial-to-use displays. Simply touch the displayed stitch that you want and sew!
Also, the display shows your stitch width and length grow and shrink as you adjust your settings; less need to sew example patterns to get that look on your stitch out! For example, watch a zig-zag turn into a satin stitch on the screen below.

Mending pants, sleeves, clothes and small bags are much easier and possible with free arm that’s on the Skyline S7AE. The accessory tray (included) slides out to the left and opens up the machine for free-arm use!
When you buy a Skyline S7AE from A Stitch in Time, we provide training for how to operate the machine, how to adjust tensions, thread machine, thread bobbin, sew with any foot made for your machine, and how each of the accessories are used! When you stop by our store and ask about the machines, you may get a good taste of this during demo as we show you what we know about the machine and how it operates to enable you to sew more and better!
Limit the top speed of the machine to your comfort—even when sewing with the foot control! The Skyline S7AE not only has speed control, but also the neat slow-sewing feature when you are sewing without the foot control. To use when starting, press and hold the start/stop button for as long as you want to sew slowly, then release and the machine will speed up to the speed limit that you set with the slider. To use the temporary slow-sewing when stopping, press and hold the start/stop button when you near the place of stopping and the machine slows to its slowest speed for as long as you hold that button; release the button during this mode and the machine then stops.
350 stitches with 10 fonts are all available to see and select on screen and with a card preview on the underside of the lid!

The automatic needle threader on the Skyline S7AE takes charge of your thread and authoritatively pulls that thread through the eye of the needle! This threader is not just an assistant, it is easy for even people with difficult vision problems to operate!

No screwdrivers are needed to switch needle plates on the Skyline S7AE! Push a lever, and the needle plate pops up. Slip the straight-stitch plate in and pop it back in place. The machine will automatically recognize the needle plate and limit the stitches you can use to help prevent needles breaking! See the following video!

The Skyline S7AE may be set to auto-cut your thread at the end of each seam or anytime you want by pressing the scissor button! To use the auto-cut, use a auto locking or auto backstitching stitch (or any other stitch is you use the lock stitch button in place of the reverse button in the next steps) and when you reach the end of your seam, press the reverse button once and watch the stitch finish out and automatically cut your thread!
The Skyline S7AE adjusts presser foot pressure automatically! It senses the fabric thickness and relaxes or tightens the pressure automatically, even over something as quick as a seam!
