Janome AcuFeed Foot Options

[@annemarierisquez-tomasyan4085]

Good and clear explanations. Helpful coverage of the available feet for the AccuFeed system. I love my MC9450 sewing machine.

[@janometracy9053]

Thank you Anne! We're glad this helped you better understand our AccuFeed foot options. Happy Sewing!

Thank you so much for this video! I have been struggling with trying to figure out how to add the ditch quilting foot to the acufeed foot and have been unable to locate instructions. This video was perfect!

Hello Daphne! We are so very happy to have been able to help you learn how to use this feature on your machine!

[@cazfromoz1]

Perfect explanation. I didn't know the Accufeed foot has several more attachments for various types of sewing. Well done. I'd love to learn much more about my new Janome 6700P machine. Thanks!

[@deannas1515]

Do we use the zigzag stitch plate for all of the acufeed feet?

[@JanomeJAI]

You can, but you could also use the Straight Stitch needle plate just as you would for the same stitches without AcuFeed feet. For example, a regular straight stitch can use the SS needle plate and AcuFeed foot.

[@adamantine-forevermore]

Seems as though you missed an opportunity to provide part numbers for these feet.

Hello 👋 Is this Acufeed Foot suitable for Janome sewing machine memory Craft 8000?

[@YarnKilla54]

Is there a reason why the accufeed presser foot kit will not fit on a Janome skyline s3 7 mm high shank?

[@JanomeJAI]

Susan, the Skyline S7 is a 9mm, high-shank machine equipped with the AcuFeed system. To make sure you are attaching the foot correctly and have the right part, please see your local Janome dealer for evaluation. Thank you for watching, and happy sewing!

[@MontageKingPro]

How does this differ from the AcuFeed on my MC6600?

[@milliecorcoran4663]

I have an "OD" an "SD" and an "AD" Acufeed foot. Also, an HP2 foot. I'm confused as to what each are used for and when I can substitute these feet when machine asks for non Acufeed feet. Manual not very intuitive. Thanks for your assistance.

[@JanomeJAI]

Millie, what machine model do you own? in the Standard Accessories listing in your instruction manual, each foot is listed along with the one or two letter code along with the longer name. the OD foot has a 1/4 guide and is for quilt piecing, the SD foot is the ditch quilting foot, and the AD foot is the basic foot (compares to your zigzag foot ). The Dual Feed feet are meant to be used whenever you have layers, or something slipperly like a thin fabric to sew. The HP feet are there to give you a perfect 1/4 piecing.

[@milliecorcoran4663]

@@JanomeJAI thank you.

[@YarnKilla54]

Which is the best option for doing a rag quilt meaning just three layers. Cotton quilting fabric first layer, cotton batting second layer and flannel third layer.... Noticed a little shifting not much very slight but a little shifting... At times the flannel shifted from lining up with the cotton quilting fabric

[@JanomeJAI]

Susan with multiple layers, we would definitely recommend a walking or AcuFeed foot. Probably just the standard foot will work, unless you need a 1/4 guide.

[@YarnKilla54]

@@JanomeJAI I have since bought the standard open toe walking foot before your post. Really wanted the accufeed but it won't fit my machine I have a Janome skyline S3.

[@YarnKilla54]

@@JanomeJAI you mentioned either one when I was at the quilt shop she had your manual for parts and in the book it said that the accufeed would not fit my machine? Is that true because I really would like that one I can use different feet with it that I would use more often than just the standard walking foot

[@JanomeJAI]

Love the video but just wondering what the acufeed foot attachment is called with the single hole. Is it OVD? I tried to zoom in but could see the letters. Thank you. I am trying to find the best foot for a scant 1/4”. I have a 9450 and love the HP foot but this gives a perfect 1/4” rather than a scant 1/4” which I need for a quilt with lots and lots seams!! Thanks again.

How do I set up my 6700p to use my acufeed flex professional grade foot HP2?

[@JanomeJAI]

Barbara, thank you for your question. As it can be difficult to troubleshoot machine issues through social media, we can refer you to pages 16, 41-42 of your instruction manual. If these instructions are not helpful, please consult with your local authorized Janome dealer for an in-person demonstration. Thank you and happy sewing!

[@woodcat7952]

In the manual it says to push the dual feed key, which greys out most stitches, including all zigzags. I noticed you were doing a zigzag stitch at one point, so I’m confused. Can you use the the dual feed device (which appears to be the acufeed device) with all its features such as the balancing dial, without using the dual feed key?

[@JanomeJAI]

Great question! To get the best straight stitch sewing with the AcuFeed foot we recommend pressing the Dual Feed Key. However, other stitches like a basic applique, zig zag, serpentine, and others, can also be utilized with the AcuFeed foot in place. We do suggest using caution when selecting decorative stitches that require a lot of back and forth movement under the needle as these don't receive any value by using the AcuFeed foot over the appropriate applique or decorative stitch foot

[@kathrynpatton2095]

@Janice Ebel Cook yes I thought I would be able to utilize the various decorative stitches also especially for quilting. I guess it might work if u go slow

[@erikacook939]

Is this compatible with the 4120QDC?

Which foot for binding??

[@deannas1515]

I want to use the wide acufeed foot OD. I don't know which stitch I'm supposed to use. It never shows the OD foot. Do I just use stitches that show the O foot? I'd prefer that it tell me which stitches are available per foot, rather than guessing a stitch and having it tell me which foot to use.

[@JanomeJAI]

DeAnna, the OD foot is a foot with a 1/4" guide, which is typically used for piecing fabric. This video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXbbZqB7aNCqeJY is an overview of Janome's 1/4 feet, the AcuFeed OD foot is featured at the end of the video. When you use the AcuFeed system with your machine, you do need to make sure to engage the system - please see your individual machine's instruction manual for how to do this on your model.

[@deannas1515]

@@JanomeJAI I have the 6700, What does it mean to engage it? Just install the foot making sure it's plugged into the back of the machine?

[@regenacarlevaro6797]

@@deannas1515 , yes that is the main point, making sure that it is plugged into the mechanism at the back of the foot. However, if you wish to have more control on how the AcuFeed foot feeds, you also want to make sure the Dual Feed button on your screen is turned on. Although only straight stitches will be available, this will allow you to change the rate of movement on the upper AcuFeed foot using the dial on the far right side of the machine. What this means for you, is if you are sewing satin to velvet, you can make sure that both types of difficult fabrics are feeding beautifully together. Hope this helps!
