wwell. good golly miss molly!!!! I had no idea about the marking on the foot! will definitely help me with my quilt binding....!!!!! ty so much!!!!!

[@sharonw667]

I did not realize there were so many different 1/4" feet. I learned something new. Many thanks.

[@JanomeJAI]

Thank you for watching!

[@Washiela]

Me too ... I did not realise there were so many. Everyday a school day eh! 😊❤

[@susanthinnes6261]

Thank you very much. Your videos are so good! I would be a little overwhelmed with my new MC6700P without them.

[@eleanorevans1075]

I will ty the HP foot and hope for a better scant quarter inch seam.

[@JanomeJAI]

Eleanor, which machine and which presser foot are you using? On some models you can set your seam to a 1/4 inch. If you are looking for a scant 1/4, move your needle position one or two spots to the left of that 1/4. Try it out and see! On many machines you can then save it as a favorite stitch and always have the 1/4 inch or scant 1/4 inch that works for your projects. Happy sewing!

[@Cjay424]

OMG! This was fantastic!! Had no idea so thank you so much for sharing the knowledge.

[@JanomeJAI]

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you Miriam 🧡

[@cee2615]

Great info and fabulous hair :)

[@annewise1315]

Great job on your explanations! Thank you

[@judyskousen9120]

does Janome make true quarter inch foot for the M7 ? By true I mean one that guides you to a quarter inch seam without having to move the needle way off to the side so it appears all wacky.

[@stephanniemetz3610]

I really need to get the HP2 foot!

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Can you demonstrate the JAGUAR zigzag foot? It looks like it would be a good one for piecing although I have not seen any videos explaining its use.

[@carolerobinson6241]

Thank you, very easy explanation, can I ask what pattern for the cat on your shelf?

[@SewWhittle]

So which one would you recommend for piecing, the O foot or the walking foot?

[@JanomeJAI]

For piecing regular quilting cotton, the O foot is perfect. The Dual Feed feet are great when it comes to layers or slippery fabrics. Happy Sewing!

[@Buffyxox]

I did not see an answer for this question. What is the needle position for 1/4 inch on the Janome 3160? Thanks for the help.

[@JanomeJAI]

The center needle position is the correct one for the 1/4 feet on the 3160 QDC. Happy Sewing!

[@nancyjunda6198]

What is the needle position for 1/4 inch on the Janome 3160? Thank you for your videos!

[@kathy.ramey81]

It's my understanding that some of these feet are model specific. For instance, I have a Skyline S7 and I don't think the HP foot will work with it. Please let me know what you're experience is regarding that foot and model. Thanks!

[@annmcadory8626]

Love the Janome videos!

[@JanomeJAI]

Thank you so much!

Absolutely helpful! So much better than the manual, thank you 😊

You're welcome!!

Yeah… those manuals stink! I have 2 janomes and both booklets are worthless

I just got my HP2 foot and I love the entire realm with the HP plate!

[@deannas1515]

When I put on the Acufeed OD foot, how do I tell the machine which foot I'm using? It only has foot A for mode 1 and 2, and foot F for mode 3. What am I missing?

[@JanomeJAI]

Which machine are you using Deanna? Let us know and we can help!

[@deannas1515]

@@JanomeJAI I'm using the 6700. The HP foot and stitch plate are easy. Trying to use the other feet is nearly impossible. I don't know which stitch to use for straight stitch. I've had this over 4.5 years and I don't know how to tell the machine which foot to use. Can you go over all the settings, mode, stitch etc to get the 1/4" seam, and have the machine recognize that I'm using the OD or whatever. Thanks so much!

[@JanomeJAI]

@@deannas1515 There is another video we have by our National Spokesperson Kimberly Einmo that goes over settings and options for the 1/4 stitch - this should answer your questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKmcgWZ9f92AnqMsi=6s7lqULSE1JHInFG

[@dshweeks]

I am a complete newby to sewing machines and was gifted a Janome Easy To Use Blue Coutoure machine. Would the HP2 foot and OD foot work with this machine?

[@dnadoodle]

I have a janome 808A sewing machine bought in Dubai. Will a walking foot be compatible with it?

[@icreatestuff3610]

For the OV foot, what should be the needle position. I have a 6650 machine so I set it to 9.0 for 1/4'' piecing, is that too far to the right?

[@debbieroot4618]

Will the hp foot work with a 6600p?

[@JanomeJAI]

Thank you for your question, The HP Foot and Plate were introduced after the 6600P, and are not compatible with that machine. Currently this accessory is only for select 9mm width machines. To view all of the accessories available, visit the 6600P on our Website at www.janome.com/machines/sewing/mc6600p/.

[@MaryJoD]

Which presser foot is best for making a 1/8 inch topstitch along the fabric side such as making a purse strap? I have a Magnolia 7330.

[@sharonc1282]

Yes, thank you. I have a terrible time with 1/4” seams! Am hoping this HP foot may be the answer. The manual is horrible! If I had seen the manual prior to purchasing my Janome, I would not have purchased the machine. Thank you!

[@JoeMama-nt8zf]

I made my own index & put it in the back of the manual to help me find things. Janome needs to do this!

[@katheytiller3436]

Yes...the manual is the worst...omg...I love my machine, but the manual sucks!!!

[@barbarastahl3266]

Is there a zipper foot for the New Home Janome?

[@JanomeJAI]

Barbara, there were several models with New Home in the Janome line. If you could be more specific, we can help you research this information. The machine color or number would help us. Thank you.

[@barbarastahl3266]

@@JanomeJAI My Janome is all grey with a pink dial. I don't see a model number on this machine

[@JanomeJAI]

@@barbarastahl3266 That sounds like one of our 3/4 size learn to sew models, also called the Derby. Unfortunately it does not have other feet options. More information on this model can be found at www.janome.com/derby.

What is the needle setting for the 1/4” O Foot for the standard 1/4” stitch? I have the Memory Craft 6650 sewing machine.

[@terriesa9883]

Kimberly… how do you like your machine by now?

[@eleanorevans1075]

The guide allows he seam to be too wide, not 1\4 inch.

[@dawnlathrop4238]

I found the same issue on my 9450 - I move the needle all the way to the 9.0 width, that works for me, then I use that with the guide

[@carolecossette8847]

will the OV foot fit the Janome MC9850? I'm hoping to get a reply because I can't seem to be getting anywhere when it comes to my searches on anything relating to the Janome MC9850! I am truly beginning to regret buying this machine.

Hello Carole, The Janome Dealer where you purchased your machine is always a great place to start when you require assistance! If you cannot get to your local dealer, please reach out to our customer service representatives at [e-mail].

What is the "standard 1/4" needle setting?

[@trishgorman3872]

I use 3.0 on the 5060qdc model, with 1/4 inch foot … works for me anyway!

[@tubetubepleasure]

I suggested you should put the model number to each one of the foot in the video, so we can buy the model that suit to our needs, instead of going over to you websign and look through all the accessories to get to the presser feet categories and to find out the one I see here. it is a waste of time to customers who just want to have one single item.

[@sharifruechte2126]

Will the AcuFeed system work with a 9700?

[@JanomeJAI]

Hi Shari, Thank you for your inquiry. I cannot find a Janome 9700 in our database. The machines that the AcuFeed System will work with are Memory Craft 15000, Memory Craft 9400, Memory Craft 6700P, Skyline S7, and the Skyline S9.

Где в России купить Лапку HP2?

[@upriver7047]

I see exactly zero questions have been answered in the comments. I just bought a 725S during pandemic lockdown last spring and I hate the machine! Can get no help from the business I ordered from or from outside dealers. Think I'll trade it in and go with a different brand. Makes me sad. I've been a Janome user all my long life.
