Janome Feet

The Automatic or Sliding Buttonhole Foot is used on machines with an automatic buttonhole feature. If your machine doesnt’ have this feature or if you are sewing buttonholes on tight areas such as cuffs and other areas where more freedom of movement is required then use the Transparent Buttonhole Foot.

This presser foot is shorter than most for easier maneuvering around curves and corners when sewing applique pieces. Made of clear plastic for easier viewing as you sew.

Blind hemming can sometimes be a little bit tricky so the blind hem foot goes some way to helping improve this technique. The foot has a metal guide in the center and three grooves on the underside. During blind hemming, the fold of the fabric fits snugly in the foot for accuracy wile the groove underneath help to prevent unnecessary slipping. The needle swings over the metal guide creating slack in the upper tension so that the pick of the stitch is almost invisible.

With the rolled hem facility on your machine you can make great use of the cording foot. This foot is ideal for bridal and evening wear and allows you to insert fine fishing line while rolling the edge of your material giving you a beautiful firm but flexible finish.

This foot is for creating soft gathers in lightweight fabrics. The underside of the foot is raised behind the needle and has a thick bar in front of the needle to gather and attach a ruffle onto a flat piece of fabric simultaneously. Use a ruffler to obtain a more dramatic gather.

The pintucking foot is used with a 2mm twin needle to create multiple rows of pintucks. The grooves on the underside of the foot make it easy to stitch several rows parallel and evenly spaced from each other

The straight stitch foot is often used on very fine or very heavy fabrics. This particular foot is flat on the underside to provide an even pressure against the feed dogs and it has a rounded needle hole which offers the benefit of more support around the needle to prevent skipped stitches and puckering.

The Janome tricot foot is designed for even feeding of very lightweight and silken fabrics such as tricot.

The Janome zigzag feet are used for most utility sewing, from straight stitching to zig-zag.
