foot woes

I looked up on the Janome site where local dealers were, one turned out to be about 10 blocks away, so I headed there and found no sign of said shop, turns out they moved a while back and whilst it's in distance, it's definitely a case of special journey required. We rang to see when they were open and whether they have the foot, they have it, but are closed the rest of the day, as they are at some trade show or other! DH also called the other shop listed and found they no longer deal in Janome, so the website was very out of date, 1 out of 3 sucess!

JoAnns doesn't have a generic foot that works either :-(.

I got a tip from a friend which enabled me to test whether a foot would make the difference, she said to drop the feed dogs and put the pressure on the pressure foot to minimum then you can move the fabric through, though not as freely, having tried that, I know I need that foot!

It's possible that with practice, the pattern that I'm wanting to do may work in the above set up, it's basically a sine wave, wave length 8 inches, amplitude 1 to 1.5 inches, so no rapid changes of direction.

I'm disappointed not to have got my hands on a foot today, DH has offered to go first thing tomorrow morning whilst I am in class.

The Kenmore feet fit just fine on the Janome. I had a Kenmore before I purchased my Janome and was surprised when I noticed not only the similarity, but the sameness of the feet and plate. Go figure.

I'm not aware of anywhere locally that sells this variety. Anyway, DH went out and got me the foot this morning and it's fab!

Kenmore is the Sears brand, I know quite a few of the older Kenmores were in fact manufactured by Janome, not sure about the newer models.
