NEW: LARGE BUTTON HOLE FOOT

BRAND NEW – THE LONG BUTTONHOLE FOOT FOR JANOME HORIZON MC15000

Janome announces the release of another great NEW product: THE LONG BUTTONHOLE FOOT which gives Janome Mc15000 owners the ability to sew button holes from 1 to 2 inches in length when a larger button is placed into the buttonhole foot.  The regular buttonhole foot R on our Janome models has the ability to make buttonholes up to 1 inch long for up to 1 inch wide diameter buttons.  NOW we can make longer button holes which is especially useful for coats & jackets. Note that this LONG BUTTONHOLE foot also comes with a stabilizer plate – again, this is something that is particularly useful for thicker fabrics used for coats etc as it feeds the fabric smoothly and evenly to achieve great, neat buttonholes. I have test driven this new accessory and it gets my “thumbs up”! It works well and slickly to make neat, even longer button holes on all fabrics but especially useful for thicker fabrics. Here are some examples of my test driving of this NEW accessory:

My initial test driving of the new LARGE BUTTONHOLE FOOT for making longer buttonholes. I  used heavier & thicker fabrics but did not mark the fabric seeing as I was not making a fancy cashmere coat! However, you can see that I did not always “drive” straight! But this does give some idea of what can be achieved with this new accessory for JANOME HORIZON MC15000.  Please note that I varied the settings for the buttonholes: changing stitch length to get a tighter or looser satin stitch; I also varied the size of the opening of the buttonhole as well as the width of the buttonhole stitching down both sides of the buttonholes – all this is easily and quickly done on the JANOME HORIZON MC 15000.

I am always advocating that we KEEP the cardboard package material when we buy a new JANOME FOOT. I keep saying this over & over as there is always someone who has not realized that the INSTRUCTIONS  and recommendations for using the foot or accessory are included on this cardboard. They toss it out with the packaging and then wonder why they don’t know how to use the foot?! The cardboard from the blister package actually opens out like a book so please keep it for future reference. I keep these all stored in much the same way I store design CD boxes.  Here is a quick pic of the package instructions for the LARGE BUTTONHOLE FOOT:
