Janome is well known for the amount and variety of presser feet which come with most machines. Even the more basic, entry level machines often come with 5-7 presser feet. The more advanced the machine, the more presser feet included. The top-of-the-line Janome Continental M17 comes with a staggering 33 presser feet!
Knowing when and how to use all these presser feet is a common question we receive in our various LIVE presentations and on our social media platforms. A helpful resource is to watch the “A to Z with Janome” Janome HQ Instagram LIVE series on the Janome HQ You Tube channel AND check out the fabulous Janome Presser Foot Workbook!
While many people love watching videos, others prefer to read and look at detailed photos. The Janome Presser Foot Workbook is wonderful reference binder to keep near your sewing machine, no matter which model you have. For example, all Janome sewing machines come with a standard Zig Zag Foot, which is presser foot (A) no matter what the model, and the Janome Presser Foot Workbook gives you tips of how and when to use it.
The Zipper Foot is presser foot (E), and the Workbook shows you just how to used it. Though the foot itself looks a little differently between the various models, it works in the same way, so everyone can benefit from the information. There’s tips and tricks how to use the Rolled Hem Foot (D), Blind Hem Foot (G), Satin Stitch Foot (F), Automatic Buttonhole Foot (R), Button Sewing Foot (T), Overedge Foot (M) and the Janome Even Feed Foot, which is available for all Janome sewing machines. Most of these presser feet come with many machines, but are all available separately in blister packs if they were not included with your machine.
To continue the learning and the fun, there’s lots of additional specialty presser feet, attachments and accessories available to help you get even MORE from your machine, regardless of the model. Janome has several addendums to help!
