I have a Janome 6500 and I have this for my machine---------- I have not tried it yet.

but if that one does not work- I think I will try this one-

Either one of these you can call and see if they will work on your machine; just be sure to ask about the return policy. I love ruffles...........

Thank you so much!!! I'm excited now, I watched the video on youtube and thats it, it just pops right on
I wonder though if that first website has the pop on kind? I will have to ask because for 50 bucks thats a steal
for all those extra feet you made my day Lisa :-)

Normanally there is also a place to unscrew the foot as well as just the pop in foot. I know on my Janome I have to use the screw part to put my walking foot on.
Good Luck!

Have fun with your ruffler and be sure to share pics when your done; can't wait to see the end results!!!
Have a great day!!!

Rosebud-

My distintive ruffler goes on the same way as my quilting foot; it is not a snap on foot- I just pulled out the directions for it and put it on my machine and it fits perfectly (it does come with step by step instructions. Hope this helps....
