    Janome 1/4" foot

    What are your opinions on this foot? I can't decide if I am comfortable with it, seems like I want to jam the edge if the fabric up against it. I have been using my regular foot and moving the needle position, but I thought I would give this one a chance, still on the fence here!

    I would prefer the needle position. I think it was easier to control. Never liked the 1/4" foot.

    I like it. I just wish the flange was some neon color instead of black so I could see better. I still have to change my needle position.

    I also use the foot and move the needle. Try putting a drop of neon nail polish on the flange.

    Have you thought of applying some of those neon nail polishes to replace the black?? Just a thought. I love my 1/4" foot that I bought a few years later (they had NOT made one yet!) for my older Bernina.

    Why not paint it with nail polish? My Aunt has macular degeneration, and to be able to see the edge of the foot, she painted it with red nail polish.

    I had a hard time seeing it to so I put some finger nail polish on it works great.

    I use the 1/4" patchwork foot PLUS I have to move the needle position. I have the O2 foot but had to with the clearview and the original O foot.
