Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks Mr West. I realized that your foot would work but I had already purchased Janome's adapter and ruler footOriginally Posted by BillWest
several weeks ago before I learned of Westalee. However, I have just ordered one of your rulers from Sew Steady and should receive it in a few days.
I tried using my Omnigrid ruler with trying to stitch some straight lines in a border to save time. it worked OK but it was difficult to move the ruler with when the quilt moved. I still prefer to follow a chalk line.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
It seems I could have saved some money if I had learned about Westalee's ruler foot a couple of months ago. In order to use the templates that the long armers use, I had to buy the Janome convertible FMQ foot and then the Free motion frame quilting feet set which has Janome's ruler foot (it is what is used on the Janome 1600).
Sval...if you go to the Sew Steady site you can order their foot which will fit Janome machines--just have to specify low shank or high shank. Otherwise, you have to order from someone who carries Janome like Sewing Machines Plus or Ken's and that's having to buy an adapter and a foot.
On sew steady's site, you tell them the brand and model of the machine you have, I have a Bernina and I am waiting on mine to arrive, just ordered it.
the quilting foot from a 1600 janome will adapt to other machine. It is higher then your quilting foot that comes with other janome so the rulers can ride along the edge.
