I am taking my Janome to the dealer today along with the walking foot. It was the first time I ever used it and for the last week have been struggling with it. It sews for about a foot then the needle falls out,no matter how tight I tighten it. I don't know if it something I am doing or if it is defective.
I would love to use it on the Model 66 machines as I love working on them. So far, I am not thrilled with modern machines. I would probably do all my sewing on the vintage machine is I could use the attachments.
If it shouldn't fit, does anyone sell a walking for for the Model 66's or a Model 201-2 for that matter. And what would be a good price. The one for the Janome cost $33.00.
You know I am going to have to find that out, because I have never tried a walking foot on anything. I can find out later on today.
I just got back from getting my stranded daughter a minute ago and I am waiting for the water to go away so I can tow her car home. She spent the night at one of her friends houses just down the block and since their family was up all night just like ours she decides to go get doughnuts and bring them home. Well she was caught in a flash flood and I had to walk down the block to get her. Her car was up to the windows deep in water!!!
Fortunately she was not hurt, but she decided to park it on the street instead of their driveway and when she and her friend walked out to get in the car it was under water!
Our house is up on a hill as such and a few of the folks down the street are not that lucky. I waded through water almost waist deep that is how much rain came down before the lull. A few homes have water in them but for several that have in ground swimming pools, I feel sorry for them.
So my day is going pretty good so far......:roll: :lol: :lol:
