Your buttonholer should be just fine. It is a newer model than your machine but the buttonholers in the rosy pink cases are for slant machines. The buttonholer in the rectangular maroon case is also made for your machine and would match the age of your machine. Both buttonholers work the same way and make perfect buttonholes every time. I like them much better than the built in buttonholer on my Janome 6500 which won't handle large or thick buttons.
