Ladies, you all are so wonderful. I haven't ever met a more loving and helpful group. I just wanted to let you know that I finally found out what I was doing wrong when I could not get my Janome to zigzag when using my walking foot. Turns out a couple of years ago, I ordered a walking foot to fit my Janome with a 1/4 inch guide on it. When I received it,it measured 1/3 inch instead. So I never did used it. That was the foot I had on the machine. It would not zigzag with it either. I put the walking foot on that came with the machine. It worked perfectly after I had lost my mind. Thank you all greatly for assisting me with this problem.
