Thanks Rob for the info. I tried your way an it works great. The Janome feet fit but some don't cover both feed dog teeth. The 1/4" marking on the machine bed is puzzling. I had trouble with the bobbin thread not getting picked up but it cleared up. I have no idea what I did or didn't do. Seems like a lot of extra when all I wanted was a small machine that had the auto thread cutter. Hard to find under $400.
