If you can find a Sew-Vac center with an old gentleman still working in it, he will find a solution to your problem. I found one who is 85+ and he set my FW so it uses all of my snao-on Janome feet. He made a part for my RED EYE out of a piece from a Pfaff. It works. Finding a silicone tube the right size for your foot and then cut so its like a rubber band and it would work. Maybe!

GREAT news - (I am back to LOVE IT!!) Janome answered my plea for help. Replacement treads ARE available. (YIPPEEEEE)

PN 140107-1 - tread for Janome Rotary Even Foot Sets, Model 3237777

I've sent an e-mail off to my favorite dealer (Sewing Machines Plus - a full 70 miles from where I live, but they are GREAT!).

I use the rotary foot on all of my machines (including the 1905 treadle!). I have purchased adaptors for all of my machines that allow me to use the snap on feet. Best thing since slided bread! This allows me to share feet on all of my low shank straight machines AND my slant shank. No need to buy pricey feet for each machine!

Oh yeah.....(doing the happy dance)....I get to use my rotary foot again.....

Linda :lol:

Don't know what "slided" bread is.... I usually buy the sliCed variety. :)

Just washed my hands and can't do a thing with 'em......

Great foot. I will have to check it out. Also, thanks for the tip about snap on feet. I can really use that tip.

Ran across this forum looking for bands for a Janome Rotary Even Foot - Yaay!! found a part No. for the Bands - the one posted was 140107-1 - Ordered it from Sewingmachinesplus.com and the part no. found at Janome is 0031407-1. Ordered 6 of these.

well that's a weird little foot. looks like the treads on Army tanks! Good luck.

that is absurdly wasteful. someone out there is selling those treads. i am trying to decide if i'm up for finding out who for you!

I am interested to know about adapters for the slant shank.

Hmm, does it have to be thread? I was thinking the small clear braid bands used in hair would work. They come in different widths and diameters.
