I got my Janome 6600 yesterday and unpacked her today. Should I purchase the open toe walking foot for piecing and quilting or do you use the dual feed foot that came with the machine? TIA

I would think the foot that comes with the machine. wish mine had one! have fun.

I have the 6600 and love it. I use the quarter inch dual feed foot for piecing and get accurate seams all the time and beautiful stitching.

I have the reg. walking foot and the 1/4" one. The benefit of the open toe is its easier to see where you're sewing if you are following a certain pattern, but this also can be accomplish with the reg. one also. Its a preference thing! :-D

I would use the one that came with the machine.

I have the Janome 6500 (the machine before yours) and mine came with the walking foot and it's really only the one I use. I do use the darning now and then but not as much.

My 6600 doesnt have a quarter inch dual feed.....My dual feed is not quarter inch...that one is a seperate foot.

Congrats on your new machine. Have fun with it.

I have a Janome 6600 and use just the 1/4" foot to get the most accuracy for piecing.

Someone asked this on a group I'm on and most people loved the open toe accufeed foot. Not so much for piecing but for quilting, especially SITD. I have it but haven't done any quilting on this machine yet.

I only use the 1/4" foot that has the flange, the main purpose for accufeed is for thick or multi layer stitching. I use accufeed for binding but I use a 3/8" seam for that.

I have the 6600... but can not seem to figure out how to get a consistent quarter inch when quilting.... Any suggestions for how to line it up... I had the walking foot with my previous, smaller janome q... something or other. No problems with it. The built in foot that comes with this machine will be really neat.... if I can figure out how to get a consistent quarter inch.
