I do have some feet, the store is a little bit away and don't get that idrection much. I guess I can get my book out again and try to decifer that. I have been sewing a long time and I guess I thought I could just plow on ahead...........

I was thinking the same thing, but I'm not sure.

I own a Janome and bought my feet from the Janome dealer. Guess I just wanted to be safe even if I paid a little more.

I have a Janome DC2010 and love it. I bought the darning foot at the Janome store. Not touching the fabric is correct.

Everyone is in agreement. The darning or quilting foot should no touch the fabric. As for the other feet make sure and check if it's a long or short shank and buy accordingly.

I've always used a darning foot -- and it does just skim the fabric. It keeps the fabric down so that it does not pop up with the needle. I now have a Pfaff and one of the accessories I bought was a book on the feet. It shows all the feet, what they do and how to use them. It has the stitch length, tension info, positioning. I have feet that I use infrequently but love. This way I always know what I'm doing...or at least LOOK like I know what I am doing!

please let us know how you are coming along

Thank you everyone, for all your help. I think maybe I better plan a trip to the BIG city and just get something official from the Janome Dealer. I just love this site, I have learned so much. I may never be a great guilter, but I sure am having fun.

Try quilting with the darning foot you have before buying anything else. I think if this fits your machine, it may the right foot. I loosen the tension on the presser foot when doing free motion quilting so the darning foot doesn't apply pressure to the foot. I would try it first.

Hi all you wonderful and helpful Quilters, I tried this foot I bought on line again as suggested and duh, it really does work, I just needed to sew with it, not just put in on and look at it. So one step closer to free motion quilting, now lots of ;practice.Thank you all so much. nancy
