Janome quarter inch foot
 

I watched some Donna Jordan video's and like the way she uses a quarter inch foot that does not have the flange to the side. Does anyone know if Janome makes one similar to hers for a low shank machine? I've checked the web site, but may have overlooked it. Wanting one to fit a MC6500....low shank.

Hmmm, I keep finding ones with the side guide. I use another foot I have also but not sure of it's name. it has silver toes on each side with clear plastic inside each one and i use where the clear plastic meets the metal as the "guide". works well enough. Still like the one with the quarter inch guide bar.

I think if you got Straight Stitch Foot | Part Number: 200331009 that it may be very close to a quarter inch on either side. It looks like one of that part number has a second hole with out an opening which I don't understand - here are some for low shank machines without the guide.

I hated that flange so took the pliers to it and broke flange off, works fine also used the 1/4 inch foot from my old brother machine on my Janome.

I like the flange or bar or whatever it is on my Elna's 1/4" foot (may be similar to Janome"s). If I want a "scanter" seam, I just make sure the fabric doesn't go all the way to the flange.

I have one that came with my Brother machine. If you have a snap on foot it will work

I bought two of the flange 1/4 inch feet and just broke the flange off one of them. This was advised by my Janome dealer. Works so much better when sewing HST's .

I find it easier, and for me more accurate to set the needle with the regular foot and use the edge to get my quarter inch. The flange tends to move a bit, just enough to mess up the seam.

I like to use Janome's clear view 1/4" foot. It's got red markings for 1/4" and 1/8" plus two edge guides (that you don't have to use), one for 1/4" and one for SITD.

Hers is a straight stitch machine with narrow feed dogs. Just take this into consideration if your feed dogs are wide.

Me three.
Although now I use the clear open toe foot for better visibility, and use the 8.6 needle setting for 1/4".

Janome 1/4 inch Seam Foot O Without Guide 202313104 I finally found one from Pocono Sew and Vac that snaps on and wasn't terrible expensive. Thought about breaking off the flange on the one I have, but as soon as I do that I may need it for something (??).
Also ordered a screw for my needle plate, as one I have now isn't the proper one and some Janome bobbins. I'll let you know how this one does when it arrives.

Isn't the one you ordered for a 9mm stitch width machine? Isn't the MC6500 a 7mm stitch width machine?

yes, it must fit your machine.... they are different , so check please before purchasing.

I have a Janome 8200 QC and it is a 9mm stitch machine and the foot listed above would not work.

Good catch - if you click on "all machines this will work with", the MC6500 does not show up. Only the 9mm machines do.

Be sure to check with dealer on fit for your machine. Most of the foot listings are for 9mm Janomes.
