I love mine. The little guide pushes the fabric back so the ditch is exposed. I do find I have to trust it to do it's thing - I need to watch the guilde, not the needle. If I start watching the needle, I slip out of the ditch.
I just went around the first border on a quilt with really thick batting and there's not a missed stitch or any tucks on the back. It's a Prayers and Squares quilt so it will be tied. I just wanted to hold it together. |
I bought the STID foot for the Janome 7700. I haven't had the need to use it YET. The day I bought the machine the salesman showed it to me and I said not right now. Well...a few weeks later when I went to my instruction class I decided I would buy it. The project that I am working on now is Sun Bonnet Sue...the month of June wallhanging. I will be doing machine applique for the first time...except the test piece I did in the instruction class. The wallhanging has a narrow and then a wide border so when I get to quilting those I will be using the STID foot. I'm anxious to try it now that I hear how great it works.

I bought a Janome STID foot, and I was sure that I was really going to love it. I do like how it works with the guide, but I find I really need the walking foot to quilt smoothly. Do they make a STID walking foot for Janome?

Same here. I was not as accurate with the sitd foot, so I use the serpentine or similar stitch to sitd.

I have one of these feet, but I don't use it anymore because I'm too much of a perfectionist for SITD. What I am doing instead now is using a "serptentine" stitch, which is basically a wavy stitch to left and right. It goes right over the seam allowance but I no longer have to worry about deviations from the seam (they basically don't show up) plus I can sew faster this way.

On my old machine (non-accufeed) I just used the regular SITD, and quilted without any problems, without the walking foot. However, this was just for smaller items, eg. table runners, mug rugs, wall hangings. I don't believe there is a SITD for a regular walking foot attachment. |
Just curious, since I can find no specific SITD walking foot for my Baby Lock, but are the Bernina or Janome SITD walking foot something that can be used on other brands of sewing machines?

I use a walking foot for SID and never had a problem. Sewing slowly seems to help keep my stitching straight.

Personally I like my walking foot better than the SID foot. I'll try the Serpentine stitch. Sounds good.

Thanks QuiltE - I will do that! I've been meaning to take that drive for awhile anyway.
