I don't know which one you're talking about, but I have both, what they call an edge-joining foot and the foot with the quarter-inch guide on the side. Both work well. The edge-joining foot is the one I use for "real" SITD quilting, because the little edge in the middle just stays in the seam as it goes along. The one with the 1/4 inch guide is good for piecing and also for quilting a 1/4 inch from the seams.
One word of warning. Be sure and get the edge-joining foot that's made "JUST" for your machine. The one I have was supposed to work on both the machine I bought it for and the new I got several years later. It didn't and I almost wrecked my sewing machine when I tried to use it.

Do you use the sid foot without a walking foot when quilting on your quilt?

If it is a small quilt I do. If it is large quilt I use my Pfaff with the IDT foot and the SID.

I have a Pfaff and use my stitch in the ditch foot all the time. Couldn't live without it!

Could you tell me the product number from the package for this? I just bought a SITD foot for my Janome last week - maybe I could exchange it.

Thanks!

I have a SITD attachment which fits onto the walking foot of my Janome. It's great!

I assume it is the number from the attachment that you are asking about??? The Ditch Quilting Guide and Adjustable Quilting Guide is Part No. 214-518-005 (Made in Taiwan, of course.) You may decide you'd like to keep the SITD foot for small projects but this other one works really nicely for larger quilts and with batts with more loft than a table topper might have--when you really need the walking foot to keep it all together.
