You can go to this link and determine for yourself whether it is low shank or high shank.

Hope this helps.

Did you get a manual with the machine? Check there first. If that doesn't help, contact the nearest Janome dealer in your area. They will probably have the foot you need or will be able to give you the part number.

I have never had good luck with generic feet with my Bernina. I would have bought a foot that was made by Janome. I will keep my fingers crossed. Good Luck !!

I highly recommend getting the feet made for your brand of machine. Many reports that generic does not work satisfactory. Save for those that do work. You will be glad.

It is a low shank machine, and stick with Janome or Kenmore feet for best results.
