With this new clear view quilting foot, you can see the fabric right through it and piece along the red lines on the foot. You can attach and remove the guides as needed to suit your task at hand. Designed for maximum ease of use, you will enjoy many Janome-original ideas such as the oval hole for adjusting needle drop position with this set.

The interchangeable guides give you three feet in one!

1/4" Seam Foot

An essential foot for patchworkers for that 1/4 inch seam. The guide on the foot enables you to sew a perfect 1/4 inch seam every time.

The guide can also be used wherever a 1/4 inch seam is called for but the markings on the needle plate cannot be used, such as when completing a flat-felled seam.

Even Feed Foot

Another essential for patchworkers, used to sew through the layers of a quilt. The even feed foot, sometimes referred to as the walking foot, is designed with a set of feed dogs (teeth) which allow the fabric to feed without shifting and eliminates the problem of the under layer of fabric bunching and coming up short.

The even feed foot is also great for topstitching which can be spoilt due to irregularity of stitching. This is often caused by the bulk created with the seam allowance especially around collars and reveres. Also includes quilting guide.

Darning Foot

Once you get into patchwork and quilting you will probably want to get into stippling. And for this you need a darning foot.

The darning foot is also what you need for free motion embroidery and other creative textile work.

Sometimes referred to as the embroidery foot, the darning foot is used for 'free hand' embroidery and darning to ensure proper stitch formation, minimize skipped stitches and puckering and also protect your fingers while you move your fabric freely under the needle.

Especially beneficial to those just learning how to do free hand embroidery. The open toe version greatly improves visibility of stitches and is especially popular with quilters.

Ditch Quilting Foot

A very useful addition to the sewing room when wanting a perfectly straight "stitch in the ditch".

The guide on the foot spreads the seams allowing you to stitch perfectly in the ditch, and is also useful when adding decorative top stitching along seams.

Overedge foot

Use with an overcasting stitch to allow thread to wrap around the edge of the fabric to prevent unraveling.

The foot guides the fabric and keeps your edges flat by compensating for the lack of friction when the needle makes the right-most stitch.

Concealed zip foot

Good quality ready to wear garments will often have an invisible zip fitted. These zippers are often neglected by the home dressmaker which is a pity because they can ensure success every time.

Invisible zips are suitable for all fabrics from fine silk jersey through to suit weight wools and tweeds. The key is to get the needle as close to the fastener as possible, which this foot accomplishes by slightly unrolling the zipper just before the needle. Once fitted, a well sewn invisible zipper will merely look like part of the seam.

Hemmer foot

The hemmer foot, sometimes referred to as the rolled hemmer, is used to stitch the narrow rolled hems usually found on shirt tails, table linens and along the edge of frills.

The hemmer is designed with a scroll shaped feeder on top and a straight groove on the underside which determines the width of the finished hem.

Blind hem foot

Blind hemming can sometimes be a little bit tricky so the blind hem foot goes some way to helping improve this technique. The foot has a metal guide in the centre and three grooves on the underside.

During blind hemming, the fold of the fabric fits snugly against the guide in the foot for accuracy while the grooves underneath help to prevent unnecessary slipping. The needle swings over the metal guide creating slack in the upper tension so that the pick of the stitch is almost invisible.

The ultra glide foot is molded from a special resin allowing easier sewing of fabrics that may otherwise stick to the standard metal foot such as ultra suede, faux leather and plastic.
