Review on ๐Ÿชก Enhance Your Quilting Experience with the Janome Convertible Free Motion Quilting Foot Set for Low Shank Models by Amy Mcleod

What I wanted

Thanks to other Revain reviewers I knew this was what I was looking for. I bought it for my Janome MC6300P which I also bought from Revain a few years ago. i love this car Important to know: I bought the low shank model because my car has it. This is a floating quilting foot, not the jumping darning foot that comes with most new machines. That's good - we don't like it when there's a bouncing motion. Don't throw away the box - there are instructions inside. The bobber adjusts with a screw on top, allowing you to adjust the foot to suit the thickness of your duvet or the presence of seams. You don't have to remove your leg to do this. Great. It comes with a piece of plastic that fits over the racks, presumably for machines that don't allow the combs to be lowered. It doesn't fit my Janoma - never mind as the feeding combs can be left out - but it's quite odd how it works. It has two protrusions that look like they need to fit into small holes in the needle plate. What else you should know: There's a special blue dot bobbin holder that Janome makes for free motion quilting - it has a different bobbin tension so you don't have to fiddle with the bobbin tension of the standard red dot holder - that's good too, because if you mess up the coil voltage, you're in a world of pain. I became aware of the blue dots by accident - there is nothing in the instructions for the sewing machine that suggests their existence. Other things - Janome also makes three floating feet that snap onto your regular foot - you need to adjust the pressure so that the foot is high enough above the fabric that you can feed it manually. I have three that I bought before I knew about this fancy foot. They are made of transparent plastic - open toe, closed toe and round quilted. I haven't tried them, so I don't know if they work very well. This one is called a convertible because it includes an open, closed, and round leg. It takes a lot of practice in FMQ to get your stitches even - even with a fancy foot - but it's very easy to see what you're doing with an open toe.
