Janome 6600
Hello everyone - I've got the Janome 6600 - and just wanted to pick a few brains on piecing! Which foot do you find works best for an accurate 1/4" seam? I like the dual feed foot generally but it is a large foot, and although it is good going over seams it is harder to judge 1/4" with it as it is bulky. Thanks - 8)Tags: None

Thanks Marge - I wonder if the foot you mention is one I have already - is it the one with the black lip on the right side? Does it have a letter or number on it? And lastly - do you engage the dual feed thing at the back? Sorry about all the questions - you can tell its a new machine to me!

There are 2 dual feed feet with black lips--the stitch-in-a-ditch foot with the black lip in the center in line with the needle, and the 1/4" foot with the black lip to the right of the needle line. I engage the dual feed lever in the back and move the needle to the right until I get the 1/4" seam I want.
I don't see any numbers or letters on the dual feed feet. But then I just had cataract surgery on one eye and don't see much of anything very clearly!

Thanks Marge - I have got both of those feet, and I didn't realise I should engage the dual feed from the back! I have used it with the acufeed foot (the wide one) - I'll have another look at my machine later! The Janome manual doesn't make it very clear which feet can be used with the dual feed thing- hope your eyesight improves soon - my father in law had the same surgery and it takes a while doesn't it?

I agree the manual doesn't help much with the dual feed system. All the wider feet need to be engaged to work properly. I was fortunate to have a really good saleslady who gave excellent instruction in what the various feet could do. That was so valuable.
There is a 1/4" foot that doesn't use the dual feed system (foot O); but it doesn't have the advantage of the dual feed, and I find that the top fabric moves some.
