Frequently Asked Questions

Which Janome machines is this zipper foot compatible with?

This adjustable zipper foot is designed specifically for the Janome 1600P-QC, HD9 Professional, and HD9BE models. It will not fit other Janome machine models due to the unique shank design of these heavy-duty machines.

Can this foot be used for invisible zippers?

Yes, this adjustable zipper foot works well for invisible zippers, centered zippers, lapped zippers, and exposed zippers. For specialized invisible zipper installation, Janome also offers a dedicated invisible zipper foot, but this adjustable foot can handle most zipper applications with excellent results.

How do I adjust the position of the foot?

The foot features a thumb screw that you loosen to slide the foot to the left or right of the needle. Once positioned where you need it, tighten the thumb screw to lock the foot in place. This allows you to sew on either side of zipper teeth or closely alongside piping and cording.

What's the difference between this and a regular zipper foot?

Unlike a standard zipper foot that snaps on one side or the other, this adjustable zipper foot allows infinite positioning anywhere along the shank using the thumb screw adjustment. This gives you more precision and versatility, especially when working with different zipper tape widths or piping thicknesses.

Is this foot suitable for beginners?

Yes, this foot actually makes zipper installation easier for beginners because you can position it exactly where you need it for optimal visibility and stitch placement. The thumb screw adjustment is simple to use, and the narrow profile helps you see your stitching line clearly as you sew.
