Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the two feet included in this set?

The two feet feature different groove sizes on the underside to accommodate varying thicknesses of decorative materials. The foot with narrower grooves works best with fine threads and thin cording, while the foot with wider grooves handles thicker yarns, multiple thread strands, or heavier decorative cords.

What types of materials can I couch with these feet?

These feet can guide a variety of decorative materials including cording, yarn, ribbon, multiple strands of thread, metallic threads, and specialty decorative fibers. The key is matching the groove size to your material thickness for smooth feeding and secure stitching.

Do I need to drop my feed dogs to use this foot?

Yes, these are free motion feet, so you'll need to drop or cover your feed dogs and use a free motion quilting technique. This allows you to move your fabric in any direction to create curved lines, spirals, and custom decorative patterns with your couched materials.

Will this foot work with my Janome machine?

This foot set is designed for high-end Janome machines including the Continental M7 and M17, and Horizon Memory Craft models such as the 7700QCP, 8200QC, 8900QCP, 9400QCP, 9450QCP, 12000, 14000, and 15000 V2. Check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model is supported.

What kind of stitches should I use with the couching foot?

You can use a variety of stitches including straight stitch, zigzag, or decorative stitches depending on your desired effect. Zigzag stitches are popular for couching because they securely anchor the cord or yarn on both sides, while straight stitches create a more subtle attachment down the center of your material.
