Frequently Asked Questions

What size cord can I use with these guides?

The set includes two guides: one for cord up to 1.5mm in diameter and one for cord between 1.5mm and 2.5mm in diameter. This covers most perle cotton sizes, embroidery floss, and narrow decorative cords commonly used for pintucking.

How do these cord guides attach to my machine?

The cord guides replace your machine's clear plastic bobbin cover. They snap into the same position, providing a stable pathway for cord to feed through as you sew with a pintuck foot.

Do I need a special presser foot to use these cord guides?

Yes, these cord guides are designed to work with Janome pintuck feet (sold separately). The guides feed the cord while the pintuck foot creates the raised tucks over the cord for a professional corded pintuck effect.

Will these fit my Janome machine?

These cord guides are compatible with Janome models that feature a top-load bobbin system with a removable clear bobbin cover. Check the compatibility list to confirm your specific model, which includes many popular Janome computerized and mechanical machines.

Can I use these for techniques other than pintucking?

While primarily designed for corded pintucks, these guides can be used for any technique where you need to feed cord, ribbon, or narrow trim under your fabric as you sew, such as certain couching or decorative stitching applications.
