Frequently Asked Questions

Which Janome machines is the Ultra Glide Foot compatible with?

This foot is designed for DB hook Janome machines including the 1600P-QC, HD9 Professional, HD9BE, and Elna EF1. It will not fit standard horizontal hook or vertical oscillating hook machines.

What materials work best with the Ultra Glide Foot?

The Ultra Glide Foot excels with sticky or difficult-to-feed materials including vinyl, genuine leather, faux leather, ultra suede, waterproof fabrics, plastic, and coated materials that tend to drag against standard metal presser feet.

Can I use this foot for regular cotton fabrics?

While the Ultra Glide Foot can be used on regular fabrics, it's specifically engineered for sticky materials. For standard cotton and woven fabrics, your machine's standard presser feet will provide better visibility and performance.

How does the non-stick resin compare to Teflon-coated feet?

The Ultra Glide Foot is molded entirely from non-stick resin rather than being coated, which means the non-stick surface won't wear off over time. This construction provides consistent gliding performance throughout the life of the foot.

Is this foot suitable for thick leather and upholstery projects?

Yes, the Ultra Glide Foot is designed for use with heavy-duty DB hook machines like the HD9 and 1600P-QC, making it well-suited for thick leather, upholstery, bag making, and other demanding projects that involve sticky or coated materials.
