3.0 out of 5 starsWon't work for Janome or Kenmore, needs adjustments
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024
This foot won't work for Janome or Kenmore sewing machines (the machine's needle placement is such that it will hit the edge of the presser foot). The foot itself will need an adjustment, I had to drill my hole larger by holding the presser foot vertically and carefully pressing a drill bit in a downward motion until my needle space became large enough (see pictures). I then sanded the bottom/top/needle hole with a fine piece of sand paper. I used to own a Kenmore sewing machine, had a Brother for a while, and last year went back to the (Kenmore) Janome brand. That's when I discovered my Singer foot wasn't universal. I sew Barbie clothes and can really only use this foot for very precise work like darts or stitching in the ditch. Or something like pocket detailing, when I need to get very close to an edge. Otherwise, my go to for all 1/4 inch seams is my Janome Clear View Quilting Foot. Because boy does this Singer Foot walk and skip stitches, if you are using it with a Janome machine. Janome machines like Janome feet, they simply sew best with them. However, I can't live without this Singer Foot, but it's a constant back and forth of flipping presser feet on and off my machine and changing the settings. Also, use a 2.0, 2.0 setting or your needle will hit the foot and break. I own a Janome 4120QDC now.
