Great job Michael. Very clear and informative. As a quilter the 1/4” has been a bone of contention with me. Glad you spoke about the scant and how important pressing is. Well done.
Thank you SEW much, Marilyn! I so appreciate the support and encouragement and am so glad you found this presentation helpful. That's why I love doing what I do! Thank you for sharing the Janome Love!
Michael, This was the best 1/4” video I have seen. I have viewed quite a few because that perfect 1/4” has alluded me forever. My blocks are always smaller than they should be. You covered so many options so that if you don’t have one foot you can use another. The part where you showed identical pieces sewed together but because of the way they were pressed they turned out different sizes was fascinating and eye opening. Thank you so much for all the time and effort that clearly shows in this video.
Unfortunately, no. Instagram does not let me rotate the camera. If I did, everyone would have to turn their device or their heads to the side, and no one wants that! lol! When viewed on a smartphone or iPad, the video fills the screen, but viewed on other platforms, it's tall and skinny with no way of rotating horizontally. Thank you for sharing the Janome Love!
Is there a tutorial for the Horizon 7700? I haven't used mine in several years and I can't remember how to use it. I have been looking for videos, but I can't find any. Thank you for your help.
The MC7700 has been discontinued for many years, but I found a few videos on You Tube th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=janome+MC770 Perhaps contact a Janome dealer in your area to ask if you could pay for a private lesson to help navigate the machine. Happy Sewing!
Great video explaining all the options and how to get the 1/4" seam and scant 1/4". I have been experimenting trying to be accurate with the scant 1/4" seam on my M7. Is there any chance Janome will make a foot with a guide for a scant 1/4" that can be used with the HP plate? I prefer the accu-feed, but it's harder to get the scant 1/4" eyeballing it.
Can you please tell me what needle position should I set my Janome 5300 QDC machine so I can sew with a scant quarter inch with the regular quarter inch foot. Thanks
Page 11 in your machine describes how to adjust the needle position (you have 71 positions in a 7mm machine). You could use stitch #10 in Mode 3, which is the Piecing stitch, and move the needle position over 1 or 2 positions to the right to produce a more narrow seam. If the width of the needle opening in the presser foot does not allow for that, move your fabric slightly to the left, away from the guide, which will also produce a more narrow seam allowance. You could put a strip of masking tape on the needle plate to act as a guide. Happy Sewing!
My understanding is that the M series are 9 mm (maximum stitch width). I also have a MC 6500 and I was told it is 7mm. I also was told ( haven’t tried it yet) that I can use some the feet from the MC6500 on the M8, but I have to be careful with the stitch width I set. Sorry can’t help much. I am sure if you can google it you’ll find out the best answer to your question.

Thank you for the video! It would be really easy to resolve the scant 1/4” seam if there was a foot we could buy.
Any way you could film in landscape mode please?

@@janomehqjanomecanada4908 thank you so much for the information. I really appreciate it.
I know this is an old video but I was having issues and you explain it wonderfully. Is the HP plate compatible with a 7700? Thx from Collingwood Ont.

Hi. How I know that my Janome is 9mm?
My understanding is that the M series are 9 mm (maximum stitch width). I also have a MC 6500 and I was told it is 7mm.
