JANOME Acufeed Flex 9mm Twin Holder and Standard Foot A for Category D machines


Kad

Don't believe that it will. According to the Janome Accessories Catalogue, acufeed system feet fit the Atelier 7 and Atelier 9 along with the 15000,14000,12000,9400,89008200,7700 butNOT the Atelier 5, although it is a 'catD' machine.

Thanks @Kad
I think you're right.  Its confusing but it doesn't look like the Acufeed system isn't built into the Atelier 5..... :(

The 7 has a slot that the top handle type thingmy of the foot fits into to enable it to become a dual feed foot.
I think it does away with the arm of a walking foot resting on the needle bar.

I didnt remember seeing this on the 5, but as its no longer with me cannot tell.

I often using my walking foot instead of the DF as when you engage the DF on the 7 it greys out most of the decorative stitches that I like to use to quilt with such as the Serpentine stitch... I also like the click click click of the walking foot.

I think its probably only for the 7 and 9 :(

@annieeg I still have the one from my old Janome.

If you want to try and see if it works I can pop it down to you so you can try it.
