A Step By Step Guide to Ruler Work 

We think Katie Quinn, our Educator for this video, is too! And we are glad it was helpful to you.

Hello-Our Janome educator Miriam Coffey is a terrific presenter however my name is Kate Quinn and I am the Janome educator for this video. I am glad it was helpful to you. Hopefully we can share other education with you in the future. Happy Quilting!

I agree more tutorials, this was so interesting I have all these attachments that I don't know really how to use Thank you😊

Love your lesson wish was on Janome m7 but it’s must be close

Hi @debladue4481, Glad you enjoyed this one.

Glad it helped!

This allows people to see the included Janome table. Since the glider was not a typical Janome product, I wanted to be more consistent with their products. However I always use my glider for my own sewing. I love it. Tks for asking.

The Continental M7 is a high-shank machine - we have more resources on our Janome website at www.janome.com/siteassets/products/accessory-images/slides/accessory-compability-guide-updated.pdf.

I have many times! They work just great. Make sure to use Longarm style rulers.

I have an older janome hq 7700 and the ruler set from janome love them.

Hi Kelli-I was there is 2022 so that is very possible. :)

@@katequinnoffabquilts I bought the 15000 and you gifted me with Superior variegated thread! So awesome to see you!

That sounds like me. I am a Superior threads junkie! Tks for watching :)

The templates for the HQ16 should be 1/4” thick so the current Janome set would not be suitable for that machine.

Hi Raquel, I doubt that the 12000 has been improved/updated but even older machines can do rulerwork. This machine in the video has no special feature to allow me to do rulerwork. I have the straight stitch selected, the rulerfoot on, and the feed dogs down. I am pretty sure you can do that with the 12000 without any special updates or anything.

I read on the Janome data on the newsletter. It informed us that the mc horizon 12000 cannot use a free motion ruler foot cannot be used due the automatic lift up. It will break. Also involved the atomic cutter thread with a lift of feet. Please look into this information with the company.

Hi Karen. You cannot set the stitch length on the 3160. It is governed by your movement. Here is a video with more info on that for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xsg6KlFPO34.htmlsi=yU9rRMpFE5sSCsw1

Your 3160 is a low shank machine. :)

Yes, you can do ruler work on the 6700P. For this machine model, you need to purchase the ruler foot base for your included convertible foot holder and you will be all set. Please see your local authorized Janome dealer to inquire and purchase. Happy sewing!

Hi Norrine. Generally I recommend low shank templates with a low shank machine but Janome ruler feet are a little more flexible and have more clearance than the Westalee style ruler feet. My rulers here were high shank and I had no trouble moving with them on this low shank machine. Clearance at the back of the ruler foot is always what determines what thickness template that can be used. On a low shank machine with a Janome foot, a 1/4” ruler is too thick but a high shank can be used without an issue. High shank rulers are 4.5 mm thick. The Longarm rulers are 1/4” thick or 6 mm. The low shank rulers are 3mm. Hope that helps-Kate Quinn

Thank you! That helped me a lot. I want to do ruler work but I get frustrated easily. You explained a lot.

Wonderful tutorial, the stitches on this machine do not look good;,how do you make even stitches when FMQ?

How are the stitches regulated?

@@BridgeMDperhaps the lighting makes it appear that way but they actually look very good. I have other videos where you can see the stitching better with maybe a different colored thread. They are nice and even and smooth.
