Can Janome feet be used on a Kenmore machine?
#1
A friend of mine just purchased a Kenmore sewing machine...Does anyone know if the Janome feet, specifically an open toe foot, can be used with the Kenmore machine...She asked Kenmore people and the Janome people and no one seemed to know....It's my understanding Janome makes the Kenmore machine, so I would think they would be interchangeable.....
Thanks for any help you can give....

Check the length of the shank on the presser foot. Janome are short shank at 1 1/4". Older Kenmores were the long shank at 1 3/4". I don't know about newer ones. Stand the two presser feet side by side and you'll see if they match.
I have a several short shank machines, one slant needle and one long shank, so I'm covered. The ELna isn't as accepting of different brand feet as the other machines are. Most short shank attachments, except for a Bernina, are universal.
