I received a SITD foot with my Janome 6600 but don't use it. I tried it but feel I can keep in the ditch better by just eyeballing it. I don't understand how some of you ladies can quilt without a walking foot. Mine came in a kit with my 1/4inch foot, open toed embroidery foot plus other attachments. I tend to leave it on this machine most of the time, even when piecing.
I wouldn't buy a SITD foot. Quilting cat suggested a zipper foot and I think that would be a better option. Just MHO.

I have one for my Bernina and really get a lot of use from it. Works well.

I am very disappointed in my SITD foot. My Janome does not have a built in walker, so using the SITD foot on a quilt top leaves me without a walking foot to guide all the layers evenly. I think I have used it on one project, and never got it out again. I can do better stitching in the ditch with my walking foot and my eyeballs.

I don't have a stitch in the ditch foot for my Bernina 440QE-is one made for this machine? I use my walking foot and have had success with it.

I have a SITD foot, but I usually only use it for two things - butting together batting pieces from scraps to make larger pieces, and using it to do the blind stitching when I finish bindings by machine. For actual SITD work, I use my walking foot.

I have a Pfaff 7570 and a stitch in the ditch foot. I has a bar that will stay in the ditch and the needle stitches right behind it. I hava bernina 930 and it has a blind hem foot you can adjust to do the same thing. I use them both. I like anything that will help me do the best job.

Boy, am I behind the times. I'd never heard of a SID foot until now. Does someone have a picture of one that I can see?

I just use my walking foot. What's the difference?

Are you familiar with the 1/4" foot that has the little guard on the side? It looks somewhat like that but the 'guard' is in the center of the foot so it sticks out in front of the presser foot so it should drop right into the seam to help you guide the needle in the proper place. I find I have to move my needle to the right a bit to get it in the correct place though. I just did a Search online and Janome has a nice picture of it. I suppose some of the other machine makers have the pictures for their machines, too. I highly recommend the attachment for your walking foot though so you have that guide as well as the walking foot. It works really nicely together.

I have one & use it all the time for table runners quilts, it is a very hand foot to have if you do a lot of sewing of these items.
