Sometimes referred to as a Tailor Tacking Foot, it has a raised bar at the front which causes the thread to stand away from the fabric.
 
Use a simple zigzag to create beautiful surface texture, custom trims, fringed flowers and appliques.
 
Will fit any Janome machine with a short shank.
 
In dressmaking, sew tailor tacks on marks, pull fabric apart slightly and cut threads.
