Key Features

AcuFeed Flex

Janome’s AcuFeed™ Flex Layered Fabric Feeding System has long been legendary in the sewing and quilting world for its amazing precision and power. The AcuFeed™ Flex system is removable – when not in use, simply store it in one of the ample accessory trays. Adding and removing optional feet is easy! AcuFeed™ Flex comes in two useful options. The standard two-pronged AcuFeed™ feet advance fabric flawlessly from the top and bottom. Use this system for quilting, seaming, and traditional sewing. Our optional one pronged AcuFeed™ feet give precise control for more detailed work, like installing zippers and matching seams.
