FootBook is a reference for more than 100 different feet and accessories for Janome sewing machines having a stitch width of 7mm or 9mm. The app includes photos and text describing each foot and explains how to use it. Each foot or accessory also has a high resolution video demonstrating its use. If you have a Janome machine with a top-load, drop-in bobbin, 7mm or 9mm stitch width, FootBook is the reference for you. If your machine requires the bobbins to go in a case behind a door in the front of the machine, then FootBook is NOT for you. If you have a machine made by Janome, but branded as Kenmore, New Home, or Elna, and it has a top-loading bobbin, then the featured feet should work for you, especially if your machine is computerized. Note that part numbers may not be correct if your machine is not branded as Janome. ## Key features - Reference for 100+ Janome feet/accessories - Photos and text descriptions - Usage instructions - High-resolution demonstration videos - Compatibility checker ## Recent user reviews (10 of 39) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/footbook/id455553678/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2025-12-23* This has been such a great resource. Would love to see it updated with new feet that are available such as the bilevel feet. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2025-01-25* You would think once you “favorite” your sewing machine that the app would be able to identify what feet are compatible with it…. Wrong! It lists ALL feet options so unless you manually add and research compatible feet the app is useless. Save your money. ### 4/5 — Continental M17 *2025-01-24* Will you be adding this machine to your list? ### 3/5 — Not up to date *2024-03-20* The app is not up to date and is missing both some feet and machines. It should be updated to reflect new offerings. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-01-05* This has been such a great resource. Would love to see it updated! ### 3/5 — Requires updating, to reflect new machines and new presser feet *2023-07-12* The app is great and full of information, but, It is the type of app which requires updates for new machines and new presser feet. Please keep this great app updated. ### 5/5 — Love this SO helpful *2023-03-15* Thanks for this, I refer to it so often and its great to list the feet I have and the feet I'd like. The videos of the feet in action is great too. Great Reference tool ### 3/5 — Great idea, needs updating *2023-03-07* I just installed this app and noticed very quickly that the following foot is missing from the library. Bi-Level Foot 9mm | Part Number: 202461005 The part has been on the market for at least several months so it ought to have been noted by now within the app. Now I’m wondering what else is lacking. If the app developer is failing to maintain the library they should either reduce the price or make the app free and seek monetization elsewhere. ### 4/5 — CM 17 Not Yet Included *2023-02-11, version 4.2.4* This app was wonderful for both my MC 11000 and HMC 15000. Iupgraded to the CM17 last summer, and I’ve been waiting for an update that includes this new machine and new feet. ### 5/5 — Wonderful Reference *2023-01-01* This has the feet for various Janome sewing machines. You can sort by your machines if you like. It has clear explainations of how to use the dozens of feet you can buy. There is a video demonstration of how to use each one. There is also a print version you can print out. ## Frequently asked questions about FootBook ### What does the FootBook app do?
