### 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.

### 4/5 — Update

*2021-05-14*

I am thinking of buying the HD 9 but no info about ii is on this - any updates since I purchased this app ?

### 4/5 — So far I really like this app

*2018-04-27, version 4.1*

The app is easy to understand and appears relatively comprehensive. However, I cannot find part # 202-293-004, Sliding Guide Foot 9mm. Is this not compatible with my Janome MC15000?

### 4/5 — Great app, but

*2017-11-26, version 4.0.6*

Needs updating! Many new feet have come out since last update, plus the recent quilt kit upgrade available to those of us with older 15000s. I will upgrade my review to five stars when this app is updated.

### 4/5 — Not All Inclusive

*2016-09-24*

Some specialty feet are missing: bias binding foot, two cording foot sizes (5 & 7 hole), cover hem foot, belt loop foot, 4 fence quilt binding foot, flower foot, etc. It needs to include serger feet because they can also be used with a sewing machine. It does contain very good information and videos for how to use each foot. My Brother SQ9050 uses Janome snap on and screw on feet, so the app isn't exclusive to Janome machines.

### 4/5 — Footbook

*2015-10-04*

Very disappointing, I thought it would have all Janome machines but the choice is limited. If your machine is an older type ie: more than eight years or so, it is not listed. There are different types of top loading machines that have snap on feet which fit some machines and not others. For the price it's extremely disappointing do not 
 waste your money.

### 4/5 — Very beneficial - great resource

*2014-09-30, version 3.1.2*

Even When I owned only 1 Janome machine I found this app to be such a great help. "Sewing machines" are so advanced now and although it's great to have so many choices in feet it can also be daunting to figure out. This app helps you choose the right foot for the job. 
Now that I've added the 15000 to my sewing room I find this app even more beneficial. I thought the 6600 had awesome features but using the 15000 is like sitting in the cockpit of a jet.... The foot book is one great resource to help in deciding which foot will help you do your best work. I love it!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-08-23*

This app is a terrific resource.  Well designed & easy to navigate, with great info in both text and video formats.  I just bought my first Janome machine, and this app is a wonderful companion resource.

### 5/5 — Helpful to Janome owners!

*2014-07-27*

I just discovered this app and can't wait to use it! I have purchased many extra feet for my Janome and think this app will be so helpful to have by my sewing machine for a quick tutorial! I like the feature that allows me to tag which feet I have, or put on a wish list.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-08-31*

This app enables me to check which feet I already have and how to use them.  I can also keep a wish list (very useful when at shows or visits to dealers).  I can also search by sewing task and get a recommendation as to which foot will be most suitable.

Updated when new feet become available.

A well designed app meeting my needs and I have found it well worth the money - it has saved me from buying duplicate feet!

### 5/5 — Great little app! Great videos!

*2013-08-09*

FootBook is a fantastic little app with videos of Janome sewing machine feet. You see them in action. Very well done! I'm glad to have it on my iPad mini and my iPhone! It's one of my favorite apps!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Not for all Janome Top Loading

*2016-12-17*

I bought this to learn how to use the feet that came with my Janome 525S Sewist machine and it does not have the feet for my machine. I finally found on the Janome web site that mine is a 5mm machine and the app is only for 7mm or 9mm. I am very frustrated with the whole thing. I would like my money back but the website for the developer goes to a "site not available"

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2016-06-08*

So very disappointed. I was excited at the thought of this app only to find it did not work. I have high speed wireless internet and with this app the videos just sit there with the "loading" sphere spinning :( not happy at all :(

### 2/5 — Not all machines included

*2017-08-20*

I have a Skyline S9 and it is not listed. There are newer machines but not this one.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Where is my machine?

*2019-04-03*

I have bought 3 Janomes in the last 3 and a half years, but only one is included in this app.

### 3/5 — Foot book app

*2013-04-26, version 2.3*

The feet do not apply to my machine - but the general info could be useful.

### 4/5 — Continental M17

*2025-01-24*

Will you be adding this machine to your list?

### 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.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2024-01-05*

This has been such a great resource. Would love to see it 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

### 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.

### 5/5 — Good reference

*2022-06-03*

The Janome 9450 included many 9mm presser feet. This app provides a decent user summary for using the feet. Better yet is the attached video.
Good job to the developers.

### 5/5 — Fantastic resource

*2019-09-03*

I love this app.  I’ve had it for years and regularly use it when sewing. I can’t rate it high enough. It helps me remember which sewing feet do which job.

### 5/5 — A must have app!

*2019-08-19*

This is an app I use again and again. Not only does it have simple and helpful videos for each foot, it is printable and gives you the correct serial number to order for your category machine. It also allows you to pick your machine(s) and shows you which feet came with the machine, which you have purchased (you need to tell it when you have) and allows you to mark those feet you would like.  Many of my Janome sewing friends have purchased it. We all agree - money well spent! 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Good little app

*2018-03-26*

Works well and a great reference

### 5/5 — FootBook

*2016-07-01*

Excellent reference.   This app not only provides a way to catalog the feet you have for your Janome, it also has videos and complete easy to follow directions on how to use all your accessory.  Jim & Diane are Janome experts & this app definitely is worth the money!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2014-12-12*

Very useful application. Application très utile. Les vidéos aident à bien comprendre l'utilisation des différents pieds de la machine à coudre.
