I can't imagine wearing out a walking foot, but by having a jam and breaking a needle, some things, like the needle bar, can get out of alignment and may need a tune-up. Not disaster, just annoying.

Jane, I can't imagine wearing out a walking foot! You must have gone miles and miles and more miles with that one to wear it out!?

Hi guys, this is the first time that I have posted here.
Just wanted to ask whether this is a common "fault" with this machine, at least in your experience.
I read this Janome 6500P review and was keen to get my hands on one (after saving for an eternity...!)
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Susan

Thanks to both of you for the advice. I have located a replacement foot at a shop that is close by. I have put a lot of miles on that foot and can't get by without one. I have a day off from work today, and it is a gloomy rainy day--perfect for the sewing room!

That happened to me (I have a Janome 5200 which does not have a built in walking foot). I had to buy a new walking foot because the old one was worn out according to the sewing centre.

I have a Janome 6600 and have found the online Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Janome6500/6600/7700 to be a wonderful resource for info about my machine....it is a large group with active participation and extensive files with answers to lots of questions. I would encourage you to check it out! Nancy

I have been having trouble with my walking foot. All of the sudden, I am breaking needles. The needle is hitting the part of the foot that should be just behind the needle. Is the problem with the foot, or could the needle be out of alignment somehow? I have had the machine for a number of years, and have never had any problems with it.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
