Compatibility and Mount Requirements
Handi Quilter offers Glide Foot 3 for two mounting systems:
- Handi Feet Mount
- Quick Change Mount
You must select the version that matches your machine's installed foot mount. These versions should not be treated as interchangeable.
Older compatible HQ machines may require the Handi Feet Conversion Kit (QM00841) if they do not already have the required interchangeable foot mount. Confirm your machine's configuration before ordering.
Important: Do not assume that every Janome or Baby Lock longarm accepts this foot simply because the machine shares a platform or uses a related mounting system. Confirm compatibility for your exact model and mount type.
