I bought this foot for my Janome Harmony 8080. It fits fine and the needle goes through the center of the hole. This is great, because the Singer brand foot I purchased (and returned) did not have the hole in the correct place.
Here is the problem: The edge guide is a flimsy piece of metal that does not lie flush with the foot. It is off by approximately 1/16". When sewing a complicated block, the problem compounds and the sub-units are not the same size. I have gotten around this by ignoring the edge guide (which I may remove completely) and using the edge of the foot itself as my 1/4" which is decently accurate although its not a scant 1/4". The edge guide also bends easily, making it practically useless.
Over all, 3 out of 5 stars, mostly because the other 1/4" feet that I have tried did not work with my machine. The design of the Harmony 8080 s flawed in that the snap on feet sit 1/8" to the left due to the shaft design, making it impossible to use generic presser feet.
