It is a basic low shank ruffler, in fact any low shank feet will work on the
221, 15, 66. 99 etc.
Matters not the brand

'Cept for my Singer fit generic walking foot! That fits almost all my
other machines, but won't fit the FW. No worries, though: I just use
the Husqvarna one on the FW!

What is ruffler or walking foot? Can I get one for my basic Janome? It
sounds as though this could be useful to make the tiered skirt - I don't
have a serger.

A walking foot feeds the fabric from the top while the feed dog feeds
the fabric from the bottom.

A ruffler makes tiny tucks as you sew.

There should be an attachment for your machine, either from Janome or a
generic one.

They are two different things! :) The ruffler a special foot that puts
a tuck in the fabric as you sew it. You can see mine at work on the
What The Dickens project on my web site: scroll down to Day 10 (a long
way - there are LOADS of pix on this project!) and you can see it both
at work on the machine, and the effect it has. You can only use it on
light weight fabrics.

The walking or even feed foot is another big clunky one that gives you
feed dogs on top of the fabric as well as under it, and helps the fabric
layers move through without the foot squooshing the top layers out of
place. It's great for anything with pile (like velvet and polar
fleece), keeping checks lined up on suits, and other stuff: on straight
line quilting it helps to stop layer creep and tucks and distortions. :)
