Problem has been solved. Yes, I had the right Clear View 1/4" foot. The problem was the needle plate. You see, I bought the floor model 8900 (grey faceplate) from my dealer. Instead of changing everything out, she just swapped out the box from 8900 Special Edition (blue faceplate). There have been a couple of updates including a different single stitch needle plate.
Went back to the dealer this morning and swapped out the needle plate. Put it in my machine and started sewing right away.
Very happy to say that my machine is working like a dream and I completed 18 one block wonder blocks today.
One happy camper!
Thank you everyone.

I just got mine back from service...and it still says it esp. with the single hole plate.
Thanks!

I do think I'll get another single hole needle plate.

I have changed to the straight stitch needle plate, checked by turning the hand wheel that the needle goes straight down the hole, but my machine will not work with the this foot/plate combination. I keep getting the "machine is started without the needle plate" symbol on the screen.
Help!
At this rate, I'm going to have to use the O foot with the guide. I'm losing time quickly to get two quilts done by Christmas.
