I don't know about the foot you need but I understand your anger when the Janome dealer tried to sell you a machine. When I wanted to buy my first one the woman kept trying to sell me a bigger one. I just wanted the Platanum so I could use it for classes. I finally got mad and and walked out. I went back a few weeks later and got another salesperson and she wasn't pushy. I finally got the machine I wanted. But now years later I hate to go in there incase that other woman is there. I did go in and check out the Harizon and of course the pushy one waited on me. But I didn't let her get the best of me. I got my info and got out lol unfortunatlely I couldn't afford or need the new machine but I did find one more in my price range that I am thinking about.
