I paid about $40.00 for mine, but it is worth it. I would contact Brother customer service about the weird crooked line, it shouldn't happen and they may have a fix for it.
Thanks Pat, I think I will call Brother and see what the deal is. My machine is under warranty, and I can return it until the end of December, but I really would like to use it. Now, tell me what to enter in the search engine on ebay for that foot. I tried to use my Janome foot, but it wouldn't fit. I'll try anything at this point!! Thanks!
