I was wondering if you could use a spring needle with the thinking you wouldn't need to use a foot...
I have used one on my Pfaff just to try it out and you are not limited visually plus it worked without a foot.
They make different needles sizes to fit your machine so you might find it would work out well for you. I am not familiar with your machine but you might try and see if this would work for you if you find no other choices.
See if this link will help you determine if it would work:
