In regard to the regular 1/4-inch foot, check to see whether it's an O or an O2.
new machines should be shipping with the O2, which is the slightly modified and newer version.
Janome made the modifications in response to complaints that the O didn't work and play well with bulky seam intersections.
if you only have an O, the O2 is available from many sources for less than $15.
it's worth every penny and more.
whether or not the accufeed foot turns out to be defective, i recommend you keep it (or its replacement).
i rarely use mine for piecing, but i absolutely LOVE it when the time comes to attach binding. i wonder how i ever did without it. LOL
