Leah Day has a tutorial on her site on how to cut a closed toe foot to make it an open one. My Janome 1600p doesn't have an open toed foot either & I'm going to get an extra foot & cut it open. I think our machines are similar & my dealer said they are considered light industrial machines & I cannot get an open toed foot for it. I've seen feet online that look like they would fit too- I wonder if it is the same one you bought.
