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.
I have opened 2 diff feet like she demonstrates...worked great. The foot you bought w /open toe-- thats noisy & clacking?? Might be it is too high above your quilt...can you adjust it down so it barely skims the fabric?
