Yes, Janome also has a H foot that's a cording foot. Kooky.
There is actually another 1/4" foot available, different from the one that came with the quilting additions. In Australia it was $30, but so much better than the supplied one. Beyond me why if they know the supplied one is a bit of a dog (even after swapping it after the recall), why they can't just change to supplying the good one instead. Can't see how production cost would differ much between the two.
