Your machine manual should show you available feet you can purchase for quilting the (2) most important feet to have are a walking foot and a darning foot. The darning foot ( also called a hopping foot or free motion foot) is the one for free motion quilting. The walking foot is for straight line quilting ( gentle curves) it literally walks along - many people use their walking foot for applying binding too- it is made to stitch the 3 layers together- handles the bulk.

for piecing many people find a 1/4” foot helpful, but it is not required.

you should be able to look up walking foot and darning/ hopping foot to see them and locate ones for your machine. If you plan to start with straight line quilting the walking foot is the one you need first.
