as to the non-AF/DF quarter-inch feet, look online for the O2 foot.
you can barely see the physical difference between the O and the O2, but they don't perform equally.
the O2 handles bulky seams much more easily than does the O.
the O2 also has the guide and can be found online for under $15US.

I might try the O2 foot. I really liked my clear foot on the Pfaff, but maybe I just won't be able to find a clear foot solution on the Janome.
Maybe the bottom line is to accept my Janome with its flaws or go back to my Pfaff.

I noticed there's a little gap in the front (if that's what you mean) but
I can still piece accurately. I do starch my fabric heavily so maybe this helps.
Or it just correct itself when the fabric goes through.

Teresa - one small correction. I have the 7700 not the 6700, but that doesn't make any difference to my comment. I bought the Pfaff Ambition Essential. Have had no problems with my quarter inch seam since I started using it.

So it's probably just like yours...but it works fine for piecing.
Make sure the screws are tight.

The Pfaff has IDT and a better quarter inch foot. That's the difference. The problem with the Pfaff is that the Janome has some modern conveniences that the 20 year old Pfaff lacks. So, I want a hybrid ;-), I guess.
