Here's an example, it's a very common foot - http://shop.sew-classic.com/Low-Shan...luxe-NN-31.htm

Okay. That's a darning foot that is open toed. I was thinking of a true open toe foot used for embroidery or applique http://shop.sew-classic.com/Snap-on-...ot-5011-24.htm

If she's using that type of foot, then just switching to a darning foot that doesn't have the opening in front should help. Either the plastic or metal kind should work fine.

This is the one I use. http://janome.com/en/accessories/sew...e-freemotion-/

If none of these options work, you could consider layering a piece of fine mesh crinoline material. (Can't recall the exact name of it right now.) in a light neutral colour and using a meander stitch over that to tack everything down.
