I found mine at Walmart and it was around $11 or $12. It was worth it for me because I have so much trouble getting the seam 1/4" and I have tried many different things. This works.
I have an 1/4 inch foot but still cant line it up correctly. So do you line the material up to the edge of the foot or the metal plate. maybe thats what Im doing wrong. I wish the machine just had it marked 1/4 and I would have no problems.
