Seeking 1/4" Foot Advice

Cleveland,GA/Atlanta, GA(Zone 7b)

My Elna Funstyler has no 1/4" foot and the needle does not adjust far enough to the right. I can't find one online because most Elnas are sold in Europe (metric). Elna U.S.A. parts are often interchangeable with Janome since they are made in the same factory but I think Janomes come with the foot. Plus, it seems most Janomes use a high shank foot. That is available on Amazon and elsewhere. The 1/4" foot I'm seeking is a low shank, snap on. Distinctive has one but there is review criticism by many that it is a full, and not scant 1/4". The Janome foot is well regarded.

If your machine did not come with a 1/4" foot what brand are you using? Has anyone else run into the problem of low shank vs. high shank compatibility? I'm looking for a foot with a guide. I've called two Elna/Janome dealers and, can you believe, they can't even tell me if what they have would be compatible with my machine? Very frustrated because it's a great machine but not very useful if I can't piece with it. Spent way too much time trying to figure this out.
