Probably the 1/4" quilting foot. It is designed so it's easier to sew a scant 1/4" seam by aligning the fabric edge to the foot's edge, which is what you need for piecing. Of course, to get it perfectly accurate, you may need to move the needle slightly or figure out where exactly 1/4" from the needle falls on your machine (important if you will be matching points in your piecing). Measuring 1/4" from the needle and then marking with a strip of painter's tape works for some.

I have a MC4000 and a manual. To raise or drop the feed dog, remove the accessory box and feel at the back of the free arm there is a lever that will slide left or right to raise or lower the feed dog. I am not a quilter, but the manual says to use foot A (zigzag foot) and accessory L (quilter) which appears to be a guide. Cheers, Deb, Townsville, Australia

I have seen these machines with broken presser bar clamps (something inside the head). If it is just a bind then some oil on the presser bar may work, if the clamp is broken then it is probably not worth fixing.
Good luck!

Did you connect your machine then press the foot control before you lowered you presser foot? I have a CS6000 and that is what E1 means on my machine. You did not put your model number in so I don't know. You can look in your manual or go online to www.brother-usa.com and look it up for your machine. Try unplugging and plugging it in again, but put your presser foot down then step on your foot pedal.
