I have a Pfaff 1222e and have purchased the high shank. The problem is that even with the high shank there is no presser foot that gives a 1/4" seam. Maybe there's a foot for that and I just don't have it.
Any advice is appreciated.

I have a Pfaff 4.0. I use the 1/4 inch foot with guide. And hold the fabric just a little to the left of the guide. In time you will learn where the perfect 1/4 inch is on your machine.
I don't have a high shank.

Presser feet can help you achieve a 1/4" seam allowance, but there are other variables...feed dogs, flatness of the machine before the fabic goes under the needle, the size of the needle, stitch length, how you hold the fabric, etc... that also affect getting a precise measurement that you may want to check as well. I find it much easier to simply mark where I need to have the fabric placed before it goes under the presser foot and use a wood kabob skewer to guide it as it goes under the foot and hold the fabric straight. People use a lot of different methods to mark where the fabric needs to be placed. I think they even make gizmos to do that too.

I think the 1222e is a high shank machine because my Juki 2010 which is high shank can use feet from my 1222e.
The adapter for the 1222e allows one to use the Pfaff snap on feet like the 1/4" foot which came on later Pfaff models.
