I had to do a lot of work to get it to sit flat.<br /><br />Good Luck.Crafty Maine Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628773754733034018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-59697317382774090182011-03-24T13:54:02.335+01:002011-03-24T13:54:02.335+01:00Thank you all for your feedback on my 1/4 of inch ...Thank you all for your feedback on my 1/4 of inch problem. I'm now beginning to wonder if I have the right foot on my machine because apparently I'm the only one with those marks on it (it's a husqvarna machine). All the feet I have have letters on them to identify what they are for so I will check just to be sure. I think I'll just keep on using the inner side of the foot as guide for now. :)Nicole Follow the White Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552647840902000310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-56947913110424431982011-03-23T22:45:10.114+01:002011-03-23T22:45:10.114+01:00I love your post-it quilt!

You're inspiring me to do one just like it - and that is a difficult thing to do in this 'not interested in sewing' time I'm going through!<br /><br />My 1/4 inch foot is different to that. It has a little blade looking thingy on one side that you run down the edge of your fabric -http://www.janome.com.au/sewing_accessory_1.php?aid=200-330-008&gid=1/4%20Inch%20Seam%20Foot<br /><br />The thing to do is find sone grpah paper with 1/4 inch markings - I know, not easy to do when we use the metric system for everything - then sew on the graph paper, adjusting your stitch width 9even though a straight stitch has no 'width' it moves the needle from side to side) until you are sewing on the 1/4 inch mark.<br />I tried printing out some graph paper from online once - but it wasn't accurate, so test it with your ruler first if you do that.Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684521431449553727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-47901968747204911322011-03-23T16:28:49.932+01:002011-03-23T16:28:49.932+01:00None of my machine feet have those marks, and I do...None of my machine feet have those marks, and I do as you do, I use the edge of the prong on the foot as my 1/4" guide. But I'm wondering if those red marks are zig-zag guides?Cate Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987637409440441371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-16726252376407709902011-03-23T16:27:55.662+01:002011-03-23T16:27:55.662+01:00I'm more a wonky sewer than an experienced one...I'm more a wonky sewer than an experienced one--I often use the inside of my presser foot as a guide, like you do. I find it's pretty hard to see what I'm doing, though. I haven't found a way yet to adjust my needle to the right, so that I could use the markings on my foot and machine.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332490569970987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231851009583519283.post-31039476975433975722011-03-23T14:47:15.216+01:002011-03-23T14:47:15.216+01:00Morning Nicole.

The yellow center squares do look like post it notes. : )<br /><br />My foot doesn't have those cool marks. I use the right, outside edge of my foot as a guide. On my machine I can move the needle from side to side to adjust the seam allowance.Little Bluebell (Adrianne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06805431890457344837noreply@blogger.com
