It's worth every penny. Thanks for all your inspiration!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853049387119511185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-64708354127261107382013-01-31T02:53:17.468-05:002013-01-31T02:53:17.468-05:00I may try the needle to thr right suggestion.

I hope I'll remember to change the setting every time I sew. janequiltsslowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079952744650435885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25191385712587648992013-01-31T02:04:47.710-05:002013-01-31T02:04:47.710-05:00May i ask the foot number?

Yesterday I was home but I was too ill to get out of bed. I have a Pfaff so I'll have to check out the "new" 1/4 foot that Mimi describes. I would prefer to use both feed dogs but haven't found a 1/4" foot that does that accurately. I don't always remember to change the needle position every time I turn the machine on. <br /><br />And on a prior subject, I use Firefox and have 6-8 tabs open at all times. The tab on the far left (the first one) is for your Blog! I reload it with your current entry each morning and evening, and sometimes check it while at lunch at work! Thanks for the time and effort you put into a fantastic blog!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610078566703525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-83660108929493256062013-01-30T21:35:53.603-05:002013-01-30T21:35:53.603-05:00I love all these great ideas!

I found that my fabric twisted, when it was only guided by 1 feed dog, so this gives me the best result. Actually, I move the needle all the way to the right, then 4 steps left - that's a perfect 1/4" measure from the edge of my regular foot. For my machine of course. I found sticky guides very frustrating, as they kept coming off and I'd have to stop and remeasure.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537141175261483876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3361291777057402202013-01-30T18:41:12.668-05:002013-01-30T18:41:12.668-05:00Had a Pfaff for years with a 1/4 inch foot.

I ordered it when I found out about it and it is wonderful. Sure it was $30 but well spent. I have finally realized that I have so much fabric to spend my money on good tools is the way to go..... and leave a few yards at the store. So just because you had the best when you got your machine does not mean that now there might be something better for your machine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55104664875624571342013-01-30T18:24:03.066-05:002013-01-30T18:24:03.066-05:00I just cut out a notch on a piece of painters blue...I just cut out a notch on a piece of painters blue tape that I then tape to the machine and table. Works a treat, especially if you let the bottom curl up, as it won't allow the fabric to slide any further to the right, on its way to the needle!Caz@theaccidentalquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813810128284574474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61001333199587213962013-01-30T18:16:12.191-05:002013-01-30T18:16:12.191-05:00Hi Bonnie, I loved the notched ruler idea.

I have pretty good luck keeping a 1/4" seam just using my 1/4" quilting foot with the needle in the center/right position, but do have a piece of blue painter's tape extending the 1/4" line out to the front of my machine surround. Painter's tape is nice because it doesn't leave a residue on the machine and I can build up several layers if I need to work up against. I did this for my 9-year-old granddaughter and it helped a lot!

I didn't catch all of it the first time. Right now I'm using the metal guide that screws onto the machine bed that I saw on your blog a few years ago. It's working well but I wish it was longer. I have a Bernina 1230 and bought the guide from my Bernina dealer.MJinMichiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452937164315964229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-5959465095521024812013-01-30T17:38:58.813-05:002013-01-30T17:38:58.813-05:00Hi Bonnie, loving your ruler/seam guide, however, ...Hi Bonnie, loving your ruler/seam guide, however, I too am having the issue with my feed dogs. I have a Bernina 440 and when I put a sticky guide on my bed of the machine it interferes with the feed dogs. I like the suggestion of "notching" out a guide. May give that a try. Missed "Quilt Cam" last night and sorry I did.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188327877751545931noreply@blogger.com
