    another way to sew a perfect seam

    This may have been shown before, but so many people ask about the 1/4" seam problem that I thought it might be helpful.

    Bonnie Hunter shows another way to sew a perfect seam. When the 1/4" seam is off just a little you might try this method.

    Interesting -- I will have to try that. I am surprised she wasn't slowed down.

    The distance BETWEEN the seams is the only one that really matters.

    Yes, this is so true. I wish I had named this thread "distance between seams".

    I wonder if you could use that long wire quilting attachment instead of cardboard, you know the one meant to help you do parallel quilting lines. I tried to leave this as a comment on Bonnie's page but it wouldn't do it with my Google id.

    Jean I use "the long"attachment quite a bit.and it works for me..I have only 1 eye and therefore people do not realize I have no dept perception...Try sewing with one eye closed. I think I will also try the cardboard way it seems interesting. good luck witch ever you use.
