    Tool for scant 1/4" seam

    I just discovered this site that has this tool for the dreaded scant 1/4" seam. It is $11.95.
    Just thought I'd pass this on I,m going to order one ASAP.

    I have a 1/4 inch foot that allows me to move the needle as apposed to one with just a single needle hole. I love it.

    I took a workshop from Bonnie Hunter a few weeks ago and she had 1/4" ruler guide you put your machine needle in and then mark to get exact 1/4" or scant 1/4" seams. It cost $3 or $5, I don't remember, I don't know if she has them for sale on her website.
    Got fabric?

    Has anyone tried the old seam guide that you screw into the machine to hold the measurement like when sewing clothes with 5/8 seams?
