Thread: Babylock Crescendo and 1/4" seam.

Could you please tell me if you are using the 1/4" foot for the Crescendo and if so where to you set the width? If I use this foot and just sew from the middle of the foot - my seam is too wide. I've tried moving needle over to 4.5 and that helps a little - but can't get a scant 1/4" foot.

If I use the general foot - I have to move needle over to 6.50 to get 1/4 seam. Very frustrated with both feet for the illusive 1/4" seam Could you tell me what foot you use and your width setting on your Crescendo?

Thanks all.

I use the 1/4" foot and the needle is at 3.5mm (that is the setting the needle automatically goes to when I turn the machine on). I set the laser to 9.5 and that guides the fabric to a perfect 1/4" seam. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your replies. There isn't a Babylock dealer here in Flag. I'll try the J foot at 6 and 1/4 foot at 4.5 and see if they are the same. Cybrarian - I don't know why I am having this problem either except my pieced blocks never come out right.

something that has helped me determine where the needle is coming dowm in relation to the edge of the presser foot. :

I use an index card that has lines printed at 1/4 inch intervals or 1/4 inch grid graph paper -
Line up the edge of the foot on one of the lines, then sew to see if i need to move the needle.

This is, of course, assuming that I line up my fabric with the edge of the presser foot.
