Help me find a way to end a perfect 1/4" seem.

For quilt show quality, perfect results the first time, glue baste the fabric ends together and then draw a 1/4 sewing line to follow at the end . I sew very slow at the start and end of seams and push the end fabric in place. I usually use my seam ripper to push or guide the fabric. It takes practice and knowing your machine.

I use a single needle plate - the one with just a small hole for straight stitching. It helps a lot to keep your seams, as well as the beginning and ends of seams straight. I resisted getting one for a while,as it seemed like an unnecessary expense as I already had a needle plate, but well worth the cost. Mine was about $35.
