The Post-It-Note idea works! I'm so happy!
#1
I read on this wonderful board that the cheapest seam guide is a thick stack of post-it-notes to guide the elusive scant 1/4" seam. OMG - how easy! Why did I resist for so long??? And when it needs to be removed for diagonal seams, bobbin changing or loses its stickiness - just remove the one from the bottom and re-stick. Thank you, whoever it was that conviced me to try this! Makes me want to go sew JUST ONE MORE SEAM!

Another way to make straight seams is to take a thick slice of masking tape and place it as far as you need away from your needle to guide the fabric. I cut a deep slice across the width of a masking tape roll with a utility knife (about 7-10 layers thick). Unroll your slice and place it 1/4 inch from your needle in front of the presser foot. Your fabric should glide along the tape edge toward the needle keeping a straight seam.
