quick question
#11
Check out homesew.com. They sell a lot of different feet. When I bought bobbins from them, I called and they could tell me if it would fit my machine or not. I'm sure they could do the same with the feet. And they are a lot cheaper than $35.

When I need to mark the 1/4 inch seam line on my machine I place my tiny 1 1/2 inch square ruler under the presser foot, moving it to the left until the needle is directly above the 1/4 inch mark. Gently lower the needle to sit on the 1/4 inch mark and place several layers of masking tape along the right hand side of the ruler.

Many machines come with a seam guide. Are you sure you don't have one? It is a metal piece with a slot for a thumb screw, and a bend in the other end to but the fabric against. I use it even with the 1/4 inch foot. I don't like having to clean tape residue off my machine.

There is a special "tape" strip you can buy that you can put on and off the machine. Buy it at your LQS. Measure out 1/4 inch from the actual needle and place it down on the base of the machine. I don't bother with the foot anymore even though I have it.
