If you have no needle adjustment I would suggest the stack of sticky notes. Not familiar with bernina models at all so if it's not a computerized machine, the magnetic seam guide is fabulous. Just measure from your needle, place the stickies or whatever and you are good to go.

IF you are talking about the VINTAGE 830 you have 5 needle positions on the dial. I look at them like this:
to the extreme left is position 1; to the extreme right is position 5; in between are 2, 3, 4.
Using foot # 000, a scant 1/4 inch is in position 4. I use a small sticky note pad against the presser foot as my seam guide. It's easily removed for other widths or angles.
