Wondering if there is an easier way...
#11
I am going to look for a 1/4 foot! Yes, Gale is right...the fabric strip covers up the plate whichever way I turn it. And I discovered the hard way that I need the foundation strip! I did try sewing the first pieces together and the result was...not good. Rip!! So, the muslin strip helps though it's in the way! I think these fabrics, being knit, and even though they are stabilized are stretchier than starched cotton.
I don't want to ever touch knit fabric again after this quilt!!

If your keys are cut to size, and you have the first one on, it shouldn't be hard to sew the next one down. Just line the edge up and use a consistent seam allowance. It doesn't need to be perfect. Nobody will measure if the keys are identical.

sounds like you could use the arm that fits into a walking foot to enable you to space your seams evenly...do you have one of those? it's a weird looking "L" shaped piece of metal that fits in to the back of the walking foot and slides side to side to set the distance from the previous seam.
