I have a Juki TL2010Q and have recently started using the compensating foot. My seams have never been so accurate. It does give a true 1/4" seam but then I cut my pieces a tad bit larger. That way when I sew two pieces together they come out to the correct measurement. I've been thinking about buying the Juki 1/4" foot with the guide (http://www.raichert.com/azsewingstore/p-JTLF2.htm) but haven't done so. Has anyone tried this foot? I did get an offbrand one, but the needle didn't go through the center of the hole which made getting an accurate seam a bit frustrating.

i do believe that the machine does come with a 1/4" guide. i had the previous model and did not notice it for the longest time. did you check on your manual's parts list... it may be pictured there. i agree, the juki is a great piecing machine.

I did notice that the compensating foot was close to 1/4". I haven't tried piecing with it though. Have you? I guess I have to try! Thanks![/QUOTE]
Yes I have and mine is an exact ¼" so I can adjust slightly for a scant seam and am happy with the result. I think we are misled by the term 'compensating foot'.

I have have that foot and it works great. Piecing is wonderful on the 2010Q but mine is now on a Grace Frame.

Let's just hope that my printer is as accurate as the machine. I'm also going to try the Fons & Porter method:

Re the magnetic seam guide I have read that you should not use on a machine that has electronics. Just FYI. I sure wish I could find one that works well on my Pfaff. Have tried post it notes,command strips, tape etc but still can't get a scant quarter inch because I can't get close enough to the feed dogs with the quarter inch foot on it. Still trying. The one on Nancys Notions has been unavailable since way before Christmas! If you have another idea please post!

But with regards to a 1/4" on a pfaff; doesn't this foot fit?

Hmm... that wasn't much information. Well, the Swedish Pfaff-site was actually much better:

I use this foot on my Pfaff and I so love it!
