great Idea.... I'll use this for teaching my girl scouts to sew 1/4" seam in quilting. I've been drawing the line but if the line is fat (pencil is getting dull) it throws the 1/4" off significantly and the end result is unmatched points... very discouraging for new quilters....
THANKS!
THANKS!

Very nice tip, Jan! I used a friends's Brother 1500 Sewing Machine this past weekend and it was so much easier to use than the Viking 415 I use at home. The presser foot was very different and easier (for some reason) to get a perfect 1/4" seam allowance.

Thank you for the idea, I use the masking tape on my bernina so I don't have to move it when I need to replace the bobbin ..
