Thanks for the tip! I have a Bernina Activa 220 and was wondering why my blocks were off. In this Month's Quilter's World magazine there's a detailed article about how to make sure you've got a true 1/4 seam and when you find that 'sweet spot' of the perfect 1/4 " seam, then mark it on your machine- or in your case, move the needle one position closer. Great tip!
Kind Regards,
