The directions would say cut strips to 1/32" if the scant 1/4" was factored in. Most would freak at that measurement. LOL
What difference does it make? As long as your seams are all the same, your blocks will match and your quilt will be okay. I also have the foot(Pfaff) with the blade and love it. It cost $25 and well worth the cost so I don't have to worry about the seams any more. The scant 1/4 inch was started because when you press your seam you lose a couple of threads in the folding process. so some quilter started pushing the "scant". Just use the quarter inch and you will be fine!!!!
