If I can't see it without my nose an inch away, why does it matter?? I am stuck in this anal mode worrying about my seams being one thread off and I know it's stupid yet I keep doing it.
And I ripped out two areas to line up the seams better. One was pretty bad though-from before I was using the glue.

Have you tried measuring the quarter inch on your machine with a ruler,, and using painters blue tape, mark a 'scant' quarter inch all the way across the front of the machine? I do this even on my New machine, or NONE of my seams are straight. I have challenges to sewing straight, and this is my remedy. I can even keep the seams straight while talking! I hope this helps! :thumbup:
