Doesn't your sewing machine eat those tine pieces? Is there a trick to sewing them by machine and they not getting lost under the needle?
You can actually get a 1/8 inch foot for many machines, that is just like the 1/4 inch foot. Some people ( and me sometimes ) use the regular 1/4 inch and then cut it down. You can always try that.
Oh, and no, the pieces don't get eaten by the machine.
