Good luck from a former Mainer.

Judee,
Quite a move from ME to CA. I would be willing to send you some of our snow if you are feeling homesick. :) I have played with the needle position too. I think if I had started out by using the edge of the foot as a guilde to begin with at least all of the blocks would be the same size. But I kept trying for that 1/4 inch. The last 2 that I finished are the same! yay!
