There is an attachment you can buy for your machine if there is a screw hole in the needle plate. I think it is called a seam gauge.

It will attach in front of your foot and can be used with most quarter inch feet and on most machines. Unlike things that stick to your machine it will last for years and leaves no sticky residue.
