On my Babylock, it is one bump to the right on the stitch width. Or if your 1/4" stitch is at say 3.0 then bump to 3.5. One more thing, If you can get the 100% cotton DMC quilting thread. It is great. Strong and you don't need to do the scant 1/4" thing. I have put this thread to the test. What they advertize is true! Give it a shot.
