I have Janome machines. Mine have only 2 needle positions. I own a 1/4" ft., but don't use it because it does not give me a scant 1/4" plus I dislike the metal bar. I use my "A" foot, with my needle in the far left position, using as a guide the right "line/mark/groove" where the metal portion attaches to the plastic portion (on the bottom of the foot). There is of course a matching left side mark; occasionally, I need to use the left one and I then move the needle to the center position. Another good thing about sewing with the needle in the left position is that my fabric does not get sucked into the hole, as I do not have a single-hole plate.
