I always use Post-It sheets, too, when piecing, so I have great accuracy. I peel off five of them at one time and cut a 1/2" strip off the sticky end. I place it a scant 1/4" away from the needle on the right just behind the foot extending about 2.5" ahead of the needle. See the picture below.

Also, here is a PDF file I wrote for my 4-H quilters about getting accuracy in measuring, cutting, and piecing.

Sticky strip of five Post-it notes (may need to be taped down) - use a 1/4" lined notecard to place the strip
