Okay, thanks, all good ideas. I have the tape out, but was having trouble figuring out exactly where 1/4 inch was. Measuring on my foot makes much more sense.
In fact, I see some red marks on my foot. Hmmm...nope, doesn't seem to be where the 1/4 inch is.
Okay, again, thanks. I am going to either tape or just mark my foot. Gotta sew, ya know. :)
