Much agreed, I learned that the faster I sew the farther off my sew line is. I have been slowing down and am getting a precise 1/4 inch seam allows.

I also noticed that I was holding my fabric too far to the right and it was not feeing in to my foot straight. I learned this by accident when I forgot to remove my "The Angler 2". It has a 1/4 inch seam allowance line, I started placing my fabric next to the line and sewing slow. My lines are much straighter now

If you need a visual I can post a picture for you.

I find that most inaccuracies are due to a lot of impatience, wanting to get things done fast . Believe me slowing down does make for a better product
