The lines are 1/4" apart and I use them for measuring where the 1/4" is. Put you needle on one of the lines and look at where you sewing should be.
This is the best advice......since you can't move the needle, just figure out how to place your fabric through. I've managed to identify a specific location ON THE PRESSER FOOT because I too don't want to have to remove any guides to get to the bobbin. Good Luck!
