I had a 1/4" foot with a little springey front tab on it.....and merryly made several squares....until they started coming up 'too small'....spent an entire day on my problem. Ended up that my little front tab was bent out of shape and giviing me an almost 3/8" seam .....put the foot in a bottom drawer, got out my regular foot and started measuring from the middle of the needle to 1/4"...adjusted the needle to the right until I got a "SCANT" 1/4" and marked my machine.....As others have said would rather trim down a square than ripe out the block......That is one principle that I like about Eleanor Burns, everything is oversized, and she trims after sewing her seams....Yes another step, but sure is easier to trim down than ripe out.....And that is just my humble opinion on the subject....
