don't forget utube there are so many quilting tutorials on there and you don't have the expense of a book. I did see that someone suggested using the normal foot for sewing, if you can adjust your needle, move it to the right and see if you get a seam closer to 1/4" This board is so helpful and you will get all the questions answered you need. Are you going to piece by hand? I didn't see that you had a machine. Anytime you can give us specific information, we can give you specific answers.
