I agree with this. Whenever anyone says to sew with a 1/4" seam allowance, I think they really mean a scant 1/4" seam allowance. If you test sew 3 - 2" wide strips together , press seams and measure the width of your strip set when done, you can easily test to see what your seam allowance really is. Your strip set should be 5" wide. Also moving your needle over is not the best thing to do to achieve a scant 1/4" seam allowance. Libby Lehman showed a tutorial on, The Quilt Show about this, and your stitches become a bit crooked, since the bobbin thread is being pulled a bit to the side when you move your needle off from the exact center.
