I don't sew too much with pins but when I have to use a pin I try and put it in from the left, that way I can pull it out closer to the foot than when I put it in from the right.

The only thing I don't like about the foot is I have a top loading bobbin and I have to raise the pressure foot to take the plastic cover off the bobbin case. I have no problems going over seams because I turn one, one way and the other one the other way. That keeps the seams from being too thick and lets them match more.
I bought my 1/4 inch feet with guides (can't keep up with them, so always have a spare) from Amazon and love them. Trying such a foot is certainly an inexpensive experiment. froggyintexas
