Hey I am a strong supporter of "whatever works!" So you do what you need to do to make it work out?
Scant 1/4 is when you set your seam to 1/4 and then make it one needle position skinner. I don't know why anyone would do this unless the cut to close and have to do that. I also hate scant...I mean do,you want 1/4"
seams ore NOT? Lol
