Be careful and read the instructions for whatever quilt you are making. If the instructions say use a "scant" 1/4" seam, your 1/4" foot may not work. I just had a class with lazer cut pieces, and when the teacher said "scant", she meant "scant"! The points would not line up using my 1/4" foot. I was using my FW, so just had to move the fabric over a thread to make it work.
