I'm assuming that your husband isn't using the same machine as you are. There have been many suggestions about help in keeping the 1/4 inch seams, one of which is just plain old moleskin, which would be a long cheaper in the long run, because once he learns to do the seam, then he won't need it any more. I really don't think ghostrider was "judging" you, but I can certainly agree with, but they're really just "in our own opinion", please don't think we're judging you. Congratulations on your hubby wanting to learn your "hobby".
