You could easily take the 3in one and cut it into 1/2in strips, lay that down then put the pinked edges on it. Then use the edge of the paper as your guide through the foot, if you pin it so the peak of the pinked edges touches the edge of the paper, you wont have to worry about trying to eyeball it and should get a consistent 1/4in seam.

You would also be ready to join lace if ever the desire struck you
