I always move my needle over 2 from the left. I have a Bernina 830, close to a 730. Yesterday I tried my 1/4" foot to see if I would like sewing that way, but my fabric was pulled down and bunched up and was a mess. So I went back to using the whole feed dogs. That works so much better. I use an applique foot and move it clear over to the right and back it up 2 notches. Then I use my specialty ruler that gives me a true scant 1/4" seam and put a seam guide down. That works so well for me. I never have any problems with the fabric pulling or not moving because of not enough feed dogs to pull it. Try that. If you want to know the specialty ruler that gives a scant 1/4", pm me and I'll tell you. I would even buy you one because they are so great.
