The 1/4 inch tape I think Ninnie is refering to is called "Tiger Tape" you can get it from Clothilde. It is 1/4 inch wide and comes with lines marked 12 lines/inch, 9 lines/inch and 4 lines/inch. I like it because I don't have to "think" about my stitch length and it gives me an edge to follow so my stitching is nice and straight :D
