the package instructions for the Accufeed 1/4" foot recommend setting the needle position to 5.5.
that makes a what i call a generous 1/4" seam. (if you line up the bottom of a ruler along the edge of the fabric, the stitched line will run along the top of the 1/4" line on the ruler.)
exactly 1/4" is 5.7 (the stitching line disappears under the 1/4" line on the ruler)
scant 1/4" is 5.9 (the stitching line runs just under the 1/4" line on the ruler)
