I couldn't see any extra stitches in the seam. Then after reading your reply I looked closer using a magnifying glass. Now I can see tiny stitches wherever I had hit the backstitch button! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome! That is a pretty fancy machine you have there. (I'm still using an old featherweight). It has the best owners manual I've ever seen (those from a foreign country---Japan, Swiss, Germany often leave a lot to be desired). But yours reads more like a sewing manual.. For example it shows how to make a dart, a felled seam, etc. Who would expect that in an owners manual? I saw an attachment to a foot that cuts/trims the seam while you sew....fancy, fancy. Give that Baby a hug, and happy stitching that perfect 1/4" seam (with no wadding bunched at the ends). Jane Q
