Why do we need it? We are always told we need to have a perfect quarter inch seam. Then you get a pattern or a kit that tells you to use a scant quarter inch, or one or two threads less than a quarter inch? If you foolishly think you can ignore these instructions...you will loose your points or something else will not fit. But at least you were told. My real peeve is the ones that don't mention you should use the scant quarter inch. Am I the only one who finds this crazy? Can someone explain why everything can't be sewn using the the quarter inch seam we try to perfect with special feet and other gadgets? I am truly blessed that this is all I have to complain about
