Most of us have gotten a gentle reminder that we are not allowed to use the "problem in that area" acronym. We also very careful about using capital letters.
I am rarely sewing quilts that I don't have to be concerned about my seam as long as I'm consistant. When I sew two pieces together, I need the resulting piece to be a specific length or the next parts won't line up. I also can't stand to sew if I can't actually see the edges of the fabric. The foot on my machine works great for me because I need to have about 1/32" sticking out and that is where I need to be. I've tried using a 1/4" foot and then I needed to have the fabric completely covered by the foot - drove me nuts so I took it off.
