yes, she does! you can also use quilters 1/4" tape.
i also used "white out" on the inside of the black bar on the foot..so i can see it better...
when using a leader like bonnie suggests, i find that sometimes you start,with the fabric tight up against the bar..then as you finish sewing the piece, i tended to sort of relax and let it go, therefore, the 1/4" seam was narrow at the start of the piece, and a bit wider at the end of the piece..the leader and ender took care of that little issue for me..
