Any advice?

Maybe you're letting the fabric go underneath the edge of the guide? I've got a 9000 too and the 1/4" guide foot makes perfect 1/4" seams for me. You want to make sure the fabric lines up to the inside edge of the foot. If you're letting the fabric go underneath the guide part, then yes the seams will be a bit larger than 1/4".
