When I tried this method, I just pulled about 1/8th inch or so stack off the top of the sticky note pad as one unit, then just pressed it down on my machine. That worked, but the top sheets of note paper curled and became annoying. I even tried this product once when I saw it on someone's tip page somewhere:

Yep...moleskin strips. They have a sticky back, and enough bulk to have a good edge to use to guide the fabric. They stuck really well too. But I didn't like them stuck there when I wasn't trying to sew a 1/4 inch seam.
Isn't it great to know lots of different ways to do a tedious chore? If you get bored or tired of one method, you can always switch to another.
