Like many I struggled finding 1/4" mostly because I was lining up fabric with edge of foot. It was never right and many blocks were undersized! I always use 50 WT thread but it still happened. I kept thinking I'd get it right with practice ! I recently made a Lori Holt quilt and with all those seams accuracy is a must. My light bulb moment came when I lined my fabric up as usual and moved my needle over 2 clicks. Every block was exact. Maybe it's my eyes or how I sit but once I decided to quit trying to conform to the machine and let it conform to me it was a breeze.
