Thank you so much for all of your hints, suggestions and encouragement. My needle doesn't move over a click or two, I sure wish it did, that would help in making that scant quarter. What I really wish is for there to be an adjustable 1/4" foot (though it would no longer be called a 1/4" foot), one that could be adjusted from maybe 1/8" to 1" and the guide part of it would be a couple inches longer in length. I also would like it to be clear instead of metal. (Yeah, I'm probably asking for too much.) I find when I get to to the end of the seam I'm stitching I can no longer see if the seam edge is lying against the guide or not so for about 5 stitches it's as if I'm sewing blindfolded so that tends to make the end a bit wonky. If it were clear this wouldn't be a problem.
My wing clipper came yesterday and I love, love, love it, so easy to cut to the right size. I did put some Transpore tape on the bottom so it wouldn't slip. I made another practice quilt and am happy to say this one came out much better, an almost perfect 6 1/2", unlike yesterdays which was a good 1/8" short in spots. I'm attaching a picture, in reality it's not as wonky as it looks. Except for the top two points, one a little too big, the other a little too little. Overall I'm feeling much better about my flying geese.
Now I have to clean up my sewing area and get started on my quilt.
