I decided to sew with a scant 1/4" on my current project and I've about had it. Seams are coming out much more wonky than when I use a full 1/4". I don't think I'll do this again. My understanding is that we are supposed to use the scant 1/4 most all of the time. If so, why can't they make a scant 1/4" foot? I have enough trouble sewing a nice, straight, perfect, even 1/4" but when I have to sew it short by 1 or 2 threads it a little too messy for me.
