The 5.5 mm machines feeds that pieces so much straighter than the 9mm machine. If you look at those 9mm machines, the fight feed dog may be too far to the right to fully catch the fabric when doing a 1/4 inch seam. I don't know about the dot to dot method, just that straight stitch or at least 5mm machines piece a lot easier that 9mm ones. At least the one's I have tried.
