Hi kate2,
greetings from the Sacramento area in CA.
The 1/4" seam allowance requires practice. I use a special 1/4" foot with my machine.
I would recommend that you start with an easy pattern where a 1/4" seam is not as important. When I first started quilting, I made sure that my seams were consistent. I KNOW that they were far from 1/4"
