Welcome and waving from Arkansas. You're not the Lone Ranger on this one. I've found it really helps to use a piece of painters tape on my machine to mark a 1/4" line and not totally rely on my 1/4" foot. Don't give up and by the way.....none of us are perfect.

Being a newbie myself, I have the same problem. Not only that I cannot get my cutting accurate either.

After hours of frustration, I just say, poo, oh well, it gives it character. ;)

Does anyone else have that problem or what can I do to make my quilting better? I do try to quilt or sewing every minute I can. Can't wait to make new quilting friends.

Happens to me all the time! Welcome to the group!
