I find it hard to use the 1/4" foot as it 'catches" my fabric so I use painters tape instead. While we're on the subject of feet, my elderly friend is looking for a Brother SA129 spring action quilting foot for her Project Runway and can't pay a lot. Where is the best place to look for one?

I have a compensating foot for my Juki that also fits my Baby lock Jane. I use that when piecing.It came with my Juki and not cheap at all.

What is a compensating foot? I just got a new Juki at Christmas time.

It might not fit because of the slanted needle on the Touch and Sew. I have a T&S also, that some of my so called fits all machines feet, do not fit. I too purchased Singer attachments that do not fit my Singers; I have two different models.

I'm happy to see that the magic hasn't disappeared from this site in the several months I've been away. It still has the power to make me buy something I didn't know I needed 5 minutes ago! Now I can't wait to try this.

We moved to be near our only grandson. There's nothing like a major move, selling a house and buying another to throw a monkey wrench into ones hobbies. Finally the sewing room is somewhat organized and maybe this new method of getting a quarter inch seam will provide a bit of impetus.

I have used a foot with a guide, and it's usually pretty accurate for me, but these guidelines on the machine bed seem as if they will give me a little bit of a head start or at least an extra measure of accuracy, especially with corner-to-corner sewing. Thanks for posting this link, imsewnso!

I have been using the 1/4" foot that came with my Janome. However it seemed like I don't necessarily get a 1/4" seam with it. I have tried marking the 1/4 'with Bonnie Hunter's seam guide and use my regular foot and it works.

Thanks for this. The one I bought looks as though it would fit, has the little bar across it, but it won't snap on to the slant part of the presser foot.

I'm now afraid to order one since returning something by mail is even more trouble than returning it to JoAnn's. I'll probably just go back to using painter's tape. So far I've made 8 to 10 quilts doing it that way.

From what I have read, you have to adjust the needle position to get a correct 1/4" seam. I was using the patchwork foot with mine ("O" foot) and then read about the "O2" foot which supposedly let you get a 1/4" seam without adjusting the needle. Wrong. My sister bought me the O2 and I still have to keep my needle in a certain spot that is not the default. I still like it though.

I use Bernina feet on my 440 but when I need something special like #63 or #69 I go generic.
What made my mind about no brand feet:
