I simply use one of my rulers that has thin lines on it. Would work just as well. Here is a link to it on Amazon:

I place my ruler under the presser foot in a similar manner, lower the needle so it is just to the right of the 1/4" line on my ruler, lower the presser foot to hold the ruler in place, make sure the ruler is running straight from front to back, and use the hard right edge to position an adhesive seam guide in place for my piecing. My favorite is this Dritz product:

but it may no longer be available. If not, I will go back to my trusty moleskin. (Moleskin is an adhesive foam product available in the foot section of any pharmacy, Target, Walmart, etc.). This creates a solid guide against which I can butt my strips as I sew.

I use it. I use it to mark my machines throat plate and to check the accuracy of my 1/4 inch feet with the fabric guides. I accidentally threw my first one away by not hanging it up when I was finished with it. When I realized it was gone the next time I wanted to double check a measurement I ordered another one. I love the little thing!
