I use mine all the time. Love it.(: :thumbup:

For me it's the best foot for my machine ever made!

I have the bladed one with my Janome and it improved my sewing so much. I love it.

What is the "bladed one"?

There is a 1/4" foot that looks kind of like a regular sewing foot you just use the edge of the foot for a guide. The bladed foot has a blade down the right side that sticks out in front of the foot to help guide the fabric to keep it to a perfect 1/4" seam (once you've figured out your needle adjustment).

I love my 1/4" foot. Also recently bought 1/4" with guide that works great for most piecting. I get consistent seam widths.

"raising hand" in agreement :)

[quote=watterstide]Just a heads up, to the new piecers/quilters, just because you have a 1/4" foot on your machine, does NOT mean you get the 1/4" seam allowance!
your machine needle needs to be moved to the left or right, to get the proper seam allowance.

When I started quilting, I bought the 1/4 foot with my machine. Watterstide is right. For three years, I assumed that my quarter inch seams were right because I was using the proper foot. There was a lot of unsewing and 'fudging' things to make my blocks line up. Then I learned that my needle could be moved in two tiny increments to the right. Along with the 1/4 inch foot, everything is spot on.

Yes love my 1/4" foot for my B630, and love it. Would love to have a walking foot, but $'s are short now. Does anyone have one they would like to sell?

So someone see if they can answer this: I have a Baby Lok Quilter's Pro with a 1/4" foot, and the guide on the machine - of course they don't match each other so I said 'ahHA' i will use my Omnigrid and measure from the neeedle out to see which I should use - the foor or the guide - and it matched NEITHER. I moved the needle postion - still no luck!I grabbed a pattern with the 1/4 allowance marked and guess what? It didn't match either the foot OR the guide? So same as Jennie - I have had to do a lot of fudging over the years! SO - any ideas? Should I just commit to using one or the other as a measurement? The foot falls just short of the 1/4" and the guide falls to the outside! Which one?? ARRRRGGGGHHH..........
