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.

A walking cast. --Giggle--

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.

All this time -- since I've been quiltmaking -- I've used the regular foot for my Singer Touch 'n Sew, aided by blue masking tape on the machine to mark the 1/4 inch. But yesterday while at Jo Ann's, I bought an actual 1/4 inch foot. Got home, tried it, and it does NOT fit my machine, even though it's supposedly a Singer product (marked Singer with their well known logo) and the packaging indicates it fits all Singers.
Back to the blue masking tape, I guess......or using my Brother 450Q to piece, which means I have to set it up on a table somewhere, when my trusty Touch 'n Sew lives in its own cabinet and is handy at all times. |

Always had problems with my 1/4" seam until I found this:
http://www.newleafstitches.com/index...d=15&Itemid=32 I now use my clear plastic open toe foot and this product. Best thing since sliced bread!!! 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. |

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: http://www.bernina.com/en-US/Product...g-accessories/ |
