Thanks for the tip. I have a 1/4 inch foot but I still have trouble getting my seam exactly right.
|
in desperation, don't forget that the lined (or ruled) 'index cards' are exactly 1/4 inch. Use them to mark your seams. Inexpensie solutions
|
I tried this today, and I love it....works great!! Thanks for sharing.

The command strip provides a guide that goes way beyond what the foot will do. I am using both.

I had been using a magnetic strip that was OK. I set up the commando strips last night and I love it. With all the tips I have picked up off this list over the last year, my sewing has improved 100%.

I have the 1/4 food with metal side guide but I like this much better. I can make the guide as long as I need, not just length of the foot. But I found an extra plus to this. If you can see the thread behind my needle the strip holds the thread out of my way after I cut it. I tend to get the thread in my way when I'm starting a new seam.

I bought some of the shorter replacement strips and got 20 in the package, I think. I am thinking of putting one of them on the feed dog cover plate and putting the other one butting up against it on the cover plate of my bobbin. That way I don't have to cut them. I can also but them up to each other end to end to make thee line longer on other machines. Or at least this is what I was thinking when I bought them. I was planning on leaving the side that sticks to the holder with the paper on it. Which side did you actually adhere to the machine, anyway?

I use the picture hanging refills that have the paper pull off on the back, one side is sticky one side is pebbled.
