Ideal seam guide is great
 

I know its a little pricy but this little gadget is well worth it. I get perfectly straight seams all the time. Love it

Looks interesting, but I have a top loading bobbin, do you have to remove it every time you need to change the bobbin?

I don't see a picture.

Same here. Would like to see photo and know more about the guide!!

Here is a video of it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LW8E8jPIHac

Yes you do, but it just lifts off easily. I have the long one (not shown in the video) which has a cutout so the guide does not interfere with the feed dogs.

It looks great but I don't like the price...I do the same thing with a credit card held down by blue tape or moleskin...you can use an index card to measure...the lines are 1/4" apart exactly so can just punch holes at appropriate spot and put under needle...Bonnie Hunter sells a plastic small piece that has the hole measurements for around $5...I would love this if their price was more reasonable...$50 is too much for me

Very pricey. I had something similar and because I have a top loading bobbin after a while the stickiness of the back wore off

It looks like a great way to get a better 1/4" seam at any ways I've tried.
But does that stickiness not hurt the machine base?
How often can you restick and unstick before it no longer usable?

I use a pile of painters tape. Gave one to each of my 4H girls too. I do like that it's longer than most seam guides. I feel that helps in the straight seams.

The Ideal seam guide is great. You do get the exact seam measurement you want. The scant 1/4 was always hard for me to get, but with this guide I get it just right. When the sticky side gets dirty all you have to do is use some Fantastic, Mr. Clean or any mild cleaning soap, spray on then use your finger to clean it, run water over it and pat dry and it is as good as new. I have used it for over a year now and it still sticks fine to my machine.

I bought one for my featherweight thinking it would be the cat's neow. It worked great fir a short time, but now I can't get it to clean up sufficiently to stick.

I don't see a picture either.

This will probably give some of you palpitations, but after many different ideas to try and get a perfect "scant" quarter inch seam, I turned my sewing machine on so the needle was at the neutral position, I then figured out what a perfect "scant quarter inch would be. Using a permanent ink pen, I drew a line from next to the needle down to the front of the machine. Now I only have to watch the line as I sew. Seams are perfect every time! I just redraw the line as it fades. (It is my machine and I can deface it to make my work easier....lol!)

When I first began quiltmaking and was anxious about the 1/4" seam (being used to a 5/8" in garment sewing), I used blue painters' tape, a hint I saw online. Now I don't use anything.

I did that for awhile, too, as well as using blue masking tape. I can move the needle on my Brother, and on my older machines I just kind of know where that 1/4" is. I don't seem to have problems with it but I don't make terribly complicated patterns either.

See post # 5.

There are other brands that are nearly identical that do the same thing. I know Dritz makes one. I have one that isn't made any longer but it looks just like the dritz ones. I lost the part you stick on the right side so I just use post-it pads.

This was my issue with my 301. I ended up removing the original adhesive and using the smallest of the clear Command strips. Works really great. That adhesive is usable for several times, when it is not, I pull it off and replace it. You can buy just the refills on the strips and I keep them in my twirly basket beside my machine.

I bought the magent one from Walmart for less than $3. It works great on all machines and I can move it around depending on what I need. Before anyone says anything about the magnents, just think, I have a magnent hoop for my emb machine that is so much more stronger than the little one for the seam guides. It's not going close to the computer part so its ok. Most of the times though, I just use my foot, I know what settings get me what I need.

I don't see a picture either

I found this to be the best tool I have. Got one for each machine and LOVE them.
