I hated it...thought it caught on some seams too much, broke that sucker right off LOL

Bernina has the 1/4 inch foot with the fence on it also. I don't think they have had it very long. I don't have one for mine, and it's not that old. Now they come with them.

Most of the machines have a version of this. I have a Kenmore, a Singer and a couple of Vikings and they all have had this for quite awhile. I agree, it does make things easier. I take a tip from Nancy Z, I don't worry about the corners, I just sew off the end of the fabric and then turn it so that it aligns up to sew the next side. Works great.

I've gotta say that I didn't understand why a !/4 inch foot was such a hot deal until I used one - LOL. I used a stack of 3m yellow notes to mark the 1/4 seam. BUT after I sewed with the 1/4 foot I became a convert! It's my fav foot, and I wouldn't piece without it.

I have one on my machine too - can't live without it.

I have had my Brother 8500 for years and years. I just discovered recently that there is a stich that is a straight stitch ''R" with a P beside it. It is called a quilt piecing stitching. It is just a scant 1/4" perfect. I had purchased all kinds of 1/4" feet an accesories and here I had it all these years. I don't wander around as much with it.

I love my 1/4 inch foot. Couldn't quilt without it. I also love my SID foot. Couldn't quilt without it either. :)

I, too, have one for all of my machines. My very first Janome got me hooked on those handy little gadgets! Love them!

I use Command Strips to make the edge all across the sewing area. I also have the seam guide that suctions on the sewing extension table. When I was learning to sew an accurate and consistent 1/4 seam I used 1/4" Wonder Tape. It washes out and won't stick to the needle.
